Doesn't the forum cartel place still exist? There used to be get-togethers there.

it does and there are some, plus the weekly breakfast with varying hosts... plus there´s the Forum Cartel Groupchat and the Tourist group  who both rose from this forum (or the previous versions of it ^^) - the groupchats are mainly dead though, maybe starting there would be ...yeah... a start^^ and see where it goes from there

For the big holiday parties (halloween, new year's eve) we used to do a full 12 hours in order to cover the different timezones.  Now days, for the parties, it is just up to whomever decides to have one.  As to just general gatherings, that is real hit or miss these days, even during US prime hours.

Yes, but I don't think anyone involved in that place is actually a forum user anymore. Or at least, many of them are not involved here. It is kind of a creation out of the forums we had a little less than a decade ago.

 

I actually think the idea of a weekly social the rotates around different people's homes has some potential. Think of Hippie Bowman's "breakfast club" that was on Sundays - members volunteered to host it (the list eventually got so long you'd be signing up to host 6 or more months down the line). That party still goes on but under a different manager now.

Simply put up a thread, pick a regular time and frequency it will occur, and have people get to host on a first post first get basis.

Whoever is central to organizing it should be someone who stays on these forums regularly, without breaks (disqualifying me), and has done so for a few years or more.
- Mostly so that it doesn't suffer the Forum Cartel problem. The Forum Cartel is, I think, one of two groups composed of "former forum users" moreso than current ones...
