I don't know about any of you, but one of my favorite movies was "pay it forward". And for those of you who never seen the movie, it is about a little boy who believed that if each person was to repay a good deed (but pay it forward to 3 different people) that the world would be a better place.
I am actually very interested in seeing how this would work on a much smaller scale, and would like to eventually write a blog about it. So my idea, is to choose one person who replies to this thread and do a favor for them, and then for them to choose someone else who replies to the thread and do a favor for them, and so on. We don't have to do 3 favors like in the movie, I think one would be enough.
So if enough people are interested in this experiment, then read the rules below and lets get started.
Rules:
1: Post a reply stating something that you need, or that would help you in some way. (be considerate with your request)
2: Once you have been chosen, and a favor done for you, edit your post and let everyone know that you have already been picked.
3: After someone has done a favor for you, then it will be your turn to pick from the ones left. (pick something you know you can handle)
4: All requests must be free for the person doing the favor to do.
5: The favor must not be too time consuming.
6: Each person can only receive one favor.
7: Just have fun with it
This may sound stupid to some, and really cool to others. I am one of the ones it sounds cool to. So if it sounds cool to you too, then leave your reply with request
@NFL2011:
dude - this is absolutely the most awesome thread in a long time !!!
this idea rocks so much - really great thought.
thx&rep is given of course - even if that doesn`t count up what you initiated here!
again i will put you in prayers - because i did on your other post and because people like you deserve to be backed up in any way possible.
you rock!!!
@whole community:
you guys here are more than totally awesome!!!
it is so nice to see how many people jumped in here - helping each other out.
besides a lot of crap that is going on here - these are the things that show the true quality of this board.
i have seen a lot of nice moves in here since i joined, there was stuff that underlines the presence of some really good beings on this board - and this thread brings up why you guys really do stand out from ohters.
..........
ok - as for the meaning of this thread...
...i do not have anything really worth to offfer i think. but to at least give something i will go through the whole thread and give thx&rep to anyone that has participated and given something - as the whole idea and outcome somehow moves me.
...one thing that i can give away would be to advertise someones service in my signature. it should of course be your own service and a reliable one - which i will check and maybe refuse to do so if it seems to not be reputable. as the month just has started i will put it in my sig for this and the upcoming month. shoot me a pm if you would like me to do this for you.
...i myself have nothing to demand at the moment in terms of IM - as my life out of nowhere was turned upside down or in other words was completely destroyed last year and i still heavily suffer the problems that came with it and still try to fight my way back into the life i lived before. therefore anything i could request was to send some positive vibe or prayer up to whatever you believe in and wish me a good outcome of this.
cheers!
EDIT:
...thinking about something valuable to offer i had a thought: if anyone on here wants to set-up a multilanguage website i would offer to translate his existing content from english into german to give him a jump start. but please be kind and do not bomb me down with 500 pages of content. please keep it in a "moderate" size. depending on your needs it can be negotiated where to draw the line to match a "moderate" size.
...if there is noone in need of my offer, there would be a plan b: as i was asking myself if a translated article would be seen as original content - someone please enlighten me on this. if so i would be willing to search and translate 3-5 articles related to your niche and translate them into english for you. number of articles would depend on the size i can come up with.
hope this can help someone.
