FREE HUG ALLIANCE - JOIN THE REVOLUTION

[GoldenAI]

All those who participated in the Connecticut Regional this year could not help, but feel the warm snug hugz of the new revolution. The Free Hug Alliance was made up of more than a few teams with a goal of, you guessed it, giving out as many free hugz as possible. It was inspiring to say the least and as I joined the revolution I couldn't help, but feel we might be on to something here. So I started a website (still currently under construction).
Ask anyone from the FreeHugAlliance and they will tell you it was a blast.

I hope you post replies so everyone can see the new revolution as I saw it to be.

Thats awesome!!I wish I had been there!! Can you put out anymore information or pictures?

[Golto]

I'll see what I can pull up, just as soon as my FTP account becomes active!

Free Hugs for First - I like the sound of that. I'll try to give out some free hugs to our alliance partners (and to promote GP, the opposing alliance ).

[cardinalman86]

yahhh, lets not limit it to just first, lets get out there and spread gp throughout the world, one hug at a time!

[Danny McC]

I think it should just start with FIRST at first. I don't know if everyone would be up for free hugs.

I remember at championships a couple of years back some team was giving out free hugs at the bottom of this HUGE escalator...good times..good times.

You're maybe thinking of these guys? There were also these crazy people a while back, too. It seems like there are always people giving away hugs at the Championship.

lol well I'd go check out the website now.

I"d love to post some pics, but we had some camera troubles although there are a few of them my mentors might have them.

Patrick Plude is working on the forum as soon as I activate his accounts lol (oops sorry)

and Juan Galano is working on the logo. Anyway show some love and support!

We are really trying! And yes lets just start with First first shall we?

HUGZ!!!

Sounds cool, I'd be down for it at the champs if I wasn't going to be hardcore busy. Someone should stop by the 816 pit and see me. Lol just watch out because some people might be uncomfortable with getting a hug from someone of the same sex and also some mentors may not want hugs aswell.

"Not want" and "Will do" are two COMPLETELY different things!

We offered free hugs way.... back at Championships in Houston!

The site is down for some maintenance. I needed to forward the domain to another server (quotaless), as GoDaddy doesn't like PHP.

In the mean time, I'm working on getting a dedicated server running here. Then import the databases.

Meh, growing pains I suppose!

Its true some people weren't up for hugz and others needed to really be coaxed into it, but none the less we got a lot and we are looking for people
to run it at Regionals and the Champ.

We just made signs that say free hugz and went around saying funny quotes

Like "The End is Near. Repent and give free hugs!!!"

"Free Hugs. !00% more free. Moneyback garuntee!!"

lol...

anyone up for it? After you can send me pics of it and a list of all the people's names and emails that went around giving free hugz!!!

I was one of the people in Hartford that hugged a member of the Free hug Alliance. But could I caution you a bit?
First of all, we need to be respectful of each other's personal space. Some people are huggers and others are not.
We need to remember that some people have medical conditions that prevent them from wanting to be hugged. It could hurt someone to hug them.
We also encourage our FIRSTers not to show PDA.

Keeping this in mind, offering free hugs to people may be fine. Hugging people without their permission is definitely not OK.
