MOD CHAT!:D

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Sounds good! Thanks Meiyu :D

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

I wish I were going to bed right now!! Goodnight Meiyu.

[Rachel, The Overseer]

Hey Can we cut back on the making of topics? If we make a few more general categories it will cut down on people having to browse so much for the topic they want. Thanks!

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

From what I've seen though is that adding lots of threads spurs more conversation. The broad and general topics are at the top of the group
and the more specific detailed threads are at the bottom. It's by design!

[Rachel, The Overseer]

That's a great Idea I see that now! :) Thanks Rachel.

[Chantae]

What type of things should we post under important announcements?

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Any important announcements XD

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

lets discuss some modly things here!

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

So...

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

not telling ;)

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

:)

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

you can add a title!

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

hey what days in April should we have the BOTM? I'm thinking it should be two or three days but what days of the week? A friday and a saturday? friday, saturday, sunday? Thoughts?

[onceuponatimeareview, The Musical One]

Yeah weekends aren't as busy with some people.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

sounds good!

[[deleted user]]

I agree!

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

well you'll just have to work your way back up to 800 XD

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

You're one comment closer XD

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

now three :D

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Hey how should we get people to start asking more questions on the Q&As?

[onceuponatimeareview, The Musical One]

Maybe if the people read the books they will know about what question to ask?

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

yeah, I'll make both "The Winner's Curse" and "All Our Yesterdays" books of the month

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

I think we should have a folder where people can make their own personal thread and keep track of things in there. What should we call it? Some people call them lockers... Any ideas?

[onceuponatimeareview, The Musical One]

I love those sometimes though feel people make them and don't use them. Or a selected few use them.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

hmm... so don't bother?

[onceuponatimeareview, The Musical One]

It depends. I think it's a great way to keep your challenges and buddy reads together for each group.

This really off topic but I had this idea.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

ok shoot?

[onceuponatimeareview, The Musical One]

So how about if we did this thing where group members ask questions about the mods .

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

that would be cool! :)

[onceuponatimeareview, The Musical One]

Yeah I was thinking over about it at the doctors today.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

haha always a great time to think XD

[onceuponatimeareview, The Musical One]

Yeah I know

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Hey, I'd like to start three new things in the group

I saw these things in Crazy for Young Adult Books and thought it would be fun to use them in this group:

1 - a Monthly Page Count

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

2 - Top Reads (Monthly Recap)

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

3 - Scavenger Hunts

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

[onceuponatimeareview, The Musical One]

Those are really cool ideas

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Hmm... maybe we should assign mod duties.

I think our main priority should be to entice more participation. Any ideas on what to add to get more participation? And I'd like to do something to celebrate our reaching 1,000 members. Any ideas on what we should do?

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Hannah wrote: "Hmm can always do a challenge to read 1,000 pages. Not l like everyone working together to reach it but everyone who wants to participate needs to read 1,000 pages to finish the challenge. Can even..."

I like that! I made the challenge :)

Any more ideas for celebrating 1,000?

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

So I don't know what to do exactly...

We have tons of threads and games where people comment and keep participating. I want some new things/features though that will make people want to participate.

Do you know of any thread or challenge ideas that people seem to like and participate in? I'm hesitant to add tons of challenges because I don't want this group to be challenge-based. Maybe we could add one more challenge. Any ideas?

We have the Book Pool Challenge but one more would be nice.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

For right now we don't have too much for duties and stuff...

For the longest time it was basically just me doing everything XD

Ok so here is what I usually do:
Book Pool Challenge Sign-ups
Polls & Poll Invites
New Threads
Messages
Commenting (a lot) and Welcoming People

(this group doesn't need that much maintenance)

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Ok that would be great!

Are there any challenges that you do in other groups that you really like doing, and it seems that lots of people participate in?

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Haha ok well do you think you could establish, start, and run those two challenges in this group?

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Sounds great! And I'm always messing around with the organization of the group and the topics. Do you like it?

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

haha yeah this group has 70+ folders XD

We have an archives folder that just doesn't appear on the homepage :)

[Rachel, The Overseer]

OK so looking good everyone! Back from school vaca so I'll be back on more now. Thanks for taking care of the group. Any concerns yall need to notify me of?

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Nope I think we're all good Elle! ;)

The winner of the mod hunger games was Cheyenne (Once Upon A Time) and I added Hannah a few weeks ago. Just today I added Kitty. Cheyenne is super-active. Hannah is great with organizing challenges. Kitty has great ideas and always puts 110% in her modding positions.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Hey mods!

So June 5th is our groups one year anniversary!! I'd like to do a or a few big things to celebrate. Any ideas?

[onceuponatimeareview, The Musical One]

Maybe we could like have a birthday party but I don't know how we would do that.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Yeah I have no idea what to do!

[onceuponatimeareview, The Musical One]

Maybe a Read A Thon?

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Sorry how does that work exactly?

I think one thing we could do is a scavenger hunt with celebratory words in it like "cake, party, confetti, etc.." where people read books and catalogue when and where they find these works in their books.

[Rachel , The Attentive One]

Here's what the scavenger hunt would look like: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
