A monthly contest would be fun! Like the best picture of a ferret eating whole prey or some meat.

1. Do the boards need more moderation? Not in my opinion. Y'all are doing a great job and the forum is clean and well organized. 2. Do we need new emoticons? No. But I wondered where y'all are pulling the emoticon images from, like the welcome, good job; the bigger more detailed images- or do you have to be a certain rank for that? 3. Do you want a monthly contest of some sort? yes! that sounds awesome! everyone loves monthly themed photo contests (I'd just like to see everyone's pictures for those) 4. Would you like to see a program similar to the HF Mentor Program, but for Natural CARE and ENRICHEMENT instead? that actually sounds like a really good idea. I'd love to get tips on how to make Weasel's life more enjoyable for him.

I think the moderation is excellent like it is! Don't fix something that isn't broken Do we need more emoticons? Personally, I never use that many anyway, so for me it's not a concern. A monthly themed photo contest would be a blast! A mentor program for natural care and enrichment would be a definite as well!

1. I don't think the boards need more moderation, everything seems pretty clean and the people all seem to be nice and polite towards each other.
2. I'm not a big emoticon user, but I think the ones you do have are enough.
3. A monthly contest would be fun, I LOVE contests! You could do photo contests and maybe some raffle ticket contests (would help bring some money to the site, too!).
4. I think a natural care and enrichment mentor program would be good. I'd do a poll first to see how many people would participate in it - you don't want to put all of your time and energy into something if there's only one or two people that would participate.

1. Moderating is good, noone is mean or puts anyone down on this site. So thats nice. 2. Emoticons are good, nothing more needed there. 3. Contests are an awesome idea. I love checking out the photos on FV for their monthly contests. 4. Thats an interesting idea, but not sure how that would work. I am always up for new ideas for enrichment/playtime as well as new ways to go Natural for myself and the fuzzies.
Jena- those fancy emoticons can be found on the left of your response post. Under Add Tags: Add Smilies: Message: directly below Message there is a drop down menu for Select Smilie. Thats what you're looking for!

Everything is wonderful, but could we get an imbedded chatroom like on ferretopia and everything ferret and have weekly scheduled chats? that would be awesome =) I agree dont fix what aint broke. this is one of the nicest forums i've been on people go out of their way to apologise if they even think that something could possibly be co0nstrued wrong. for making this forum giuli =D

I second the Live Chat! That could really help for emergencies and such when someone is totally panicking. But also I like weekly chats!

1. Do the boards need more moderation? I don't think so.
2. Do we need new emoticons? No, but is there anyway to make them easier to find? It's like with the "I love raw" one, you've got to go through "I love shelter ferrets", "I love whole prey", etc.
3. Do you want a monthly contest of some sort? That would be nice but only if mods and mentors can participate.
4. Would you like to see a program similar to the HF Mentor Program, but for Natural CARE and ENRICHEMENT instead? I don't know how that would work, it's not like it is a big multi set process like raw feeding is.

I also like to idea of having a chat room. You could have one that's open all the time, but also schedule a weekly chat. The weekly chats could be used to discuss a particular topic (have a "topic of the week") or just a time when HF members know there will be others online.

this is the best and cleanest board I ever seen. everyone is always friendly even when they disagree on differnt opinions which is always a good thing. the only sugestion I can think of is maybe setting up a general post office box so we can send the mentors a thank you card once in a while that can be safley forward to them .

I LOVE this forum so it is hard to make any suggestions.
As other members said, I also love the idea of the contests and chat room. I don't know how you would make the care/enrichment mentor program, but if you could figure something out, I would be interested!
As for the contests, it would be great to have a monthly contest with a theme..."ferrets in the leaves", "ferrets in the snow", "ferrets eating mice", ferrets in the bath", "ferrets sleeping", etc. If we wanted, you could set a $3-10 submission fee for everyone who submits a photo, that way, part of the fee could go to cover a Holistic Ferret product for the contest winner (such as a shirt or mug, whatever is cheapest), and the rest of the money could go to the website!
Besides that, I don't really have anymore suggestions. My only other wish is for this forum to be more active since I am constantly checking it! Haha, but only time will make it grow!
