Avatars, is there a certain dimension we are supposed to use? And is that a paid member thing or no?

Admin · 11-18-2009, 07:29 PM

Custom avatars (like a Kermit one

) are available to paid members

but yes, they need to be no larger than 100x100.

I was thinking it might be 'nice' to have a button whereby one could donate even the smallest amount in recognition of a certain event - birthdays, anniversaries, the passing of exams, or simply something good happening out of the blue - to go towards a specific purpose (covering the registration fee, for example, of someone deserving who would like to attend the reunion but who for financial reasons would be hard pressed to do so without some help?)

Apart from anything else, if the reason were displayed for all to see, I think it would help us all in terms of feeling even more connected.

Thoughts?

julieisafemme · 11-19-2009, 09:26 AM

I love that idea. That feels like a community.

Well, what made me think about it was my son passing his driving test the other day. It's custom in the Middle East (we lived there for years) to pass out sweets to neighbours and friends when something good happens and it made me kind of sad that we had no one close by to do that with. So I got to thinking, what if there were a way I could pass out virtual sweets? I guess I could have simply made a small donation but I wanted to share the reason I was happy as well as the actual 'sweets'...

Make sense?

I like that. Would these be for a specific user's "trust fund" or a general pool "trust fund"?

No, a general trust fund Linus.

I just think it would be really nice to know when one was donating that it was going toward a specific purpose (the example I used, i.e., the reunion, being a cause particularly dear to my own heart. Everyone should get to go to the reunion and I just hate the idea that for some people, some really good people, it might not be doable for financial reasons.)

But you know what, coming to think of it...perhaps we could have several funds. You know, I would like to donate to a. b., or c. Yes? No? Maybe?

I'm back! This is all so cool.

So I posted pictures and they are HUGE, I want to see myself less clearly. eeeeekkkkkk Where is the delete button for the galleries, I have seen it mentioned, but I just can't find it. So sorry.

and

Are there terms of service with what we can and can't do? Rules? that sort of thing?

Thank you also for how quickly and graciously you are handling things! I know we are high maintenance.

Hey you...

When I open up one of my pictures, along the top pink bar and over to the far right is a drop-down called Photo Options. When I click on that, I get a drop-down menu and can select Edit Photo. The delete option is in there.

Hey Words!

I really resonate with you on helping people get to the Reunion. Lemme do some thinking on it on how the best way to do this will be and we can either put up a donate button going to a specific account for those causes or we can figure out something else.

We will DEFINITELY be taking a hard look at our finances here on the site around Reunion time to see what kind of scholarships the site can provide from the remaining funds. We, of course, want to pay our server fees first and will probably have to come up with most of our deposits in cash since we have no credit as a site to book events yet.

We do have a strong, non-negotiable commitment as Admins of this site to see that every single dollar that comes into this site will go back to support the community in one form or another. That means that we might pay the server fees, upgrade the software, hardware, pay for any needed tech support, Reunion costs, and an emergency fund.....and that when we have ANY money left over, we will look at ways to scholarship people to the Reunion, give grants to artists and writers, or help send folks to conferences.

This isnt a business to us, its a community, and I would probably die of joy if we were able to do a low-cost Reunion and also scholarship several folks...and for folks who didn't want to attend the Reunion, we can work at other ways of supporting their passions.

I cant WAIT to see this community grow!

XO!
