Hi All,

1st of all WELCOME BACK Tiina!!!! Your discussions in the past have been very interesting
and I wondered where you had gone.

Getting Something Started -

As for the site 2.0 stuff and upgrades, I suspect that funding to accomplish upgrades could help.
Perhaps a fundraiser to help Katie in her refresh efforts could be started. I for one would contribute $'s.

Also, we have many talented girls here, perhaps contributing some technical talent may be helpful.

Katie, let us know if you want some help, and what form of help would be most useful.

Hugz,

MichelleLynn

Why does almost nothing happen @Trannyweb? Are we too lazy to make things happen? Do we not care of eachother?

I was just wondering. And what could we change to make things happen?

Weeeellll Tiina,

instead of moaning you could try to start something..................


Hejhej

This should not be a discussion about me. It should be a dscussion about TW. Katie, I have some suggestioms and I am going too tell you about them.

The site should develop into the direction of web 2.0. We would need a fresh lookout but that is not the most important. Some new features aree moree neeeddeed. Such asss the chance to send a tweet. As in Twitter.

You got me absolutely right, Joni. I was not seeking to criticize the management, quite the opposite. My purpose was to call for more member activity (the absence of which from my part during last few days is regrettably caused by ill health). A site is what members make it, the management provides a frame to make up a site.

That said, there are quite a lot of cheap or even free tools available out there in the Great Cyberspace. The problem is obviously how to integrate them into the existing environment. Creative solutions are needed and I am going to give my two cents once I have had a chance to surf around more profoundly in this great place.

Cristine, Tiina has in the past had a very large presence here.
She was allways friendly, up beat, with a good word & support for everyone.
She like a lot of others left for reasons of her own. I'm just happy to see her back.

Tiina, Katie says she is about to give us a new site.
A new look, with new features.
As much as I like what we have I realy am sitting on my hands waiting to see what she has for us.

I think some of us may be mistaking the edifice for what goes on in it. Katie may build us the Taj-Mahal of tgirl websites but it won't mean much if no one uses it. If I take Tiina's post correctly, she's not commenting on how TW as such is set up, but why there isn't more going on. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Tiina. My own feeling is that what the site needs is not so much a remodel or a makeover as more participation by everyone whether you're a member or not.

Yes, I have to admit I haven't been as active lately as I might like to be, I have a whole host of excuses, looking for work, having moved, still trying to sell our old house, etc, etc. That still doesn't mean I can't take a few minutes to comment on a post or start a new thread about something of interest. And I have also hung back on some comments I might like to make out of concern that it could potentially cause someone to be upset. No, I'm not advocating responses merely for the sake of causing contention, lord knows we have had plenty of that in the past, but if something you read makes you want to speak up, then by all means, please do so. I know I'm going to from now on.

And if you can do it at all, please join and become a paying member. To use one of the spiels that public radio uses during their fundraising drives, if you cut out one cup of espresso from the local coffee stand each day, you could easily afford to join TW and make a monthly dues payment. Yes, I know we are all strapped with the economy everywhere in the toilet. So if you can't afford to make a regular payment then just contribute what you can as you can. TW cannot exist without us. For you girls...and guys...who absolutely just cannot afford anything, you are still a part of TW and are valued and needed, please participate and make your voices and opinions heard.

As always, Katie, thank you for all you do each and every day that most of are totally unaware of and that keeps TW here for us.

Hugs...Joni Marie
