How would you feel if there was a forum or sub-forum for 'Dedications' here in Alldeaf? I foresee the possibility of making this a tradition in Alldeaf....

What do you think?
Please 'vote' and state your opinions if you would like to--
 
I vote yes sure why not. It'll be nice looking past on threads seeing who they dedicated their threads to. ;)
 
I voted no. Why? Well we all know who you cherish, right? Sometimes other people keep their lives private, so we won't know for them. But I consider dedication posts, something that belongs in either the general chat or relationship forum. I'm not saying it's bad to make a dedication post, I do like reading those who have posted them; but its not something that needs a sub-forum or anything. Just my 2 cents. :)
 
I voted ' yes ' I think it would be a great idea since I do love reading something like this myself ;)
 
Why not use a web/homepages or journal/blog sites to put all stuff you want people to see? I'd like to see alldeaf.com remaining as a serious debating forum, not a personal one.

Brian,

If AllDeaf was only as a serious debating then I wouldn't be here...Alldeaf is a community where we are more likely to post almost anything in general...

Just my 2 cents worth!
 
i voted yes because they are so sweet and i know i would dedicate my 1000th post to someone... :) i m attracted to threads who are like that. :)
 
Yes, I think it would be great idea!

It would be interesting to share anyone post like this here. I enjoying myself to read their posts and share with them.

I love Alldeaf forum here because of this.
 
I'm not too sure what it means... does it mean when you're dedicating a thread to someone so certain people read it, and stuff like that?

Click to expand...

Yes...

Here are a few examples...let's say a member reached a 'milestone'--a set number of postings in Alldeaf which can be: 1,000; 5,000; 6,000 and up, etc..., and dedicate a post to someone whom they love, honoring and cherishing a friendship, a pet...any special particular thing or person whom they like to make a nice dedication to...also, these dedications doesn't necessarily have to be limited to a 'milestone' moment, but can be used at any time when a member feels the desire to make a specific dedication in terms of accomplishments, goals achieved and even to the memories of loved ones now deceased (passed away)...etc.,....
 
I think it's more of a fad that will die away quickly. We had a "thing" going when we did "Ask Me Anything..." threads, but those threads slowly faded away. They did pop up from time to time, but nothing made them really stick. If we were to make this sub-forum, I'd probably be making 10 separate threads... since I didn't make any for my 1,000th post, 2,000th post, 3,000th post, etc. ;) I'm soon reaching my 10,000th post... hehehe!
 
I think it would lose its spontaneity if we made a forum specifically for dedications. It would somehow take away its ‘specialness’ if we created a forum for love tributes. It’s kind of like something we were talking about the other day on another message board. We were talking about how modern technology has completely ruined A Charlie Brown Christmas. Back in the day, there were no VCR’s or DVD players. If you missed a Peanuts special, you had to wait an entire year until it came on again. Peanuts specials were special—they signaled that special times were here! You waited all day for it, and by the time the show was on, you already had your bath and were bundled up in your foot jammies, eagerly waiting for the 'CBS Special' spinning rainbow to appear. When the show ended and the credits were rolling, you were a little sad because the magic was over and it was going to be a whole ‘nuther year ‘til it came on again. But no more—now you can just go buy the DVD. Now you can watch it over and over again ‘til you’re ready to puke. The magic is gone. :(

Do you see my point? I think we should just keep up the cute ‘tradition’ that we started of setting aside our milestone posts for expressing our devotion to our significant others. Let’s not ruin it the same way the Peanuts specials were ruined for us.
 
Thanks for explaining, I get it now. It sounds like a good idea, organise all those threads into one sub-forum.
 
I agree with that "tradiation" that we can keep and look back as memory album in here for the dedication. Who knows those member's kids can look and see what did they dedicated to. It would be nice! :)
