Operation: RDF Lifeboat rescue

#1  Postby dylan » Mar 02, 2010 10:14 pm

This is a quick easy way to get as many as possible to hear about this place who used to frequent RDF.

First go to the RDF forum, log in and click members. Then click on "Posts" twice so the list is sorted by number of posts starting highest going to lowest. Since the forum is down the list shouldn't change much. Going down the list click on the user and send them a pm. In the pm write a quick message informing them of this website. (I created a message and copied it to my clipboard and pasted it over and over to each person). If lots of people do this we should be able to get through a vast majority of the big posters. I'm curious how many we can do.
I've already done page "1". Using the copy and paste I managed to finish the first page in about 10 min. If you are going to do the next page make sure to post here FIRST so two people don't do same page at once. So this thread will help keep track of what page we are on for people to contact. If you want to help just post here the next page that you are going to do. If you run out of room I'm sure registering again using a different email would work as well. Good luck. Let the rescue operation begin.

"1" done "2 up in the air"

Yup, this way is MUCH faster and will get everyone...and it's easier to tell who did what already.
For what it's worth my message was:

Just making sure you heard of:
www.rationalskepticism.org
A lot of ex-RDF forum users went there when this place shut down.
I hope to see you there.

You post the next page here. So just say "3" here, then get to work. The next person would do "4"
(By listing the page we are doing before we do it we ensure no duplication of effort. It would be easy to see here if two people said the same page as the forum would have you look at the thread if something changed while you were typing)

ok, maybe my instructions sucked but if you post BEFORE you do the work no one will do it at the same time

Hmmmm. I've been wondering that too. Haven't noticed anything yet. I imagine the size of your out folder and inbox limits spam. We are not spamming though. Just writing to all our friends!! :plot:
