Previous Thread: What a successful run, saw many new faces and some great cars too. Loved the enthusiasm we all had for the run. Some of ya'll took a leave right after the meetup on Happy Teahouse and I think some even got lost or didn't contact again while heading to the run location, well you missed a lot of fun. The road was absolutely gorgeous and all our cars together running in a straight line looked beautiful with nothing but the noise of our engines. The woods were dark with no street lights with just our high beams and once with the cop's flashing lights. I'm glad most of us made it to the starting point, hope to see ya'll next time!
There were some complaints about many things such as: lack of information on direction, speeding, leaving others behind, and even meeting at the wrong places. Look at the previous thread for more details. Changes will come but some of you really need to keep checking the thread to know what's going on.
and to..THE NEWS:
GS400 has got the stickers ready, some of ya'll can meet him up to get it or perhaps get them on a mini meet.
The Fast and The Furious has a one time showing on the 22nd, more information on this post //
If you have any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to share. /hou/ has grown in numbers exponentially so we need to start being more organized in the way we do things.
Make sure you download the app "Zello" and join the group /hou/ This is our form of communication when on the road, it's a walkie talkie app for iPhone and Android > zello.com/channels/k/enuwI
At times it's hard to anticipate when you will arrive at the meet location, so if you're coming from afar leave a bit early then. We generally stay at the meeting location for an hour, so that should give you enough time. Keep checking the threads for updates, especially the last few hours before meeting. We do roll calls before meeting up so we know who to expect. Once we are out on the road, the group WILL be divided for many reasons such as traffic, speed, different routes so make sure you are ready for those things. If some people are really behind, the lead group will usually drive the speed limit, this should give you enough time to catch up. If you're not comfortable with driving too fast because of cops or some other reasons, stick to a slower group. There will always be speeders, cruisers and the ones who are both. Since we have a large crowd now, I think we should arrange the groups before we leave just to be on the safe side.

I'm glad someone's willing to put in the effort for a detailed OP, I usually start most of them but haven't had a lot of energy lately. Glad to see the dedication.

Another thing I've noticed is, since we tend to hit bump limit really fucking quickly once we get any sort of semblance of momentum in conversation, we tend to quickly forget good or interesting ideas that were posed in the previous thread because "out of sight, out of mind." Someone (and I'll try to do it too) should build the master list of previous threads and comb through them, because I know for a fact we've had at least half a dozen really good ideas that have just never been touched on again because a new thread was made shortly after.

Thanks m8, I want the links part to become a sticky for future threads. Generally I like that layout, it might have been you who started with "the news" which I thought was a great idea.
Also insomnia so can't sleep. Got a lot going in my mind right now, what new to add to /hou/, how to keep things organized, preventive maintenance costs on the SC, and ofc whatAmIDoingWithMyLife.flac. Which reminds me, I'm a fool to not setup the tripod in my passenger seat and record the run, maybe it would showed up real nice.. shit
Yeah sorry about, for this one I just wanted to make a nice layout just so we can stick to some standard for newer threads. It will make us look more organized and might even help some people if they can't find certain things in the thread.
That's a good idea of having a master list, it will take sometime though to go through them all. Losing the momentum of interesting conversations in the previous threads sometimes makes the new threads quite boring.

Pretty much in the same boat.
So much to accomplish, so many scattered thoughts.
I think one big thing that'll have to be addressed soon, if numbers keep increasing the way they do, is reconciling everyone's differing visions for the group. I think initially no one even believed we could build enough interest to even make a meet at all, but by the first meet we already had different ideas of where we wanted it to end up.
Of course you're always going to have your casual crowd that will see this as nothing more than a silly Veeky Forums meet that acts as a surrogate for more normie meets, and they're not much interested in any deeper activities, but I know there are a handful of participants who want a more serious and focused underground network for hype thrills, and I don't see the two coexisting well, especially if we have people complaining about not being able to keep up to 5,000 lb land barges at 90 mph.
Which is why I've always supported the proposal of split teams. One team for the people who just want to be the "lol so WAT" and just want to chillax, and a team for those who want to go maximum overdrive together, and of course having overlap where applicable.
I know no one wants to create division, but the bigger we get with no plan, the more likely we are to cultivate division naturally anyway, so may as well plan around it.
