Hey, Chops. I didn't see this suggested elsewhere, but it is something that might really help improve raid attendance. Could you add a checkbox to the the screen where you create a new calendar event that would allow us to send out email reminders to anyone who signs up? It could just send a stock message to the account keyed to that characters name in the roster saying, "You are scheduled to attend [nameofEvent] for [nameofGuild] at [scheduledtime] tonight." Or something like that.
It would be super-sweet if you could even specify how far in advance of the raid you wanted those to go out, but just being able to send an email to people the day of the event would be a wonderful feature. I think it could really help those of us who are building up to end-game get people in the habit of signing up and showing up.
Thanks! We really love our website, Chops--you are doing a great job.

Another idea around this would be to have a checkbox that allows you to get an email when someone _else_ signs up for the event.
That or add it to the alert text for those that are able to approve the signups.
