I chatted but no one listened. It's just like at home.
a) members only. good idea. Those are both very popular areas. How about the
"Member stats"?
b & c) Having a members only page would be a good idea and easy to do but how
would it get updated and by whom? Maybe SLAGA members need a different maillist
for the current one.
e) Email would be good and it could be forwarded to an existing user email so
they wouldn't need to setup another account in their email program.

Subject: [GeoStL] chat room.. and value added services
- I) a long time ago i set up a chat room. for the most part, nobody came to
chat so i removed the links.
the ability to have a basic chat room is included with our new web server
stuff but it was never implemented
If anyone is interested in such a thing, i placed a link to the chat area on
THE LOCAL NEWS. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=4595
enter any nickname and press enter. It is a very basic chat room but it
works. If this a popular sort of thing, maybe we can investigate re
implementing a fancy system.
You will need to announce that you want to hang out in the chat room so folks
would know to go there. it might be fun.
a while back, i set up 2 computers to do voice chat using AOL's Instant
Messaging service. that was kind of fun too.
-------------------
II) a few days ago a geocacher mentioned that there were really no benefits
to "belonging to" SLAGA. They could check the website, and keep up on news
without belonging so why bother. Hmm, good thought. I would like to develop
some info that would make it worthwhile to join. Any thoughts?
Some thoughts.....
a) I would like to make the "recent logs, new and archive caches" a "members
only" item. Thats Easy to do.
b) Yesterday I announced two new caches on the mail list here. As a members
benefit, I will give the SLAGA members here a few days to find them before i
open them up to the rest of the geocachers in st. louis..
c) we could have a handful of SLAGA ONLY caches that are only posted in a
members only area of our website.
d) We could offer a special YOURNAME@xxxxxxxxxx email that might be
something.
we already have group hikes and get togethers.
anything else that would add value to a SLAGA membership?
membership cards with decoder rings!!
(i once had a purply car too!)
got to run and get a few things done today....
