Perhaps I am off on this, but it seems like all that is being asked for (and all that is needed) is some general email etiquette. On the IceHouse list it was requested that anyone wishing to discuss a particular game place the name of the game in brackets in the subject line. ( RE: [IceTowers] or [New Game: Ice Martian] etc. ) This seems to be still working out well over there, and I think that is all that is needed here. If you want to discuss a particular event, just include the name and location in the subject line as [Event Name - City, State/Country]. Such as: [Origins 2006 - Columbus, Ohio], or [Skirmishes demo - Charlotte, NC], or [Conception - Bournemouth, UK] Other info such as date, time, and specific location can be included in the email text, but the general area should be right there in the Subject line to help people determine if it is something they would even have a chance to get to. - Dan > -----Original Message----- > From: rabbits-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:rabbits-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Scott Sulzer > Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 11:21 PM > To: 'Rabbits Discussion List' > Subject: RE: [Rabbits] A General Request > > > General problems with that include abuse by non-retailers(i.e. random > web surfers), making it too complicated so that retailers don't bother > to use it, and getting the information out about the page. > > A good compromise might be to have a page which allows requests to be > submitted, this can be a form which will make sure that you fill out the > proper fields, (i.e. state, address, games to be demoed, store name, > etc...) and can generate the e-mail on it's own.
