Hopefully we get more reefers than firefighters this year. 
That was fun thought.

Only when proceeds gained on the behalf of parties don't go TO those parties (and especially when one of those parties is an organization I belong to). Or, when those parties monies are used without oversight, accounting or authorization.
Speaking hypothetically, of course.
Yes, "YOUR" event is a PRIVATE event, and where the money goes is really none of my business.
I will note, however, that *I* was not the one who mentioned the distribution of proceeds... From this event or the original RAP. That was you.
No. As stated above, *I* DIDN'T.
For the record, CFM is a legitimate business. Founded from another event with the other event's organizers/owners PERMISSION.
Whereas "your" event is, um... Well, let's just say it isn't original and you didn't have permission... And I'm pretty sure the folks running SW CFM didn't try to get business for their event by posing as the other event.
Oh, JEEESUS... MY BEHAVIOR IS HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE?
You've been patting yourself on the back for SOOOO long, playing against people's sympathies and playing the martyr... "Doing it for everyone else"... Excuse me while I wipe the vomit from my lip...
The "I" in KevIn shows through more and more every day, should someone decide to look.
I don't flame every post you make. Don't make blanket statements...

Ohh, believe me.....even though it was hot out, I was sweating it FAR more than anyone else.
A total cancelation would have cost me (personally) tens of thousands of dollars even though I was a volunteer

I don't have many details, however it looks to be pretty close to the kind of event that happened in 2K7. The timing is an issue, though, as someone *cough* booked a VERY similar event in the same location at a "better" time as agreed to by the club *cough*...
In all seriousness, I think the 2K8 event will be a lot of fun, as well, and probably go a bit smoother as we (and someone else) learned from some of the mistakes...
I think that once things start gearing up for the event there will be a lot of feedback being shot back and forth to improve things a bit. There's a LOT of good info on what people thought about the 2K7 event, and I'm sure it will all be sifted through again as the date draws near.

HOW do you figure it would have cost you PERSONALLY? Please explain.
And you were a volunteer? You mean that RAP was a CLUB event and you weren't supposed to have any personal gain from it?
Wow. How odd that "Promoted by KTA" showed up on every badge (and almost everywhere else I could think of for that matter).
That's SOME volunteering!
FORMER friend. You need to remind yourself WHY THAT IS...

Bruce,
I have no animosities against you.
For whatever reason you seem to believe as fact, things that were fabricated merely to harm. I do not respond to such ludicrous accusations any more than you should believe with such vigor.
To answer your question:
volunteer:
I dedicated an entire year of my life to RAP '07 molding it into what I "thought" was the best for everyone involved. I simply did the best that I could do. If you are unhappy with the way things turned out, please don't go to whatever event I'm involved with in the future, that is your choice. But PLEASE refrain from spreading gossip merely to sabotage one event over the other.
These are ALL great things happening in our neck of the woods. All great for the hobby in general, whatever corporation is involved (yes, all three are corps) should have little bearing as to the services provided.
But most of all, please leave personal attacks to PMs and other private communication channels. This back-and-forth banter will only serve to shut down ANOTHER great thread. Causing this thread to close harms only SCMAS and benefits no one, do we not at least agree there?
That's a rhetorical question, Bruce, please just let it be.....please

I think that certain parties need to step away from the keyboard and take their personal issue off of the board. This is a warning. As a service to the club, I am posting a warning rather than closing the thread.
Posting privileges on Reef Central will be reviewed for possible revokation is this sort of behavior continues.

First of all, I don't know anybody in SCMAS personally, I didn't this year nor have I in the past ever attended any RAP. And while I have bigger concerns in my life besides the problems of one ex-president and a small club...
Although it was quite easy to form an opinion about all of the events that conspired behind the recent held RAP I have been, up until now, able to stay above of the fray. This post is just too much though.
Any one person claiming to have a potential liability for thousands of dollars for a club sponsored event is either "not very bright" (in an attempt to use a polite phrase) or blatantly crooked and intentionally looking to position himself (inspite all insistants otherwise). It's amazing how much self-denial people can live with...
And for the record, I may now just atend the next RAP but I certainly won't be attending any other events referenced in this thread!
