Meet-N-Greet: How Often?

I was thinking about decreasing the frequency of the Meet-N-Greet so as to maybe make it more of a big deal, and worthwhile showing up to. Anyone think this is a bad or stupid idea? If not, how often? I was thinking once every 3 months or so.

Okay well, I messed up the pole, so if you have a different answer, just make it known.

The only problem I see with every 2 or 3 months is, if you miss one, you have to wait a long time for the next one. But on the other side, it might entice more to attend because one would have to wait so long for the next one.

We could always try it and see how it works.

Well another one of my reasons for making less frequent would be so you can plan to be there. Not that I don't think once a month, every month is enough but hey, whatever.

I like the idea of having it every mounth. If i do miss one i dont want to have to wait another 2 mounths for the next one.

I don't think you realize how often people "miss" these meet-n-greets. Lots of people RSVP "yes" and never show up for whatever reason, but why RSVP "yes" then? How hard is it to know whether you are going to be there or not? Don't know till the last minute? Just don't RSVP till the last minute, or don't RSVP at all, and just show up anyways. Sorry, it is just a pet peeve of mine.

But anyways, maybe if it less frequent people will be more motivated to actually show up. Every month, everyone says they'll make the next one, and it gets old fast.

I hate it when a new person shows up and it is just me and/or Dokk, especially when these people live a good ways away and bother to come unlike everyone else. It's pretty gimp if you ask me.

Another reason for making it less often would be because a lot of the people on here have already met each other, and more time gives everyone to have more stories, pictures, and what not to swap.

Honestly at the rate things are going, I was thinking of putting the event on hiatus, and pulling it out once a year or something.

I think that it would be safe to say that every two months would be plenty. That gives people time to plan and stuff. I think it would also be worthwhile to make a camping trip or something like once a year for Texas explorers to go to.

Im thinking I may author a short story here about my very first UTEX experience!

Its too bad there is no real interest in doing a "real event" in Texas.

For now, I have decided to go ahead scheduled the Meet-N-Greets for once every 3 months. December 16 2006, is when the meet-n-greet will occur next. Same time, same place as always

I realize there is a tie between every month and every 3 months, but from what I gathered, all the people who said they wanted it once a month (so in case they miss one, they don't have to wait) are the ones who never show up. So anyways, now you have plenty of time to make plans in advance, and an incentive to actually go.
See you guys next time.

I think some basic members believe they will be granted full member status by showing up for these.
