It has been highlighted that TT needs to take a more proactive vision towards the integration of newer members. I for one would like to see a vertical integration platform that we can use to produce seamless synergies throughout the network. But we cannot do it without your help. We need more people investment towards a future vision, and I am confident that with the assembled team we have here, that you people can think out of the box to develop an ongoing proactive solution. Volunteers are needed for this working co-operative initiative.
p.s. Raft building is cancelled this weekend.

Wow, Johnny, you are really pushing the edge of the envelope there. I would like to take this opportunity to say that your positive contribution to helping us all to grow together as a team and extend the network of personal relationships that make TT such a great big glowing ball of happy happy and efficent posters has gone unrecognised for too long. We need to get some face time on this and create a 4,5 point plan asap if not sooner.

I'm setting up pre-meetings on the back of a matchbook right now. I will also order coffee mugs with inspirational messages.
The incremental futuristic advantages of these outwardly simple but intrinsically sophisticated tokens of the systematized improvement of our overall return on postage will be increasingly essential to our reverse of the sub-optimisation and we should aim for a tight time-phase response here.
Go power.

FYI as a heads up I too have the same mindset people. However I have an issue with multi-tasking so I'll take a phased approach in rolling out my contribution. I've got some challenges but we can take that offline.

Finally an inititive that is really going to push us forward as a community to where we need to be. I think we should be looking at a just-in-time approach to development of new forum interactors, so we can systematically integrate them into the core team. Using discipline and what we all know as hard-learned-lessons the forum fulcrum will be able to not only shift but balance out any anomalies caused by our expansion.
Suggest an excerise in cucumber picking for the new guys with key established linchpins to really welcome them to the fold.

This all looks like it's driving the bus from good to great, but there is a clear lack of outside of the box thinking and imagineering. We need to challenge the concept and focus on disciplined transaction based value preservation.

I believe we need to schedule a consultation meeting on proactive micro-adaptation of the vertical structure to discuss the feasibilities of said co-operative initiative prior to attending any pre-meeting. While pushing the envelope is certainly worthy of consideration, we need a synergy movement as a proactive approach to community development which reflects the diverse needs of Toytown.

For a more seamless, dynamic, proactive exchange of ideas, I firmly believe that we need a open forum of forum members for discussion of member's discussions on the forum. Thanks to JE for spearheading this initiative.

Whilst applauding the pro-active statements expressed here we should not loose sight of the fiscal ramifications of this new direction we envisage taking, vis-a-vie the time spent to information given aspects of this new enterprise. As a multi-layered structure of team members operating on an individual basis, the full repercussions of any volunteered information and the ramifications to the individuals working efficiency should be fully investigated and in the fullness of time a cost/worth analyses should be forthcoming.

Will there be diversity protection safeguards in place from the onset? I would formally suggest that dissatisfaction management courses and minority protection questions be settled by a representative cross section of established contributors, with no bias being accorded to gender, race, creed or number of toes.

I would like to think that we transend such structures which, while still respected their contribution in the past must be deconstructed in order to free our creative urges and allow us to focus on our core values, without losing sight of new opportunities to expand beyond the traditional territory of the current corporate form.

We should obviously establish a recourse for such dissatisfaction. There should be implanted in the framework, of any proposals to detect and highlight any bias within posting, an intrinsic flexiblity of non-accepted conformity to the usual norm. Failure to adhere to such norm, as speculated in the framework, would precipitate the requirement to, within clear guidelines, highlight the ways in which breaches of said norms were made.

I think we need to move beyond the framework to a definition of creative space that allows the organisation to grow in a non-organic manner will allowing for value-orietated preservation of our core features.

Some excellent initial postings here, but we must be careful not lose sight of our main goal objective. TT is a finely balanced situation, heavily weighted towards the more experienced posters and with this in mind I think we must streamline innovative relationships and forge ahead into virgin territory. It is refreshing to see everyone is really together on this one, because as we all know there is only one I in ideal.

Whilst I am delighted with the huge surge in proactive ideas, we must keep this ball rolling and find a mutual (Fuck fuck I said mutual again) mechanism that measures the cutting edge results we all aspire to within the emerging framework.

The Lord will not help to rectify any pre-prejudices that may occur from long established lines of communication that are inherent in the working bounds of the forum.

@Aschaffenburgboy. I am frankly concerned that you are not willing to break the boundaries into a new mindset. It is no good simply charging ahead. We are trying to formulate a strategy here, so that we can move forwards into top gear. Right now this thing is looking like a 3 way street and quite frankly if you are unwilling to make a valued contribution to this team initiative then we may need to withdraw your invite to the next paintballing weekend. Please try and stay on track or the excellent progress we are making will be wasted. We are only looking for team players in this thread. Remember there is only one U in unable.

Ok ok I know it. We seem to be taking a very minamalist approach approach (fuck i am losing it) here. I like the ideas but do they have a sound basis in reality. I would also add the caveat that many of these processes have been implemented previously but it still lead to the mindless seal culling of Tiger_lily.
Maybe we should call it the Tiger Lilly programme. It sounds pure.

As a pädagogik graduate, I feel we should all take part in some team building exercises to increase the level of cooperative motivation. There are also obviously intercultural issues that need to be dealt with. I suggest a weekend in the Alps, where each older members adopts a newbie to be their "special partner" for the duration of our stay. I will be bringing newspaper and sellotape for the obligatory bridge building contest, and there will be a number of games which involve somebody leaving the room and returning to guess what is going on. Should the weather be nice, we may also perform trust building exercises involving falling off a ladder and possibly abseiling.

people, people, slow down. although I find your pro-active, pro-synergy, pro-living and pro-premeeting talk to be a highly positive initiative we are forgetting the grassroots. I propose talks of initiating the possibility of having a feasibility check on setting up a committee. I would suggest a highly feng suay approach to proactive non negativity with a lateral entrance.

The establishment of our drive to a uniform acceptability should not be hindered by the use of any one example, this will divert (through disassociation of new cases) the mind set of our current and potential new member enablers. We should instead be keeping our eye on the ball and our a heads in the game, while we focus on a flexible solution.
