Ah Ha! Found some!  :yahoo:


Spezi when you mentioned ImaginAsian I thought, "Do a search on PCQ&A using his name and see what pops up".

Well, this Popped Up!


Oh wow I went to the link and the first username I saw was "Sonny".    :cry2:

Haven't thought of him for a while.

Spezi is right about the BBT thing Les... the few negative comments we've made here are only the 'tip of the iceberg' as it were, so we'll not likely be visiting there for the BaseCamp project.

Spezi, the PCQ&A thing sounds good to me, but it's your decision because from the sound of things at BaseCamp Sport and the others are leaving it up to you. Whatever site you and the others pick will be OK by me

Even BBT if you were to do that one.  :cry2:

I don't really have much to go on other than what I read at Base Camp and how they've approached other treks.

It appears to me the standard method was to scout out a number of possibilities then mention them to the Base Campers as to why they are there and then post a poll for the members to vote on the candidate.

I think that's as good an approach as any but could sure use any help in suggestions as to where we might consider going.

Did you scout the recruiting topics at the WCG forums?

I've been keeping an eye on them and there's one I've sort of kept in the back of my mind but most of the other ones are healthy large teams.   Not that being large discounts you but usually large teams are pretty good at generating interest on their own.

I'd also have to say that I'd even consider PC Review again if we are hard up for good candidates because since Ady has retired and I left they are without their top two producers and a visit might well fire them up somewhat.   Not to mention they have an excellent stats feature in place and are good folk too.     (Well I can do without flops but that's another story.  LOL)

I don't know if you knew or not but Bits and floppybootstomp had a big falling out and he left BBT quite some time back.

They were best buds and in the BBT "inner circle" as I was reminded a bunch of times when I was just a lowly mod.  LOL

The only thing I can tell you is at times having someone that's gifted with graphics is a wonderful asset I'm just not sure quite yet how or where we can make use of it but I assure you if we can we will.   :belly:

Take a look at these three topics Les:
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?topic=1060.0 ...deals with what the project is and how to get involved.

... and these two deal with the BaseCamping thing we've been talking about.
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?topic=1908.0
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?topic=1953.0

The basics are fairly simple, but if you have any questions at all I'll be happy to answer.  :disted:

OK, I'll take a look to see if it would be better as two topics.

OK, I've split the original topic and moved this new "BaseCamping Banners"  by LoneWolf-53 to the Cancer Research Team boards so that all FF members are able to participate... we had it in the staff boards while working on some of the details.
