Gotta make sure you have all your trademark paperwork covered. Do you need a link?

good because until you do, your name is still available to be taken!

Also, what are you now if you were the new jersey ghostbusters?

ā€œThe Old Jersey Ghostbustersā€

Hello there, Richard from GBNJ (ā€œdirector of operationsā€) here. I’m just seeing this thread a year+ later. Bill may be a member on this forum, if I’m taking a guess he comes home from work (not about to quote Ghostbusters) and hides his computer. :stuck_out_tongue: He’s pretty much in charge of our dormant franchise site and truthfully I haven’t talked to him in a long time. Not sure what the deal is with his contact information. I pay the hosting bills, the accounts should still be valid. It’s possible something could have changed i’m not aware of.

I hope to talk with him in the near future. I’ll try to find out. My GBNJ email may have been set up with a forwarding email to a defunct email I had to change when I moved in 2009. I can be reached at [email protected] for non GBI ā€œbusiness.ā€

Out to respect to Bill, I’d like to ā€œclearā€ it with him, the site could use a good spring cleaning. Now that I’m pretty much settled from Essex County to Ocean County I wouldn’t mind expanding the ā€œfranchise.ā€

Proton: Not sure how old you are, if you’re still interested in a Monroe Township, it’s probably possible. I could be wrong, I’m not aware of many fans in Essex, Union, or Middlesex counties. Especially those who might want to start a ā€œfranchise.ā€

I live in Edison (Middlesex), haven’t really done much research on the subject but I would love to be a part of a franchise in the immediate area. My E-mail is [email protected] if anyone wants to get the ball rolling on starting up a franchise or if anyone is recruiting. Thanks!

why not a jersey franchise with regional chapters??

That’s what Bill and I were doing when I lived in Essex County and he was, well is in Burlington County. As I previously noted in the early 2000s there was a ā€œfranchiseā€ in Manalapan. When the Manalapan guys moved on (really never knew what happened) we ā€œdividedā€ up the state. Although never ā€œofficiallyā€ discussed, I would have just inferred that the other Ghostbusters NJ in South Jersey had South Jersey covered. Eventually circumstances ā€œforcedā€ my family into moving south to Ocean County. If I were to get back into it more, I wouldn’t mind trying to do something here.

If Scum or someone else in another county not really in the existing (or previous) ā€œcoverage mapā€ wants to start a franchise for there county or township (depending on the number of fans and where ā€œcoverageā€ already exists) I don’t see why not. Whenever GBNJ gets updated I don’t see why the map couldn’t be updated or we could add links to the other chapters in NJ.

Holy Crap, I’ve really been out of it for awhile…life, kinda gets in the way sometimes, oh well. Anyway, I’m Bill the head of GBNJ. Originally when Rich ā€œSpengsā€ had his own Jerzey Ghostbusters franchise I went with the Ghostbusters-New Jersey: Mercer-Burlington District (I really liked long unnecessary titles for things). So I’m down with dividing NJ into Districts, although seeing as how old this tread is, I’m probably just talking to Rich at this point and that reminds me I’m probably need to call him. Oh and Rich bone up on you Jersey Geography; Trenton is in Mercer County, Duh!

Still no Ghostbusters in Middlesex.

Bill, you know I never studied. :sigh:

ProtonCharger makes historians cry.

I wanted to stop in an introduce myself. I’m going to be coming back to the Vineland/Millville area for work for a few months. I will be there around mid May until Sept/Oct. While there, I plan on going to a few Cons in the surrounding states and D*Con Labor Day weekend. Hopefully I get to see some of you at these events or any other locals ones you may have over the summer.

If you’re in our current wet, cold Garden State, welcome!

I am. Got here last week.

Looks like the third Jersey franchise site is down. I know they’re on Twitter and pretty sure they have a FB page. I haven’t checked today, found out today there site isn’t up. Hopefully they’re still around by Cape May.

While I’m talking Jersey GB franchises, anyone here know what the Jersey Shore GB Division is about? They have a page on Facebook. It isn’t totally clear they are a franchise. I left a message, never heard back.

CaptCyan: Are you looking to start a franchise in Middlesex?
