I don't know if this is correct really, I tried to piece it together from comments over in It's been a nice break.... I will try to keep it updated as best I can, if searchers will post their progress. Cheers,

Thanks Melanie, post updated. Should we email the member with the outstanding mooch?

Alright, I double checked Washington and Oregon zip codes and all of the over 300 accounts have been identified and posted, but they haven't all been mooched from yet. I'll post as soon as they are. In the meantime, I've started working on the California accounts, so California can be added to the Underway section.



Thanks!

Question for the team: Are there still mooches needed in Connecticut and Louisiana? I have lost track of the posts if there are... Thanks all!
Kerry

Thanks Melanie and Valerie. I must have moved Louisiana in error, so I have put it back onto the "to be completed" list. I searched the forum and there is nothing about it for this time around. Sorry about that!

@Melanie C. I've been seeing the same thing recently. I don't know how it compares to last time, but lately I've been getting a lot of responses asking if I really want the book. Also one rejection for "Request doesn't appear to be a legitimate request for a book".

I also wanted to chime in and say that I've only been focusing on posting accounts over 300 days old. A lot of the 200+ accounts look like they just haven't been mooched from in a while. Plus, especially with California, the number would almost double if I posted the 200+. (I have been tracking them and I post them/mooch from them if they become 300+ or if they don't seem to be an account just waiting for a mooch...that's pretty subjective though).

@everyone. Same here, definitely more activity this time around. But last time I was trying to work mostly the really old accounts +1000 days.
I am not using the blurb anymore, so I am just treating these like any other mooch so I am not getting those questions. I stopped using it sometime in the middle of the last round since no one ever replied. I guess I could be accused of hiding my association with the project, though it is right on my bio page if anyone is interested. But the blurb seemed more trouble than it was worth to me. YMMV.



@Rachel, I am also trying to mooch from the over 300 days inactive accounts first, then moving to the <300. Since we have fewer moochers this go round, or so it seems to me, it makes sense to let them age a bit on the threads. We can mooch them later, and maybe in the meantime they will log in. :)

I've been noticing the same - I've gotten a greater percentage of responses and sending than I did last round. There was one moocher who was +300 days and he packaged and sent in a day or two - his inventory was small and fairly obscure so I suspect he just hadn't had any transactions recently. I have never used 'the blurb' and treated each mooch like a real one - I personally feel like if I'm going to request something, I have to be willing to get it. It's one of the reasons I'm being more selective this round. (That and thanks to this project and my attempts to mooch from recently posted books, I am fairly low on points, lower than I've been since right after I joined BM yonks ago.)

Thanks CS! I have posted the last list. At some point I will spend some time going through the forum to see if we can dig out the mooch lists and determine which are complete and where we have mooching still needed.
Kerry

I moved Nevada and New Jersey to the mooching complete list as those posts seem to have no more in need of mooching.
Kerry

By my count there are two members left who need mooches and we are done with this pass of the US!
