RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

It always happens --- in the middle of something and just got away. Hi to y'all, good to see ya, and I will be around from time to time.............catch ya later...

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Connecting to our FB profiles would be a good idea. Also, creating a FB group.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

That's true, as adults we kno' we are not goin' to Make everyone Happy, but at the same time No one should come on here or in PM and intimidate another..that will automatically be a 0 tolerance.all Attitude and Drama shoes must be left @ the door prior to interactin` on a poets post and keep the critique on afriendly level . We want to feel and we want Poets to feel welcome and be comfortable and Safe..at the same time support one another in their Blogs of networkin' with Love and Respect..it keeps the positive energy flowin in a calm atmosphere. Together we can do it.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Kelly that is an awsome idea! Use both tools, Im down with THAT. You mean like a fb group page or something??

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Hey everyone!! So what are these new rules?

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Are we allowed to sponsor dark poetry contests here?

Sponsoring one on FB might be fun...though it is hard to get people to even participate in contests with a money reward.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Maddi,

Nods. I think a FB group page would be great.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Could use one of the book covers as the Cover photo on FB

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Tierra, so true. That's really what killed OP before.. that's why I left! And we can't count on anyone to show respect to one another and love, except ourselves. 0 tolerance is key.. and I think the punishment should be unfriending the trouble maker, deleting their comments on our page- ignoring them. They will go away eventually.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Kelly that is a really cute idea.. but remember those book covers also symolizes how OP screwed everybody.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

I agree. But we need OP to step it up too, not just all of us.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Ouch. I wasn't really privy to what went on. A new cover photo then!

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

I don't Have FB but I can tell you that on the other Site I belong to They do have a Link to FB and it is successful We have great Artist and Musicians etc. that share there..
I think as a general Rule so many will not get thrown , I think that settin' a limit to posts per "Day" will be a grand Idea..OP is a Big Place and a growin' Community at that no doubt and there will be so many Blogs that won't get a chance to be read..what 'cha think??

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Hi Hope. Nice to meet you.

Do they need a tough moderator here?

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

sorry I am late, checking in.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

OP really messed a lot of people up, and cheated a lot of us :(

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Know what else I wanted to bring up.. I think that whoever comes back to be a part of 'our' community needs to do it out of love for the art.. not to get famous, or try and be published- or make money.. but write just to freaking write!! That 's where the heart is in this art! I mean totally promote your achievments and advertise your books and work, but don't expect anything out of OP or the members! Just share again. Interact, make friends and keep the old.. ya know? Stress really does create a friction of negetivity.. and this site was soaked in it before.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

As a chat mod myself, we need the people who run OP to step up and help us. This site really died after they fired papapackzi

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Hi Angel! Long time, no hear!

That's a shame, Hope.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Hi all...it is great to hit refresh and see an entirely new page of postings..lol

Ginga had a good comment about critique.

~just a thought...
it may be beneficial to offer guidelines/suggestions on what can be covered in critique or comment.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Tierra I think I will post now and then and if my poetry number get to 20 or so I will start deleting. It makes it more accessible to others. But that's just me I guess.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

I agree, Maddi. To post for the love of the art. If expectations are low, then our egos can take it. No reason to accept abuse though.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

Sorry login in late. I got busy cooking n baking an apple pie totally forgot about the meeting till now I saw my email. Ill read the posts to catch up.

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

wow some old faces, so nice to hear from you guys!!! old friends, good times!!! I missed you guys soo much!!! I have barely written anything since I left OP, just havn't been inspired...

RE: OP FAMILY; First Meeting

If everyone would like, there is part of the chat still up. And we have several members who are currently in there. We could move this convo to there. Make it a little easier for everyone.
