We have had some wonderful suggestions on how we can memorialize Virginia hear at the Pod. I thought I’d summarize and perhaps we should vote? And if I’m way off base on what the Peas would like, feel free to Compwalla me! ETA All four can be done. The voting is to add all 4.
So 3 ideas came up repeatedly: 1. A monthly(?) thread - Compwalla’s Call to Action - Righting a Wrong, Fighting a Battle, Challenging Ourselves - Making the World a Better Place One Pea at a Time.
2. A Pea Badge - Virginia’s “She Persisted” tattoo.
3. Using the term “Compwalla Me” when we want honest, no holds barred advice.
4. ETA Also mentioned on the other thread was a posting rank of "nevertheless she persisted".
**Naming the Craft thread was also discussed but seems to still be up for debate. (I’m don’t post on that thread so perhaps the Pas that do should make that call?)
Numbers 1 and 2 would need someone to initiate them. I’d be happy to do #1 each month but perhaps someone who was close to Virginia would like to do it.
Should we do a poll or can we just vote yeas or no here or am I way off base and who the hell does Judy26 think she is even starting this thread? ...

I think 3 can be used if wanted no matter what.
I like Elaine's suggestion (#1)

I'm going backwards and asking myself who comes to mind if I think Call to Action or something crafty and there are quite a few that come to mind. However, if you mention telling it like it is or nevertheless she persisted, the list narrows down. I like Compwalla Me because it embodies what I would expect to get from Compwalla if asking for her (no holds barred) opinion.

I'm not a crafter or post in that thread... but i do follow it... so here is my not asked for 2 cents....
I do enjoy looking at the wonderful stuff yall create... but I don't really feel like it should be named after compwalla.... she was crafty and sewed great from what I see... but she wasn't super active in that thread...
It wasn't her home on the board... you know??

I vote for the thread to be called Compwalla’s Call to Action.... rolls off the tongue nicely. And i love the idea of the Nevertheless she Persisted Pea title.

I would not force something and let it come naturally, she wasn’t known for making regular threads like Akathy was. I would prefer a profile badge.

I suggested the badge. One similiar to my (the) Phoebe one. Could be her tattoo or her signature one. You could use it or not. I know when I see her signature symbol ( I don't know the meaning behind it really ) I instantly think of her. She would be all over the board daily as a remembrance . Or the tattoo one, it really chokes me up. My feelings won't be hurt if y'all don't choose to do it. I was just throwing it out there. Ha ! Now it seems like I'm selling it. Seriously just suggesting.

I agree about the craft thread, it's not a thread that brings her to mind for me. I like the idea of a badge and Pea title.

And what happens when someone uses that Call to Action for something that is very "un-Compwalla" like?Are all Call to Actions created equal? Is there going to be a protective feeling about what can be posted there? Will it end up causing more division? The idea is well intentioned, but I really see that as something that is going to cause problems down the road.

No, we don't need a poll. You all are making this WAY too complicated.
All it needs is A person who feels strongly about memorializing her to start a thread using her name. The Akathy's What's for dinner isn't an official thread run by the admin. It is by one pea (leannec? Not sure I spelled her name right) who feels the desire to keep the dinner thread going and doing it in Kathy's memory.
dknitter starts the monthly craft thread. If SHE wants to name HER thread for someone that is her prerogative. She shouldn't be pressured into naming the thread she has been starting for a long time after anyone. She gets to pick the title of her thread.
The rest of you, if you have a topic you think Compwalla would appreciate then name it after her when you make your thread. You don't need admin's approval to name your thread. None of this has to have official approval. Just do it. Or not do it. Up to you as individuals.

I agree, it's getting a bit complicated. Make it simple. Make a badge and people can use or not, or post a thread or not.

I think all of the suggestions are wonderful ways to remember her. Especially the Call to Action thread, as Virginia was a “put your money where your mouth is” type of lady, and cared deeply about those who are vulnerable and marginalized. She would truly be honored by that.

Someone, pick up the ball, and run with it if you want a thread so badly to do daily. That's a lot of work and I applaud anyone who takes that on, but this is getting crazy. Maybe even just take some time to grieve and then come back to the topic when it's not so fresh? Just my 2 cents.

I agree with this.... it was different with AKathy and the dinner thread - AKathy was the Pea who posted that thread every day, which is why it is now named after her. I definitely would like to see a posting rank named after her, for when we hit the number of posts that Virginia had on this board (2079 - I just checked!). Or some other related number.
