Local Forum / Club Chapters / Divisions and "The Global Grenadiers"

I like that. A troop of Grenadiers

I guess nobody picked up on 'division' the independently in the field autonomy strikes a chord with me. But chime in with thoughts and once we get them all together we can have a vote or some such thing.

Division​

A division is made up of three infantry, cavalry or armoured brigades. Divisions are usually equipped to operate independently in the field, and have a full complement of supporting reconnaissance, artillery, engineers, medical, supply and transport troops.

@Stu_Barnes, love the idea. @emax laughed or scolded me when I brought this up a year ago. Maybe I live in the future. Anyways, I vote for Brigade since it ties in nicely with how Grenadier we're designated. It is also abbreviated, sorry @Jean Mercier as GB which ties nicely into Great Britain. In the end, I will go with any answer as long it is Brigade.

You really like your birds. I always get a kick out of calling a group of crows, murder. Talk about leaning into your Edgar Allen Poe and focus on the macab. I get it they are associated with dead bodies but still.

I definitely don't agree with GB.
On the other hand, swap it, Brigade Grenadier, therefore BG, then I can remember more easily the abbreviation: Belgian Grenadier

Division works. We could also use District -- North American District, European District, etc. I don't much mind what we call them but do echo that "Chapters" has been coopted by the biker types and may not be a good look.

@Stu_Barnes if you need someone to help out on the moderation side, I've managed communities of one manner or another my whole career and I'd be happy to step up for North America/Canada (or the western bits of said areas since it looks like the East is already covered).

@Stu_Barnes

I don't post often, but thank you for all of the work you are putting into this community. Obviously, your modeling paved the way for suggestions and adjustments. I appreciate you and those brave souls that volunteer to moderate the sub forums.

Great time to be alive.

Headed back to the Ram forums now.

I don't know how I feel about "Global", but seems appropriate to the group.

At least "Globetrotters" wasn't chosen, hehe.

 

[Mossy Ineos Grenadier TX]

Love the idea of local forums.

As I was reading through the responses and forming my opinion on the global and local structure, I realized that I needed to back up and get some foundational questions answered first. And at risk of hijacking this thread, I'll list them below. Happy to start a new thread or quiet down if these have been addressed elsewhere...please let me know!

Is this forum officially recognized/endorsed by Ineos?​

How do forum users view the role of Ineos both at the higher corporate level and then at the dealership level, as they relate to this forum. Do members welcome their interaction and want more of it, or is this truly by the people, for the people? If it's welcome, what is the best way to facilitate it?​

Is there any direct link to their corporate team - do they post updates or press releases directly to the forum, or have active contributing users/members, or maybe offline feedback/communication with forum top brass?​

The grenadier guards are a regiment.
Grenadier and regiment are old French words , and where is the factory? Not quite in Belgium . However "Regiment" would have global appeal, unless perhaps you lived in China.

 

[rovie]

Please ask @emax for moderation of a german forum.
I think he has the knowledge and enthusiasm to do it.

..and above all the time.

 

[Lollo050968]

I really like the global/one world spirit of the forum. Following @Jean Mercier former post: I learn every day something new of english language.
I like CLUSTER , modern, non military and descripes that we are all part of something big.

But at least we have the spare parts warehouse of the Grenadier in Belgium

Which you won't be needing , because the vehicle was designed by Germans

I think german speaking people in Austria (Graz)

Unusual that the only two spare parts warehouses in the world are in Belgium and Melbourne Australia.
I assume they will eventually have one in North America, probably Canada

 

[Wayneos]

Please stop calling them Chapters
That what bikie groups call each location

For all the Dune fans, The Greni Gesserit....

 

[Tazzieman]

I knew someone would spot that!
When Ineos launched the project they said they had engaged "200 German engineers".
Whether they crossed the border into Austria or not is anyone's guess...

A Troop of Grenadiers is perfect in my view!
