Lynn, Thanks for the help. I've updated the list and removed the 'strange' one. There's definitely an Irish account linked to that one somehow, just not sure how or why, but it will always show up as an inactive account when looking through the Irish members. I'm hoping that somehow we can get an Irish member to help with any that are set to my country only or don't respond to our polite requests!

bumping this one up. I've emailed a couple of angels. I'll email more depending on how that goes.

@lynn - how are you going to vacate them? Are you going to report to admin? I've got three that I requested well over a week ago and no response from two but an acceptance from the other, which I think was good going.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@lynn - if they are 'ask first' then no record of your request appears on your pending page until they say 'yes' and you mooch. I was thinking of just reporting them to admin to let them decide what to do.

Donna, I have emailed a couple of Irish angels, and if I get no response I'll try a couple more. The "ask first" people will need a domestic mooch much like the "my country only" people. Lynn, you never know, your request emails may result in reactivating the accounts. It doesn't hurt to ask!

I've have made request of 'mush' and 'Eimear Murphy' from the My Country Only list above.
No response from the first, but a response that they're looking for the book from Eimear. So I'll see what happens on that one.Given I really have no interest in any of the books on the other inventories, I'm going to leave it at that. Cheers
Donogh

I've emailed a few more angels so we'll see if we can clear the rest of these up.

Hiya, I'm one of the Irish angels that received your email, I will request a book from everyone on the "My country only list" above. I will let you know if any response is received. I have plenty of spare points, so there is no need for a donation. Thank you for emailing me. I don't have time to use the forums, but I'm glad to help with any BookMooch projects as needed.

My Country Only list: The "mush" account has no books listed. All other accounts in that list have been mooched from, I will come back in 7 days and see if they have been replied to or not.

Thanks @Lynn Herron - I know what you mean. I'm lucky enough to have my mother in Northern Ireland, so I can mooch UK-only books to her, makes life easier.

Now that just leaves the "ask first" list to deal with! Great progress, thanks.

I've finally found time to update the lists! We now just need Irish members to mooch from those set to 'ask first' as there's really nothing else that I can do. I've sent 'would you please consider sending...' requests and had one response but apart from that it's been a failure

I've emailed a couple of the angels to see if they can help.

Hello, I am an Irish member and willing to help with this but I'm not exactly sure what to do. Can somebody advise? Thanks!

Hi Elaine, thanks for your offer of assistance. All the accounts that had been identified have been mooched from but seeing as the list was created a month ago there may now be more out there. The idea was to find accounts that had been inactive for a period of time, I took 200 days-ish as my guide, and mooch a book from them with the intention of renewing their interest in the site. There is always an element of danger in it, as quite often when doing the UK accounts many of us had to mooch stuff we may not have been that interested in - a kind of Russian Roulette - only with Dan Brown and Brigitte Jones instead of bullets!!! I've received a few that I had no real interest in but have re-listed them, and for the most part shifted them on (Hurray!!!)
If you want to find any accounts and mooch, feel free. You can find them by going through the browse button and selecting 'location', from there select 'people - country' and you should be able to click on Ireland and you're in - you can go through the members one-by-one. You need to leave 7 clear days plus the time difference before doing anything, even if an email bounces back (the site has an 8 hour time lag for the UK on the times it displays for the mooches). You then cancel the mooch selecting the 'did not respond' option and the account should then be 'on vacation'. It doesn't hold any penalty for the account holder as they can easily re-activate their account, but it does mean that their books shouldn't show up as available, which is very annoying to all. If you've got any more questions let me know.

Elaine / Donna, there's not really much needing done right now, I have mooched from everyone on the list at the top of the page and this will either kickstart their account if they respond, or allow me to put their accounts on vacation this weekend if they don't.
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
As it's an ongoing project - there may be accounts around 200 days now as I remember seeing some around 170/180 days when I compiled the original list. As my targets at the time were accounts 200 days inactive, and the list was done 3 weeks ago...
If you want to help Elaine feel free but you may want to leave it a couple of months and have a go then.

Great work Ellybabes, but how depressing that all but one either failed to reply or removed inventory!
