Talk:The Great Suburb Group Massacre/2013/Volunteer Organization

There is also an active survivor group in West Grayside called The Stormknights.

Kyle Matrix is the guy that posts their stuff in the Wiki.

The Stormknights are not listed in the West Grayside group listing at the right of the page, which is why they aren't listed here. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 23:36, 14 October 2013 (BST)

Alphabetical divisions

For sanity's sake, can we divide the huge list of "uncontacted" and "waiting for reply" groups into subsections by letter? A-E, F- L, etc. -- ^{FoD PK Praise Rando!}08:59, 24 October 2013 (BST)

Also, what's our procedure for the non-group pages listed?-- ^{FoD PK Praise Rando!}09:01, 24 October 2013 (BST)

Yes, I think we can (I agree, they're unwieldy). As for non-groups...well, there aren't many of them, so one approach would be to go in-game and broadcast on those frequencies, asking for someone to respond if the frequencies are still in use for their designated purpose. If we get no reply back within a month or the responses we get indicate that they aren't being used for that purpose, we go ahead and mark them as available again. Unfortunately, that'll require that someone keeps their radio tuned to those frequencies so that they can hear the response (and they'll need to do so for the whole month, since the first response they get back could be from a random yahoo), so we'll be limited in how many frequencies we can contact at any given time. —Aichon— 16:25, 24 October 2013 (BST)

Alphabetizating done. Also, think we can put up a friendly reminder to check your talk page or something on the wiki news box? -- ^{FoD PK Praise Rando!} 10:21, 25 October 2013 (BST)

The Dead 2: Electric Boogaloo

Are we going to put up with this? I know we're supposed to let groups list their own areas of activity, but we all know they aren't active in all those places. --VVV ^RPMBG 08:37, 25 October 2013 (BST)

I'd say the fair thing to do would be remove 'em all (except Dunnell Hills) and let them add back what they want, but I'm not kicking that bees' nest. -- ^{FoD PK Praise Rando!}09:51, 25 October 2013 (BST)

To Arbies! Penny Wise 14:54, 25 October 2013 (BST)

I actually addressed this exact issue back when the 2012 GSGM was proposed and I suggested we delay it another year:

The GSGM happens when the wiki needs it, not because it's a new year, and if you want to cite the Goons as being a reason to do it now, stop, because that's not a valid reason. There's nothing stopping anyone here from doing regular maintenance and cleaning up a group that is clearly putting their name in suburbs where they aren't. Many of us used to do so regularly, and you don't need a GSGM to handle that, nor should you wait for one.

Said by Aichon at "No, it is (probably) not time" on the GSGM 2012 Talk page

For now, let it be. We don't need to get embroiled in drama while the GSGM is going on, since that'll just slow things down unnecessarily. After GSGM, we can work on it as a separate issue. I'm guessing we'll simply remove them and let them re-add themselves, as per what Whig said, but we can talk about it later. —Aichon— 16:32, 25 October 2013 (BST)
