Vote for the Winter 2008 RAOK Format

Kerri,

This rule is intended to keep people who may 'disappear' from tPF from signing up and then not showing back up. It has happened in past RAOK's. Also, please note that you and I joined tPF only a month apart (and Candace joined 3 months after me!) and there's a distinct difference in our post #'s. I point this out because a lot of us are very, very active here and have made friends here. Others use tPF as an authentication tool and are random users. The RAOK is a lot of fun...but requires time and effort and some dedication to the forum. The BEST part of the RAOK is watching the gals post pics of their stuff and seeing how excited they are!!! The WORST part is finding out someone has been abandoned.

Please don't be disappointed....I'm not saying you, personally, would be one of the 'absent' buddies....but by using this guideline we significantly reduce the amount of work the RAOK Angels have to do!

I'm not freaking. Just a little bummed. Plus, if I really wanted to I could "Congratulate" 200 people on their new purchases within a couple of days and bump my post count! :devil:. Don't worry, I won't really do that. It's just my silly sense of humor.

Awww Kerri, next time you will definitely be able to participate!!!!
Maybe the mods of the RAOK could (if they wanted to put in a little bit of extra time) have a supplementary thing where if you don't meet the requirements for posts, time on the forum, etc...you could write them a little something and make a bit of an effort to show them you are serious about participating. most people want to do things, but if they have to go and do something 'extra' like write, they tend to not follow through. This way it shows them you really want to be a part of the raok!!!

That would be nice, and I would definately follow through. That being said, I don't expect anyone to change the rules just for me. I totally understand why they have the rules they have and I'm willing to wait until I qualify. No big deal, I just thought it would be fun. It will still be fun seeing what everyone else gets from their RAOK pals.

Just start visiting w/ folks about their bags and start some threads of your own and by the time the Spring RAOK rolls around you'll be in no prob!
