Thanks for doing this. Your idea for Zoom sounds like the easiest option. I'll try to find a way to start an event....

I found disputes@mlpforums.com in the site Guidelines, and sent an email asking how to set up an event. Will let you know if I hear anything. 

Did you figure anything out? If not, I can try.

No response unfortunately. We can try organizing the 3-4 people interested on our own.

Yeah, this thread seems to be working okay for organization.

Yeah, this evening is good. I'm also West Coast. Maybe we should still aim for early, in case any East Coasters want to join.

How about 6:00 our time, or 9:00 EST?

@NorthProductions@Deiv2008

Everyone's welcome, as far as I'm concerned.

I’m down. Haven’t seen the season 2 finale in a while, so this could be interesting

It would be a bit late for me like 8:00 PM if it's going to be in the evening

Are you on Eastern time? 8:00 for you would be 5:00 for me. I can do that, but we'll have to check with @Ishmael. It might be too early for him.

I'm not on EST I'm on UTC-5 😅. But I converted so yeah

Hey everybody,

5pm Pacific works for me, though 6 would work better. I can make either work. 

If we're doing Zoom, maybe start 10-15 mins before the actual time, so we can figure out how to do it?

We could contact in a social media like discord, if everyone has one account

I have Pluto. If I share my screen on Zoom, that should do it. Yeah, I'll definitely log in early to make sure it works. :)

Are you going to set up the call?

Wait, I think I figured it out. Try this:

So, from my understanding, just hit the join button on the preview?

Yeah, that should work. I haven't opened it yet, since it's still so early. I'll probably open it an hour or so in advance, just in case there are problems. 

I'm hoping it'll be straightforward, though. :)

[NorthProductions 9]

Thanks! I hope everyone here is excited for this

Sure I'm, though I'm a bit nervous, I usually don't talk with people, less online 

[NorthProductions 9]

Yeah, you and me both. Although, if it's okay with everyone, I'd rather just have my face blocked out, and only my voice. I'm not that confident yet, hehe

[TheTrueMelissa 48]

I don't care either way. If you want your camera off, that's fine with me. :)

[Ishmael 30]

I only turn the camera on if absolutely required, so don't worry about having the camera on or not.

I'll try joining 10-15 minutes early so we can see how it works. 

Is Pluto a TV service? I've been watching them on Youtube, on a channel called The Cartoon Archive. I like how whoever's running it includes the episodes in full, including the full credits, which the official Hasbro-MLP channel doesn't. 

[NorthProductions 9]

Since this is my first time doing ANYTHING like this, how exactly will this work?

[Ishmael 30]

I think we're all figuring that out. :) Presuming with Melissa starting the call, she'll project the video. We can make a rule about mics on/off, asking to pause for comments, etc. 

If we like this, I saw there are some plugins/apps that supposedly handle this more smoothly. I think Melissa assuming everybody has Zoom so just starting with that is a good place to start.

[TheTrueMelissa 48]

Yes, I did assume everyone had Zoom these days. Does anyone not have it?

In theory, you can just join the Zoom room via that link. I'll figure out how to share my screen.

[NorthProductions 9]

Alright, I just joined

[Ishmael 30]

I've gotta get some work done before 5, but hoping to be on around 4:30 to help test things out. See you then.

[NorthProductions 9]

Ah, I think I'm 30 minutes ahead of you
