India forums needs to be more inclusive! *Admin's Reply PG-6* - Page 5

The thing is someone has to take the unitive to create the thread. So much hard work, commitment, team work, and dedication goes behind the scenes of these threads. Why did you see a Paryushan thread for the first time? Because I wanted to create it knowing that there are not many Jains that I know on IF. But just thought it was something new and a thread that hasn't been created before by the CC team, probably because no one knows about it. So my point is that someone has to step up and take the initial step/initiative. I had to quit the team because it was a bit too time consuming for me. But I love making these types of creative threads and it was fun being a part of the team, working with amazing individuals, and leaning something new about India everyday.


About the sports... If you want I'll create a Sania Mirza thread...it all comes back down to taking the first initiative and interest level.

Thank you, Vijay ji! Handling a site certainly ain't an easy task, so kudos to you and your team!

Thank you admin.😊

^ sure people should take interest in things related to india. But you or I can't force anyone to take that interest. Many people are lazy to create threads that are long and time-consuming. If you're passionate about something, then create the thread and request it to be GAed. I assure you, if the thread is appropriate it will be GAed. The CC team can't create all the threads. Sometimes we can too. GA threads have limitations too. Not every thread can be GAed. But my whole point is that threads can be created by anybody. It's not restricted to certain people. If you want a Sania Mirza thread, YOU create it. YOU take some effort and time to do so. I'm sure people will respond. Someone has to make the move.

Those on "India" Forums have no interest in India?

Anyway, I didn't know anyone can create a thread and request it GAed.

I lack knowledge on embellishing such threads. So I stay back. Even celeb birthday thread I made till now was quite rudimentary. I am new to such things. I can write but graphics and all, I lack knowledge on these.

^ The Crazy Creative team usually takes care of all the major festival threads. The lesser known ones, like Paryushan, are not made because no one knows about it. But if a non-CC member knows about a festival than they can create it and request it to be GAed. You just want to be sure that no threads are duplicated cause then your hard work goes in vain.


Celebrity birthday threads, natural disaster threads, etc that you see GAed are mostly always made by non CC members. All you have to do is request them to be GAed. If they cannot be GAed you'll be given a reason as to why not.


Every thread doesn't always need graphics. Build a team. Collaborate. Work together. Don't show laziness. Educate those who don't know much about India.

I always try to educate in any way I can.

I don't know who is good with graphics.

But yeah if we can make threads then good.

Not lazy, just that I didn't know the rules and technicality behind it.

For eg, if I had to make a thread on Ambedkar Jayanti then in which section it would be made? I don't know about permissible sections either.

This is first time I learnt anyone can make a thread! I thought ordinary users can only make birthday threads.

^ There are many people who are good at graphics. Just check out the 'Avatar and Signature Shop' section of IF.
