*There was another thread for this, but I started a new one so people don't need to read through 8 pages to be caught up on the ideas we've come up with*We need to plan PogoTribe gatherings! There’s a wiki HERE[/size] where you can add yourself so we can figure out what would be the best places for gathering. Also, please fill out this survey and post your answers in a reply to this thread: 1.) When would you like the gathering to be? (Specific months, weeks, days of the week, etc.) 2.) How far are you willing to travel? 3.) What is the minimum number of people that must go in order for you to attend? 4.) How likely is it that you’ll be able to attend if conditions are suitable? (i.e. if you’re young, what are the chances that your parents will let you go? / Are you dedicated to the idea of a gathering, or is this just a “maybe if I feel like it,” thing? ) 5.) How long would you like the gathering to last? 6.) Do you support or oppose the idea of connecting online? If you support it, for how long should that last? 7.) Would you like to be on a committee to plan the gatherings? 8.) Any other comments/input. Ideas from the old thread: -Have the gatherings all at different times so people can attend more than one/so Dan can attend them all -Have gatherings all at the same time so we can connect online and it would be one huge gathering -Designate committees to plan each gathering -Asher isn’t invited The old thread can be located here to reference old ideas, but it is lockedAnd take a look at the wiki, because I redid to whole thing! Yay!

Have gatherings all at the same time so we can connect online and it would be one huge gathering I like that one, and I could go to one anywhere in Southern California, but I already put that on the wiki =P

Like you know, I really like the second idea. ^^ ALL connect online for about an hour - which also would mean that Dan could "attend" all gatherings - and for the rest of the day have fun IRL :3

fcktht, Asher is bombmaniac. He's a negative Nancy, so he's not invited to the gatherings. As I've said before, I think the first gatherings will be too small to connect online. I think it would be a distraction to a small gathering. Right now, NYC is the most viable option for a location, but there are still less than 10 people that could attend there. If there are 10 of us, I'd rather spend time focusing on getting to know those 9 other people than talking to people online, when I could do that any time. But I do realize that I'm outnumbered in my beliefs, so I do like Yokailo's idea of just doing it for an hour. I think that's a fair compromise.

I agree that you can talk to people online any time, plus we all spend too long sitting behind computers anyway.. but i think it's unlikely i'll ever get to go to a gathering so my vote doesn't really matter..
Anyway added to the wiki!

Chelsea, i really don't want to open a can of worms here, especially since i'm new here, but i have read through the other thread, and it seems the two of you just had a misunderstanding. apparently bombmaniac was under the impression that you were trying to plan a large event, and you didn't necessarily mean that. besides, it doesn't seem to fit into our tribal values to be exclusive...but i'm a noob, what would i know...

fcktht, he wasn't "under the impression that it would be a large event." He understood that my idea was a small event, and he deliberately insulted my idea. If you knew him as well as I am lucky enough to know him, you'd understand. But I was kidding about him not being invited. Anyway, let's stay on topic please? I made a new thread because the old one was full of off-topic replies that made the thread a lot longer than necessary. Basically, just add yourself to the wiki and post if you have any new ideas. We know that a lot of people support the old ideas, but we need not worry about HOW the gatherings will be run until we actually know whether or not we'll be able to have them at all.

I don't understand. Is this just a thread for "oh look, this would be fun, huh?" or are we actually trying to do this? I really don't see any progress :/

I'm really trying to do this. I'm kinda busy for now, but I'm going to really plan the details when I have time (which should be within the next few weeks). But for now, the most important step is getting people who are willing to attend gatherings. I have no control over how many people add themselves to the wiki :\

Alright, I can help if needed, but shouldn't we be deciding on what we're doing then? Are we doing the video camera thing? I'd love to see this get done =P

I think we can include it, but it shouldn't be the focus of the gatherings. Maybe we'll do it for an hour or two, like Yokailo suggested. But in order for the gatherings to even possible, we need people who will go. So there's no point in planning a gathering if there won't be people to attend them.

Well, the vlogvetica gathering a couple months ago started with tweets and a few videos, and the turn out was amazing. So if someone (like Dan) were to tweet about it, of course we would get people to come.

Good point, Zang. But even if Dan endorsed it, I don't think anyone who isn't already on the moon would show up. Dan isn't going to be at the gatherings, and they don't know us like we know each other, so his normal viewers really would have no reason to go.

My mother just gave me a thumbs sideways on Pogotribe gatherings. No promises, but she's not ruling it out. This counts for my sister (CMC413) and I.

I'll turn that into a thumbs up tonight Also, I don't think getting random people to show up through Dan's tweets is a great idea. We all know each other pretty well. Random people who have no idea who we are would just make the gathering very awkward.

If it's just us, we can talk in skype anytime we want Meeting irl and talking on Skype are completely different... Think about the other people that you watch on YT... If Shay Carl or MeekaKitty or RhettandLink, (or anyone else that you watch.. I was just giving examples >_<) were to say, "You should go this gathering! I'm not going to be there, but other people that watch me will be," would you go? I wouldn't... I'm not looking to hang out with people to talk about YouTube, and that's all you'd have in common with those people. But I've gotten to know YOU guys because of SPOTM, and that why I wanna meet you. Yeah, we all like YouTube, but that's not the only thing that we have in common.

Yes, there is a difference, but I'd still rather just chat on skype >.<
EDIT: Depending on the day, I would probably go to that
EDIT EDIT: If, you know, it was close =P
