@Tunacupcakes: Can you strass a list? 'Cause sparkles make everything better.
@helenberrycrunch: lol gotta love uber sparkle! Congrats on becoming the list keeper! I hope there is no drama!
I think the proposals should only be kept for a month. Like if you are posting today, you should only include June and July proposals instead of May, June, and July.
@Tunacupcakes: I think we should try to keep things as neat and clean as possible. Sometimes the list gets overly long with 3-4 months of proposals. Maybe we could do just 2 months or even one month of proposals to try to shorten it up.
Also, not that you wouldn't, but I would like to see the list kept as fair as possible with new people entering at the bottom of the list and moving upwards like the rest of us.
@helenberrycrunch: I like the idea of strassing! Glitter and Sparkles oh my!!
Yes! Sparkles do make everything better! If I can find a forum post.... strasser? I will use it generously. Just like on my myspace profile back in the day.
Ok, fairness. Definitiy important. What's the general opinion on name changes in the list?
Also, how often should the list be cleaned up? I can certainly include a clause, but I think the list needs to be cleaned up more than once a year. There are a few waiting bees who once added to the list, are never heard from again. I think cleaning the list up would be good, but if that isn't preferred, it's not a biggie.
you are going to make a fabulous list keeper! yay for tunacupcakes!!
I agree that the blurbs should be kept to just the current month, and the previous month. I also agree that the list should be cleaned up more often than once a year. Maybe every 3 months? Like, once a new season rolls around, it'd be time to clean it up, a la: time for the Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter Cleaning of the List.
Can't wait for the new list!
congrats tunacupcakes! good luck and IMO you'll make a great list keeper! :D
@wonderwoman217 - I second that!
I've gotten into the habit of telling Mr. C what number I am on the list each week - I wonder if that will hurry him up? 
YAY! First... I totally agree, you are going to be an amazing list-keeper :)
I also vote for cleaning the list (I like the idea of seasonal as Wonderwoman127 mentioned). Maybe allowing 2 weeks for people to post if they want to be kept on the list, that should be ample time for people to get on and see the post.. And I also agree with only keeping the past 1-2 months of proposal stories at the bottom. That will help a lot. I will think on new ideas, but I am not very original right now... lol
Have fun and good luck!!! :D I'm excited for the new list tonight!
The list has always been fair, so Tunacupcakes wouldn't be changing anything there.
I agree with keeping the amount of proposals on the list to one month. Any more than that seems pointless, as the old lists can always be found on the board. I definitely hope that you have some other new ideas! Have fun with it!
As far as clean-up, I would want to wait at least a month to let people post! I'm not the most active poster, but I do read the boards pretty much every day, and I would be super sad to be taken off the list if I didn't post during a two week stretch!!
@Tunacupcakes: Yay for you on list keeping!
Since I am a new bee, could you please add me to the waiting list? I hope this was the right place to ask!
Thanks!
@chipmunklove: *nods* That is my worry. I am considering with this revision that I may put a permanent clause like "List is cleaned up every ___" and then also send PM to everyone.
@onelovegal: Consider yourself added!
@Tunacupcakes: I think your idea of a clause sounds fair :-) Works for me!
@MsMamaBear: I also like that idea... it definitely does take a while to scroll to the most recent engagements!
i agree with the quarterly clean up and reducing the proposal blurb archive to a month or so out. also, i think bees who have changed their name should be placed at the bottom of the list to avoid any ruffled feathers since we don't necessarily know if they are old members with new names or straight up new members. maybe if they reveal their old name to the hive it would be okay to slip them into their previous spot?
also, sparkles would be awesome!
I agree with keeping the prosals to a month or two, I also like the idea of a clean up more often and I thinik it would be nice to know how often the list will be cleaned up for the waiting bees that aren't on a lot. I think waiting bees take time off from wedding bee depending on how their waiting is going, ok well I have anyway.
Congrats to being the new list keeper and thanks to purple bee for keeping the list up and for letting people know when she wasn't able to do it anymore!
Yay for sparkly new lists lol
@Tunacupcakes: Can you add me to it too please?
Congrats!! I like the idea of cleaning the list up some :) Also sparkles make anything fabulous!
hi, i support cleaning the list but i dont want to get cleaned off. Also it seems like a lot of work for you in the long term. You will be an awesome listkeeper!
I heart sparkles.
In terms of name changes, I personally think that it's A OK for the list keeper to pop a bee in her old spot if she changes her name. The earlier suggestion that to keep un ruffled feathers the bee in question should let the hive in on her old sn is a good one, but might not be practical in every case. If these ladies have changed their names to be able to post anonymously, it kind of defeats the purpose if they say "hey everyone! I used to be xxxx!!" you know? It's kind of a tricky spot. Personally I feel that if a situation like that did arise I would trust the list keeper to do what's fair. I'm pretty sure we can all infer whats going on if someone disapears from spot X on the list not as a result of list cleaning, and a new name suddenly appears in the very same spot. That's just my opinion though!
@ Koala Walla - I totally agree with the whole name change thing. I don't think that just because someone decided to change their name means they should lose their spot. If a Bee does this, she probably has a pretty good reason for doing so and her anonymity should be respected. I think it's just a matter of common sense on everyone else's part if something like that were to happen. Sometimes you just have to put two and two together.
@LucyLaLa: I don't want you to get cleaned off either! :) My plan is for the first post of the new season to clean the list. I will post about this every week as well as send pms to all the members who haven't been active in the last 3 months.

Tonight will be my first time posting the waiting list. This is very exciting for me! With a nod to purplebee for her listkeeping, I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions/improvements or any ideas for the list.
I'm planning on hopefully sprucing it up a bit, but I'm interested in what other waiting bees think!
For now, I think I'm going to keep my ideas a secret...
