Forum Emergency Contacts

I was thinking the other day i live 15 mins from the Neerim east area which im sure a few members would vist from time to time.What i was thinking is there a way we could have members who would be willing to help with recoveries post their Ph numbers and areas they are near,so if anyone has a major drama,such as a breakdown or worse accident and just need help they can ring and help won't be far away.But it would need to be set up so ONLY MEMBERS CAN SEE IT.
Not sure if this is able to be done or not,maybe AB or a mod could answer this,what are peoples thought's on this?

Hi mate, I moved your thread into its own.

I think its a top idea, I believe it could be set up so only members could view it. But would be something AB would have to set up.

Over 2 you members, whats you view on this topic?

I think it's a great idea, I probably wouldn't use it though as I feel bad asking strangers for favours, but I'd be willing to help others if they were in this area.
Maybe we should issue pagers like the CFA!

Yeah I think its a great idea. I would be up for helping in my area:-)

tappn it

Well, just to improve on the idea. As Todd knows where everyone is because of his map mastership, we could just send our numbers to Todd and Todd could just post his number on the forum. So if you need help, you just ring Todd and he will organise help for you. This way you just carry one number on your phone..:) BWahahahaha

So I'm in , anyone else...LOLOLOLOLOLOLO
How about it Todd, you in? LMAO

:cheers::cheers::cheers:


on a serious note, I'm keen!!!

I'm in Kris, 1 Full Case of Jim Beam goes 2 me for every call I receive *LMAO*

Thanks Todd.
I like you're thinking NissPat LOL.
I was thinking along the line's of something like for example:i live in warragul so im 15 mins from Neerim east and sweetwater areas,25-30 mins from Noojee,About 2 hrs from Mt matlock and about 1 hr from aberfeldy.So anyone in those areas could call me and if i was available i would come and help.You would just to write down the number for the person in the area your going to before you leave.

Great idea - not sure of how to manage etc, but like the concept. I'm pretty sure most of the members up here know they can call on a few others (as we've shared numbers already) in times of need, so think this would be a bottler - sort of a 'roadside assistance' concept between mates on the forum.

just thinking, on the members map, the members available to help be written in a different colour. hover over with mouse and see the phone number / availability?

I like your idea of helping other members and all for it Chester, but....I do not think that it would be a good idea to have members phone numbers on the forum for the world to see, just leaves it wide open for a lot of trouble mate.
