    By popular request - We're starting up a mail list. We haven't thought of an uber cool name for it yet... Thinking "Officer Club", but we are open for suggestions.

    The premise is to be able to offer News, tips and updates directly as well as specific newsletter only offers or give-a-ways on a monthly basis.

    Eventually, we intend to integrate the systems into the main cms for file updates and the like.

    If you are into that sort of thing, the sign up page is here:
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=28

    Double opt in of course.....

    Tanks,

    Oh, I thought this was a separate one from what I signed up for yesterday but obviously not. That's a decent title as Admirals club is too hoighty-toighty.:)

    Yeah I guess something like "The Barracks" too military and less geek. Something like Special Ops sounds fun. But I like officer's club.

    Admirals Club isn't bad, except that's a Naval officer, and the motif here is Army green.

    The first thing I thought of was Major Scoop. :major

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scoop
    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/scoop
    Funny thing about names, the clever ones only come to mind when you don't need one.

    After it's done, we may all think of something better - it's just the nature of things. :-D

    Of course, I'm often Rong!

    P.S.
    Just thought of another:
    K Rations

    hehehee.... Good ideas. Got to say, Kinda diggin' on "The Brigg" - Not sure if folks would get it though.. Then again I think you could say that about nearly everything that jumps off my keyboard.

    Probably gonna give a way a lot of stuff with that list. Off hand we are thinking Birthday presents we got that we hate... Sort of like "Geek-Regifting."
