I have a complaint that really isn't directed at anyone but it may help if this group of people know what they are doing.
So a lot of people know that I used to plan quite a few events in the past and they were a lot of fun, but people don't seem to know what goes on in the background.
Any of the events that were planed outside were great and the only problem we had was the weather. So my advice to anyone trying to plan something, plan it outside. Believe me with the majority of the people on this forum and that will come you will be happy. A lot of these people like to run around and scream and you flat out can't do that inside. I don't think a lot of people realize this but every time we had a meet-up in the mall we were stopped by security (or at least the ones I planed). We were stopped because we were a large group and people were loud. So if people are wondering why there aren't as many events planed anymore this is a large reason why.
Now to get the the complaint part. It annoys me that when I try to plan an event at my house and I am given a limit on the number of people I can have, people complain. Well I wouldn't have to plan those events at my house if people weren't running around screaming and getting me yelled at by security.
Once spring rolls around I will try to plan another picnic and I do plan on going to the Enchanted Forest, but during fall and winter we have to have these meet-ups inside, and a house is the best place. People are confined, its not too loud, you can get everyone's attention if you need to, and no risk of being yelled at.
What I think needs to happen is for other people to plan meet-ups and see for themselves that it is really hard to keep everyone under control. I'm not too sure about the security at Clackamas but Lloyd, Pioneer and Washington mall security got on my case every time I was there.
This is just something I don't think people realize is going.
