The Weekly Challenges

Post by gimp80995 »

Well we've all had about two months now to test it out..........what are your thoughts? Do you like the weekly challenges? Do you want to see them keep going? Or would you rather not have them?

All I ask is that you vote honestly (you'll notice this is one of the few polls I have ever made that doesn't have a goof-ball choice). If the majority like them and want them to continue, then it's totally woth my time to come up with them.........but if the majority don't like them, then it's kinda wasting people's time to have them.

Peace Out

So far more people are voting no than yes (though I honestly expected more voting than 5 ppl), so for now the Weekly Challenges is going to be taking a break.

*goes away to think up new ideas in case they come back in the future*

My problem is:

I never remember to come look for them and I don't remember to do them after I've read it! I even print them out sometimes!

Maybe when / if I do start it up again I could have people who want to participate "subscribe" for it and send them out via PM. That way people don't have to remember to check here............and it wouldn't be inturrupting users who really would rather not do them.......

If they're just posted here, those who don't read them aren't really being interrupted, IMO--nobody's forced to click on them. But if you're talking about interruption as in taking up space on the page, then maybe (just as a suggestion) you could ask Shadowpaw to have the challenges combined into one thread. Then you could add a new post for each week's challenge, and the people who want to comment about a challenge could post their thoughts that week, and the next week you could add a new post for that next week's challenge, etc.

I like the idea of them getting sent by private message to the people that want them. I enjoy them but I usually forget to read them.

Maybe you could do both, like people who want them sent on pm would subscribe, but post it anyway for people to see and talk about them.
just an idea :anxious:

Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said, 'goodbye.' And you were like, 'no, wait.' And then I was all, 'we pretended we were going to murder you.' That was great...

Gimp,

Although at the moment, the "yes" votes are leading...I don't think this should be a majority rules type vote...

If you have 10 or more people interested in doing it (in my opinion even just 5), then it is worth your while.

Let me give you an example...not everyone would benifit from a youth group at a church...demographically speaking...only 15-20% of the church congregation would be in the right age group.

So do we not have a youth group, because 80% of the people can't or don't want to participate?

That's my 2 cents on the matter.

And if you do decide to go ahead with them, PM me...and we will talk about a things I am thinking about to make your life easier when it comes to posting them.
