Cambrian House
This is just something we're trying to avoid in advance, instead of saying after the fact "gee we really wish you hadn't done that".
We're just throttling the intake so we're not overwhelmed as things pop up.
Cool. I never even got the points and the new conversion scale makes me feel richer.
I guess that other topic complaining about their PR skills was wrong.
dang the short list!
when will the 6"3 members get their invite?!
anyway awesome news, can't wait to take a peek at the new site!

Hey Brenden, I know there's a concern we haven't yet communicated to all alpha invitees.
VenCorps wants to keep this quite private at the moment. So discussing overall impressions is fine, but (at the opposite end of the spectrum), posting screenshots, they (and we) definitely don't want.
Our FAQ has just been updated to reflect new VenCorps point bonuses offered for your Cambros and GPs, and I know Will Pate is posting new pertinent content on his blog.
For those members already affected by incorrect VenCorps points calculations, I'll be correcting their VenCorps account shortly.
We're totally finding glitches as this first batch goes forward, and we're improving our code and messaging to reflect that.
I don't expect you'll see a comprehensive list of invitees here, its sort of their business (the invitees) whether or not they want to share. But I can tell you its a short list, but for the amount of insight its offered, its plenty big enough.

I'd also like to clarify that I didn't mean the members in the first invite batch were short. Honestly, its not a reflection of your height. We don't even know how tall most of you are, as we removed the "height" field from our profile back during the transition from CH1 to CH2.

Gord I was not asking for screen shots, I was asking for general impressions... What is it like, what dose it feel like... these types of things.

I don't think we'll all get invited, will we? Don't have to answer. I think you'd be in your right to do that. Right and smart, actually. "I woulddn't belong to a club that would have me as a member", to quote Marx. Groucho, that is.

Interesting, I did not make the short list; even being in the top three active members of this site. That or my email client simply lost the email.

I got an invite and I haven't use CH in over a year.
I keep asking them how to delete accounts but hear no reply. Should I start posting screenshots?

Tagertux is gone from CH. Whether or not he remains on VenCorps won't be up to me!

Moogy, I just fired off your invite. Sorry your account was overlooked. If anyone else reading this is missing a migration invitation let me know I'll send off or re-send a migration email.
We've got a Gwabs launch deadline which made a delightful sound as it rushed past. I'll clean up CH once we've got Gwabs under control. Not clean up as in fun and exciting and active, but clean up so the redirections to chaordix, vencorps and gwabs are clear.
Thanks to JelmerBV for updating me whenever there's spam. Our CH monitor screen has been repurposed as a green screen for shooting Gwabs video. While spam on CH doesn't impact any of our processes, its sort of a matter of principle to delete those spam posts once in a while.
Its funny I was shopping for a used iPhone on Craigslist and I suspect some of the posts were made by similar spammers. Not a single Craigslist ad I responded to about iPhones responded back to me. (Not that the listings looked identical, but I was trying to figure why someone would advertise a phone but not respond to inquiries... maybe they just wanted to collect contact info to direct more spam to.) (eBay worked well though. Oh Android G1... you haven't quite nailed it yet. I'll be eagerly awaiting a G2.)
With the North American economy slowing down, I hope one day to appeal to Nigerians for financial assistance.
