Response to Lowercase

Hey Lowercase, I wrote a giant reponse to your question asking if everyone knows each other and at the end I added another inlink and found a bug in my owncode that deletes what yyou have written in an inlink box if you add a second inlink. Argh!
Anyhow, when I went back your entry appeared to be gone, I encourage you to repost itso other people get a chanceto answer the question.

There are basically several tangentially related groups that have come to know each other well through the site. Many people have been on the site since fall of 2003 so it's been a while.
I know most of the people now, although there are still some I have never met. I would like the site to include all walks of people but currently most people are ages 20-35. I am 27 as are a large group of other people. Mike jil, beast and their friends are in there 20s. Robin, terry, matthew, a many other are 23-25. There are some younger and older but they haven't written much. There are 100 people signed up but only 77 have written journals.

The reason that people are related in one way or another has to do with the fact that I have a zero dollar advertising budget. Originally, during the first year, it was all done through word of mouth. Then this spring a couple of us decided to do chalk adverising on sidewalks, jill sewed the banner on my house and I made flyers (total cost 50 dollars). We also started handing the flyers out at some bars.

I wrote to artvoice to ask them to do an article and they told me it would cost 500 dollars for a half page! Which I think I shitty of them considering we are a not for profit, local community group. It actually makes me really angry. I would love to have 300 people by fall and bring in a lot more unrelated people but I'm not sure what to do, any ideas?

I originally made the site to combat the isolation from local community that results from participation in many online communities. Once the code is finally all worked out, I would like to start other local sites usingit including a site specifically for senior citizens to meet.
I am also working on epeeps.net a social networking tool for finding out who is where, what's going on,reviews, etc. It is probably going to happen sometime this fall but I'm not sure. The programming behind all of this was done by me.

To help you andother people see who knows who, although I can say everyone seems to know everyone now, I added another row to show referral on the status page, accessed by clicking on the questionmark in your control panel. You can click on the column name at the top to sort by that category and it will giveyou an idea ofhow people found the site.

I hope this helps, and please go ahead and convince all your friends to join too! and ifyou have any ideas how to make this more usuable and comfortable for new people, feel free to express it on your journal or via email. If you ever want to meet up for coffee to discuss it, feel free to email me.

Ich hasse globat so sehr

The company who's server we are on is called globat.com. Unfortunately, because we are totally not-for-profit and up to this point not-for-donation (it seems), I can only afford the cheepest and that means shotty service and foreign customer service team.

They took down our email because I sent out too many emails in a ten minute period and got marked as a spammer, even though they were legitimate. Unfortunately, the only way to remedy this involved pen, paper, and a printer. They are so 1995.

Below is my filed support ticket so I can remember this someday and laugh about the drama of foreign customer service teams when I move the site onto my own server in my house on elmwood once the donations go up, someone hosts a fund raiser, and I get a grant. It is starting to make me so depressed.




My email is not working and when I called India they told me that it was because my account was marked as a spammer account. This is very irritaing because after the two week without email that occurred last month, our site was finally starting to catch up with updates, etc.

I sent out a group email regarding site updates to the people who belong to the site and then the email went down.

When I called today I was told that I need to sign the bulk aggreement. I do not have a printer or fax machine and need to do this ASAP as the email ebing down is affecting the functionality of the site. Is there nay way to get my email running again without having to print and send stuff in. I was told by the woman that I can sign the agreeement electronically.

Sincerely,
Paul Visco

Taste of Trashy buffalo

This year had too many people, too much plastic, and no bacon wrapped shrimp, and lots of angry garbage men. I take back what I said here [inlink]paul,1256[/inlink].

(e:mattew) looks happy. He is going to get some polish sausage with no bun, it's his atkin's [inlink]paul,519[/inlink] diet favorite.

image

Here he is eating the pole.

image

Weird advertisments for seafood on the garbage. Everything else was really about garbage.

image

Look the garbage is as tall as (e:mike).

Naked Solidarity

In solidarity with (e:terry) I changed my userPic to natural me for a couple days.

I heard (e:matthew) is joining in on this. Anyone else for naturism on the estrip? It is almost the end of the warm season after all!

We are almost back to etown

We made a little stop along the way at UNO's in Henrietta, to end the "blinding sun in the eyes while driving westward at sundown" drama. The worst is when you drive to out to the wild west and it sun in your eyes everyday.

UNO's food was pretty tasty, albeit, a little bit greasy. Since this whole atkins crap skyrocketed, it has become easier for (e:matthew) to find food for his gluten intollerant body.

My foot

Dear FBI,
I thought about what else you couldn't find on my journal yet. Just wait till my profile? I figured you might want to know about my foot size, shape, etc. Paul Visco wears a size 12 shoe and has long thick toes.

image

Dear FBI,
in case you would like more data about me for your massive database on US citizens, I would like to offer a glimpse of Paul Visco's right lower jaw region when unshaven for about 1 week.
