kakapo Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 So inspired by this thread at Muffwigglers (http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=89409 - you'll need to be logged in) I've been speaking to one of my housemates who is a keen amateur typesetter who reckons she could easily come up with something similar for watmm. Basically the top 250 watmm members* names embossed on 300gsm Somerset archival paper stock. We've got a couple of design ideas, haven't finalised it just yet, but I thought I'd put out some feelers, and you get the basic idea from the above pic. * I've taken a couple of the top 250 posters out because I don't like them. I'm not doing '1,000 strong' because beyond the top 250, I have no idea who anyone is. However, if you'd like to be included and you're outside the top 250 and think you want to purchase a print, let me know and I'll add you in and bump somebody off. Price is going to be about £25. First run of about 100, will do more if the demand is there. 10% of profits is going to be donated to the website's running costs. The remainder of the profits is going to a fund to help out a couple of our current members who are having a rough time and both saving up to have a tattoo removed. I'll leave it up to them if they want to let the forum know who they are. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 LOL, that's pretty cool. Good idea. Of all the people to come up with WATMM solidarity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakapo Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 These will be signed and hand numbered. Also, the stupid tart did a mock up run, but sorted the member list by post count in ascending rather than descending order. If anybody wants a print of the bottom 250 watmm members all with zero post counts to their name, just say. I'll throw it in with a proper one for free.

Joyrex Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Perhaps you should do it based on joined date rather than post count? That would (hopefully) weed out certain members known for their propensity for ah, "quantity" over "quality", eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Well, true - some people have been great contributors in a relatively short time, but the majority of "relatively new/high post count" members are unfortunately not known for their consistently high quality input. I'd say do it by donation amounts, but the list would sadly be far short of 250 members... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I doubt I'll make the list as I'm not sure my post count is even right but this would be cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 if i'm on there i might need a "formerly known as" addendum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 @JR- I'm just teasing man. I just knew someone would bring it up. I also think there are a lot of long-term members who don't post often or sort of sit on the sidelines, but they have been around since 05 or whatever. Generally, things that are not inclusive in environments like this I think only serve to alienate people. So, I would be supportive of a "donation based inclusion" model as well.
