Maybe you should try the political method of lobbying...... A big fat check!
If I had a big fat check...I think I would go a different route.....THE UPGRADE ROUTE!

Wow--deja vu all over again lol
Kudos to you!!!! I know it's labor intensive. This is what SargeD & I used to do. We got quite a few, but not sure how many lasted for the long haul. Heck, I kept crunching but didn't participate on the boards for a long time-well until now. Am clueless though as to how to get people interested in catching the crunch bug on a major scale again. If I had more time, I'd spend it looking for that clue.
And assimilating ( resistance IS futile) that has always been the stumbling block for others teams who've been approached--losing their identity AND all their hard earned stats. I'm lost as to what Bok & DrPop said about fields and all that and LAF's work around for gaining other teams but keeping their old team names in their usernames so they keep all their goodies. Probably out of the question to just ask them huh?
Trying to do what I can... I'm not being selective; I'm just going down the list and emailing everyone that has an email address so eventually you're probably going to get an email.
One thing that did catch my eye was the email for Top Viking no longer works.

I'm looking forward to getting my email from you, STM!
Some good news: my brother just came for a visit and said he's cool with leaving his dual core on for us - he doesn't have a real GPU (we should say "yet"!) but he is crunching the PG challenges under my user name, then will leave the computer on to crunch whatever we need after December - I'm thinking one more dually crunching AQUA 24/7 can't hurt!
It will probably be awhile DrPop, since I started at Z and am working backwards.I'm looking forward to getting my email from you, STM!

It's always great to have one more system online.

....and what have the responses been?
Wendy1847 told me that she want's to come back but she doesn't have a computer that can run Bonic.
And, the other 2, well...
Were Possum and Triggl:
thepossum1 - told me my email went to her junk mailbox... which now makes me wonder if that's going to happen to most of them. I am sending each one individually, since I figured that if I had multiple recipients that it would trigger a spam filter.
And... Triggl - Told me I was using the wrong link. Sorry; that has been corrected.
I'm hoping even if they don't reply that perhaps they will check out the link and sign up.
Edit:
Apparently GMail has a daily sending limit and I just hit it; I'll have to continue tomorrow.
