| | | Posted by goat Not trying to bash, but doesn't this section of the forums meet the criteria of what you're looking for? A place for northeastern explorers of the area to talk and stuff? Personally, I agree with Essex. Sifting through 20+ messages of a group chat is just something I'm not into, whatsoever. I do not have the patience for that. Assuming that you want the constant, super-live feed of sending texts to each others' phones, I would go with Pack's suggestion of a private Facebook group. That way those involved will get immediate alerts on activity in the group (ie: notification pop-ups on their phone....we all have smartphones, right?) and won't have to go through the same monotonous chore of scrolling through a group message. Another thing to consider is not everyone likes just giving out their phone numbers. Well, at least I don't. Look into other options is my opinion, it could be a good idea if approached correctly.
| Every time someone posts a thread on meeting up, nobody replies - or on the off chance of a reply, nobody goes. I would love to meet up with other explorers, and UER.CA doesn't seem very conducive to that end so far... They always say exploring alone is a bad idea.. but so far I've done 3 explores on my own since moving to NYC since idk anybody out here. Also, if we do make a chat - it should be by invite only. I wouldn't want to publicly post the times and places I'll be going somewhere on UER, in case the wrong eyes fall on them...

On the bleeding edge of cocking things up.

Clique-y because of shared (exploring) experience, I think. Though, that has not stopped me from exploring with people outside a particular group. ... and this. I have met a ton of people and some have become great friends that I've had for years and years now, all because of UER. | I can say from experience this is certainly true. Hat-wearing fish wroth: Although it's designed more for business communications, I was considering Slack as an option: https://slack.com/ Regardless, although I no longer live in the Northeast, I'd be interested in being part of any sort of group for that region. | I've no idea if Slack would work out, but I'm totally on board if you want to give it a go. I've only very recently learned of Slack. Reminds me of Confluence but with better sharing and team-in-team features. I like that its x-platform. Is it SaaS? While I don't live there, I'm always looking for info on new sites in the region. UER defines "Northeast" stopping an the CA/US border, it really does not.

| Slack doesn't work via SMS, I don't think. And its only annoying if you are constantly pulling out your phone to check updates. If you don't want to receive updates, then you can probably turn alerting off.
