Bios: WhereRWe? has a good point regarding jealous cachers:mad:. If we were to include bios into the Newsletter, I would advocate for my suggestion above:): To create a separate forum thread called Biographies, or to use the Articles forum, and have cachers develop their own biographies (ok so that would be an autobiography!:p). In rare cases, for cachers who don't like to write, but who have a background they want to share, as the Newsletter editor I'd be willing to interview them by phone or email to write up a biography:cool:. Then these threads would be highlighted in the Newsletter like Hot Topics are. I would include all bios posted, I would never deter folks from posting bios, and I would welcome anyone to contact me about writing a bio for them or even just reviewing a bio before they post it if that's what they'd like:). This way, they are in control of who gets mentioned, not me or the Board:rolleyes:.
Milestones: When someone mentioned a milestone in a thread, I used to include it in the Newsletter. Then it appeared that we were choosing whose milestones to include in the Newsletter and excluding cachers:(; despite my arguement that we could just post how it was, we decided the simplest solution was to take out the Milestone section all together, because I nor the Board were interested in tracking ALL milestones:p. Which in the end was great with me because it made more room for other sections of the newsletter:D. The bios should not end up like the Milestones:), because people will write them about themselves (or seek me out to write them), instead of cachers posting about others' milestones, which is how that thread mostly works:p.
Kapeesh? Other thoughts?:confused:
