With google shutting down Google+ in the near future and the reality of players using other platforms for communications, now seems like a good time to shut down the Bozeman Enlightened Google+ page. I will wait a few days in case anyone wants to look around one last time or look up a member, etc. But short of a very compelling reason, I think its time to shut it down. Thank you to everyone that ever participated in this community. Sadly I feel by the time our local number of players had really picked up, Google+ was no longer the best tool for communicating. Still, it was nice having it in the early days and interesting to see how the history of game play in the Bozeman area evolved.
After much discussion and testing we are hoping to move state-wide communications to Slack and away from Hangouts. A single Slack Team will allow us to have channels for each area, a general channel, private group chats, and individual chats (direct messages). Owners and Admins do not have access to group chats unless invited, nor to direct messages between individuals. Slack also allows the team to be moderated and it does not have a limit of 100 people. The goal is to bring Montana together as a team for communication. It will not replace our communities but it will allow Montana to communicate more effectively as a team for local, State-wide, and National operations. Slack has proven very effective in Idaho and other areas. Please either post your email so we can add you or contact Robert Lafley, Jackson Cyr, Devon W, John Ewan, Frank Dougher, Jeremy Neff, or myself with your email address so we can add you.
Yeah, they just threw in some extra invites for me as well.
ReplyDeleteSame here. But so far my past invites/codes have not been used so I think I will be more protective this time.
ReplyDeleteYes, I just sent out muy first one and it doesn't acknowledge anything, like if I have typed it in correctly.
