Guys, don't forget the random donuts outside the caravan are a reward to active people

And I'm sure Firn won't ever decide to make things too easy, she's already regretting some things.
I think it's a "let's try this and see" from Firn, because she's really trying to encourage people to post more, so the site will get more activity and therefore maybe new users will stick for longer than they do. I took a peek at the newbies welcome forum, and found 2 people who registered in October, logged in for a week or so and then they are gone since then so.... It's not a good sign. We may be a very warm community, but there's not many of us and so new users see no activity and get bored easily I guess.
Food through posting: Sure, but it's enough if you have many knuffels that give you tons of food in many ways, we have room contest trophies that give out food every day. There's simply too many ways to get food without posting and so there's not much demand on regular food these days.
Tokens: many people think it just takes too long to get to the 10 tokens daily. I forgot to log on Asherin a few days ago and I'm back to 1. Plus it's not only that Troth Tent items are very expensive on their own, I'm not sure anyone buys them anymore, but we also get expensive (45 each nowadays, oh gosh) monthly token items and it's just a bit too much hassle for some. They don't care about tokens. Maybe it's the items that aren't as interesting, Idk.
Coupons, Captcha, they don't happen too often if you're not active much. But it's also just an addition to taking care of your knuffel or getting materials. The better way to do it is to just dig for mats. And Idk how many people actually use coupons. If they do, they probably just buy them in Daycare, because they sell items for ginormous food.
Donuts will also be random, just as the coupons and captchas, so I suppose the biggest chance to get them is for active people. Unless they are fairy-random, then nobody will ever get them
My theory is, people will try to post more for random donuts for this month, then they will stop again. Firn is trying to increase the forum activity becasue the Candy Caravan is not enough anymore. It used to make an activity boom for the first few months, then it got back to normal basically. So maybe the incentive of "you can also get donuts outside of the caravan, if you try a bit" is the thing Firn is trying out. You can't really blame her for trying, can you, if the Caravan itself stopped being of help? I surely did notice there's not much of a bigger activity during the caravan, haven't you?
