I was thinking of doing something to celebrate the 40th Anniversary, such as a virtual get together with fans of the show that visit this forum. My thought was to use ZOOM or something similar, and fans could join with video and audio, or just audio and there is a chat function too. March 18th is on a Thursday this year, so I'm assuming it would probably work best to choose maybe Saturday the 20th as everyone I'm sure does NOT take that week of March off as I do to celebrate the series.

Do you really take the week off to celebrate? Do you watch the series from start to finish?
I'm good with an event. A Thursday night is possible for me, but I think a Saturday would allow more people to be involved and it could be longer too.

LOL...yes I do take the week of March 18th off every year. Well...I used to just take the day off, but a few years ago I started taking the entire week off. I do try to watch the entire run of the series from start to finish, but sometimes I start with The Hit Car, and save the pilot for the 18th.
I might do something on Thursday anyway, but have Saturday too so more can join if they want to.

If I do decide to go forward with a virtual get together, forum members will need to PM me with a valid email they wish to have the event link sent to. I will not be posting it on the board for anyone to read.

I thought about that, I know by signing up to the forum one must provide their email but it sorta feels like spamming to me and I hate to do that. I will probably let the poll and this thread go a few more days, and if there's no more interest I'll just scratch the whole idea. If virtual meetings would have been a thing 10 years ago, there would have probably been more interest as the board had a lot more activity then.

I know I was absent for a few years, but I worked my back around. I have to say though, that sometimes it's nice to get a reminder. And since you don't abuse it, I think an anniversary type special would be one of the few times that people would not find it spamming. It's your call, but I think it would be fine. |

Perhaps, if you email all, it will remind them that the forum is here, and there is the possibility that traffic will pick up on the forum again after the anniversary 🤷♀️ |

Why should she get a gold star when I recommended it?  Damn Wizard spells not working right again. |

I just noticed this thread today! That happens to me on boards that have a lot of sub-boards. Anyway, if you have an event, I'll try to make it.
Did folks know that William Katt's 70th birthday was Feb. 16? If that doesn't make you feel old, I don't know what would. I sure do anyhow... but then I think I'm older than most of you young whippersnappers.

Yes, I was aware Katt's birthday was 16th, and if I would have forgotten the 2 dozen Google Alerts I was sent would have reminded me.  Does make me feel a bit old, as I'm past Culp's age from when he started playing Maxwell.  |

I see the GAH anniversary is the same day Zack Snyder's Justice League premieres on HBO Max. Just an amusing coincidence considering the show's history with DC.
