ZAPPED! OFFICIAL 52 WEEKS THREAD: 3/4 of the Way there!!
DPF Members,
It is with great enthusiasm that I can today announce the commencement of fifty-two straight weeks of surprise zapping to a wide variety of DPF members and pin traders alike!!!
I can't express how excited I am to be able to do something like this for a community that is so inspiring, generous, and supportive of everyone!!
First I’d like to acknowledge and thank everyone who took time out of their schedules and their lives, to send me a private message with a nomination or address. Without this contribution this endeavor would be merely an aspiration. I’d like to express appreciation to those who offered to submit pins from their own collection for this project.
In particular, I’d like to thank AgentR, Docfish2u and PoohLady5, whom, consistent with their generous character, submitted pins for distribution in this project. Those of you who receive a pin submitted by them will be notified within your packaging. If you happen to be one of these people, I ask that you take a moment to, at the least, send them a PM of appreciation for having donated a pin that now belongs to you!
I'd also like to take a moment to thank everyone who gave me another member's address when I asked, but particularly, Tiggermickey, whom I harassed to a point of annoyance at times, for the myriad of addresses she supplied!!
The goal of this "project" is two-fold; a) to zap members who have not been zapped, or have rarely been zapped, and help them grow their collection, which in turn, will directly help the growth of the hobby's community, and b) to zap those members who often spend their time, money, and pins zapping others, but rarely receive a show of appreciation through a zap in return.
I think that the varied selection of DPF members who are set to receive a zap within the allotted 52 weeks is representative of the ultimate goals.
For a brief recap as to how this will work: I have taken nominations and collected addresses of over 70 DPF members over the course of the last couple of months. I input the list into a randomizer and obtained a specific order. Due to the surplus of nominations, I decided to do 2 zaps for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, effectively expanding the total targets from 52 to 54. Unfortunately, some nominations did not make the final list. IF I'm in a position to continue this and zap everyone after the 52 weeks, I will, however, no promises beyond the initial goal.
The way this will function will be that every Monday, for the next 52 weeks, I will mail out (barring personal impossibility or force of nature) a zap, to the appropriate member based on my list. That member will not know that they are about to be zapped. I will keep a list on this thread numbered from 1 through 54. Once I am informed that the member has received the Zap, I will post their name on the list in the appropriate slot. (IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISH THIS, ALL WE ASK IS THAT YOU SEND US A SIMPLE PM SAYING "RECEIVED" ONCE YOU ARE ZAPPED).
Once more, I would like to thank everyone who has helped make this possible until this point, and I hope that big or small, wants list or trader, you all enjoy the pins that you get!!
