During these times we can all agree that it is important that we stick together. It seems as though barely anyone knows that the new board exists (myself included until tonight). Can we reach out to the nypd rant or the pba and have them spread the word? Obviously important news comes through email but it would still be nice to get some good discussions going again..

I have no objection to anyone changing their screen name but how about if you sign up for the new board with a new name, you let us know the name you used on the old board. That way we know who we're talking to. Some of us are old but we still can remember names once in a while.
Just about everything that could be done to notify old members was done. We couldn't access e-mail addresses so we had to get creative with the old IM system. I didn't bother sending them to anyone who signed up 5 years ago and never posted. I concentrated on the active guys. Some guys were able to figure out what I was doing, some guys couldn't. Some guys had new email addresses and never changed them on the board. Notices were posted on the NYPD rant not once but twice. Notices were posted on both of the old boards for the guys who were savvy enough to figure out how to access them. I think a good job was done. On the old board we had hundreds of members but only about 30 guys ever posted anything. I'm pretty sure we've been able to find most of those guys. I think the only guy I haven't seen yet is Backdoor. I tried to get the message to him but I was unsuccessful. If you want to post it on the PBA Bulletin Board in the Station House, please, be our guest. I can't do that. I have to use the front door. Please, spread the word.

mmkwzy, welcome aboard. Like Wiz said, we have tried to get everyone over here any way we could think of. I sent an E mail to John Nosovitch at the Retired Column of the PBA Newsletter. I don't know if it will appear in the latest Newsletter or the month after. That leaves it up to the Rant Membership to spread the word. I made up a flyer that the Members can print up. Click on the attached picture and then make copies of it. Put them up in every Precinct, HQ, Hwy etc. One in each Booth would be good too. Attachments:

Don't worry imsuit, with all of the accumulated wisdom here, I'm sure they'll figure it out.
