Amy Has 140 Emails!!!!! Thank You AO!!!

[AGD]

To the Steamroller That is AO,

You have once again come through in a big way! After working late last night I just woke up to find 140 emails in her inbox, nice job!!

The pen (or the email in this case) wields a lot of power. Not only is Amy coming, you have impressed her with the number of people we have here and the quality of your requests. Not one was rude or impolite.

Let's imagine a conversation between her and her teamates during practice.

Amy: After practice I am going to and internet party tonight.

TM: What's an "internet party"?

Amy: A bunch of guys are geting together in the Airgun Designs forum and chat room.

TM: You are going to kill your saturday night for a few drooling teenagers in a chat room?

Amy: There are going to be way more than a few and many of them are fathers, college students and professionals.

TM: How do you know that?

Amy: Because 150 of them emailed asking me to come and be the featured guest. They told me who they were and were very nice about it. They are giving away signed photos of me from Aruba!

TM: (jealous look) 150?? Well NEXT time remember your part of a TEAM here!!

TM: Hey everyone you should hear about the Airgun Internet Party tonight!


This is the way the word spreads. If you can email on request like this there is almost no limit to what I can bring to the forum. If I was talking to Renick Miller about doing the SFL Emag and he was shaky because he didn't think there were many people interested, 150 emails would certainly change his mind in a flash.

Good job AO I am proud of you!!

Ha hah, you have too much spare time Tom.

I fit into the drooling teenager persona anyways :)

[Jonno06]

[OldSchoolMag]

Yeah, drooling teenagers demographic! Whooo!

Hey, you forgot the elves!

Now I have to be the wet blanket again…. LOL 150 e-mails from folks willing to chat with some Model in a chat room and forum is a FAR cry from 150 Confirmed orders for a $1400+ Marker. ;)

I understand your idea about the power of mass requests, but you just compared apples to oranges… sure they are both fruits, but you can’t make apple pie with oranges. :D And as was mentioned before here on AO, “interest” alone does not cut it, and e-mailing “interest” about an item but then not intending on actually buying it can cause more problems than good. The credibility of requests coming from AO would suddenly become more worthless than Enron Stock.

Again, interest in a party, and interest in a product are two different things. I would hate to see a fiasco happen because they were treated as if they were the same.

Good job on the “Date” though. :D:D:D I am sure this will be a blast, as usual.

Please keep in mind that yesterday and today have been unusually slow days for AO.

Drooling teenager....I don't think that is enough to describe me.http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s2/contrib/scorchio/sawink.gif

[Rahman]

Did her teammate just call me a drooling teenager??:rolleyes:
Anyways ,now lets discuss this whole e-mag situation..
:D

[polorboy]

So what type of E-Mag are you going to be giving away???:D ;). It's cool that Amy is going to show up. When is the party going to be? Hopefully it will be on a friday night that way I will not have to worry about going to class the next day (not early anyway, I have a saturday class at 9:00am). Lets us know what happens next.

[MikeCouves]

Free Warps? Yay! Lol yeah when is it going to be? Sounds like this could be really fun. Wha's the contest I haven't been around in a while.

[deded]

I miss AO for one day and all this cool stuff happens... lol!

We should get !Everyone! to go to the party... an AO extravaganza!!!
