As we all know this forum went offline for a couple of days recently. It has gone down before but returned rather quickly. At first it seemed fine but as it started growing toward the 3 day mark and given the verbage of the error message I was concerned that the board may be kaput. I decided that if it wasn't back up Wednesday morning I would try to contact some of the folks going to Ocala in October just to keep in touch. Little did I know something very cool was about to start happening.

I was just getting off shift when I noticed I had a text on my phone from another board member, "what's wrong with FLS? It's been down for a while."  Like the mushroom I am I didn't know anything but told him I was planning on contacting a couple of the other members in the morning. That's when "operation keep in touch"  kicked off in a very interesting way. We briefly discussed who we already tried to contact and went different directions on our contact lists as well as some of the people we could get a hold of doing the same creating a domino effect. I don't know if this effect had something to do with it or it was by pure chance but FLS was back up within a couple of hours.

Regardless of the circumstances of those actions it was pretty interesting seeing folks communicating about a minor issue asking questions, making contacts, and spreading info concerning the situation. I'm sure everyone involved would agree that in a real situation just that little bit of interaction could be huge let alone if the site were to disappear  all together again at least we could discuss other options on communicating with eachother.

I know it's been done before but it would good to revisit a contact list again. Maybe update existing ones. What do you guys think?

Amen to that brother! I'm fortunate the "group" we plan with is very local here in KY, so our communication is phone and face to face a lot but I couldn't agree more. An updated phone tree even for a little problem is a good thing to get going and keep.

Even though I'm not in FL anymore, I am willing to help if you guys need it.

Are added

I'll only send this out once in a while... I guess that's why it kind of fell off... You have to remember, there is edit, save as PDF and then email it out... How many people want to get an email today and then another in 2 days to replace the file... Tedious. So..... I'll send this out later tonight... Save it somewhere you will remember, and then when you get an updated one, replace this one.
Anyone wishing to have their info added, make it known or forever hold your till after the next time...
