Good News!!!
In case you haven’t noticed, BB
reporters been posting articles at a rate not seen in years. My girl Yaqui is the engine that could----and
does, we are the best team ever. With help
from others this year is closing out with number of posts at the third highest
in BB history and not achieved since 2011.
Views jumped almost a quarter
million.
All good and gratifying…big thanks
to all contributors and translators.
Now Bad News!
Yaqui is leaving to Mexico in a
remote area that has unreliable wifi.
Her ability to contribute, will be questionable and clearly will be
impacted. This a trip she and Super Mike
take each year, so this is not conjecture, it is knowledge from experience.
HELP!!!!
I have called on part time
contributors to contribute more
often. But that will not touch the void
left behind.
So I am reaching out to YOU, our
followers for your help. And it will
only be for 2 months or so.
Ways to help
1.
Send a article to my email. Chivis.martinez@hushmail.com. Have it translated if needed, and ready to
post with at least one foto. I will do
the rest.
2.
become a full reporter for 2 months.
That means a commitment of 5 to 7 posts per week You will be sent an
invitation to join, and will be activated as soon as you accept. The remainder I will explain as you accept.
3.
Be come a part time reporter posting 3 to 5 per week
4.
We could use one more translator.
If I can’t get a solution, with my
Chapo trial reporting, either I stop that and post a couple of posts each day,
or stop it all together. With moderating
it is just too much. And sorry to say I
am having another surgery in January.
Alternatively, we could shut BB
down for a couple of months. I am not
sure what to do. It will be predicated
on a working, functioning plan. Please
do not volunteer and not keep the commitment.
Good news it is only for a short time.

Be safe Yaqui!

I hope oaxaqueno can help out more. Love his articles. The work you all do to keep bb running is incredible. Every morning I wake up, I'm amazed to see another four, five posts. I can remember a few years ago when it was that many a week!unfortunately there is not much I can do to be involved. But I will continue to heap praise on those that are! Thank you all! P.s. please somebody help! I love this blog! Even the trolls lol

ReplyDeleteYeah he got kidnaped but let go. It was carretera Apatzingan - Buenavista i believe could be wrong.
DeleteHes to crazy to be on a tour through apatzingan at the moment. 15 straight days of gun battle.
All kinds of cartel fights going on in michoacan.
ReplyDeletePost Coming, thanx
DeleteYaqui Thanks for all you do bro!
ReplyDeleteSincerely Uday
Who signs their narco banners with the Michelin man?
ReplyDeleteI miss Havana.
ReplyDeleteHavana :(
ReplyDeleteHeya! All the best, Yaqui. I hope you enjoy your trip and thank you for all your hard work. 😊
ReplyDeleteAlso I am curious, am I doing something wrong? I posted a comment days ago which was not approved offering to help, and also sent Chivis 3 translated articles attached and a few questions that have yet to be answered. I assume Chivis is just insanely busy? 😅 Either way I am still happy to help!
I post several stories each week on the BB Forum and many times I see them reposted on main board a day or 2 later, but in your original message you say that you would rather have them sent to you? Maybe I misunderstand. ..when I post on the BB Forum, I translate and include photos.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what your question is. But of course posts will be from the same source. Mainpage posts 5 or 6 each day [with yaqui] and forum averages one new post
Deletesome people are prolific like Mica and LeChef but mostly people just comment. We do use some of forum posts and credit is given if no work is needed we give full credit [no google translate]
