I had another idea along the same lines. Instead of doing one thread a week, we could do all of them during the first week and then let them ride out for the rest of the month. A month long thread could get pretty long but it was just another idea that I had!
TTC #1 since August 2013 DX: Endo November 2014: Hysteroscopy, D&C June - September 2015: Clomid + Novarel + IUI #1-3 January 2017: Laparoscopy - endo removed
Week 1 - Bitchfest/Twatwaffles/WTF or whatever you want to call it Week 2 - Thankfuls Week 3 - UOs Week 4 - Confessions Week 5 - Rotate between Furbabies, Never Have I Ever, Irrational Irritations, etc.
I was also trying to think of fun threads that we used to do in the past or ones that we've talked about doing like a 'Where are they now?' thread. I feel like the board is just randoms and WTO/TWW threads anymore.

Meh. No strong feelz on this. But I don't like change, lol
Me neither, haha. But on the other hand I feel like we could use a change around here. I kind of like the idea of doing them on their designated days during the first week and then letting them go on throughout the rest of the month.

I don't generally participate in the UO or FFFC, so I don't honestly care what we do. But I do feel like when someone wants to start a thread they should be able to start it. If someone's having a bad day and wants a bitch thread to feel better, I don't feel like should have to look at a schedule to see if they're "allowed" to start one. Not that I think anyone is going to flame someone for starting a thread a different week than the schedule says, but I'm just saying. I think whatever we do should be flexible. Just my two cents for what it's worth.
Eta: After re-reading this I feel like it didn't really come across how I meant it. I just mean that I don't think the schedule should be super strict. I want any newbies that may join the board feel like they can start threads if they want.

kayladawn91 I get what you're saying and I agree. I'm just trying to come up with ways to keep these threads alive. I guess what we need is more people!

If anyone wants to start the weekly GoT thread, you're welcome to. I'm usually too excited and not patient enough for someone to start one.

Yeah I get it! And I agree with you too! I was just mentioning it mostly because a strict schedule can be confusing and I like flexibility. And I agree, new people need to come play!!
I had 2 confessions for today. I'll never remember next month.
This is the point I was trying to make. I feel like if someone has a good confession on a Friday they should be able to start the thread without worrying about messing up a schedule. Even if we had one last week. If it will get conversation rolling, isn't that what we all want?
We need to get people back into posting random polls and GTKY threads. And random shit they find on the interwebs. Keeping everything in the randoms threads gets boring.

but does 1 or 2 confession only justify a whole thread? But...I guess I can do whatever I want!
Only one way to find out if other people have things to say, too! Not like starting a thread is going to make for LESS conversation around here.

What about some sort of story time thread? It would have to be sporadic and just whenever someone actually had a story to tell (good, bad, funny, whatever) but that could be a lot of fun if encouraged. W used to be great at telling stories.
Am I making sense? I have no idea how, or if, it would even work. I just like people to tell me stories.

I agree. Those are some of my favorite types of threads...like the lost hamster?! A GKU classic.

YES! I need more of that in my life. Someone needs to figure out how to make this happen!

I almost started a thread similar to this. Not because I had a story but because I wanted to hear others' stories about a specific topic on my mind. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow and hopefully get some conversation rolling. I'm always nervous about starting threads on things I think are interesting because I feel like there will be zero response. Lol

I think as long as you're not habitually starting threads that piss people off, there's no harm in starting a thread. If everyone is nervous to start threads then we just stick to the same three boring threads every day!
Like the other night my dishwasher was leaking all over the floor, I found two ants, and my disposal stopped working in the same hour. I was a fucking hot mess.
