Dr_Pain close, but not exactly. What you are envisioning is the Meatgistics MeetUp which is simmering in the background.
Now Festivus(see Seinfeld), is for airing of grievances and feats of strength!

I guess I should be more wordly on those Seinfeld episodes.
So the festivus is a meeting of the mind to discuss as a group the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Yea when I read what you wrote I was thinking about a celebration of the membership, their accomplishments etc… There are a few mentions on the podcast/livecast but it is usually in passing. It would be fun to see more of a celebration of accomplishments. This could give Austin and Jonathon an opportunity to review those numbers and make the promotions known and celebrated, and rewarded.
I’ll give you an example… I passed the Regular Contributor and nothing! I passed the Power User and nothing! I passed the 500 mark and nothing!
All those landmarks are set in Meatgistics to mean something, are they not? Personally I don’t fret getting another badge or getting a hat or a cutting board etc… They are definitely appreciated but this won’t deter me from participating … but it may others. Having a scheduled celebration may empower the ones that feel uninspired by being “forgotten”
Just my 2 cents!

I agree but it is distracting for it to be flashing all the time

We now have a Feedback category of Meatgistics https://meatgistics.waltonsinc.com/category/60/feed-back In that category we have 2 subcategories, Report and Issue and Suggest Features. Pretty self-explanatory but use Report and Issue for when something is wrong or struggling on Meatgistics and Suggest Features when you have an idea on something that might make Meatgistics more fun or work better. Austin and I just went through budget last night and we socked some away for Meatgistics upgrades this year, so if you have an idea and it can be done there is a good chance we will at least try to do it!

I like the intent, but I think you will have to work really hard to inform the members who are less frequent users of Meatgistics that it is out there and what its for.
Most site users will just post these kinds of topics under the general topic heading unless they are very familiar and/or frequent members and are familiar with the site and how the categories are structured.

processhead We can move topics easily, and we probably will when we find topics in the wrong spot in scenarios like this. We might even see about giving a few members the ability to move topics that are in the wrong spot too. Just depends on if we can work out the permission details there.
Dr_Pain You don’t like my flashing “W” icon!!! Sounds like a Team Blue complaint for sure, since the color is orange… JK I removed the flashing and fixed the view on that.
Dr_Pain If you have not received a reward for passing 500 posts, I will get that fixed soon. I’ll talk with Jonathon and we’ll make sure we are on top of it.
Dr_Pain We probably need to revisit the group membership for Regular Contributors and Power Users. If you reach those milestones currently, you should have the ability to add the tag next to your name, but you have to manually do that and adjust the tags by your name on your own.
Tex_77 Thanks for the reminder on money towards a “Meetup”. I didn’t include anything in there for that, but I will put something in there. We’ll make sure something is budgeted for it next year, and we’ll push to figure out what exactly we are doing there.

processhead I think they could get it accomplish in a modified Podcast/Livestream and the invite should go site-wide. It would be a good reminder for the current members (and a push) and would be a good recruitment tool for new members. Some people just join the livestream for the prizes. If they knew they could get a prize by participating maybe we could get a few more active members. And when they are hooked… they will stay for the party!

Austin You are funny. It was definitely not a color thing, more of a visual distraction
Thanks for looking into it. I don’t mind banking those rewards till I get to 1500 or 2000 and you guys can have just one shipment. I won’t stop posting or enjoying the COMMUNITY (just for you PapaSop )
Lol! Thanks.

Maybe even have some sponsored and “sanctioned” regional meetups for those who would not be able to make the pilgrimage to mecca.

We have 3 members (according to the map) in Louisiana. I may have to go to the Texas one if not too far
