Why put all of your eggs in one basket? From time to time, as we hear about them, we'll be using this thread to tell you about some of the other rideshare resources availble to Burners, ones which have not been as frustrating to use as the ePlaya rideshare board has reportedly been for some. There's something to be said for keeping things simple, or at least having a backup in place approached in such a spirit. Using a tested service like Proboards instead of creating something from scratch, while not earning one so many bragging points, tends to result in fewer headaches for one's users than does an insistence on reinventing the wheel. Third thought seems to have occured to others, including this first gentleman with whom we are trading links.
He runs a yahoogroup with a very specific regional focus on the Midwest, called Unofficial Midwest Burning Man Rideboard. (Use the article of your choice), I guess. The owner asks that the egional focus of his list be honored, going so far as to post a listing of the states which are in the Midwest, for the benefit of people who seemed to have been under the impression that Oregon was going to make the list, some of whom had posted in the past.
The group seems to be slowly picking up, a pleasant exception in the trend toward silence found in many Burning Man forums, as it serves a region often neglected. We'd like to thank Badger for helping us find the place, which we think wll prove a valuable partner for TTBM.
