OMG that sounds so good! I love donuts!

Baked stuff is my weakness.

There’s an Asian grocery chain here that does these amazing cakes. But tbh Asian baked goods are the best baked goods.

Audriella: I agree, this place is kind of my "i know everyone is nice" place lol

KC: haha xD

That could well be, too... I don't really have a good feel for how much I am (or am not) talking/posting.

So much for self-awareness!


Audriella there are sometimes user-driven pushes to do little welcome-package styles of things, you should check out the charity forum. :) I think it would be a good idea to do welcome-back and occasional just-because-as-a-thank-you-for-staying events too! Of course, none of us are very good at committing the time to run such a thing.
For instance I've offered a few times now to supply lvl 100 knuffels for such welcome packages (so people can at least have 25 digs a day to get them started), but no one is up for doing the work of running it, and that includes me.....
Maybe you can help us think up ways to divide the work further, so that we COULD accomplish it?

I just know that the post count of the top posters for this month is looking rather meager. It's 474,438,437,178,157 this moth. Last year this month it was 747,676,622,489,410 for example.

I noticed a lot of online communities are shrinking, too.

Have you thought of maybe holding a welcoming event? Coordinating it with some kind of feature launch or advertising push might bolster activity. I don’t know.

Welocme back!
Unfortunately we don't even get enough donations to cover the monthly costs. This month is our all time low so far. So there really is not any money for advertisement left, especially since, in order to have any effect at all, you need to invest a few hundred bucks. So that's out of the question. And welcoming events without new users seems pointless.

Edit: Oh, see, I just got a donut.

Oh, that is such a shame to hear! I hope Limmikin's social-site contest thing brings more people in!!

I'll do a quick survey through my family, see if anyone has any spare euros lying around that we could pool and send you.

Oh yeah, that was a super cool thing to do :o

I wonder why people are so less chatty lately.

I just got the captcha:

Queen: What one is the jewelry?
Me: -picks-
Queen: GOOD JOB! You know what jewelry looks like! -tosses Toilet paper all over me-
Me: ...

I’m home bound and usually have plenty of time on my hands—maybe someday I could pitch in some of that time. My hands aren’t great, so I can’t handle fast typing, but if someone wants a co-runner of something, I’m open.

I’ll try building up a pile of food and lamps, first, for stuff and raising knuffels to give away.

I’ll see if I can donate a little, too.
