🎉ANNOUNCING: METACHAT HOMECOMING WEEKEND ‼️ Greetings MeCha bunnies. Even though we're slow here, I know we're still a community and think of y'all often. In that spirit, I'm announcing MetaChat Homecoming Weekend. Plan ahead! →[More:]Friday November 29-Sunday, December 1 is USA Thanksgiving Weekend. Traditionally it's a time when schools have homecoming events and people visit family. Why not make that a homecoming weekend for us, too?

Plan ahead to pop in that weekend to catch up with yer ol' MeCha pals. Maybe you'd like to dust off your favorite conversation starters - Lyric threads, 3 Point Update threads, SHOUTING threads, or recipe threads. Maybe you'd like to share some recent favorite shows, movies, music, or books. Whatever it is, save it up for a big ol' festivus of reconnection and chat during MeCha Homecoming Weekend. Tell your friends! See you then!

*dates not required
*you are all Homecoming Queen

It'll be early sinterklaas!

I wish we could send out an email to notify people

A message from me and pips in FLA.... We'll keep you updated.

Hang tight, Jon and Pips!

posted by mightshould 09 October | 19:20

Jon and Pips, how'd you make out? You guys okay?

We survived, it was pretty hairy, but we only lost cable just for a few hours. All things considered, we're pretty lucky. Pic are here at my flickr.

Yay! That's great news jonmc

I really like the idea. A reunion! A surge where everybody who remembers the heyday fondly jumps in again.
I do wonder though how we get them to know about it.

You'd probably have to message everybody on Facebook, which I gather is where they all went.

Facebook? Is that something you'd have to have a television to... never mind. Fuck Facebook.

As far as I've thought about this:
1. I can send an email to the emails people registered with. How many of those are actually active? No man can tell.
2. I'll probably post something on MetaTalk about it.
3. I wouldn't know where to put it on Facebook. But if I make a little graphic here, maybe people can share it in places they hang out with MetaChatters.

Oh wait...can I email everyone? It looks like I might have lost my admin login. This could be a forensic challenge.

posted by Miko 14 October | 16:49

Good idea to send an email and post on Metatalk.
I'm not on Facebook so I can't share it there.

posted by jouke 18 October | 05:18

Wow. My metachat email still works :-)

posted by jouke 21 October | 11:20

This is so great. I'll help if I can.

We'll be in Montreal that weekend, but I may poke my head out of my shell.

Oh Hai. (Just figured out how to log in for the first time in years).
