As you all no doubt aware poor old Treefrog has had a somewhat serious accident and is rather poorly in hospital at the moment. See here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17590753
Now of course we all want to send our wishes but we must also preserve a certain amount of privacy & ethical ground - it is too easy to get carried away with sentiments and feelings without thinking it through. This is why it has taken a little bit of time to think of the best idea to do it.
We have come up with the following plan which I think is the fairest way of doing it. If you wish to discuss it or add ideas please do so but please let us keep focus on what this is about.
We propose that we setup a date for a Card Signing meet so that people can put in their thoughts and poems/pictures and anything else they would like to add. There has been talk of money sending and so on - but this can happen at a later stage - this is a thread for sending your thoughts and best wishes.
People who cannot attend the card signing can email whatever they wish and we'll add it to the big bundle that we would send to Jim. Obviously people wishing to get in touch directly will be at the discretion of R124/LA420 and Jim and it is not for us to stop people wanting to do that. I/we just feel it's better if we can send it as one big wallop of love and as a collective - as this is what we are a big group of people wishing him well.
I hope you all feel this is a sensible and nice way to go about it and hope that a lot of you will be able to turn up and raise a glass to him too maybe.
Thanks for your time.

[edit]Ok, slight change of plan having had an update on his condition. You're all invited to record your messages of support and email them to Otacon ([email protected]). They will be collated onto audio CD's and delivered to the man himself in the near future. Sooner the better please
After that we'll look into preparing one, or a couple of cards, and we're looking at replacing his glasses that were broken during the accident, so expect more details on a collection for that.
Thanks
