This is a post for Team 1629 GaCo students, this is a roll call for new and old students to make sure you all have Chief Delphi accounts and you know how to use the system. ::rtm::

Is it that good of an idea? Could you imagine if all 2000 some FRC teams decided to do this? CD would be way too cluttered. Maybe it would be better done with PMs or something.

Yes. It would be amazing for everyone.

I agree with this statement. It is a good concept, but should be kept out of threads to avoid ‘cluttering’.

No, I don’t want to see threads of 2000 teams times 20+ users each. There is a place in the profile to place a team number, that is how I identify people.

I guess the “detractors” missed the point of this exercise.

It wasn’t a fun way to say HI to all the team members, it was a means to verify that all the members of the team obtain Chief Delphi Accounts, and know how to post responses to messages.

Without having everyone on the team do it at least once per year, how would YOU verify that everyone knows how to use this valuable resource.

“That’s a bad idea” posts seem more like clutter to me.

So I guess this post has upset some users. However, there are other things on ChiefDelphi that also “clutter” the forums, for instance, the “Who am I” posts, isnt there a place you can upload your photo on your profile as well?

My personal opinion is this, we are trying to get our students to learn how to use ChiefDelphi to its fullest extent, because we as mentors believe this is a very powerful tool, and if you are not using it, or don’t know how to use it, you are missing out on alot of useful information. Also, if you see the topic and it doesn’t interest you then dont click the link!!! I personally browse the subjects, pick the ones that pique my interest and view only those!!!:ahh:

Getting students to use Chiefdelphi and use it correctly is always a difficult thing. Far too often I see students (and sometimes mentors) on here that don’t understand the “manors” of forum use. It can also be difficult to distinguish useful information from garbage at times. With that said the first step of turning a student into a useful forum member is getting them on the forum. Often this is the hardest step. The next step is getting them to come back after that first login. From the looks of it you have the first step at least partly done so well done. Hopefully they all continue to visit the site and turn into productive members of the Chiefdelphi community.
