Pre-vet workshop thread

[Katya]

I wish his buddy scott was still around , that would be my pick...I'll see what Kat says

And then there is Progg. Kent started Progg's thread... They are close.

Scottbee seems to be gone for good. He made a quick appearance a few months ago in the Burning thread but that was that. He doesn't respond to PMs anymore. So that takes care of that. Don is gone too.

Any of the above would be fine, I think. Whiskey and Kent have a history from the Pole Dancing thread; Tibs, Zelda, CES and yours truely from the Burning thread, Don and Progg from the Where is Kent thread, and then there are J0kers. It's all good, IMO.

BTW, a certain close friend of Christopher Robin's is turning 3 on May 30th. I'm being all cloak and dagger about it, of course, to avoid detection. We should decide who would want to start her thread and whether we are going to add the name to the list or not (if we do, we kill the surprise).

Kat your are in charge of picking "Cloaked" starter

[TomCatt]

off-topic question for mr catt - do you see any way to query the data base as to the number of supporting members?
just idle curiosity on my side ..........

Nope ; but that means nothing . Probably not from a 'member' access level. I just use the Member List - advanced search to get the 'selection list'.

 

[tiburonfirst]

for tomorrow morning

PMs notifying PreVets that they are approaching veteran status will not be sent out. Members must make it to the PreVet thread on their own, or with the help of a friend.

Please read the First Post in the PreVet thread for additional information.

[whiskey]

Atty I edited a few things in my pm , as this is an open forum & can be read by any one...
I was looking for you to post your suggestions to themes LOL

 

[AttyPops]

Read it now whiskey (above). OK?

lol. You can ignore my last PM about "is the thread public?"

 

[whiskey]

How about I delete...there are a few other things I think are questionable and you start over with a suggestion.

 

[whiskey]

Okay you can start over Atty...I'll check this as soon as I sign in in the morning...Night folks

 

[AttyPops]

We need to discuss themes a bit or something.

try suggesting themes more often...or give them a list???

Good idea. People sometimes have trouble picking themes.
How about monthly theme suggestions. Favorite movie for May, Favorite type of music for June, Favorite form of transportation for July, Favorite style of cooking for August ......but just suggestions. OR maybe just change FAQs to include a list of possible topics "if you can't think of anything".

Edited for public discussion with whiskey's permission from our PM's.

 

[tiburonfirst]

oh, goody! atty finally made his way to the very public workshop!

and i'm off! laterzzzz!

 

[AttyPops]

lol. No fair Tibby... she set me up! And I think we were both editing at the same time too. lol. So my changes didn't "stick" because she saved hers over mine. Anyway. Thoughts?

(Totally joking. My bad. Fixed above. I should have looked 1st.)

 

[tiburonfirst]

atty, we don't direct them to the faqs anymore! we're back to simple! and the only one, so far, still having a theme pending is djbish. our main concern now is to get the prevets to us.
when you get a minute, go through the back pages here and look for catt's may and june list. anybody on there you know send an invitation pm!

 

[Katya]

[Edited out.]

The problem isn't the theme, but the pictures we post. I've seen a lot of rather questionable images for very innocent themes like "Chevelle" or "Cowboys"...

When I turned, I loved the bird pictures everyone was sporting and I wouldn't have wanted a movie theme... It's their day. We post pictures to make them happy, not to amuse ourselves.

Just my

 

[CES]

Should we suggest actual themes or give ideas about how to come up with themes? I agree that people need some assistance, but suggest that the assistance help them find a way to choose something meaningful to them....I'd hate to have it turn into checking something off a list. People have been amazingly creative about their themes and I'd hate to lose that.

something that makes you smile?
what are your hobbies, interests?
What are your favorite things? pets, critters, movies, TV shows, cartoons?
do you want it to be funny or silly?

 

[tiburonfirst]

yep - and the censored 'cowboy' pictures didn't show any more than the 'cowgirls and cars'
anyhow, we should stick to what's requested and provide suggestions only if we're asked ......
i'm looking forward to all the themes coming up

 

[AttyPops]

I agree that sometimes the pics get close to "pushing the limit". The moderators will step in if necessary and it is an 18+ board, so it's a tough one. However, that's an additional (and valid) topic of disucssion.

The "list" is more about helping those that haven't come up with a theme have suggestions. CES's examples are good. Now, how do we communicate them effectively?

 

[AttyPops]

BTW, I wasn't saying that it HAD to be movies, or whatever. Only "things to consider" or "this month's default theme is _____"

We copy and paste what CES wrote in her post above and add it to the list. Verbatim!

And now I have to run. Dinner!

but atty, i haven't seen anybody struggling coming up with a theme - we have only one theme pending .....

 

[CES]

Do we know when people are having a difficult time coming up with a theme? I haven't noticed it so much, but I'm not around all the time

My guess is that we ask them questions, talk to them and as we get to know them we can help them refine any ideas they might have. that's what we've done in the past when people haven't known what to choose. Alternatively, when someone answers the invitation or comes by the thread, we let them know that we'll help them work out a theme if they get stuck.



(BTW, none of the people I've pm'd have responded so far )
