I'm subscribed on YouTube. Also you can keep a look out for these videos in the Video Reponse section of the Lonelygirl15 homepage.

It's something we're aware of but aren't quite sure what the solution is. The vids are uploaded to revver and YT at the same time. We submitted the vid as a vid comment here within an hour of Truckstop Reunion showing up, it still hasn't been approved. It's a different issue with YT in that we can't get the bulletin feature to work there. What we ended up doing is posting here when the vids were ready to view in both locations.

We've had some internal procedural kinks to work out as this was our first cycle but for the most part we're satisfied. I think some people were unsure how it all was supposed to work and hopefully they have a better understanding now. We had some people phone it in and cut and paste directly from wikipedia. It's a great source but you can see from the research that was chosen it's important to paraphrase, interpret and relate the topic to what's going on in the fight against the Order.

Thank you. I'll try to keep my eyes peeled better for the next cycle.

"Phone it in"?

tsk tsk.

How do we know what our Nerual number is? Will we be told if our information is chosen?

Thanks for clarifying this.

What a great concept

You should receive a number when you join.

I'm having Cerebellum look into this for you.

We're trying to rely on email as little as possible. The best way to see if your data has been selected is to watch the Intelligence Reports!

Thanks!

In the Research Assignment vid we asked for definition, examples, application or function. We mostly received by the book definitions, which we anticipated. We hoped some people would realize that logically that's what would be submitted and to put together a complete report we'd need something more.

I was personally pretty impressed with some of the research that we received since this was the first cycle. The correct conclusion that the N3ural N3t is a functioning Smart Mob was made. Some people even cited the sources they obtained their material from, which is good if they paraphrased, bad if they plagiarized. Some included pictures, which we didn't use only because we were unsure of copyright.

Again the first time out was a feeling out process for us all.
