Oh gotcha! Makes sense they are retired then.
Oh wow! That's a long time since you've used public transport then.

So Misha bday is in August, and we haven't done special titles at the board this years. Would you like to do special titles for his bday?

albion_princess

Thanks, although my dad also did a bit of work before he ended up getting registered partially sighted.

I know, but I hadn't need to use public transport as I live close to the town centre and could walk to the shops that I needed to. I also wasn't visiting my parents or friend due to the lockdown.

Yes, that sound like a great idea.

JDM's❤︎Sweetheart

Gotcha, that all makes sense!

Ok awesome! I think for a bday celebration, we get individual titles. So gotta think of one! I'll post a bday prep thread, that way those who want to join us for titles, can post there.

albion_princess

Thanks.

Great.

Hopefully I can think of something.

I also hope that everyone is having a good weekend.

I'm exhausted, had a bad storm last night that kept me up. Lead to a migraine!

So I was gonna ask you, how do you feel about doing an "in board" posting challenge for the month of October? It's where you do a typical challenge, posts wise, but instead of competing against a board, you try and meet goals at your own board instead. So like say we set a post count goal of 5k or whatever we choose, organize a weekly movie or show watch, and try and start as many new threads as possible. You basically come up with your own challenges within your own board. What do you think? I'd say we could do a regular challenge, but I'm guessing most boards aren't up for challenges during this time. I can reach out to posters to see if they are wanting to join us as well. Maybe it would bring in new, or old posters as well. what do you think?

First of all I'm sorry that you had a migraine.

And I love the idea of doing an in-board posting challenge.

JDM's❤︎Sweetheart

Thank you! Feeling better today, just tired.

I'm so glad you on board with a challenge! I love in board challenges, and it's always super fun! What would you like to include in the challenge? I can jot down some ideas, and make an post about it in September, that way people can sign up to join us if they want. Is October good for you too?

albion_princess

You're welcome, and that's good to hear.

October would be great for me.

I can't think of any ideas, as I like your suggestions.

JDM's❤︎Sweetheart

Ok hmm.. here's some goal ideas. Let me know if you want me to change any, or revise them a bit.

-Our posting goal: 3,000 for the month, so 750 posts a week. unless you think we should try for something bigger like 5k?

-Finish 10 threads in the month.

-Do a weekly watch of some kind. Maybe rewatch our fave cas episodes? Come up with a top 10, and watch 2 a week or something?

-get into the top 20 on FF for our monthly rank

-generate discussion in one Misha related thread for each week.

-Give some of the ops a makeover

-A new board survivor? Or game of some kind?

albion_princess

I love those suggestions. Thanks so much for those.

I also hope you're having a good week.

JDM's❤︎Sweetheart

Is there anything you want to add or change goals wise that I have written down?

albion_princess

No, those are all great.

JDM's❤︎Sweetheart

Awesome! I'll keep a list and add to it if I think of others. I'll post a sign up thread Sept 1st! So bring me to my second question, do we want to do a special title for after the challenge? As a reward. So to be awarded in November.

albion_princess

That's great.

A special title sounds like a great idea.

I'm really looking forward to visiting my parents next week.
