[challenge entry] Day of the Ghosts
www.b3ta.com/calendar/event/24608



A little self-help idea I've been tossing round of late.

Rather than just moping about how the board is a shadow of its former self how about something a bit more positive.

Reach out and tap up any former b3tans that you may still be in contact with either through other social media or *gasp* actual human contact and try and persuade them to come out of the wilderness for a short while one day only a week on Wednesday. Post an image hang around for a bit chat nonsense that sort of thing.

If they then want to slope off back to wherever then hunky dory. If it encourages a few people back into a bit more activity then even better!

I've picked a Wednesday as it's the day when everyone is generally getting a bit tired of the last image compo and things are at a fairly low ebb hummus-wise.

I've no idea if the Pac-Man ghost has already been done as an icon but I needed something to include as an image :o)

# If they have left here for Facebook, then good fucking riddance.
Lure them back for a day, then we should steal their sweets and dinner money and throw their homework in the toilet.

# Actually it's a good idea.
There are several high profile former b3tans on Tw*tter. Sure I've seen Zak McFlimby on there and Bovine is definitely there too.

A couple of ex-b3tans have replied, though one is probably not coming. Thanks for the re-tw**ts those of you that have done so.

I went on my Facebook account today for the first time in weeks, purely to check everything was still set to private. Apparently Facebook is now automatically creating 'couple' pages for anyone in a relationship. *bokes*

# Pretty sure pac-man is there
Would be v surprised if the ghost wasn't.

Basically though I just needed to knock something up as an image so I didn't get snapped at, and it seemed the path of least resistance.
