Vaeagleav - Just stick with it , I have had the same happen to me where I coordinate an event and no one shows up , other times 10-15 show up. I agree sometimes it is alot more fun to attend a event while you dont have to worry about time tables or discounts , what ever the case.? Soon you will get a core group of members and your get together will get larger and larger. All of the chapters start somewhere they just need people like you to keep the light on and keep it going. I am sure you are doing a great job , keep it up.
To respond to the drama -
You know Ro , first of all review my post , did i mention your site ? No , I didnt mention your site . In fact I know of at least 2 that allow such content. I support only one club which is this club. I do not post or view Avowners , clubav or avstyle or anyother site , only this club and the chapters of it.? ?Please Enjoy what you are doing , not losing any sleep over it here. And if you notice I didnt attack Cliff , I said he was 100 % RIght on the money with his comments !!!? I added the top paragraph to further the point that this is how the membership of Norcal are trying to run it , like the Socal and AzClubI dont have any problems with Cliff , the past is the past and I wont let things in the past interfer with the future and any event that he attends or chapter he is involed with can only be better with his presence , I know ours was while he was with us !
2nd - I dont need a hug for you or any other member that has left , you may of tagged us for the club but we were the ones that started the chapter and with the help of the members it has grown and become more than just trucks , it has become a family of great Avalanche owning friends.?
3rd - We signed up for your site after hearing from other members about a new avalanche site that you were advertising for on our chapter forum via PMs. This was BEFORE you required people to be submit to the 21 and over content.? Have we tried after that ? NOPE , I am interested in the trucks , not adult matterial. Besides you turned both of our memberships down as " Your membership here would be a conflict of intersts " esentialy banning us and other Norcal members from your site after you left the norcal chapters.
4th - Members Banned - The norcal Chapter has only banned 4 people since we have been orginized starting on 3 years now.
One asked to be removed and was banned after we were told about a distrubing comment placed in their profile. This happened almost a year ago and said member has been asked to rejoin us.
One was removed after 3 complaints were made from female members about harassing/stalking type behavior . We asked how they would like to see this distrubing things resolved and all parties agreed to have the member removed from the chapter. We could not let something like this go and the membership was notifed of the action taken place and all parties involed were not mentioned by name to protect their privacy.
3rd was removed after members were tired of getting PMs from that member creating drama and unrest that was not nessary.?
4th was removed after being an unsafe driver in a parking lot during and event , which was a probation and the ban was lifted.
Now I am not going to name any names because to be honest after these people left the chapter has been pretty much drama free and has just helped the club become closer.
Did I claim to own the internet ? Dont think my name is Al gore but hey your story. I simply stated my viewing choices of the internet. Oh and since you brought up Freedoms , how about speech ?? Someone posted how I would like to see a chapter run and? I posted my comments ! That I like to see family orientated chapters of the trucks we own. Then I get attacked by you , the funny thing is I really dont care what your views are , ESPEICALY on how our chapter is run. You had a chance and you offered tons of input on how to help make this one better but when you were asked for your leadership at the meeting and another member nominated you to take charge , you refused and walked away instead and started your own club. More power to ya !
Nuff said on this end - enjoy your night.
