Weekly Thread Starters Sign Up

edited September 2020 in February 2021 Moms
Now that some of us are half way through our pregnancies (!!!), I figured it's time to have people officially sign up for the weekly threads that are started. I've been doing a few since the beginning and have no problem continuing. Hopefully this will decrease the multiple same posts by multiple people (not the multiple threads due to the wonkiness of The Bump lately!). Re-post the original and write your user name next to the thread you'd like to be in charge of, or already have been starting.

    I guess I don’t know why they need to be assigned. I’ve always been apart of boards where if the thread wasn’t started that day, it was fine for anyone to start it.

    @mdfarmchick I know we talked about it way back at the beginning of this board. It helps reduce the amount of multiple posts of the same topic. I know this board is pretty quiet compared to my past BMB, but there’s still multiple posts from different ppl happening. Just for organization purposes!

    I feel like you are directing this specifically at me because you posted HDBD after I did and I stepped on your toes. If this is what the majority wants, fine but I don’t understand how it’s a problem to look and if something isn’t posted that you have to contribute to for the day, to post. And if a multiple post shows up, then go ahead and change the extra one to a GIF party or GTKY.

    I’m not! Please don’t take it that way  :) I’m hoping that in doing this, there might be more consistent activity/accountability on the board. Especially because we’re half way/almost half way through our pregnancies.

    @mdfarmchick and @szwill86 the way we did it in F19 (and it worked really well) was that someone would be the regular person to start a thread so that it wouldn't be forgotten and there would be structure, especially for the threads that are more organized, like the product recommendation thread that follows a set list of what the topics will be each week. But if anyone logged in and saw that a thread wasn't started yet, they could go ahead and start it themselves. That could be something we adopt here. Kind of a hybrid of sorts. I think having the structure is good, but also like the flexibility of allowing anyone to start one of the weekly threads (or a random GTKY fun thread). Once we moved to FB, it was whoever was up for the day first would start the randoms thread, HDBabyD, and checkup checkin threads.

    I'll happily sign up for the weekly randoms. I'm Alaska timezone, so I'm still up and about when the east coast is in the wee hours of the morning. I can start the weekly randoms before I go to bed on Sunday which is Monday for most of the people here (my 10PM bedtime is 2AM ET). I have a ton of memes I can use for it. LOL

    I can also sign up for the UO, since I love that thread.

    @hannahbananas11 I like your thoughts/suggestions! That’s why I don’t mind starting all the threads I already do, bc I’m usually up by 6am EST. If I do forget, it’s usually not too much later after I get to work that I remember. Weekly randoms and UO is all yours!
