The TBBS Annual Valentine's Day Extravaganza has begun!

Welcome, one and all, to the 2015 Valentine's Day Extravaganza! I'll be your personal cupid this year on the board, though the Admins have banned me from stripping down naked, the spoilsports.

For those of you unfamiliar with our Valentine's Day Extravaganza, the idea is that on your behalf I send virtual flowers and a note (if you wish; there's no need to include one) to another TBBS board member on February 14th. It could be someone you admire, someone you appreciate as a friend, or even someone on whom you have a crush. Your message can be anonymous if you wish; just let me know. It's been very popular and a lot of fun in previous years, and everyone, seasoned pros and rookies, is welcome to partake.

So, here are the all-important rules:

PM me by the midnight on the 12th GMT, and on the 14th I'll send your choice of "flowers" with or without a note to the person or people of your choosing.

Please provide the following:
a. Their username.
b. What color of (digital) flowers to send them. Choose from: red (love), white (admiration), yellow (friendship), pink (crush)
c. A note from you (if you wish).
d. Whether you'd like us to include your username or stay anonymous.

Feel free to send flowers to up to five people, with one bunch of flowers per recipient. This is all in good fun and has been a great success in previous years, so let's make this year's Extravaganza even better!

TBBS's Annual Valentine's Day Extravaganza: the non-consumerist, calorie-free alternative to chocolates and real flowers.
 
Can the note be pictorial?

Snoopy! :adore: I'm afraid I have to say no as that would make more work for Cupid, and it would become a where-do-we-draw-the-line thing. But please don't let that stop you from participating! We still want as many people as possible to take part in this fun tradition. :)
 
We need the SNL The Love Boat: The Next Generation skit here. "Love, the final frontier..."
 
Ooh, I like that! We should add blue flowers for fun next year. Great idea, auntiehill. :bolian:
 
I need to have a special allotment to where my limit is upgraded to around 100 or so.
 
I hope to have a rush on my inbox over the next few days as the response has been a wee bit slower than I'd expected. Join in the fun, everyone and remember that if you're a bit shy about sending flowers Cupid will send them anonymously for you. Remember, giving gives you more of a warm, fuzzy feeling than getting. :)
 
Do you think it might not be getting as much attention pinned at the top as it would floating around the main page? I think people sometimes gloss over the pinned threads. Let me know if you'd rather have it unpinned instead and see how that works.
 
^That was my exact thought when I noticed this thread several days after it appeared. Had it not been stickied I would have seen it right away.
 
I'm gonna go ahead and unpin it then and see how that works. If you'd rather have it re-pinned, macloudt, just let me know.
