I have a suggestion. Would it be too much to ask DawgNation to do a charitable auction/contribution that proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Foundation in the name of Wendy Anderson? Donations and auctions would allow those who contribute some DN swag and proceeds go to a good cause and shows the DN support for families that are dealing with or experienced this situation.
Just a thought....
This isn't necessarily about the forum, but it would be great if we could improve the audio quality for phone guests on the podcast.
There are tons of options that would provide a marked improvement...Facetime, Google Voice, Skype, etc.
FaceTime is built-in on every iPhone and you could add Google Voice or Skype to any smartphone. It just seems like an easy move that would result in a large quality-of-life improvement.
Forgot to tag you @JeffSentell
I just let fly on what you quoted. In a prior life, I did keep pretty good notes on business meetings, even though I wrote longhand (by pen for the youngsters).
Some easy additions that'd be fun...
-"What Did Cade Hunt and Kill This Week"...just ask Cade what he hunted every week and post it.
-What An Internet Personalty Earns"..y'all post your salaries and raises. We are all curious.
-"Connor's Muscle Poses"..you know he does it in a mirror at home anyway. Just have him take a new pic and post it every week.
-"Who Will Kirby Chew Out First Over His Headphones"..a new contest every game for another free Kroger food card. You can't have enough of those.
-"Hot UGA Chicks"...just roam the campus with a camera. You get the idea.
-"Free Movie Night Stream"..y'all are in media. You can get your hands on bootleg new movies, right?
.....I'm pretty high on that Connor's Muscle Poses idea. I think it's a winner...
-"NCAA PreGame Predictions"..play NCAA football on X-box and pit UGA against out next opponent. See what the magic X-box says. That aint a bad idea.
-"Are You A Democrat or Republican and Why?"..just a thread y'all can close and lock real fast to remind everyone who's boss.
When is David Pollack going to be on DawgNation Daily?
Mr. Mod, did anything come of this as I would like to participate in it and you have fancy behind the scenes knowledge.
Noted that there are 2 Connor's Muscle Poses in that ^^.
Nothing in the works that's been mentioned to us way down stream. Wish something like this could be a possibility.
Harass Jeff for me in your next mod card game (watch out for @Kasey I think he cheats)
He does... unless he's asleep in his Mod recliner.........then we switch out his cards on him...
What specificially are we talking about here? A DN "pink out" awareness movement?
Just checking. My side gig is pretty busy these days.
Well, my initial thought was based of some of these fine folks not always being able to get their hands on some DN Swag. It was mentioned that some were willing to pay for it. My thinking is that it would be a kind gesture from DawgNation to contribute to the Breast Cancer Foundation in the name of Wendy Anderson.
Maybe get some DawgNation Swag autographed by some of the coaches, former players etc. and do a online auction with a 100% of the proceeds going to the charity. Gives the folks that can't make it to the DN events to get their hands on some special DN Swag.
I know your busy Jeff and was more of a pipe dream on my part. But it was a thought and suggestion for the "Suggestion" thread.....
Love this idea and would love to contribute
I think a bit of leeway makes for a more energetic board. On the other hand I'm glad this board isn't a cesspool like the 247 and Rivals national boards have become. I recognize I was out of line a few weeks back and after spending a week visiting those boards I'm glad moderators stepped in.
My thinking is be consistent without favoring an ideology or any particular poster. Don't be overly ridged but don't allow things to get out of hand. You're already doing a good job though.
I'd like the ability to highlight part of a post and have that appear as my quote. When people read the post, they won't have to link back to a post, but can see my response in context. Perhaps there could be a word limit for such quotes.
1) #tagging - to bucket items across threads
2) Fireside Chats- opportunity to call / Facetime / Skype in with questions to either Jeff, Connor or Mike
3) Some sort of Fantasy Gaming element - get members involved with a season long prediction challenge or one question a week with some DN swag as prizes at YE
4) DN tailgate for home games (at least 1x per year)
Users who post 193 consecutive threads to countdown to the season get some Dawg Nation swag
I still think one "Countdown to Kickoff" thread would be best. Some folks may miss a few days, but by then the thread(s) is buried several page deep on the site and they miss out on reading/commenting on them. Just my two cents though, which isn't worth much according to my old lady.
