You guys are being nice, so let's go over what we've done.
It seemed like a good idea to have titles, and not just be called, 'members.'
I asked for ideas, and many of you gave good ones. But after the first few, participation was a little on the low side.
Meanwhile, Nifty said, more than once, that if we'd come to a conclusion, that'd he'd get them right up. He was completely behind us doing this, and said not to be stressed over it, and don't worry about doing all 10 some-odd titles, just manage a few to start, and he'd get right on it.
I didn't want to rush, so waited for the posts, and then when people seemed "idea'd out"
took it to the next level, and said that if you had more ideas, get them in, because we are heading for a vote.
Next step, vote on the ideas given.
Only some choices could be used in the final vote for various reasons. For example, if one was more appropriate for a higher level than #7, then it wasn't voted on. They can be filed away for the future. Some good ones were set aside, with that in mind.
So, all of the choices were ones that someone on the forum suggested. Three per level. Then we voted.
I realize that things can be thought of later, but how do you do that realistically? Do we just throw everything out, and just keep going in little spurts? How will we know when no one will have another idea? And when, then, would we vote?
Meanwhile, I really do think that Nifty wants to run with this, and, as he said, not have us stress, as nothing is ever really hewn in stone. I could be wrong, that just seemed to be what he was expressing, and it would be nice to have titles as new members joined. This is the gardening season, so there's a pretty steady flow of them right now.
Anyway, I do like some of the new ideas suggested, but also most of the ones that were voted on, which were member suggestions.
And while some from BYC are very cute, remember, most are pretty basic there, too.
New Egg vs. New Seed
Out Of The Brooder vs. Leafing Out
They may be Chillin' With Their Peeps, but hey, we are, Attractive To Bees, and spend so much time coaxing our plants, that we have now become, Garden Ornaments!
(No gnomes.....poor Oakland would have to cover his eyes to post!)
Also, when I mailed in the results of the vote, I did note subtle changes which were your suggestions, and very good ones, I thought.
Anyway, if Nifty would rather wait, and have us continue, we certainly can do that. I'm game for whatever is needed. :weight
(I love calling Nifty that!)
