mass ***

[fdogg96]

Is there a way to send out mass ***? Or do i have to add everyone to an address book in order to do that?

First question is WHY???

Final answer should be "Not no, but **** NO!"

Last thing we need is more spam.

Buy a SHO every day for a month....you'll "cause" mass *** :woohoo:

The answer to your question is no. We limit that quantity because mass mailings can equate to spam, especially if the user did not specify that they wanted to be a part of a "mailing list". I don't even send out mass mailings via the forum. It would also eat up forum bandwidth in a hurry if everyone did this.

Your best bet is to compile a list of people that want to receive your mailings and then send out notices 2-3 at a time. I believe you are allowed to send to or CC 3 people max at one time.

Edit: Let me say this much, it appears that you are very eager and enthusiastic about getting your group of people together and I admire that and can appreciate it on the level that I've worn your shoes before, but word to the wise....don't wear out the communications channels. If a person were to PM me about meets, etc. often and I would probably shy away because it would seem more like nagging than an invite. Once a month or even bi-monthly updates on meets and events is ample IMO.

First question is WHY???

I am compiling a list of people in the Southern California area. First, I want to ask them if i can add them to my buddy/pm list only to inform them of SHOCal meets. I only plan to let them know a tentative date for the meet and any changes to it. It's not something i will do to bother them on a daily basis. Most information will be posted on the Forum. But i figure it would nice to send out a personal invite to Souther California SHO members at least 1-2 times a month about meets. Actually, the meet in Nov is the first one we've had in several months. It's often difficult because not all of our schedules coordinate. I figure it would be nice to extend an invitation to you guys.

People can drive thousand of miles to attend the SHO Convetion. I plan to attend Seattle 08 with my fellow SHOCal guys, but why can't just we, SHOFOrum and SHOCal guys just get together and hang out?

I am asking them for permission. Thanks.

then get their email addresses so you can do exactly what you want without eating up any site bandwidth

that, combined with a thread on the forums should reach 95% of the people who would even think about coming ... and it hardly eats any of bizzy's bandwidth in the process

Create an emailing list instead of a pm list? That's something i will definitely consider. I wasn't aware about eating up bandwith. Thanks for the suggestion.
