NS Secret Santa

So, I was on the phone with our favorite NS member, Thomas, and we had a great idea. Why don't we do an NS Secret Santa!?!?

This could be VERY interesting, and if done right, could be a HUGE success.


Who is interested?

im posting after he did just to say "im in" even though i read the thread and understand its not necessary.

also can we leave clues and hints and shit around the forum for our person to find before we send the gift?


aka: can i use this as an excuse to post whore alot.

this could be sweet, im in. just a tip (maybe its been said before, didnt read the whole thread), but on friday when you send the cult invite to everyone, look at their feedback to see if they are legit? may take time that you dont have, just a thought tho

There is a screening process that will be done prior to the cult invite.

Pretty straightforward. There will be a thread, starting Friday lasting till Sunday. Once that is over and everybody is signed up, those people will get an invite to the cult. From there, in the cult, you will get your person.

So, once again, look for the thread over the weekend.

thats one thing we need to adress, what I am thinking is to have a canada thread and a USA thread in the cult, so no cross border postage fees have to be payed

Well the solution to that would be to just put a sticker over your nipples and cross your legs a little bit, makes it not a nude anymore.

Don't you worry man, between my almost 6 years on the site and Thomas going to fake school online, we are pretty aware of a lot of people on here.

shippings not that expense over boarders, especially if americans send to canadians, and i don't think anyone's buying anything big enough to cost a fortune to ship.

i'd be down with it, but i don't want to spend 25$ shipping on a 10$ gift....
so unless we can find some euro people who are down with it, i'm afraid i cannot partake in this awesome idea !

Why do you guys all spam one thread? Can't you guys just talk in tinychat?

^^the man is right ...
use tinychat or PM or something...

its frustrating/confusing if you want to pick up on a 3page thread and theres a conversation going on in the middle...
