IMPLEMENTED - Suggestion: A sub-forum for event postcard requests (birthday, congratulations, etc)


Hello! :) I had an idea, so I was wondering if it would make sense to others as well. How about a sub-forum for people who are asking for birthday postcards, get-well postcards, etc?

I see a lot of requests from people, where they ask for people to send postcards either to themself or to other people ("could you send a postcard to my friend who just had a baby," "could you send a postcard to me for my birthday," "could you send a postcard to my friend who is in the hospital," "could you send a postcard to my friend who is getting married," etc), usually in exchange for a postcard from them.

A lot of members here are happy to send these postcards, often not asking for one in return, so they're kind of like non-random Random Acts of Smileness cards :) I was thinking that if these requests had a sub-forum of their own, they wouldn't be pushed down by the normal trade requests, and they would get more responses :) What do you think? :)

I like the idea :)

There is a message thread in RAS that does come close but does miss out on the 'sent me a birthday card please' group.

http://forum.postcrossing.com/viewthread.php?tid=59464

I will look into where to create the section.

Hmm, I thought I had started this thread in the right sub-forum? :cool:

But I've never seen the "Forum Wishlist" sub-forum before! *looks around curiously* :smilegrin:

(It'll be interesting to see if the requests sub-forum can be created! It would allow for more details for specific people/events than the RAS tag, I think, as well as more responses for each one? :D Thank you for considering it! :))

I have created a sub-forum off the RAS section

Feel free to create other categories.
