2013 Jobs:

recreated the "For the forgetful mods" thread so it wasn't so cluttered. The old one was moved to the archive folder so if anyone needs to they can go back and look at it.

I posted the polls for november. I have them ending on the 10th. Once they end I can post a newsletter if Shell isn't able to. I'm working on setting up the december nomination threads. and taking down the october winner threads.

I would really like if we could get back to the monthly challenges even if they're small ones. Once we get them created for each month they can be archived and reused if they need to be.

I know I haven't been here a lot as of late. There's been some family issues that have needed my attention. But I'm now able to devote more time and attention here so if anyone needs help with anything let me know.

Ugh silly me. Forgot I can't do nomination threads until the winners for november are announced. geez I need more coffee!

It will be 'late' (obviously) but I'll be happy to throw something together for the monthly challenge.

I can have it done late today, and I would be happy to sign up to do the November polls when it's time (and will take down Nomination thread once I do that)

I have the polls set up to end on the 10th. I (or someone else who's willing lol) was planning on putting up the winner threads then taking down the nomination threads and setting up the december nomination threads. it's a lot lol. Honestly when I started this group I never imagined it would get this big! I'm so glad I have you guys to help! I'm also working on a december monthly challenge and a winter seasonal challenge. Once I get that done we will have all the seasonal challenges so we can just reuse them if needed.

I hope all that made sense =/ lol

So it's jiggy for me to do November Monthly challenge then?

yea sorry lol

I haven't had anything weird happen to me yet, maybe it was just a glitch?

The winners are posted tomorrow I will work on the december nomination threads and taking down the november ones. I'm too beat to get to it tonight lol

december nomination threads have been posted, I also posted the December monthly challenge. I think that means there's a lull in things to do until the newsletter and the jan. nominations need posted

lol it's okay I'm kind of making up for the long time I was not doing much of anything

Okay ladies...I am not dead! lol but my internet seems to be!!!! We have had the worse time since our move and just when I think that it is up and going and I start getting caught up it craps out again. We are changing services (AGAIN!) and I will be taking the next couple of days to get caught up on everything!!! I can't tell you how sorry I am that I have left this to you all... I have 1700 emails so it's going to take me a day or two to get all caught up but I can jump in full force for everything next month!

Dawn I can do Dec Newsletter since you did Nov (and I was supposed to do it) And it will also help me let everyone know I am back! lol jUst let me know:)

I have the newsletter all set up just waiting for the winners to be announced. If you wanna do the winner threads no one has claimed those yet

And Dawn, you're doing the Dec Monthly challenge, right?

No problem Dawn...I'm still struggling with my flippin internet (it has thrown me off 3 times today already) but I'm just going to start going to our lib if I have to. I'm done with not having internet access.

I will do the Winners Threads!

yes the december challenge is already posted for people to start getting their lists together

Hahaha, Kathy, that is a good possibility! lol

Sorry guys I was without internet for most of the week, and was busy, busy at work. Have to go in today, too

Yuck, Alana! Don't work to hard!!!

Okay so I'm doing the winner threads today correct?

Sure, why not? Sounds like a good idea to me!

If y'all can give me until early next week, I will set up new nominations threads

I have the Winner Threads up...did we not have a poll for Member of the Month? I didn't see one so I didn't set up a thread:)

Alana next week will be fine, but let me know if you just want me to do it, I owe you all big time for covering my slack!!!

I didn't set up the member of the month one because there was only one nomination. I think it's in the archive folder

Okay no problem...I might try and find it...do you remember who was nominated? I guess we could just have them be our winner:)

I found it and it's posted in the December newsletter. Aestas was the only nomination

our biggest problem is that when someone is nominated others just agree instead of nominating someone new

Alright, since I'm back for the time being (as I'm moving) I can help out in anyway, is there anything I need to do

If you want to go ahead and set up the nominations threads... I've been swamped at work and drugged from more teeth extractions

Alrighty then, I'll start cracking on it

How is everyone doing lately?! Hope the Holidays are going well for everyone:)

Just wondering what jobs we have planned out for the new year...I am going to do a new yearly challenge and maybe a couple of new threads but I just want to make sure to do the regulars too!

I have no clue who's doing what for the new year. Just tell me what to do, when to do it, and I'll do my best. Been busy at work this week, and will be busy with the family this weekend and beginning of next week. But if y'all need me to do anything- Wed-Fri next week I will have oodles more time. Let me know. If you want me to work on a monthly challenge, or a seasonal challenge... actually the fall seasonal challenge is about to expire tomorrow

I'm working on a "job-list" for 2013. So far for January we need:

Newsletter ~
Monthly Challenge ~ Dawn
Yearly Challenge ~
Take down old nomination threads ~
New nomination threads put up ~ Dawn
Take down old monthly winner threads ~
Polls posted ~
January monthly winners posted ~

I think that's all for now. More may be added later

If you want to do a seasonal challenge that would be great

I don't know if I'll be able to post pics or things like that but I may be able to work on some things for here, if you have anything for me to do lay it at me.

I like that idea, it wouldn't' t be too hard but challenging enough. I' d love to see what people could come up with

Looks great, think I' 'll try to do it. :)

January Nomination threads are closed and the polls have been posted. Does anybody wanna set up the winner threads when the polls close on the 2nd? If not I'm more than happy to do them

I should be able to during the day on the 2nd

okay cool thanks alana

It's my turn for the NewsLetter right Dawn? I can have that up by tomorrow and I can do ANY thing else needed! I have some serious making up to do!!!

What's open for this month? I'll try to do what I can, just let me know

Oh, crap in a hand basket... the polls are done, right? working on the threads...

Kathy I have heard of other groups doing this too and I really don't know how I feel about it. On one hand it seems harsh, and I think having high numbers might make other people more interested (at least that's something I used to look for when I checked out groups) and on the other hand really what is the point of them being members if they do not participate, right?!

Anyways my point is I really am good either way. I might send out a message about inactivity and trying to get people going again...see if that helps at all!

I'm okay with that. and the only things left to do is the newsletter, and setting up the nomination threads for february. and since we're talking about cleaning up the group. I was thinking we should go through the old threads and get rid of non-active ones and repost the popular ones

Dawn, I'm working on the Newsletter now! I'm trying to get everything caught back up!

Kathy, I am the same way about being organized...and I agree having a bunch of inactive stuff bugs the hell out of me!

So how about when I do the newsletter I add something about inactive members just to get things started...sound okay?

Is anyone doing the Nomination threads? I can do them if not! I was just getting ready to add my links to everything in the Newsletter and I was going to add a link to Feb noms:)

Is there anything you gals want or think I need to add to the newsletter for this month?

that sounds good. I haven't started the nomination threads so if it's easier for you to do them and link them to the newsletter that works for me

Okay I'll get them set up:)

ALSO...I tried to link the group to the Facebook page where it does the whole "Display your group bookshelves, discussions, polls and more on a Facebook Fan Page wall tab." and I got through all of the steps and on the last one it wouldn't let me go any farther because I wasn't the Administrator!!! GRRRR! Anyways Dawn I thought if you wanted to do that here is the link with the instructions

http://www.goodreads.com/group/member...

I think you should just be able to go to our page and click the GR's Tab now (so starting with #5.) since I already did the rest but I'm not sure... Just thought it would be cool
