ICC Survey Regarding Bulletin Boards

I see. It more of the lip service from ICC. Not whining at you Gene. Its just that an unenforceable rule is like an unenforceable code, the good guys will follow the rules and the bad guys still do what they want. There are so many easy ways to cover that up if you want too. And for the money at stake for some industries, it would be worth it.
 
haha.

No offense taken, TT.

It's like speeding though. Drive as fast as you want to. . . . until you get caught.

Interestingly, the NFPA came up with similar rules about 10 years ago. I'm not a fan of their final rules - talk about confusing - but they do have a process.
 
My thoughts on the support money for people to attend are as follows. If the Town or city pays your way to attend that's great. It can be in a yearly budget. Public info. For those who can't afford the expense to attend they would have to apply for support money. The support money could be in an escrow form or type of account. It could be set aside for yearly membership fees to ICC. So that means the upper levels of management may need a pay cut. Now if you apply and are granted support funds for a given year base on finical need of an individual or community then three years would have to pass until you would be allow to apply again. In that way it would get spread around.

Now every member should be able to vote from the office or home on any issue. The reason and excuses just don't fly anymore. Members in good standing should all be able to vote. Not just the 20 or 30 people in the room. This is not rocket science. You don't get to post on this board unless you are a member. Two guys manage this when we have the time.

And as for the problems with band width with the old BB and the non function of the new one maybe they need to contact us for how it should work.
 
Just got asked to fill out the same survey a second time. Maybe they did not like my answers the first time and are giving me another chance :P
 
Just got mine too. Guess the first was sent as a past user of the old bulletin board, today was as someone who has visited the ICC site in the last year.
 
Me too!

I'm guessing that there's no matching of responses with invitations since the name on the survey is optional.

(How would they know?)
 
ICC member for six years

posted on ICC BB until this one started

never got a survey

bummer...harder to dance alone

not impossible just more difficult
 
Ah hell peach. It ain't that hard. Besides, If Rich Weildan, (mispelled name) wants my a** he is more than welcome to what little is left.
 
I notice Jeff hasn't responded to the? about shutting down this site. He may have just not read that post. Jeff and I talk on a regular bases. If for any reason or at some point Jeff wants out I will take over the site. He knows I am willing to do what ever it takes to keep it going including money and that does don't take a whole lot. Jeff can add or correct anything I have stated, but from our conversations he is delighted to provide this forum for open discussion. I am as well. Also, enough people have volunteered to moderate debates that get out of hand. We are big boys and Girls so this has not been a problem with policing ourselves.

Hopefully, more will join us and add to the flavor and variety of discussions. In time the public will find us and more professionals as well. Each user can spread the word to whom ever they come in contact with. Search engines are constantly gathering info off this site, so in time it will pop up in many different places.

Regarding ICC site: It will never return to what it was. The lights are out. The good old days are just a memory. Some times change is good and it is often hard to except it when it arrives, but I see good things that have happened as a result of the old BB closing. I also see a need to correct the wrongs that exist at ICC.

For now no worries about this site. We want the input from members to try to improve the site. We want open discussion about codes and other issues. We both relay on and respect those who contribute and most of all we both want the interactions with other code officials.

ps: Jeff pipe in at any time!
 
Jeff & rjj, Last year I distributed business cards in Baltimore avertizing this site. I will be going to Charlotte this fall and planned on doing it again with your permission. What do you think?
 
JP Good idea! Put some in the book store as well!

I still have a few left. I give them out when ever the opportunity comes up. Not sure if I will be in Charlotte! Money and things and events changing around me. I would like to go cause I will be about two hrs. away from my youngest. It would be good for a visit. Just not sure yet.

anyway just spread the word and just like field of dreams they will come. Don't worry about the site! Just post questions and have fun, learn and enrich each other.
 
Sure would like to have a card that looks a lot more professional. Need some good graphic design. Any takers? I'll take care of the printing and distribution.
 
BTW.......reagrding:

Where has Brudgers gone? I did like him/her!

JP,

You can extract the material from the cards and use Microsoft Publisher or some other installed software similar on your PC and design a card that looks better.

Yes he does challenge us and has made me think outside the box on a couple of issues.

JP

Get with your high school or college graphics arts department when school starts. They may get their students to participate as a class project
 
jp,

Send me a PM with what you want on your card and I'll give it a try. ;)

BTW, does anyone know what we're calling this site... ??? Was there

ever a consensus on a name? The Advanced Code Group Forum,

...Jeff's Place, ...The Codes Forum, ...The "NEW" Codes Forum,

The "No Resemblance To ICC In Any Manner" Codes Forum, ...other?
