Master do/event thread on AFF?

[thewinchester]

As there's quite a few events on from time to time, I'd like to float the idea of a master thread being started in Meetings and Social Events to provide an up-to-date single index of these?

I envision this being along the lines of the FlyerTalk The Consolidated Do-List Thread (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/communitybuzz/1015875-consolidated-do-list-thread.html) which people can use to check for latest events.

I'd be happy to keep this thread up to date, and also maintain an associated Google Calendar or other openly accessed calendar if people wished to have a feed of events displayed in their supported personal information manager of choice.

What does everyone think of this as an idea, and what's the appropriate way to go about this & get admin's approval?

Sounds like a good idea.

Send a PM to admin for his thoughts.

Trouble is admin would need to give you appropriate permissions for the thread and I’m not sure he can per thread? Otherwise a mod would have to take charge. Do they want extra work?

I think mods for certain areas would be useful, just not sure we’re big enough yet, or if admin wants to go down this path

Yeah I have to agree here. The Meetings and Social Events main forum has a few at the bottom of current events. There's definitely not dozens at any one time so it's pretty easy to have a glance to see what's going on where (considering everyone there puts the location/type of meet in the thread title).

I'd say we're pretty good as it is, but that's just my 2.2c
