You two can make your travel plans later. ;D
Thanks guys.
Still no word from arc. :( :dontknow:
-MM-
Good Enough! :thumbsup:
Just a question though who's going to decide what Kid makes banner?
Could get interresting with who ever decides it! :laughing9: :laughing7: :D

I would think it would be votes from members & the MODs just like now.
Of course we need to lower the bar as far as finds go. This is supposed to be a fun & encouraging experience for kids. :icon_thumleft:

No problem at all. :icon_thumleft: I was talking with 4-H the other day and he (Mike) & his wife run a 4-H camp in the NC mountains.
He said the kids love to detect at the camp. The idea just popped into my mind so I thought I would post it up for others input too. I don't get too many good ideas, so this was one of those rare moments. :tongue3: :laughing9:
I guess it's up to Marc now. :icon_scratch:

I hold an annual fishing derby for the neighborhood kids and they love it. Like you mentioned above, a lot of kids today are soft due to tv, computers, cell phones, etc. I was like you, always outdoors and finding some adventure as a kid. :icon_thumleft:

Have a great holiday TK.

Lowering the bar meaning every time a kid posts it makes the banner. You really couldn't have it any other way. I think a kids forum might be better than a banner if you're trying to create interest.

IP,
What I said above was:
How about adding a second banner just for kids say 15 and under?...............
As far as the banner for kids, I'm thinking maybe a silver coin, token, piece of jewelry, old button, etc. would be worthy.


Maybe you thought I meant their finds would be on the same banner as the current one? :icon_scratch:
I meant add another banner up top and label it "Banner Kids".

What do you think?
-Doug-
P.S. Kirk is too old to be on the kids banner. Physically, I mean. :laughing9: :tongue3:

No, I got ya. But a forum as a first step makes more sense.

Kirk will be upset to hear the news.

I'm sorry, after asking the mods what I missed, (after receiving an angry PM over this) I was pointed to this topic... This is the first time I've seen it.

I am sorry I have been unable to follow ALL the posts and threads.... :P

Anyway, since you need to be at least 13 to register here, we really shouldn't have anyone younger than teenagers here.

How many teenagers do we have? I do not know....

At any rate, I Always appreciate your feedback, and am sorry sometimes is slips under my radar.

After consulting with the mods, and others, we'll pass on this one.

Thanks though.

Marc

Marc,
I appreciate your reply. I didn't realize there was an age limit here on TN, so now I know. It sounded like a great idea though. ;D
Thanks again, and I'm sure we all can understand you being overwhelmed with the amount of posts on this site.
No hard feelings, :occasion14:

Teenage visitors or teenage members? I can attest that there are quite a few visitors my friend. They posted stuff all last summer to see it pop online.
Besides...What a great way to obtain some future t-netters eh?
Just thinking
