Updates on progress here:
Forum moved to forum.overlandpeople.com
Formerly camp.overlandpeople.com. I was having some challenges communicating this space, “forum” is simpler than “camp.” If you added the app to your phone, you may want to delete the old icon and re-add to Home Screen (although I don’t believe this is necessary). You may need to re-enable notifications (the forum should notify you). This kind of a change won’t happen again. No broken links, everything redirects properly.
More emoji reactions enabled
Jeep and Toyota jokes have started flying. Using a 
to emoji react isn’t always appropriate… so a few more were added. I particularly wanted to 
in an emoji response.
In Progress
- Still dialing in some areas, many folks have contributed to testing various parts of the system. Overall, I’m really liking it. Thank you all for continued testing/reports/any odd issues.
- I’m dialing in workflows for hosting Rigs & Brunch events and trip planning. We’ve got a group live right now for trip planning. Once I get this sorted a bit more, I’ll share more on how others can start gauging interest for trips. Fun to watch interest for Baja Mexico trip run here.
- I have more thought son the vision of this space and where this is going. I plan to share more on that soon. In the interim, this space will remain invite only. Intent is signal versus noise here, quality discussion/conversation.
- Really fun to watch thoughtful intros here. I value thoughtful participation (it’s what makes this space great). I’ve been on 6+ trips with Hoa and hadn’t talked with him in person about some of the elements he highlighted here in his intro.
- I’m starting to invite more people (I’ve got various folks spread across Facebook, Instagram, and dozens in my email inbox/text messaging from events I’ve hosted around the country.
I originally didn’t want to do a forum – I fought this for years. Partly because I want to use technology to get offline, not to use a forum to cause people to spend more time behind a computer screen. The aim here is to convene, then get offline on trips and/or Rigs & Brunch events and share learnings.
If anyone is looking for anything specific in their overlanding world, do let me know either publicly or privately so I can continue to curate a space that serves us well.
