Among other places, the campout was promoted on:

* the Hammerskin Nation forum, the primary communications outlet for the Hammerskins bonehead (racist "skinhead") organization;
* the eNationalist forum, associated with Nordwave: The Voice of National Socialism; and
* the Vanguard News Network forum, another clearinghouse for neo-Nazi news, opinion and gossip.
While the campout itself was small, it represented an attempt to draw together fragmented tendencies within the white supremacist subculture, and to unite them into a stronger regional movement. The event was an attempt to build momentum for neoNazi organizing, albeit a meager one. We believe that such efforts have no place in our communities and should be stamped out at an early stage.
