Da, comrades! I have been given this position to lord it over all of GB-dom!!
...what?
Oh, sorry...
Ahem... I have been given this position to help facilitate the running of GB's, from keeping track of ideas to their scheduling to, um, etc.
If you've got a GB idea that I've forgotten to include on the calender, or have more info for one of the proposed ones (moderator being captured, er, persuaded, preferred time frame, etc), please PM me, and I'll get the info on the calender.
I've also been given command... (I've got delusions of grandeur, don't I?)... oversight of the Knacker's Yard as well. I'll be closing old GB's that have either run their course or haven't had a post in over a year. Yes, this means I'll be closing the beloved by all Soviet Carrier Ops GB, but, comrades, it sailed into history long ago...
One thing we're going to start doing (after we get the next two GB's going, since they've been planned for a while) is going to a Polling system to determine what GB we're going to have next. There's been some GB's sitting on the calender for a while that probably need revisiting to see if they can't be worked into the schedule.
We're also going to begin shortening GB's to no more than three or four months for the build phase, because the participation seems to be the same whether the GB is short or long.
Also, with the shortening of them, it will in theory allow us to get to other GB's quicker, so if one doesn't suit you, you won't have to wait too long for another to begin.
Like I said, if you've got a Group Build concern/idea/what-have-you, PM me.
