Dear LindseyLou,

Perhaps speedfigure will post her final version. She added a Clarice pocket at my request. Totally fabulous!

Sadly, this is not allowed here.

Quote from post from a moderator (post #705) on previous page:





Good luck finding one on ebay or something. It is possible after searching there that you could find someone who makes them and would be willing to customize one for your family -- ebay does have a contact seller feature.

I interrupt this program for............

okay sooooo...........
I know that we talked about and did this on our meet and greet thread....is this aloud or did we just not get noticed???
Not trying to make a scene, just wondering....PLEASE NO FLAMES???
Becasue i know that i purchased one from someone on our meet and greet thread and so did many others.......
JUST SAYIN

ALSO please again no flames....
Does a moderator really expect that a disser is going to "TURN SOMEONE IN"


okay i am done go back to your regularly scheduled program.....still in session

ya i'm confused about that too - i'm not sure why it violates anything if you ask someone to make one for you.

i would think that's what this board is all about - helping people have the best trip possible advice is only 1 aspect and if someone is offers to help someone by making something to help them out i don't understand what the problem is.

 

[tjbaggott]

I checked out the ones currently being offered on Ebay, and I must say, although I'm not that crafty, I'll make my own! I wouldn't pay what the sellers are asking. With shipping and the exchange rate, that fish extender will cost me just over $60.00 through ebay, and to me that is absurd! If and when I do make one myself, I'll post a photo of it here!

Look at post #2 (OK 9 inches might work).

Okay, now I'm worried. I read where someone said 8 inches across but mine ended up 8.5 inches across, which sounds like it will work. However, after I put the Mickey Heads on the ends of the dowel rod, mine will actually end up being closer to 10.5 inches. Will that still fit or should I forget about the Mickey heads??? Does anyone know what the actual width of that part of the wall is? If it is already posted, please forgive me. I have read this thread in it's entirety but it's been in bits and pieces as the thread has evolved and I can't remember if it is posted somewhere.

TIA

BTW, as soon as I get it finished, I will post a picture. Other than the fact that I'm afraid it might be a bit wide with the Mickey Heads on the dowel rod, I am very thrilled by the way it is turning out.

Perhaps a moderator will chime in, but I _think_ the problem is that the dis specifically wants to avoid being in the middle of an exchange of money. For example, there are all of the Dis-signers (sp?) who make graphics for people out of the goodness of their hearts: Tom, Breezebus, those who post on other boards. The Dis has no problem with that. I know about the woman who is a disboard member and a big seller on Ebay. I plan to patronize her in the future since her embroidery machine rocks. Both her Dis name and her ebay name can be found in the disboards. But she can't advertise here. The Dis doesn't want to be involved in any way where they could be liable for fraud, etc. I know that disers are great people, but the boards need to CTA, or there won't be boards. I think that is the difference.

If I haven't made any sense, I apologize for wasting people's time.

No time wasted. That is a good analysis of it.

The policies involved are

FOR SALE For sale ads are strictly prohibited on any of the DISboards. Anyone posting such ads will have their post deleted. This same policy applies to links to your ebay/auction listings . "For sale" posts includes requests for donations (see below). In addition, "Vote for me" posts are not permitted on the DIS. This includes requests for support in an online contest, sweepstakes, lottery or other event designed to yield personal gain.

and

7. ADVERTISING: The advertisers/sponsors who you see on the DIS are carefully chosen. While we welcome discussion of them as well as other businesses that you have information or questions about, if its determined that you are using the DIS to promote a commercial venture, you will lose your posting privileges. This includes choosing a username/signature that refers to your business. In addition, links to the company's website will be blocked. Also note that we do not want the boards to be used for solicitations or for requesting referrals. Requests for advertising can be directed to webmaster@wdwinfo.com for consideration.

To answer the comment about DISers utilizing the reported post function, yes, we do receive many of these when a violation is seen on the boards. The Meets threads are under the same guidelines as the main forum.

There is a big difference. The difference is offering advice is free. When services and money become involved, that is someone using the DIS boards to make a profit and that is what is not permitted.

DIS apointing that people dont have any thing better to do with their time than "report" other people.

Also are the PMs under the same scrutiny???

The guidelines are in place to keep the DIS boards a family board and not a place for people to make a profit. If you do not like the guidelines, you need to contact admin@wdwinfo.com.

If it weren't for the DISers who do go by the guidelines and take the time out of their day to help us by reporting posts this would be a very different place. There are rules almost anywhere you go so this is not an uncommon thing. Posting on the DISboards is considered a privilege and it can be taken away if someone insists on not following the guidelines that are set and posted.

PMs are not screened but if someone reports a PM then yes, the moderators and webmasters are made aware of it.

Do a search on eBay for "disney hanging storage", instead of "fish extender". You'll see a good number of FE's for around $15 or less.

I would never consider this a board for people to make a profit.........
I never said i had a problem with the guidlines...............................
I still think it sucks that people feel the need to "tattle"..................
Continue on with the Fish Extender making.................................

I was kept awake the other night by barking dogs from 2:00am until after 5:00am, so I thought I would put my time to good use.

I decided to retire my first FE and leave it hanging in our Sun Room when we cruise in May.

Here is my new one! I think I used my time wisely.

I love your new FE!!! You Rock!!

 

[binky1]

WOW LuvTheEars - That is awesome!!!

Where did you get the embroidered DCL logo? Or do you have one of those fancy-schmancy sewing machines where you can download "stuff"?? My aunt has kindly offered to use her fancy-schmancy machine to put names on my FE but if I could find the logo somewhere too.....

Great job!!

Yes, I do have a fancy-schmancy embroidery machine. I'm honestly not sure where the DCL logo came from. You might try eBay. Do a search for Disney Cruise Embroidery.
