Community And Friday Night Foruming

JohnInCarolina · April 2020

I think the Remote BAM Blast was a lot of fun and more than a few people mentioned to me they didn't appreciate until afterward how much they'd missed just hanging out with people and shooting the breeze. There is a lot to be said for community right now, and I think more than a few of us value connecting with others in the middle of all of this.

So in the interest of keeping this going, I've set up a Zoom session for every Friday night from now until we're out of this mess. It's my own account so it's not limited in terms of time, and can hold up to 100 people at once. I probably won't be able to participate myself each night, but I'll set it up so that it'll run no matter what. Use this thread to let folks know you might be dropping in.

I'll set it up to run from 7pm to 3am every Friday night. The link will be permanent, and is here:

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89600782373

DM me for the password. Or DM someone else who has it once we get this up and running. Sorry for not posting it publicly but I don't think we want to open this up to any rando walking the street. Or maybe we do. We'll come back to that.

So does @JohnInCarolina accept any legal responsibility for what goes on on the zoom calls, since he set them up?

If you are asking if he can be held to account for flailing members and such, the answer is “most definitely”.

Y’all MFers better start generating some cook threads if you're going to move all the nonsense to another platform.

I think I've sent the password to everyone who has posted in this thread so far. The password, like the bourbon, is being passed around.

I’ll take some bourbon and a password. I didn’t make it on last time around. I’ll try harder.

So if I’m reading this correctly, the password is “like the bourbon”? Intuitive enough.
