Posts for Donations?

Is anybody out there up for the old "you donate money to Metafilter, I'll make a post for you" thing? I have a topic I'd really like to see posted, but I don't have the time to do it myself. I'd donate $25 to our Bean Plate Overlords if someone would do this for me. (I feel like someone was doing this project in the past but I don't remember who.)

Add request for followup to AskMeFi

Would we like a feature to request that an original poster, asking for recommendations, follow up with a comment about what they did, or if some place, restaurant, or service was recommended whether it worked out and why or why not?

Dancing shoes!

It's March and it's time to put on our dancing shoes. Please join us over at Fanfare for our annual March Madness bracket building and trash talking.

I mean, I don't know if others would be welcome to do posts for donations, but I could probably be talked into it more regularly. With the new posting twice in 24 hours thing going on, and me literally not doing anything with my life, I'd be open to doing it more. Maybe others would do it too I know there are a lot of people who are fearful of... [more]

I'm not doing anything with my life. If you want me to do a post for you, MeMail me and I'll do a short one for $25 and a longer one for $50. [view]

You are literally doing *something* with your life, hippybear, because I see the evidence every time I visit the blue. I mean I hope you end up doing more of what you want to be doing with your life, but I am super grateful for your continuing and amazing number of posts apart from donations. I really appreciate it.Thanks! [view]

Have you decided what state you will incorporate in? Nonprofit government agencies, private associations and centers in each state exist to help you with finding resources and answering questions like these. [view]

The board voted unanimously in February to incorporate in Delaware, and to seek 501(C)(3) IRS nonprofit status. [view]

I wonder if there would be more responses if the email requesting follow up came after two weeks, or even one week. I could also imagine sending out additional emails monthly if there was any new activity on the question (responses, favorites, etc). [view]

Personally, as fired up as I am about the MollyRealized and Odinsdream fiascos, nothing would make me leave the site faster than going back to the "good old days" of the loudest voices deciding whose viewpoints deserve respect. i mean right now we have an unelected group of moderators-cum-editors-cum-therapists deciding whose...

I approve this because I can't wait to start fucking up the comments. ★☆☆☆☆ My kids won't eat tofu so I subbed the tofu for their favorite chicken nuggets. We don't like spicy food so I used ketchup for the sauce. Served over angel hair pasta as that's what I had on hand. This recipe was terrible, please consider changing the spices!!! [view]

what strikes me as funny is that the thread seems to point out that things we hold as true across the board are just stereotypes and for every "all men/women do this" there are 10 comments saying "i am a man/woman and i've NEVER done that". i'd say that's a pretty positive discussion. I'm more troubled that it's such a... [more]

Hey, just wanted to say thanks, loup and team, for your help when I reported something the other day that I thought might be a bug/functionality issue (but was probably just a garden variety pbkac). My question was addressed really thoughtfully and quickly -- I appreciated that a lot. Thanks! [view]

I think it would be nice to have it automated; sometimes I've refrained from offering a followup because I hate to bother mods. [view]

brief messaging in the new-post process could be helpful here. letting askers know updates are appreciated might be sufficient; i honestly didn’t know this was something the community would like! i have posted updates before, but i would have been more consistent if i had known it is desirable. i don’t think i have ever received an email nudge...

I prefer single link posts, usually. MeFi to me is "hey, look at this cool thing", not "this is something I've been thinking about, here are twenty-five links with some vague relation". [view]
