Most of you may not know but yob_yeknom has stepped down and left the club to me. I would personally love to make changes and really take this club off the ground but I am going to need help from all of the members. To begin I really need to know who is still around so if all members could reply to this thread ONCE that would be really helpful. I also ask any remaining coordinators to please email me at cowboyz1659@hotmail.com and let me know how things are going. If I do not receive an email from a coordinator than I will assume they are no longer part of the club and someone else will get the role. Thank you all for your help.

I'm still around :burnout:

Still want to be the coordinator of the PA section?

i'm here

I guess I can be considered one!

I checked a while ago and remember the webpage was down forever- is it up and running or are you running it out of here?

Why the secrecy? What can a potential member hope to receive from joining ECX? What is a sample of these "BIG" changes that are about to occur?

was looking to join, let me know if yall are really going to try to get this club moving.

is Pennex still alive Jeff?

I'm still here

i'd like to get in if there is someone in NJ i down in the pines and i dont see anyone really but i guess skier17 is down here somewhere 2

I really want to turn this club around and actually take it off the ground. I would love to have planned meets and such but participation was always a factor. I want to weed out those who don't care too much about it and get this thing going. We NEED a website along with a webmaster to run it along with new coordinators for the PA chapter and the southern chapter that Jon used to run. Now to address what one can get out of this club. A member will be part of a community of other Explorer enthusiasts who are willing to help each other whenever needed. This could range from the answer to a simple question to helping lower/lift one's vehicle. This will help us be able to stand out from the crowd and prove that Explorers aren't just for soccer moms.

**I would also like to ask all who wish to be members to post on the Prospective Members post in this same forum**

I think the PA chapter is the only one still up on the net, it is run off of my site: ###############.com

I'm still here and have paid my dues :)

is Pennex still alive Jeff?

Karol

Eh, it's barely twitching...I tried getting people together several times, and got squat for responses, so I haven't done much with it. As Chris said, the website's still there, but that's about it. I'm willing to help out with the club & website, but I just don't have the time to run it right now.

Hopefully having everyone still interested reply to this will narrow this down to a club that the members actually participate in things. More runs like the first two would be great. (14 Explorers at each)

I'm planning on moving at the end of the summer, so it's best to take care changes now instead of then. I won't be able to be a member then and am saving all of my money for the move so I guess this is the end of my membership. It was fun while it lasted. Good luck with the future of the club.

With the interest to increase participation and to improve the club overall, Lizard and I have been talking about a merge between Extreme Explorers and ECX. This would clear up a lot of problems that ECX has been having. Lizard has a website (an excellent one at that), a separate forum, and a decal machine to ease the process of getting decals to members. This is still in the beginning stages and a lot has to be worked out. Also the club name will probably change but not drastically. Please post any questions here and we will try to answer them as best as possible.

im still here once in a while

hey name doesent matter, just the fact of haveing a bud or two to go 4xing with. im new to the pa area and dont know that many people let alone people who want to wheel. I say merge. lets get this thing going and have some fun..

By the way if any are in the allentown area and are handy with a wrench i could use help finishing my rig.. i pay in beer and food....

Gary

As Ryan said, we are proposing a merge here, 2 clubs in basiclly the same area and with the same goals in mind, why not just merge and create a huge club. If everything is agreed upon by Ryan and myself, the merge should be relitively quick, new website, new logo, and new name, now as for the name, the name XtremECX was brought up, that would also be the domain name for the website. We would also be looking for a new logo, any ideas would be appreciated. Maybe get membership cards as well. There will be a membership page listed soon for new and current members to complete so all your information can be organized. If anyone has any suggestions, or comments feel free to dtop a post here.


Gary, Im about 45 min north of allentown, we go out wheelin all the time and your welcome to join us.

I'm still in as long as I end up keeping my X. I should know in the next month or so when it's all settled.

lizard.. i have already paid and got ECX stickers and have them on my explorer.... i dont want to have to pay for new decals.... could you have new decals for free for returning members ....

I say we just keep 2 seperate clubs with the same goals in mind to save from doing new decals.. i also dont like all the X's in the new names....Just keep ecx since were all on the east coast anyway

Matt, the stickers arent a big deal... certainly not big enough to hold back the forming of a huge explorer club, as most of the people in my club know, I usually give out club decals at runs for free, and even if they were paid for, remember I make the decals, and certainly dont wish to make any profit on club members so the cost would be very low, being that I dont have to go through a 3rd party. As for the 'X's' in the new name, that is not decided to be the new name as of yet, it is still under discussion, if you have another name in mind please share.

I like the idea of these two clubs merging. saves me the trouble of joining both... considering mostly everyone is probably in both clubs anyways.

ill keep an eye in here and whenever you guys get everything straightened out with a website and application page ill be there.

I'm still here and still in both, like I always have been despite some problems last year.

I agree on a merge, but I happen to prefer "###############" if only because it's shorter, easier to say, sounds more dynamic and takes up less space on my trucks' windows than that huge EcX decal :rolleyes: And despite what lizardtrac says about getting vinyl cheap, it DOES cost him $$ to make the damn things, so $2-3 per decal seems reasonable to me. It's up to him if he wants to continue to pay for the site out of his own pocket or charge a small "Club fee" for upkeep.

