Help Make Our Birthday Feature

[DanQ]

On July 26th, this website will turn 9 years old. We want to celebrate with you as always, but we're also looking for some assistance!



If you have an idea for our birthday feature, and just as if not more critically are able to help out, please detail your suggestions and participation offers below. Thanks in advance.

We're looking for constructive suggestions.

Your original reply had a note about maintenance... not sure why you eliminated it, but it was a constructive note. On that front there is work behind the scenes -- more on that a later time.

I suggest an Apolyton Reunion. Members try to contact old friends and get them to return on a specific day or week. You could try it out for the 9th; if it works you could do it up big for the 10th.

[DrSpike]

I suggest a ban amnesty for the entire day.

How about a treasure hunt across Poly.


9 clues as to the location of 9 newly inserted Words (in very Large Bold, all 9 words re arranged to make a sentence, celebrating Poly birthday) in the edited first posts of threads.

Can you edit posts in archived threads? If not then use current ones.
PM solutions to DanQ or Rah or Ming.
First nine get reward ( teeshirt?) special title?
Second nine get whatever tba, PC 200+?
and maybe a third nine level of reward PCR

I think we should celebrate with an uberdeity title for those with 25,000 posts or more.

[Zoid]

You'd like that. Wouldn't you?

Hercules, the treasure hunt is an excellent idea IMO. They would have to be easy to find though. But not too easy

[ZEE]

i think something along the lines of a free special user-title giveaway contest. Similar to the Apolyton Sage contest that Zoid above so proudly displays as one of the victors of.

And, if so, I will be the first to nominate myself for candidacy

I don't know what you mean - it was a selfless suggestion for the good of the site.

I wholeheartedly agree. I suggest "Sad bastard"

Good suggestion. I'm soon deity myself, I need something to look at as impossible to reach once again.

That's what they are going to rename regular deity.

[Provost Harrison]

If that is so, they should restore the post count I would've had!
