so. i was really bored. so i decided to surf some of my favorite sites. i was looking at postsecret's postcards of the week when i had this epiphany (okay... not epiphany more like a random idea)...

what if Cb had it's only postsecret type thingy?

i think it would be cool and it would work. i mean, half of us know how to us photoshop/psp/gimp/etc. maybe once a week, we can have people submit their secrets on "postcards" and we can post them up ...somewhere.

would this Cb postsecret be in the Lounge? Graphic Showcase? Entertainment?

ideas? interest? i actually have it pretty planned out. i just need an "okay go" because it would take a few things.

i'm sorry if my boredom made a really weird/pointless topic.

wow.

i'm glad everyone loves the idea.

^i meant... wouldn't somone... know if the postcard was PM/Emailed? i have no idea how it works but you usually know who PM you or emailed you?

the shared account, i realized, would not be able to store the secrets for someone to sort through them. i mean, postsecret picks only like twenty a week to showcase. we should widdle out the postcards that don't fit.

You do know who's the person that's PMing you, as far as my experience goes, anonymity is impossible through PM. The Mentor idea was brought up as a middle ground. The Mentors are trustworthy, and hopefully members would feel comfortable enough to send the secrets.

I don't think we should be selective with postcards. As long as they're secrets, they should be allowed. And as James brought up, we can just put the account on mod preview and just go from there. Only secrets will be put through the queue and (I don't know if this is even possible) PMs disabled.

As far as choosing between the two, a poll could be made to figure the majority.
