Hi,
There's been some talk about how the board is really quiet so I thought I'd post some suggestions in the most popular part of the board.
- Is there a way to delete old data? It's a small change, but it might help give a new feel and just leave the first 3 or 5 pages of the For Sale items, ISO pages, etc.
- Re-start the contests? All of our collections go though cycles, so the contests could still be new. There could be something like no repeat winners for 2-3 years (such as largest collection in a pattern, etc)
- I'd be happy to help organize a Vera encyclopedia a little more featuring the retired patterns and their dates and whatever styles I can collect.
- Maybe re-vamping the parts that are like homemade items --- for trade only items a bit some how
- I fell off the ball with ordering a shirt but that might be fun, to just make a general shirt for the board with some goofy Vera slogans on the back. For instance, at the Great American Scrapbooking Convention --- there are shirts like "Oh Scrap." or "Scrap and Roll!" (They're kind of lame....haha, but still really fun.)
- Update the list of who is board leaders and what they are in charge of as well as pattern officers
- Create a section that's dedicated on how and where to find good Vera deals on the net or in local towns
- Initiate a new swap for the Fall or Winter patterns (do a swap when new patterns come out)
I really like this board. A lot more than the stuffy, way too many people Facebook one which ALWAYS has drama somehow someway. I'll be honest that I don't really care about new members as much as not losing contact with the current ones. Yall are a great group of women who are really fun and I miss hearing about your husbands in the war, your babies, your toddlers doing funny things, that pesky mother-in-law or even what other brands you are starting to like besides Vera. I like this community, I really want the board to be active again. I'll help any way I can.
Miss yall,
Kate
