NS Secret Santa 2014

NS Secret Santa has been pretty awesome the last few years. It's a super big project and snwbrdmilf doesn't have the time to do it this year.

Her and I chatted and I have plenty of time.

This isn't the official request for invite list, at least not yet.

I'm wondering if I took it over, if there would still be interest. Also wondering if there are any ideas in regards to making it so that everyone gets a gift.


What likely helped a lot last year was that you needed to be a member at least 1 year. Publicly list members who have not sent gifts. Threaten with a ban (I don't have this power).

One thing that I think would make it a lot easier on me is if I through up a quick form on my site that logged everyone into a database. Then I could sort it, create the match up lists and check people off super easy.. and Then I would just copy and paste the information on who has who and what their address is/what they are interested in. I'm not sure if you guys would feel comfortable entering that on a different site though.

Thoughts?

Did this last year and loved it. If people aren't going to send a gift they aren't going to send a gift. If your only goal out of this is to get a gift and not enjoy giving someone something special than that's just awful.

-MK-I think the rule should be 2 years. And then get a mod to threaten to ban. The longer they've been on the site, the less you want a ban. And there has been a lot of shitty accounts in the past year...


The two year idea is kinda lame IMO. I really want to do this this year, and if this rule goes into play i won't be able to.
