Can't sleep, so I thought I'd read the Message boards.
What's up with the random 30 or so odd questions on the General Scrapping board? Was it hacked? Troll? Someone bored? Someone being an obnoxious ass? What does "HH" mean/stand for?
Had to scroll past all kinds of junk, to find the scrapbooking posts.
Just curious, what's happened?

I just took a quick look. HH seems to mean happy hour. It looks like doesitmatter is posting prompts of some kind. I don't believe she's a troll...her post count is over 1000 and I've seen her post on NSBR as well. I would guess it's just to get people scrapping/chatting and there's nothing nefarious going on over there.

Ouch. Definitely not a troll. And not junk, either.
HH is Happy Hour, and it is designed to get the General Scrap board moving and more peas posting.
I thought it was really awesome of DoesItMatter to take the time and put the thought into posting all those questions.

She put a LOT of work into this even with storms and power issues! |

Lol...I wasn't there when it started, but it wasn't *that* difficult to scroll through and find the first one which explained it. Still, I'm trying to up my post count so thanks for giving me the opportunity  |

The "junk" you scrolled past had some good scrapbooking information that others were sharing. It wouldn't have been difficult to figure out if you opened a thread. Would a troll make up 30 scrapbooking questions and hack into a message board to post them? SMH
Others have joined in again this morning, so it looks like Happy Hour is still going on. I can't wait to try all of the inspiration links.

All of the HH posts DID have to do with scrapbooking. How can you look at titles like Too Pretty To Use Favorite 4th of July Product Inspiration and not know that they're about scrapbooking? Wouldn't it have taken less effort to open the posts and see what was going on that to come over here and start a whole thread? |

Shoot I totally forgot about HH. When I first read about it I was going to put an alarm on my phone to remind me guess I should have. Hope to have time this weekend to go through all the posts.

I loved all of the HH posts. I don't see the problem with keeping the threads going until everyone that wants to chime in has added their scrappy opinion. doesitmatter really took a lot of time and effort to get things moving over there. Well done you! |

Did I miss some sort of announcement here on NSBR? I wouldn't have been available anyhow but it seems to me that if there's another happy hour in the future, it would be nice to have a notice up here, where more people are.

I was not part of the old peas but I thought NSBR stood for Non(not) Scrapbook Related or something close to that. So I would never think to make an announcement about scrapbook/card making/stamping here. Maybe it is the same for doesitmatter. |

Thanks for posting this! I haven't been on GS board in almost a year. I went in checked it after reading responses on this thread and it looks like so much fun! I really need to start scrapbooking again, and these ladies look like they are having so much fun.

I know that's what it stands for, but if the point of doing something like a happy hour is to increase participation and traffic to the scrapbooking board (which, generally, it is), I don't know why you wouldn't want to put a quick note up where the traffic actually is. Especially when I think most people do not make a point of going over to check the actual crafting boards. |

Scrapbook-related stuff gets posted pretty regularly on NSBR. I think it's a great idea to post notices here, too, about what's going on over there.

My guess is you looked and there were a bunch of random stuff posted by one member and assumed it was all bogus. No harm, no foul imo. And hey, you got people to look at the scrapping board which is a good thing. |

The happy hour wasn't meant to exclude anyone! It was meant to get the board hopping and foster a sense of camaraderie among those of us who do still scrap. There are admittedly a lot of people over in NSBR who do not scrap, or who quit years ago, or moved on to other crafts. And those of us who participate in both boards are on both boards frequently. So I don't think it's strange that it wasn't advertised over here. But when we do it again I will personally try to remember to post it over here, if people are interested. In the meantime check out the threads over there! Doesitmatter did an awesome job with the topics and they are still active! Who says happy hour can't turn into Happy Days. Ha. |

Doesitmatter did a GREAT job with HH. I was too tired last night and had to go to bed so didn't participate much, but I'm planning to go back to those posts after dinner. I can do HH anytime Thank You Doesitmatter for a job well done and taking the time to do it ! |
