| old BIG BROTHER/BIG SISTER SIGN UP (to be deleted soon...post to other thread, plz) | |

Several days ago, I suggested an idea _tenatively_ called "JA Big Brother/Big Sister." The idea is to help new students. This post is a location where you can sign up. If you need more info on this program, read below. In a separate thread I stated the following: "5. BETTER INTRODUCTION INTO JA FOR NEW STUDENTS. This is already being worked on, but I think it could be better. The new students are now being sent, with their acceptance letter, a hyperlink to the Holocron. Inside this thing is a tremendous amount of information that would be VERY useful to the newbie prior to getting on the forums and online. However, I have another idea. Why don't we have a sort of big brother/big sister program started? Each newbie could be assigned to an active, willing JA member for a couple days...at least to just get their feet wet. They don't have to remain hooked up forever...like I said, maybe just a few days. We could add a post where people could volunteer to do this, and the upper management could rotate the new peeps in among the volunteers. ALSO: we've been concerned about the number of new people coming into the JA. I don't think this will be a problem. The new game will bring 'em back in. And how. SO...I suggest we use this new BB/BS program as a recruiting tool. As a way to "calm pre-newbie fears" about joining JA. Meaning, some people (laugh if you must!) are too shy to try entering something like what we have here. If we put up on our site that we have this as our standard operating procedure, we may bring in more peeps that need hand-holding. Once they get in here, we rip 'em apart, but until then...JUST KIDDING!" Running list is below, will be added to as peeps volunteer: ***** Jedi Prodigy Kueller fiZZ Bubu Thomas Skywalker Darth Jell-O Darkwood MoS Jacen Aratan Katan Darth Maul Hardwired JediKnight13 SmilyKrazy Iceman cM@D_X Sared Flamori Ash SilkMonkey Daidalus Fate Silent-sniper MontyJAT Venum Axion Dicemaster/Wurfel Nastybasti ***** -rh _______________ Back from the dead...

What do you think we should call this new JA program?

I can't see another thread on this, so I'll post here. Sorry. :p I'll be a big bro. But I think we should be called Welcome Mats. I'd be Khalek[JAP-WM].

That will be in a little while. The whole idea is in it's infancy, so everyone please be patient. Mune will be taking over the "point-man" position on this project, as I am retiring due to the fact that I finally got a GIS job. Once I see that Mune has copy/pasted the above information into his own post, I will delete this one as an unnecessary duplicate. If any of you have any questions on this from now on, please direct them to Mune. I will, however, be staying on as a consultant...and be accessible via gisjedi@hotmail.com. -rh _______________ Back from the dead... |

S-sniper - Good idea, but we gotta wait to see how the upper management wants to deal with this. No need for them to sign up if they are going to get automatically assigned a BIG... Flamori, Dice - Right...JA as in, here. That's why I always use JK3 instead (gets too confusing). *laughs with Garos*... Well, I must as well. If they knew how things went around here, they wouldn't have anything to worry about... Kueller - Exactly. *smacks Nastybasti upside the head*... Big Brother/Big Sister translates into...BB/BS. We're gonna have to change the name of this thing, however. I don't want us getting in trouble with the REAL non-profit organization with this name. -rh _______________ Back from the dead... |

I think if it's JA run there will be more coverage. Sure, with the JASE we do a bit of this, but we can never get ALL the new members. That's why it's so good to have it run officially. _______________ Personal sleepness-nights-supporter of Virtue. Owner of the 1000th comment of Daidalus and 1943th comment of Gradius!

I understand that, but there was some grumbling and are some political issues still running around here concerning JASE. Although I understand and appreciate what it (we, I should say) is/are trying to do, I don't want this project to be undercut by other member's beliefs regarding JASE. Besides, I don't think it IS the same thing. I'm talking about a FAST and SHORT baptism of JA. It has to be an official part of this site, and intricately connected for it to work properly. That means, every new person coming in gets assigned to a BIG. I have some ideas about how to go about doing this, but I'm going to have to discuss it with the upper management. -rh _______________ Back from the dead...
