    We're definitely doing a next round, but I'm going to step aside from running it this time. This isn't just a repetitive BIF where it's "my" thing; nothing wrong with those, but this is more than that. This group has obviously taken on a life of its own beyond the original, or even subsequent "rounds", and like the other two ongoing groups, I don't think it should have a single "leader" in charge of what happens or when.

    I'll certainly be sticking around to play and will happily run future rounds. I am also more than happy to help any way I can, whether that's just providing an address for a ninja (though I plan to make a spreadsheet eventually), providing feedback on a box, or helping qualify and mentor new members. Don't think I'm going anywhere, this is not a goodbye, I'm just stepping aside from being "in charge".

    To that point, @Yourahoser is going to take the reigns for the upcoming round we've been looking forward to. I've offered to consult with him as needed, and I think everyone would agree that he's going to do a great job.

    Cheers folks!

    -Kevin

    I just want to thank Kevin @LehighAce06 for running the first two rounds and creating a BIF that has introduced myself and numerous other folks to BIFs. Personally, I find that BIFs are more fun that trying to work things out in the viper pit and have a much community-esque feel to them. Thanks again, Kevin. Hopefully, I can half as good a job as you.

    On another note, I'd like to open up the sign-ups for Round 3. Please BM me your info along with untppd profile. Style preferences/Shirt size/No Shipping Dates/Whatever else you feel is necessary. I will respond with some more specifics

    To make this a simple BIF for myself and whomever else decides to join in for the 1st time. Let's make this a simple, Send Some Good Beer round with a minimum of 144 oz.

    Encourage your BA friends to join, remember this was partially started to introduce people to the BA world. Thanks guys and I'm looking forward to Round 3.

    When's the sign-up and shipping windows open/close? I won't be in for this round but I may have some fresh meat for you.

    In the same boat. I may join depending on the windows. I have way too much beer so may sit it out, but I have some friends who I might try to get in on this one.

    @Yourahoser I believe my buddy @Jwilford23 is in for the next round. I told him to send you a BM with all of the required info.

    I'll take sign-ups for next two weeks.
    Targets will go out at end of month.
    Let's aim to ship late March-early April.
    Sound good for everyone?

    Don't start a NJ vs. FLA porch bombing war. There would be many casualties. And don't invite @whyteboy003 please.

    To everyone - Don't forget to BM me that you're in. This will be easier for me to track than reading through the thread.

    BTW, it wouldn't be a Newbie Round if we didn't get to see @pnelting's beautiful pictures.
