Think I might give up on the whole ’’email all the old members’’ thing.. Haven’t had anything back in about a week.

That's roughly to be expected when most of us are actually ghosts without a shell. It's very difficult to collect one's existence long enough to reply to an email.

I was going to say something less deep, like don't give up, you are not far enough down the list.

How many are there? How many are left?

Could you not write a little PHP script that just sends out a template email with personal bits automatically filled in to the remaining members you want to buzz?

S.E.T.I has been doing similar that for decades, no one answered them either.

In Jay's case, if they see the email request, they should at least have the decency to answer after all Jay has put into the indie community.

Right... So... And I mean no disrespect... What actually was the point if your going to give up? You got over a brain tumour you loonie, if you heard nowt from people, just consider it that they either havent got your email or moved on and are'nt interested!

So, get your email client open, and carry on ya divvy!

On the one hand, it takes time to write something that doesn't sound robotic and spammy. With each and every email, I'm finding it ever more complex to not become a horrible automaton!
I didn't want to send out shitty spam mail crap, so tried to keep each one as different as possible.

... Then on the other hand, it's been a while since I got anything back, and that's a bit disappointing.
