Hi isk,

If at all possible, I would prefer each person that wants to attend to reply themselves.

This is because of some recent problems we have encountered in the past. This includes one club not showing up or notifying me that they would not be showing up. I take the blame for this for not controlling the sign-up list. So as of this week I have implemented a new policy, and created a new forum for people to sign-up, here on Meguiar's Online if they want to attend a Saturday Detailing Class.

Another reason for the new policy is my son was in an accident about a month ago on a Friday night, I needed to leave the house and stay with him at the hospital through the weekend.

Update on Rand (http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2478)

Before the Ambulance left for Loma Linda Hospital, I had about 20 minutes to try to quickly contact everyone scheduled to attend the class the next morning and I'm sorry to say, that because we didn't have control of the sign-up list, I was not successful in contacting everyone.

By having everyone that would like to attend one of our Saturday detailing classes, reply to a sign-up thread here on MOL, I can e-mail everyone in case something ever comes up and we have to cancel the class.

So if at all possible, I would prefer each person that wants to attend to reply themselves to the appropriate sign-up forum. The exception would be for husband & wife teams. This way if the class has to be canceled, (like one did earlier this year), I can e-mail everyone to notify them ahead of time.

The other reason is this, I personally appreciate someone that is willing to sign-up for a class on our forum. To me that means they are indeed serious and interested in our class. During the class, I give 100% the entire class and do everything in my power to help everyone to the fullest of my ability. We supply coffee, pastries, pizza, cold drinks, goodie bags and hands-on training during the class, all we ask for in return is a for members to sign-up here on MOL, and at the end of the class, fill out a feedback form.

The one exception for not signing-up for a class would be for people that are not online, (which is pretty slim now days). Just last week, my own dad finally broke down and bought a desktop computer system and is now online. (Way to go Dad! :bigups )

So I know it's a little bit of a hassle for some people, (but not a big hassle if a person is familiar with discussion forum software like vbulletin, which appears to me to be the most popular and widely used for automotive websites).

Perhaps someone could post the link to this thread to the sign-up list on the IS300.net forum and everyone there that is signed up, and is still interested and planning on attending the class, will of course be given first priority.

Thanks for understanding! :xyxthumbs :xyxthumbs :xyxthumbs

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the response, and I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your son! :(

It makes sense to have the sign up under your control, and its very easy to sign up on this message board, so nobody should have any problem with that.

My original comment was regarding the sign up list and waiting list on is300.net. I didn't want want to see the one of the first 30 people who signed up on the original list get squeezed out of the event because they didn't see this list. But you said they would have priority, so it looks like you already took that into consideration! :xyxthumbs

Thanks again for hosting is300.net, and I look forward to attending this class!

As a man that has stood his fair share of time in waiting lines, I value a persons place in any line be it the DMV, or the Cyber-Line on the Internet.

Although Im not on the .NET list..maybe I could get some authorization to sign in on the list now. If not thats ok too. =)

Hi Mario,

Welcome to Meguiar's Online! :welcome

I'll add your name to the list!

The only list I can really go by is the one on our forum. A few weeks ago I had 48 people signed-up for a class on another forum and only 2 people showed up. So by joining here, and replying to this thread, you have demonstrated a good faith effort on your part to show that you are serious and will plan on attending. Meguiar's and I appreciate that.

We'll see you here tomorrow morning!

Hey people,
I know it is late, (13.5 hours left, (and I hope it's not too late)), I would like to sign up for this event as well. I was never on the IS300.NET sign up sheet because I wasn't to be in Cali at this time, but my trip was cancelled. So I will definitely be there tomorrow.

I have notice other IS300.NET canceling on this event and that not all people on the IS300.NET list, (or stand by list), are listed here on the Meguiars sign-up list. :confused: :wall:

I don't like jacking peoples spot in line for this class, but I'm signing up as requested by the host of the meet. So sign me up. (please understand that I waited til the last to give everyone the oppertunity to sign up...:bow so forgive me if I'm stepping on toes).

Hi SasquatchIS,

Welcome to Meguiar's Online! :welcome

I'll add your name to the list! The sign-up thread idea is new for our classes but after a couple of incidents, (My son's accident and a no-show by about 46 people), I decided I had to take control of coordinating the sign-up lists.

As time goes by, everything should smooth out...

See you tomorrow!

Mike
