Would any bunnies want to join the MetaEtsy team? I know there was an Etsy thread around here some time back...

Also, anyone have ideas what to call the team? MetaEtsy sounds kinda weird...

Is a team only for sellers? I'm just a buyer, but if there's a place on the team for me, I'll join!

You could call it Etsytera.

oh god what the hell is wrong with me

"MetaEtsy" sounds too much like 'metastasis."

Metsy.

Why aren't you putting bunnies into the name? Meta-Bunnies or something...?

Including "bunnies" might be confusing to the MeFi only people, but you could include Mecha! The Mefi/Mecha Etsy team.

Anyone with an account is eligible and totally welcome!

I was thinking it should be Metabunnies earlier, but I don't know if people over on MeFi proper count as bunnies (or if newer members will get it)?

Metsy! Yes! Thank you! (Duh.) If I can't find or think of anything better, Metsy it is.

Mechabunnies is *so* going to be the name of my giant robotic rabbit army.

i like Etsytera.
What about non-mefis?

Anyone with a Metafilter or Metachat account who is on Etsy, so yes! Managing two teams with so much user overlap would just get messy.

...so yeah, interested non-mefi bunnies please email me.

There isn't any immediacy, right? Because stuff will be easier after next week or so, ya know…

I'd like to do it...although my Etsy account has been empty as of late. It would be a good way to get started again.

Is there a link to it yet? How do I find the team? I just opened a store on etsy though I haven't started actually selling yet.

I was planning to send the actual application tonight after collecting a decent number of interested users and making up a banner (hence the need for a team name). It seems they're setting up teams manually right now, so no, there isn't a page yet. I will definitely post a round of updates when they set one up.

You can always sign up later - I just have to email them the new user names.
