Blackdaisies/Simtopi shared this on Twitter, and I think this is a wonderful idea for the season. Warm fuzzies for all!If there's any one you want to anonymously let know you think is awesome, or maybe throw your own hat into the ring, possibly make some new friends.

That is a sweet idea. I wish there were a place for our little circle to do something similar - I don't know any of those people, and they don't know me either, lol!

I got some really nice comments last year. I replied to the first one, and wanted to reply to all of them but no one else was replying to theirs so I cowed and conformed like a wuss and didn't respond to the others. And I admit that I went through and looked at the journals of people who didn't have any messages yet and thought of stuff to say to them. Even if posting anonymously felt wrong and bad - figured it was a good cause and, for once, the ends justified the means. Don't think I'll participate this year - haven't been as active in the Sims community and also feel even less comfortable with anonymous stuff. Also, there was a secret about it the week after, and I remember reading the comments because there were two secrets about me in the same post. And one person posted anonymously and said that it was good and that the Sims community needed more positivity, but also responded negatively to the two secrets about me and insulted me. That's always bothered me - the poster seemed reasonable and sane and like a decent person. So their hate for me must have been valid with good reasoning, but I don't know who or why so I can't fix whatever is wrong with me that made them hate me. Anyway - it is good if you're into that sort of thing. If you guys want to do it, you can. You can post anonymously on here, actually. Going back to last year's post to read the responses I got. It really is a good thing.

It's a great idea, but yeah, I don't think I'll be participating either, at least not on the LJ-posted one. I don't know most of the people on LJ from Adam, and I wouldn't want to join in if I knew I wouldn't be able to think of anything to say to anyone.
I do love the idea, though; if I knew enough people, I'd be happy to jump in.

I lied.
I signed up.
Decided I could use some positivity.
Looking through the list for people I know now.

Okay, so reading through that post - once I got past the "OMG, if people are complimenting others on being nice and approachable and not letting things go to their heads, does that mean that they think I am a pretentious snob?!" and actually looked at it through sane rational glasses...
I think it'd be awesome to have our own version. You guys want like a whole WordPress blog (I've got three I'm not using right now, although I may use one for a new Sims story I've got in the works) or a thread on here or our own LJ comm?

I think it would awesome to have our own version. I do not feel comfortable putting myself up on LJ - a community of strangers to me.
I don't mind what we use - although thinking about it, do we all have LJ accounts/do we need LJ accounts to comment?

I think a word press would be perfect, and then we can get the word out to the blogger and wordpress people who might not feel comfortable posting on LJ. I have to admit that even I feel nervous posting my username on the LJ one. No one there knows me really. But I will be passing on the positivity!

I have both WordPress and LiveJournal so I'm fine with anything.

Ooh, thanks for sharing the link! I just wanted to let people know that it's not just for LJ people and I get that you may not know a lot of LJers there and they may not know you. If you have an OpenID or even want to post anonymously and just share your Wordpress link and/or username then link back here so people will know where to find you, that would probably be fine as well.

I'm still thinking about it, lol. I'll probably pass on another link when I update. Really, I just love the idea.

I think it would awesome to have our own version. I do not feel comfortable putting myself up on LJ - a community of strangers to me. I don't mind what we use - although thinking about it, do we all have LJ accounts/do we need LJ accounts to comment? I don't think we all have LJ accounts, but a lot of us do. And you don't need a LJ account to comment. Or a WordPress one to comment on WordPress. So I came up with this, if you guys want to use it. If you do, feel free to spread the word and the link. If people start using it, I'll make a sticky about it. vsswarmfuzzies.wordpress.com/It's set up to allow anonymous comments and the comments don't need to be approved, and I chose the maximum number of levels for nested comments. If it gets to the point where it's slow to load, like the Alice & Kev posts with hundreds of comments, I'll do the breaking the comments into pages things. If anyone has any suggestions for making it pretty or adding images to the post, that's cool. I won't go on my break just yet - I'll check this thread and my PMs if someone wants to donate a holiday Sims pic or something. And I think more than one of the four comments I've gotten on the LJ one so far came from people here. Thanks, you guys.
