OK some of you cats that are/were in I'm Not Orange; but I am Proud may remember when we did this. Since Catster now gives us more options & flexibility regarding group pages there will be a few differences. Here is my plan; If you see any potential problems with the rules, or have questions please, please please pmail me or post it in the group messages.

I am changing the groups invitation to include the following:
"we are currently holding a recruitment challenge; once you have accepted the group invitation please introduce yourselves & give the name of the cat that invited you."

This will not be 100% since many cats (myself included) don't always look to see who invited them. If their mom deleted the email then we're out of luck. You may want to
A. send the cat a furriend request (if you're not already furriends) or a pmail telling them you're going to invite them. This may slow you down; but it should help.
or
B. Once you've invited all of your furriends & family (which should be easy to confirm) you might want to do an advanced search for cats with the same name as you. You can click the option at the bottom of the page to display 20 cats at a time. You do not need to click on each cats page to get their Catster ID number. You can simply hold your mouse over the cats picture & you will see their ID diplayed on the gray bar at the bottom of your screen.
Doing it this way has several advantages, you can list their ID numbers on a piece of paper; then come to the group page, scroll down under the admin stuff & you will see a link that says "invite a new member".
Click on the link
1. click that yes they are on Catster (don't know why they put that in)
2. enter the cats ID number
3. check the box by your name that you're doing the inviting
4. click submit, a picture of the cat will come up; once you see it's the cat you intended to invite click "confirm" & the invitation is complete.

From there you an just repeat steps 2-4 over & over till you get thru with your list.

A couple of quick notes: If you are going to invite cats with the same name as you; please post it in this forum so that another cat with the same name as you won't make you waste your time or vice versa
You may also want to consider inviting cats with your sister or brothers name (It doesn't really matter; just please post the name you are working on here in this thread).

Ok soooooooooooooo what do you get out of this?
1. We will officially start this contest on Monday!
2. Anycats that joined prior to Saturday night at midnight(ish) will be tallied; the cat with the most recruits will get their picture & name on our Special Furriend wall for the next week.
each weekly winner will receive a rosette in the color of their choice
3. We will run this contest for 1 month (well 4 weeks) so on July 13th we will tally up all of the recruits & we will honor the highest total recruiter. This grand prize winner will have their picture & name on our wall for a full calendar month.
The grand prize winner will receive a furrever star for their page & a trophy with their name on it will remain under our group pics furrever!

Look here to see the BFS trophy

One more little note: Although admins may recruit (& I hope they will) they will not be eligible for any of the kudo's or prizes. That keeps it all fair!

I know you've got your paws full, but at some point maybe we could start a thread (once we have our new members) where newbies post their birthdays, so we could list their birthdays in the "event" section of the group home page...
