This is an idea that evolved in the Madness forum, but since we might actually do it, I see no reason why this can't be in a serious forum.
Here's the deal: I've got 32 GB of bootlegs that I have no desire to keep for myself, but is too much to upload anywhere. And I have an 80 GB external USB hard drive that I'm not using. The idea is, that I'm filling it with my boots and some other goodies so that it's got maybe 40 gigs worth of files. Then I send it to a member of this forum who would like to have this stuff. If he or she likes to, he can put new files on the drive's empty space.
This member, however, does not send it back to me, but to another member, so we develop a chain until the hard drive has traveled around the globe and one fair day returns to me. Afterward, everybody has tons of bootlegs (roughly six years worth of collecting) and we share a real community experience.
For the fun of it, let's not stop there, but put some goodies from our respective homes in the package as well. I'm going to include a few postcards for everyone to choose from and perhaps something unique from my place. If possible, try and put a sticker on the hard drive too (for example one representing your home town or at something local).
If you're interested in participating, post in here and I will include your name in a list following. This thread is mostly meant to coordinate the route the package will be taking so everybody knows whom to send it to next. It would be feasible to choose the closest geographical location to send it to from your place so we don't have to pay more shipping than necessary.
