Hi loyal members,
I just sent out my first ever mass-email. When you see it, Dont Panic!!
I'm just trying to reach out to those members who are no longer active and see if they want to cancel their membership to the group, or continue to party with us....

Here's the email:
Hi Everyone!
Its your humble moderator!
I decided to send my first ever mass-mail....

I'm just checking pulses out there.
Are you all still with me?

This message is more for the quiet members..... the old timers who have been sitting on the sidelines of the group, just watching all the fun pass 'em by.

If you are no longer interested in remaining a member, please help me out by cancelling your membership. I try to go through once a month and purge out the inactive profiles, but as the group gets larger and larger it is just too difficult and time consuming for me.

Please dont fret -- If you love the group, and want to remain a member you dont have to do anything! Again, this is just a heads up to anyone who joined way back when and is no longer interested in remaining a member. Sometimes we stop participating in a group but forget to cancel the membership to it...

If you have any questions, please email me. I'll be more than happy to answer ya!

Happy posting everyone :)


Again, please dont freak out! Im just trying to clean us up a bit.....
If you wanna stick around, you dont have to do anything! Im not deleting people...
:)

Kate (kathrynlouwca) I don't know if this got out to everyone, because I didn't get it... I don't know if I am the only one out there that didn't get it...

Lori (tnbbc) | 10620 comments Mod
uh oh... it appears the email is hitting everyone three times. Please DONT PANIC... its a system glitch!!

I swear!

And Im not deleting anyone, so please DONT PANIC!!!




message 4: by [deleted user] (new)

I didn't get it either. Maybe that is why some people are getting it 3 times. hehe


Abigail (42stitches) | 360 comments I just got it. Both as an email update and from my GR inbox. I wish I could post more! But my net's been fuzzy lately.


message 6: by Kate (new)

Kate (kathrynlouwca) Hmm, I didn't get it in my GR inbox, or my email... I don't know... That is weird


message 7: by Lori, Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 10620 comments Mod
weird is right. I just hit Broadcase Message to All Members and it did its own thing....
Give it some time.. maybe it is still coming down the pipeline???


message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha you're whole DON'T PANIC, DON'T PANIC reminds me of the movie Grease... when the principal lady was on the loud speaker telling everyone to please don't panic. Anyways...


message 9: by Lori, Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 10620 comments Mod
Well, the reason I did that is because everyone suddenly started sending me messages back "Please dont delete me"... "I promise to post more"....

That wasnt the point of the email.. hee hee


message 10: by [deleted user] (new)

:) Maybe they should post more.... jk


message 11: by Lori, Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 10620 comments Mod
Could you imagine :)
This place would be crazy......


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

Haha yeah. It's already hard to keep up with everyone.


message 13: by Kandice (new)

Kandice I thought DON'T PANIC was an homage to Hitchhiker's. It was, right? If not, I want to think so!


message 14: by Lori, Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 10620 comments Mod
Well... yeah... ok... sort of....

onmerryday I have to admit I haven't come here for quite some time.
I got quite panicky to got this email (actually 3 mails!) I don't want to lose
my membership here. This group is a great place to talk about books. I have to remind myself to come often and post more!

Thanks! Happy reading everyone!

Don't forget to check your junk mail folder on your server... Lori's mails may be parked there.

I didn't receive any mails either, and they are not in the server's junk file... oh, well, it was a thought.

I guess you missed the whole flap over dropping gay and lesbian, as well as certain erotic literature, from their search lists.

They blamed it on a glitch in the system.

message 36: by Beth F (new)

Beth F | 342 comments Hm, I didn't the email and neither did my spam folder. There is nothing in my GR inbox either. Strange...so apparently one of the people who got multiple copies received my notification as well. :P
