Quirky Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Don't have to use my post but I have a suggestion to make a sticky thread for people to show their new fur purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Quirky, Your post should probably have been placed in the "Suggestions, Feedback, And Your Questions Answered" forum in "The Information Zone" section of these forums. However I will let this topic stay in the Den forum for now. I am curious what others will think of the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclobasti Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Don't have to use my post but I have a suggestion to make a sticky thread for people to show their new fur purchases. I like this idea, willing to share as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I like the idea, but I suspect it will be a pretty slow moving thread as people don't get new furs all that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclobasti Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I mean I will probably also start a new thread when I get a new fur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirky Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Eh if you add up the number of members it could at least happen 1-5 times every other month or so. Some places do lay away payments for furs and there's more than one way to buy furs. You can show off new or newish real furs all the same.

Panther10 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I only make about one fur purchase a year for accessories I buy for myself. I haven't bought a single new coat for myself since 2012. And furs that I buy to flip are usually purchased 3-4 times a year but I can't do that this year because I am trying to earn money for a trip to Alaska next year. My only available option is to sell the remaining inventory that I have and see how much money I have saved up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirky Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Doesn't matter how often it is. The only fact is it will be there for posting...idk why you're trying to be "anti new fur sticky?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The final decision on this matter is up to neoJaguar as he is the site owner. I am not against the idea, but as others have pointed out, it could become an infrequently updated topic, and thus not really worth having as a sticky. Members who have acquired a new fur are always welcome to start a new topic to brag about their latest acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoJaguar Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Make a poll. If people don't care if a sticky exists, then have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Make a poll. If people don't care if a sticky exists, then have at it. Good idea! I have modified Quirky's first post in this topic to add the poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leatherzaddy Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I like the idea, but maybe that's just because my coyote parka is set to arrive this Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoJaguar Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It's the peoples site. Let the people decide is what I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther10 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It may seem like a good idea in theory, but speaking from personal experience it's not going to work. I tried making a sticky thread like this once on FFG about 5-6 years ago, and it worked great....for about a month. Then the fur season was over and no one was buying any furs anymore and all activity on that topic had ground to a complete halt. Eventually the thread was completely removed after cookie decided to overhaul the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excalafur1 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I was just thinking. Dose it have to be NEW furs. how about furs you already have in your collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It may seem like a good idea in theory, but speaking from personal experience it's not going to work.A point worth considering. I was just thinking. Dose it have to be NEW furs. how about furs you already have in your collection? It could be a "Show us your furs - new or old" topic. While I cannot modify the existing poll without destroying existing votes, please comment on this additional suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm with Panther10 on this.Done before and failed. Not all members know how to post their pictures on to the forum. Create a folder "My furs" or "Members furs" in the gallery,i think the french team has it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclobasti Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Create a folder "My furs" or "Members furs" in the gallery,i think the french team has it that way. How are people going to notice if you posted something? Just write it here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 How are people going to notice if you posted something? Just write it here? You can always start a new topic, or if we setup a sticky as originally proposed in this thread add it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yes,we can announce updates in the sticky and add our stories on how and where we got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoJaguar Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 from the way the poll sits I'm going to make a thread called "Show us your furs - new or old" if it bombs - it can be unstickied, but the people have spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther10 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 If you are lucky, you might see up to 12-13 pages of responses if this turns out to be a healthy fur season for most of us. After that and the season of spring hits....zilch Keep in mind this is a best case scenario. Don't expect this thread to remain for longer than a couple of months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 from the way the poll sits I'm going to make a thread called "Show us your furs - new or old" if it bombs - it can be unstickied, but the people have spoken. Listen to voters and ignore the experts,how trendy. Reminds me of biggest mistake called Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Like boss man alluded to, there are no bad repercussions if it bombs, unlike a Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
