>> I see it's already been dropped there to promote VCF MW
I don't know what you mean. "Dropped there to promote Midwest" ... that is false. VCF West is atop our website header, our blog page, and the VC Forum header.
It's true that we are focusing more on social media. There are a couple of dozen Facebook groups for various aspects of retrocomputing that * each * have multiple thousands of users. I think it's safe to say that people here on Cctalk already know about VCF events. Usually, when I do post about our events here, the response is either crickets or threadjacking.
