Help me create a Swamp email list
So, I'll probably spend more time than I need explaining what this is, but so be it.
As part of a work project to help test some of our newest email capability, but also with the idea that we can finally cultivate a useful list of email addresses to be able to communicate to all Swampers at once if necessary (or those who WANT to be notified at least, consider filling out this quick easy form below:
http://brianseymour.secondstreetapp.com ... gnup-Form/
There are two checkboxes, consider the first one for breaking news alerts like if the Swamp is down and we wanted to just notify everyone via email right away we would use that list.
The second box is for sending a semi-regular update. If and when I get around to doing it for real it would be a maximum of probably two messages a month at most, possibly scaling up if we actually have stuff it makes sense to share together via email (the idea is that eventually maybe even one or two others could get access to the tool my company makes and use it to send a semi-regular "newsletter" though again "newsletter" might be overstating it, especially at first.
It's completely optional of course. If you don't want to share your email then don't.
A few other things.
This list will NEVER be used for anything other than Swamp-related messages (which at first might include a few test messages but that will eventually taper off and stop. All test messages will be labeled as such in the subject line.) It won't be shared with any third parties and nothing will be done with any of these emails which would violate CAN SPAM or any other relevant national or international law.
If you are going to do this, I'm going to ask to use your "real" information (i.e. birthdate, postal code, etc.). At first at least only I would have access to this information, but it would never be shared outside of any Swampers who might one day have admin privileges for sending emails through the tool.
If you have any questions, reply below and I'll try to respond as quickly as I can.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Done. Nice idea for when the world burns or you need to tell us where you are in Nicaragua or whatever.

Not nuts about putting my birthdate out there.

Re: Help me create a Swamp email list
That's fair. I can remove it. One sec.

Re: Help me create a Swamp email list
There was a bit of logic there, but it's probably not necessary for anything we'd want to do. (There are automated birthday emails that can be configured, but I doubt we'd have much use for those.)

In. Thanks for putting this together, and removing the birthdate requirement.

Couple of other things -- I won't leave this as a Sticky-ed post forever -- I'm not a huge fan of those myself, but would like to for another a month or so.
However, if you want to share the link with a lurking Swamper or someone who isn't around much and you already know their email address, there is a link within the signup to share via email so they can choose if they want to signup themselves.

Re: Help me create a Swamp email list
If you still have one of your emails from TurdRyan's Swampcrashes, you can see a ton of email addresses there. Might want to ask permissions tho.

Re: Help me create a Swamp email list
Yeah, that's why I'm doing it this way. It complies with all relevant laws if users opt-in themselves. It should only take less than a minute though for those who want to do it. (In theory someone like Rerun Dave or someone with admin access -- maybe even me! -- could just run a report of email addresses users used to create their Swamp account though I don't remember if email address was required. I assume it was. But I can't legally send an email from within my company's tool using that list.

Re: Help me create a Swamp email list
One other thing -- once any real messages start flying there WILL be an option to opt yourself out of both lists directly from the emails themselves.
So you will always easily have the option to no longer receive any messages if you choose to do so.

Hey!
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.
Re: Help me create a Swamp email list
Yeah, that's cool. I'm a little bummed the mobile site ain't loading. It should be mobile-enabled. But if that's easier go for it.

Technically can be used for stuff like that (if we decide as a benevolent-ish dictatorship we want to.)

Re: Help me create a Swamp email list
Thanks for the response thus far, guys. I think this might really come in handy someday.
For now, I'll leave this link up for the rest of the month as a sticky and then let it go its course. Sometime in a week or two I might send a couple of test messages which like I said will be marked as such.

Fixed. It was technically there, but there was a lot of garbage at the top because of some testing was I was doing so required scrolling down.

Re: Help me create a Swamp email list
I'm unsticky-ing this post. Still plan to send some "test" emails here in the next few weeks. They will be identified as such in the subject line. PM or email me with any issues or problems or feedback.
