I am starting to think JohnD would be an excellent choice for cleaning the calendar.

LOL! I came to the same observation an hour ago as I read JohnD's message.

Well, I am willing to take it on if TPTB are amenable to it.

Guess this is a non-starter. IMO a bit of a mistake.

We use the game calendar all the time in a number of my games with different results.
The lack of email notifications on discussion messages makes the discussion all but useless, hence why we've made a point of in the PFS group of using Forum posts for all discussions.

• My regular Thursday game uses it pretty religiously as it stands and it works ok up until there's a problem with a scheduled game... and then usually someone doesn't notice the message on the board that says 'game cancelled' up until they go check the board at gametime when nobody is around and the server isn't up.
• In my Sunday evening game we have pretty much bailed on the calendar and moved to OP to do our calendar tracking.
• In my Sunday morning game we've never used it... for whatever reason.
• In the PFS games we do all of our announcements and discussions in the forums... we DO make use of the calendar for it's global clock functions and for a quick and easy list of who is signed up for games. These are one shot games so there is a lot of turn over... the calendar gets a lot of use for these and GM activity info is largely correct.
• I also have a RuneQuest game open that is basically a list of players who wanted to be involved in playtesting a RQ extension... I could probably save all their names and close the game... but I keep it open as a reference, even though, currently, I'm not working on this project I do plan on picking it back up somewhere in the future. I could switch it to private or not accepting players, but I am kinda interested in anyone else who might be excited about this project moving forward again.

I'm posting up this info as general 'uses' sort of info.. I'm sure others use it in different ways.. but a lot of us likely have the same issues.

My apologies for slow response on this thread. I blame it on low personal bandwidth.

Let me talk with Doug about an appointment of a community manager for the calendar, and see how it is managed and whether this can be handed to a community member. That is, if you are still interested.

Certainly!
