What Constitutes a Member?

Calypso Blue · Post by **Calypso Blue** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 2:59 pm

As this is really becomming an organization of sorts. What DOES make a pack member? Just registering for posting? Should there be something else?

Figarou · Post by **Figarou** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 3:01 pm

An ID card.

Maybe someone who registered should have a certin amount of posts. Not just join, leave one comment and never comes back. Not really sure though.

Figarou · Post by **Figarou** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 3:20 pm

no, not joining this forum. Have something seperate. Joining a pack club. Once we join, we get an ID card with an identification # on it. And a certificate of some kind to hang on our wall.

Easy as pie.

I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned, this forum now belongs to the pack. The film will have another forum, specifically for the flick.

Of course. Just have the pack membership on this side. Not have it at the other site or forum.

Nods. I agree. Just a link to the pack itself.

I think anybody who contributes and takes part in sharing their ideas for the movie can become part of the pack. Not very official though. I guess it could do with post count but I'm reluctant to make that the only way to become a pack member. Usually when that happens in forums you get this "I have been here longer, I have posted the most, therefore I am more elite than thou" vibe from the "elite members" which I absolutely hate. Its not how much you say or how long you happened to have been around; its what you say and how you relate with your fellow pack members that you will be judged upon. Once again, not very official and doesn't really answer the main question of when is a person part of the pack, but that's just my two scents.

How about we just have everybody pay a small fee before signing up then?

Post count? It wouldn't be fair. Look at mine. I want every pack member to be "equal" No ranking.

As for paying for membership, we might have to. I like to have a plastic ID membership card that will last for years. Not a piece of paper like a business card.

Paying would be a fair thing, as long as its a small ($5-$10 maybe) one-time fee, and not some sort of periodic (monthly/quarterly/annually, whatever) cost to 'maintain' the membership.

Sure, money to cover the cost of printing the plastic ID cards, certificates, ETC.

Oh, we should have our own ID# on the card. Easier to keep track of the members.

I, of course, will be Number 1... the rest of you can all fall into step behind me...

#'s are nice...maybe in the order that we registered on this sight. So when The Pack becomes very very large the "veterans" elders....whatever... will be known.

It may not be just #'s It could be a mixture of letters and numbers. I don't think it'll start at #1.

Lets not have rankings of any kind. All are equal here.

I am going to answer your question by saying that a "Pack Member" is defined as someone who hits your "3 moon" status (as the description for 3 moons showing is "pack member" as you'll see).

I aggree on the point about having posted a certain number of times, if someone posts just once so that they can say they helped in producing this , then thats just taking the mickey

Dang i can't get my new avanatar working

I need to link it from another site but it doesnt work

Any tips? Its too big apparently

Members that genuinely help as best they can, giving their insights, opinions while they support the film along with the staff is a good start.

Yea, perhaps having a "Support Fee" would be a good idea, as this would further show they are serious about supporting the film while helping out you guys as well.

True, but sometimes that one post can lead to something big.

Maybe new members should have to pass a series of tests....

Darkmoon · Post by **Darkmoon** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 11:10 am

tests...what exactly do you mean by that...?

CrewWolf · Post by **CrewWolf** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 11:41 am

Tests? Oh sure. Make it 100 questions and you have to get them all right in order to join.

Well instead of ranking in numbers how about on our "card" have the date we joined the pack. A small membership with our membership card and a t-shirt. I would pay about twenty bucks for that.
