WHO IS THIS
Permalink  

 I just joined "Pick This Place" Forum recently and it occurred to me maybe we should start another guessing game and call it "Who is This".  We could post photos of famous people and you have to guess who they are. If we can get enough starters I will e-mail the Webmaster with a request to start a new thread under the General Forum..

Good idea or not ??

Sounds like a great idea. I presume you mean famous people out in the real world, not from the forum.

 You certainly have missed the point MaryJane in a big way  !!!!!! disbeliefdisbeliefdisbelief It's not that these fine distinguished gentlemen are not famous, it's just that they'd be too easy to pick....biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

 Not yet. But I've sent a message to our Webmaster, Cindy to ask if we can run this thread permanently, the same way as "Pick This Place". Hopefully she will agree.

Just my tuppence worth but if the thread is left floating wouldn't it give it a better chance of getting support if it kept getting bumped to the top by people participating smile

We already have enough Sticky threads on this sub forum to my thinking..

Thanks for the input Bob and Cooee. As I mentioned, I have sent a PM to the Webmaster Cindy. Hopefully she will come up with a suggestion. I'll post her response with her approval, or maybe she will post direct.

Could also be "who am I", with a series of questions/answers/hints - not photos.

A suggestion if I may, make a rule...No idle post number building, wombat bashing chit chat on the thread or the pages will quickly blow out of control and hints will be impossible to find. smile

Totally agree Neil and Lynne. Can I ask one question in case I get the opportunity to win and play.
I presume doing this on the phone I would need to Google to find a famous person.
How do I then transfer it to this post?
I'm hoping there will be others wondering the same thing.