There are clubs on the west coast, texas, the north central region (indianapolis, ohio, etc), florida, and the southeast U.S.A already, I suggest anyone living in those areas join the club closest to them, since all the runs I've ever been to up here (and i've been to almost every one, so I'm not talking out of my butt) were for peeps hailing from PA, NJ, MD, DE, MA, CN, VT, NH, and NY. Most of us just live too far from George Washington forest in VA and Tellico in TN to visit there for runs, and besides John no one has ever braved a trip all the way up here. That section of EcX should merge with ScX, in my humble opinion.

I agree with spas on the name thing. ############### just sounds cool and if you say that to someone they would have a better idea of what the club is about than if you said, "I'm a member of ECX."

I think I'm out of the game anyways. The way things look right now I don't think I'll have my truck much longer. My friend made me a good offer on it so I think I'm gonna take it. I'll see if I can get him to go on some runs and if he does I'll surely go with him.

Well I for one think that the members should maybe vote on a name... among other things in the club...

Vote on a new name ... click here!!! (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106415)

Ummmm..........so there is a merging of two clubs.............but then people want to seperate ECX from MD up?

Well, this is starting to make perfect sense...................

actually I think it should cover the same territory as before... if not more. But as with any larger club, more organization will be needed, I was thinking of going state by state, elect a state chapter president/spokesperson for each state in the club, this way there will be less load on each state leader... heres a breakdown of my idea:

1. CEO of the entire club
2. 3 - VICE CEO's... 1 northern, 1 central, 1 southern
3. each individual state chapter presidents/spokespersons

now we may leave out #2 until the club grows somemore but that will be determined at a later date.

thats a great idea Chris,......well planned out. :bounce:

do whatever...jus make the decals look cool..and it will be all good.. :bounce:

1. CEO of the entire club
2. 3 - VICE CEO's... 1 northern, 1 central, 1 southern
3. each individual state chapter presidents/spokespersons

And to think out here we just call up our buds and go wheeling. :p

We don't need no stinking CEOs :shoot: :D

lmao... I didnt mean that literally... just for lack of better terminology :p

Lol @ Rick :)

Sounds like a plan to me, slapnuts. I'd do things a little differently though:

1) 'CEO' of the whole thing (Which would be you, since you run the site and the decals)
2) Chapter/state 'Organizer's' *waits for one of you pervs to crack a joke about me using the word 'organ' :p *
3) 'Vice Organizer' for each chapter/state (as backup in case Organizer is unable to attend)

Might as well just be a chapter per state and the one in charge of that chapter is responsible for:

A) arranging runs either in that state or to another (especially if your state has no particular Explorer attractions, IE: legal 'wheelin or a big car show)
B) keeping members informed of future runs via email or phone call
C) helping or finding help for members with Explorer issues (lifting, lowering, engine trouble, etc)
D) and getting decals ordered for members.

That way it simplifies the decal process on you and makes it easier to plan runs. Plus the 'Vice organizer' (or whatever title you guys wanna go with) should always be kept informed of the 'Organizer's' plans in case he or she can't make it. Everybody else can just chill and show up to events :cool:

Now all I wanna know is am I gonna have to beat up Blee and Stephen to head up the Maryland chapter? :D ;)

Lol @ Rick :)

Just be glad no moderators took up my request to change your customized title to "I brake for tuna" :D This will be a tough one for us to decide.. who should run the maryland chapter..

I've got seniority on you, bub :D

Seriously, you spend more time than Stephen and I at the computer, so maybe it's best if you do it... but by gum I better be a Vp at least- come on, I've been doing the Carlisle planning for years now and that's the biggest run for the East coast :p ;)

Yeah but I'm older.. but Stephen got us beat.. He's old enough to collect SSI benefits. :D

I believe my brother, JoshC is still a member but he's kinda outta town for a while. He's in Iraq and won't be back til about September (hopefully) or so.

Well, I thought up some more things to contribute....

1) How do we determine who becomes the 'Organizer' and 'Vice organizer'?
2) Wouldn't a national club be stepping on the existing Explorer clubs? (it's not enough that we're all already members of Serious Explorations?)

not to start an argument or anything but why dont we get the club together before we start slaming heads on a whos going to be who.. i mean if we never go and meet each other how will anyone really know. I just want to be the one that comes to the runs and thats it.. im not an organizer and i know how hard that can be..


So i say the first that can organize a meet should be that one in charge so to speak.


Gary

So does everyone agree on a merge?

So does everyone agree on a merge?i keep forgetting to reply to this, but im still around.

We NEED a website along with a webmaster to run it *I would also like to ask all who wish to be members to post on the Prospective Members post in this same forum**

Ryan, I thought you already had a website. If you need some help in upkeep or things like that, I'll be happy to help out in whatever way possible

You mean like Connecticut, which has NO legal places to wheel? :(

I do have a website but it is nowhere near Lizard's. I don't have a lot of free time to continualy (sp?) update it nor do I have enough webspace because it is a geocities site.

i'm here! :D

I would love to join an explorer club. Fill me in on the details and I'll do what I can.

I'm working on pictures.

yeah let me know on how to join, i'll be more then glad to...

I'm here, I don't do much, but there isn't much going on in West PA. :(
