It was a blast to throw the love around; however, they are starting to take over the board. Can we please let it settle down a bit before we post more? Thanks so much. And I appreciate you ALL!

Just in time! I was running out of sincerity! Seriously, even though I truly do appreciate everyone who was nominated for an appreciation thread with so many threads going on all at once it was getting pretty difficult to continue to come up with a sincere statement for each one!

Well...
I'm guessing that there won't be one for me. Because I'm an ******* who hates his city and the teams that play there.:(

LOL...same here, except I LOVE my city's sports teams (well, almost all of them!) Plus, what's a 'Doodyville', anyways? Never heard of the place. :confused: :eek:

I agree that they are good, but too many at once keep us from discussing
other things on this board

It's nice to do one or two but lately there has been an overkill of appreciation threads.

Why not just create a forum just for the appreciations?

I never got one! :crybaby:
OK, I did awhile back, but I had to share it with the other Kristen.

I'm really sick of them. It's just a big popularity contest.

I keep asking for that sticky. Same thing with the birthday threads, it's just overkill.

birthday threads aren't that bad, personally, I look forward to my birthday thread every year :D
But these random appreciation threads are just silly.

Everybody gets a birthday thread if you have the birthdate in your profile. If you don't want one then take it out.

i agree. i've gotten a birthday thread every year since my 13th and it's become a tradition to read through them. i think janice posts them for all active members here, so it's not a matter of favoritism or anything.
i really don't think it was a good idea to overload the board with so many appreciation threads at once. it makes people look left out, and others (like me) may feel guilty/uncomfortable responding to only some of them because it makes it look like they appreciate some people and not others. when they're more spread out, there isn't so much comparison.

The birthday threads are tradition. That's probably not going to change. I think most members greatly appreciate them.

Sarah, it was a one time, sort of goofy thing. Everyone is appreciated here, and I think most everyone's had an Appreciation thread at one time or another. It won't happen again. Nobody has to feel obligated to post in them. I guess I see it different. I appreciate when a thread is made for me, but I never ever feel bad if one is not. That may be not be my time, the next may be my time. I don't read a lot into it, and I hope others don't.

I personally wouldn't want a separate forum for the birthday threads. I like the tradition and I don't think we have too many of them.
Have you taken your birthdate out of your profile?

I also like the birthday tradition the way it is, too. Undoubtedly I miss many of them, because at various times of the year I don't post for weeks or months at a stretch. Just because I may not post on all the b-day threads doesn't mean I don't wish the person a happy birthday; it's just that I've missed it, unless I know the person fairly well and have their b-day already back of my mind. I think we all do the best we can in wishing b-days, even if we do miss some here and there. But yeah, I don't see a need to have a separate birthday thread either.
I'm purposely not posting on anyone's appreciation threads - it's not that I don't appreciate you guys, I :heart: you all - but these are really getting ridiculous. I don't want to post on some and not on others - so just everybody know Liza appreciates you and let that be an end to it :wave:

I agree, I like the people here but I don't post in those threads and plus, there's people who don't even get any appreciation threads too.

I know I appreciate mine when it rolls around each year. ;)

I love the birthday post tradition. If you don't want your birthday acknowledged, then just don't post it in your profile.
And I'm still waiting for my own appreciation thread! ;)

Very true. I never have :(
Well I don't really mind. I think Janice remembers the year she forgot my birthday and I posted my own birthday thread to complain about it! :lol:
Sarah, it was a one time, sort of goofy thing. Everyone is appreciated here, and I think most everyone's had an Appreciation thread at one time or another.
Not true, unfortunately. Many people have been overlooked. Heck, I've been here eight years and never had one! Now it doesn't bother me particularly, but I can understand others being a bit peeved by it.

That's me, too, and I feel the same way.;)
