In the well/Getting to know you

Toto Wolfcastle

A few other forums have been doing this 'In the well' thing where a poster volunteers to answer question asked by other users.

1. A thread is started looking for volunteers
2. Someone is chosen and a thread is opened. People ask questions and the chosen person quotes them and answers them
3. This lasts for a couple of days. The thread is then closed and we move on to the next person

Obviously given that this is the Fashion and Appearance forum the questions would relate to Fashion and Appearance. Nothing too personal though and this will be watched closely.

I think it would be a nice way to find out what products/styles/etc the other Fashion and Appearance posters like.

So, any questions? Any brave soul want to volunteer to go first? Gwan, you know you want to.

I think this is a good idea. I always like reading them.
I wouldn't mind doing it but I don't think I post enough for people to know me.

Maybe a mod can go first as we know you and others can get an idea about the thread?

OldGoat

I always thought this forum could do with a banter thread so I guess I'm in...worms/can/open...:o

Twee.

Sure count me in! Sounds like fun!

Pythia

Personally I think it's a bit weird.

Michellenman

I'm in.

fonpokno

I'd do it too!

Novella

I think it's a pretty cool idea! Count me in too!

JIZZLORD

Toto Wolfcastle

\o/ Loads of volunteers! Thanks!

I'm travelling today so I will get back to this later tonight or possibly tomorrow morning and get the ball rolling.

PrivateEye

Ha, let's keep it online for the moment! I'm not sure the world is ready for that.

Right, so we have a list:

OldGoat
Twee
Michellenman
fonpokno
Novella
Jizzlord
PrivateEye
LadyPennyworth
janeybabe
Madame Razz
CAr0l
Lia lia
squishywishy
dudara
The Dazzler
lasair

It's just a loose list for the moment, we'll see how it goes. I can add to it as we go.

And I like the idea of a 'What are you wearing today' thread. Somebody start that!

LadyMayBelle

Me too - sounds interesting.

Larianne

I think it's a great way to get to know other posters.

I think I'll opt out of it though, we'll see. I'll be found out as not being v fashionable at all.

Theres no thing as unfashionable. You are simply temporally displaced. Eventually you will be cutting edge again.

Lia_lia

I'll do it! Even though I'm not a very frequent poster, but whatever.

Toto Wolfcastle

OldGoat is in the well.

The next person on the list is Michellenman. As soon as I get the nod I will start up the thread.

The nod has been given and the thread is here.

Toto Wolfcastle

Alrighty, I've closed Michellenman's thread. Fonpokno is next. I'll start her thread tomorrow when I have time/energy.

fonpokno

Cool, ready when you are!

Toto Wolfcastle

Ok as I seem to be still awake I started it. Have fun!

Toto Wolfcastle

I haven't forgotten about this. I've just been mad busy in work. I'll get around to starting a new thread at some stage this week. Meanwhile, fonpokno's thread is still open and linked to in the above post.

Toto Wolfcastle

I've closed fonpokno's thread and started Novella's.

Yeah I'l give this a try too

OldGoat

Has this idea died? I was really enjoying the insights I was getting into other posters. If interest has wained then is there room for a general chat thread hereabouts. The ChatWalk? (L'd OL at my own brilliance for that name)

I PMd the next person on the list last night and am awaiting a reply. If I do not get one by tomorrow I will move to the next person. I have been extremely busy at work so only got a chance to sort it out last night. Sorry about that.
