Captain Chaoss Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I've searched the database, and found NO category for large bells, the kind that you see displayed outside townhalls, or firestations, or even on golf courses. They sit there, with a plaque, BEGGING to be rung again, but they are just for looks now. Most have had the clapper removed, so you have to settle for rapping it with your knuckles. I love these old bells and the stories that come with 'em. Unfortunately, I'm not a premium member, and unable to run a category. Any chance someone would be interested in running such a waymark, please feel free to run with it.

+Rose Red Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 “Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.” Become a premium member and create the category. It's a great idea!
+Ambrosia Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) Lol! I have wanted this category from the very beginning and suggested it right away when these forums began. But at the time we could only have 3 categories. When those were expanded, I wanted to leave some wiggle room so I did not start a bell category. But it has been bugging me and bugging me, so this weekend I finally broke down and decided I would start this category if no one else would. Funny timing! I can do it, but if someone else will I would love that also. Let me know! Here's some links that discuss it. There are others as well, but I'm not linking all of them. My original proposal A different discussion Another discussion Please! Someone stop me! Edited October 31, 2006 by Ambrosia
+The Blue Quasar Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I've been waiting too, and I have the room to do it if no one else wants to. The Blue Quasar
Captain Chaoss Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 Ok, so this idea has floated 'round a number of times..... but hasn't been made official. Unfortunately, I just can't make the jump to premium member. Guess I'll try to goad someone else into the limelight. Thanks for the links there, Ambrosia. Go for it, Quasar ! I'll vote for the category when you propose it, of course.
+Ambrosia Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Why don't you do it Quasar, if that's what you want. Put out the description here and we'll see if we like it. I'd be willing to be an officer.
+The Blue Quasar Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Here's the group link Bell Ringers Open Enrollment.... we can build together or I can write it and everyone can review it. Very flexible The Blue Quasar
+The Blue Quasar Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 Unfortunately Captain Chaoss couldn't not be made an Officer. I thought that only Leaders had to be Premium Members, but it seems it must be all Officers. I will keep CC involved in the creation of the category and hopefully they will also provide suggestions too! The Blue Quasar
