Goodbye to a Few Grids!

Due to a lack of interest, we are leaving 3rd Rock Grid at the end of November 2011.  We have already left OS Grid, UFS Grid and Sim-World.  We should remain on InWorldz and Second Life until at least the end of January 2012.

Seeking New Members
Print Story | 0 Comments | Discussion

We are expanding to multiple grids.  On Second Life we have a group called the "Entertainment Consumers Association" that is free to join.  On the other grids you may join the "Haslage.Net" group and be added the ECA role if you are a member.  On each grid we will have an embassy with information about the group to recruit membership.  Links to each grid is posted to the left.

We seek members.  Members may only be U.S. citizens, 18 years and older.  It costs $20.00 USD to join.  Visit the ECA web site for details!

Ciao!

Welcome to the ECA Virtual Chapter
Print Story | 0 Comments | Discussion

ECA icon

What you see here is the first round of web page manipulation.  This web page is meant to be simple and easy to use.  As you see, all relevant ECA links and images are present so users may find whatever information they need.  Chapter related content will be found on the left sidebar and in the main content box above the ECA Twitter and publishing feeds.

As the first virtual chapter of the ECA, much of what is being done is pioneering.  Most activities will occur in virtual worlds called grids with minor bits, such as staff listings, news and meeting information on the grids, being posted to this web page.  Facebook, Twitter and etc... They do not have the capabilities we have here, as you can see.

Well, let the experiment begin as we play it by ear.  If you want to join the ECA, use the link at the top of the page.  It is $20 USD a year and only U.S.A. citizens may join.  Please request to join the Virtual Chapter when applying.  Once on a grid, you can contact our staff via the links on the left sidebar and let us know who you are virtually so you may be invited to the group.

Thank you and ciao!
