 Topic  Elite Meet-Ups :) 
 Message  Hellooo!!

Thinking top of my mind. It would interesting to have monthly meet-ups of Elite writers and discuss poetry, hobbies and extend friendships :). It would nice to meet people who share the same interest of poetry. What do you all think?!

1)Set up a date
2)Select a venue
3)Confirm your seat
4)Meet
5)Post after-meetup photos

This could be a start of a mini community :)

Pardon me if this sounds vague but it was a Sunday thinking.

 Message  Okay, so you’re thinking a regional thing, sort of, with, eventually, lots of smaller groups, and then sharing pics and experiences of the various meets on the board. Right? Do I have it right now? mae

 Message  Oh...I am sorry if I confused you guys :) I think I did not make myself very clear when I said 1),2),3)&4) in the opening post. I meant face-to-face.

Beso, it would be a good idea what you have suggested. But, heyy if webmaster informs, it would be a official thing :) And it would be easier too :). And since, you have initiated this idea, we can take it up from there on a little larger scale :)

Ray! Good luck for your training. Hope it goes well...:).

Star : I meant photos, because it would be a memory and lot of people who are not very keen to meet strangers as they do not know if it’s genuine etc, could join take some interest when they see the pics and see that it’s a decent thing :)

Mae : The international thing doesn’t matter much as lot of other boards have international community :) People in Florida meet-up and others join them from nearby places and the others see the pics and they are connected as a community :) So, next when someone who visits them from out of Florida, they kind of announce another such meet-up :). Something like that :)

The idea is to extend friendships and create a mini- E.S community :).

 Message  That was exactly my concern, mae. The international thing.

And yes, I think ven means face-to-face meetups. The whole "after meetup photos" thing tipped me off =)

 Message  Okay, maybe I’m misunderstanding vendanta’s meaning here. I thought the idea was an online meeting - sort of a private chat. Ven, are you talking about meeting in person? On a monthly basis? I can see logistics problems with that. Mainly because the people on this board are from all over the world. Please clarify for confused old me. mae

 Message  i’m gonna be going to ohio in a few months... i think MyX is supposed to go out for a beer with me...

i’ve talked to a couple of E.S. people about meeting for coffee and such.. i think it would be a good idea.. though at first (because mae is right about the meanies) maybe it should be tried out on a more personal level.. instead of being advertised by webbie... i dont know...

 Message  I remember, MyX, when you were the nastiest one around. I was here previously under another user name and you left one or two dandies on my page. I hadn’t thought about it, but you’re right, IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!! 8) mae

 Message  Lol..Mae :) Well, fingers crossed here.

WolfStar : We could have it in our respective places. I am sure there would be more people posting poetry from your province too. We do not know them. It could be as little as two people.We can contact the webmaster and he can inform people.And we can post the after-event details too. So, people know that it actually happened :) This would be a regular event and later more people would join us :) But, we could start from somewhere :) I think, I sound too positive but as Mae says, it happens on other board, so then why not this one. Nastiness would go away eventually.

 Message  It seems like a meet would be a little hard to arrange. So many people from so many countries... That’s be tough for people who can’t travel or whatever.

 Message  Could you believe Mae, that I used to be the nastiest one around?

I set some kind of new standard of tolerance here, since people liked my writing, I wasn’t thrown off.
But that spawned a bunch of juvenile delinquents spouting vulgar gibberish and random ramblings that spammed the juicing fuck out of people’s pages...they got away with it.
I guess you could say that I can be blamed for the obnoxiousness.

 Message  Cannot see any excitement here! :)

Sorry, ven. If you’d talking about excitement from me, I’m incredibly wary of people on this site. I’ve been zapped repeatedly in the nastiest of manners. There are, of course, people who are an absolute delight to correspond with. It just seems that we’ll be going along really well and then someone who disagrees with my beliefs pops in and lets loose.

If you’re talking about excitement on the site, then, yeah, I see what you’re saying. Not a great deal of response. Well, let me know. Thanks for trying. mae

 Message  Ray, that would be sad but heyy, wish you well for your training. What training is this?

Mae! Cannot see any excitement here! :) I think it would take some time to roll this plan ;)

 Message  Well, vendanta, just let me know where and when and I’ll be there. mae 

 User   vedanta19 | 2005-07-07 |
 Subject  Hi :) 
 Message  Myx : I do not think so Mae meant anything like that :) Would appreciate if you like this idea of Elite Meetups :)

Mae : I think it would be a great idea, though. I think it would be interesting to meet people behind their handles :) If we just manage to bypass the nastiness as you have pointed out which is so sad. Cannot understand why people should be nasty to eachother. But, I think we can work this out with passing time :)

If we could just gather people around and we can also bring along our friends so that E.S could benefit from the same. It would be interesting advertisement for the site too. I may sound extremely positive but I guess things work out better that way :)

 Message  Feeling picked on tonight, MyX? Actually, when I wrote that you didn’t even come to mind. As far as nastiness goes, the level has so escalated on ES that you barely register. mae

 Message  Well, if you could somehow control the nastiness that seems so rampant on ES, then I think it would be great. I really enjoy the interaction on the other boards. But, I’ve gotta tell ya, I wouldn’t stick around if it were invaded by those of the nastiness ilk. i just don’t like swimming in the sewer. mae  

 User   vedanta19 | 2005-07-04 |
 Subject  Right..Mae 
 Message  I know what you mean. I think being nice to eachother comes from within.I was trying to initiate a healthy experience.I guess, there is no reason to be mean to strangers.They do not owe you anything.What do you think about this?I hope this works though.It would be exciting to make new friends from a single board.And kind of create a small world :)
