#1 Meets » First ever C4 meetup! » 2024-10-11 14:44:28

I don't have all of the logistics worked out yet but I think I will, tentatively, plan on our meetups being the first Saturday of the month and we'll start in December.  So that'll be Saturday December 7th, 2024.  Probably at noon. 

Why so far away?  Well since absolutely no one knows about this thing yet it'll take time to get the word out.

I am planning on utilizing a room in the downtown library.  That's the Cleveland Public Library at 325 Superior.  I can book a room that says it'll hold 30+ people although I doubt that many people will show up we're going to need space for computers smile

But I can't tell what these rooms look like as they don't include any photos on their web site so I'm going to have a make a trip down there and talk with someone and have them show me.  I want to make sure it's not in an area where we're expected to be quiet (we don't want librarians shushing us)

I'm not sure yet how long the meeting will last, I suppose I'll just book a good sized time slot and anyone can just leave whenever they want.  For that matter show up whenever you want too.  Don't feel like you have to be "on time" as long as it's during our room's time window that's fine.  Come at 1 and stay for 5 minutes, come at 12 and stay for the whole thing, it's all good.

I am open to ideas on what we should do, obviously there will be basic admin stuff such as getting us into the discord channel and this forum and maybe talk about the BBS for a bit.  But other than that I thought just keep it really informal and I expect we'll play some games and just generally chat about vintage tech.

If you think you want to attend please respond to this post and if you have any suggestions on what we might do or what you'd like to see then include that in your response.  Also if you want to bring something to show off, talk about, or if you have anything you want to sell, go ahead and include that in your response as well.

Welcome to the C4 Forums!

As you have probably already noticed registering an account on the forum is super simple, perhaps a little *too* simple, so simple in fact that one concern is that some unscrupulous spammer might try to inundate not only this forum but also our Discord channel with ads for ketamine or something (Hey I see it on Usenet all the time).

So, to that end, in order to get an invite link to the Discord channel (and possibly in the future other club resources) the link is hidden in a "Members Only" forum.  In order to access *that* forum your forum account will need to be promoted from "Newbie" to "Member".  The easiest way to do that is to show up at our next get-together, meet other like-minded individuals, play around with old computers, have a good time!

But most importantly pick up a card on which you will find a randomly generated code, then come back here and post in this (Introductions) forum and in your post include that code.  Just a simple post like this will work:
   
     "Hi, I'm Bob, I was at the last meeting, had a lot of fun!  Please make me a member, here is my code: ABCDEFG"

If you can't make it to a get-together or you lost the code or something then just post here anyway and just let us know you're a human (or a reasonably intelligent dog) but of the utmost importance definitely not a spam bot and you're likely to get Member access just simply by asking, after all if it turns out you actually are a spam bot we can always bump you back down to Newbie smile

It may be a good idea to add more sub-areas later on but for now I'm going to just keep it simple.

This area will be to post items you want to sell, are looking to buy, or will be giving away.

It's probably best to keep the actual exchanging to the meetups but I'll leave that up to you to decide.

This area will be used for discussion on the meetings.  For each meeting I will start a new topic and we can talk about the upcoming meeting by replying to that topic.  This can be used to discuss what we might do such as topics to talk about, who is going to bring what to show off or maybe sell, etc...
