Recruiting Challenge! - Prove the naysayer wrong... I have money bet on you guys.

[DanC]

I bet a friend that every member of TA could recruit just one new participant within the next week... and get that person to agree to recruit one new member within the next week who would agree to recruit just one member the next week. (you get the idea)
He said "BS" - they can't do it.

I said put your money where your mouth is.
There you have it. I have money riding on you guys - because I believe in you.

The Challenge - Just one new member. Can we do it?

Here's the poll results:

TA should just go on like it always has
6 (votes) 8.11 (%)
TA should get aggressive before it's too late
31 (votes) 41.89 (%)
We should do regular e-mailings to members
9 (votes) 12.16 (%)
We should NEVER e-mail anybody
2 (votes) 2.70 (%)
We should have a recruiting contest
6 (votes) 8.11 (%)
Anand should make a statement of support
20 (votes) 27.03 (%)

Since the overall majority vote for getting aggressive. Off we go. Aggressive is just one member, who gets one, who gets one. That's the only rules. Who thinks this is too tough to do?

Does assimilating school computers count?

 

[DanC]

EVERYTHING COUNTS!!!!

But - all you need to agree to is just one.

 

[BurntKooshie]

I reassimilated my roomies comp (he wanted to see me running it myself again....then let me put it on )

 

[Polo]

I assimilated a friend's PC (C600 24/7) but he connect to the net only 3 or 4 times per week.

Done !

 

[DanC]

Great Job Guys! - Now It's Sunday, a NEW Week!
Those Guys need to get just one.
and...

648 Other "Just one's" this week

DanC - does adding a new computer count or do we have to get a completely new member. I think that new members are better, they spread the word. Viral marketing works well.

[DanC]

New computers are good - but new computers do nothing but crack

The deal is... One new living breathing PERSON per week. - means we all must crawl out of our geek-dens and actually talk to real-live people.

Who's up to the challenge? - Just one person - that's all we ask.

 

[Michael]

I'll add at least one person this week.

Well, I am going to the Geology Dept. at the University of Ottawa on Wednesday with about 40 TA Cube floppies in my pocket, 20 for dialup and 20 for broadband (they are ready, clean formatted and I will copy them on Tuesday, no big deal because I have about 200 floppies doing nothing anyway). We'll see what comes out of it. I have also extended an ass laminating hand to some people in OT and they will answer me within a couple of days. It's hard to decide sometimes because I am often not sure if a particular person ain't already cracking for Team Anandtech and I definitely do not want to nag.

 

[DanC]

Right on Dennil!
Just one... FROM EVERYONE - That's all we ask...

 

[Orange Kid]

DanC;
Sounds like this would make a good movie.
If we could get 3 people and those 3 get 3 and so on we would assimilate the world. As long as no one runs into a DPC it could go on forever.

 

[DanC]

Orange - Sometimes we even get members from the Netherlands...

I'll do my best to get as many new members as possible!

 

[DanC]

Just one... per week

 

[ViRGE]

Talk to real people!? Noooo!!!!!!!!

 

[Russ]

Since I don't have any friends, can I just build another crack rack?

Russ, NCNE

 

[DanC]

Nope. One (of BORG) must also win friends and influence people. :Q

[edit] added (of Borg) for clarity.
