Wohoo! Where is the "spend 50mil sp on a donation drive" option? That's how we all got together in the first place. :P

Also can we join more than one category?

Now this reminds me I saved up to buy prizes and then hold a luminaire themed contest and raffle. Should really try to set that up, so people have time to participate. rustles off

Hadn't considered that option!

I thought it would be nice to keep the SS costs low this year just in case there are more ridiculous sp sinks in January like there were the past two years

Want to weigh in? As far as I'm concerned, if users want to join more than one category, they're free to. They can have a Baby Santa Shark, a Hammerhead Santa Shark, and a SANTA SHARKNADO! :P

I have a food gallery :) I love collecting food!

Doing good. How about you? Right now I am just surfing the net and waiting for the new Supernatural to start :D

^^ I guess it's for the better, besides that leaves me with more sp for prizes. I fear what they'll come up with this year. Anything is better than another donation drive though. Makes the site crash and there is no much fun in it, especially after so and so many times in a row.

Ooh gallery! I haven't actually started one of those, yet!

I'm actually making some Christmas cards C: They're super involved, actually, heh.

Plus now we have more sp to stuff each other's trees with hehe :)

And yeah, seriously. I really hope it's not another donation drive. Even with the server switch tomorrow, I can't imagine the site will handle it well. I would certainly prefer an event that doesn't require us to be active on the site all day. That whole work thing keeps me busy!

I have never tried the Mysterious Melody option - I worry about junk gifts or super kind folk who I cannot match with generosity!

Yeah, fine and dandy to join all/any groups. If you have the sp to spread more cheer, let's do it!
If you have a specific wishlist suited to a lower or higher group, you can provide a direct link to help the Santa/s.

Ooh, card making! I must get on doing mine too. My to-do list for real life is not getting any shorter...

HA looking seasonal as ever there! The cat-in-lights is very funny.

Note for anyone sMailing me to join Hammerheads group: I will be on and off this weekend due to family stuff, but should be able to catch up Sunday.

Here's my example sMail for the Secret Santa Shark! (It does not have to be like a letter. That is just me taking it very seriously)

Sleep time here, so I will see you on the other side of the site upgrade... Hang on to the Tank, Sharks!

Ugh, I know, right! The list is ENDLESS.

SANTA SHARK SANTA SHARK DOES WHATEVER A SANTA SHARK DOES CAN THEY GIFT STUFF YES THEY CAN SANTA SHARK

idk why that popped into my head but it did so...yea.

Also i just got a subeautique invitation while in the subeautique shop. Lol.

Sometimes I think I have too many (5) lol.

Thanks :D I couldn't resist the kitty!

i like to feed them fat with heartburn and diabetes. Santa Jaws takes a bite of cookie and sip of milk out of respect to all those anemonemones he visits on Lumieve. Thanks to his trusty anti-acids. The Sharktic Frost is sparkly because of all the crystalline sugar this time of year. 8)

rain, sleet, snow, mailmen. they make you happy with their package.

Lol that is cute :D

cactusvvanged a lot of you, time to sleep through update :3 happy holidays

Yay, the site is back up ~

And really fast too, this is a good sign. :o

Ooh, the site is loading really fast. I hope the 502/504 errors are gone for a while. I love everyone's Luminare themed HAs. So cute. I just threw something on mine because of all the errors, but I want to spend a few minutes on Saturday really dressing it up.

I do want to participate in the Secret Shark, but my wish lists need cleaning up first. I love giving gifts. :)

Also, why did I go from 4 stars to 2 stars under my name?

Has anyone chosen their tree? I'm waiting to see what the new ornaments will be this year.

yay now questing

The stars have been messed up since the forum updates, along with a few other things. I assume they'll be fixed at some point, but the database move was the biggest priority.

I'm doing the same ~

I'm glad the site's up, and it didn't even take a whole 12 hours! Plus the fast loading times and stuff are very promising, I hope the new servers help with removing the errors and such.

yeah looking good. My subeta map is still minuscle - and I can not use t to acsess anything. But I already have a ticket open an will wait

hey sharkies, long time no talk from me :3c i agree though please no donation drive, my mug collection still hasnt recovered from last year

Yeah, I still have a bunch of tiny images showing up. Mine are mostly item images though, thankfully not the maps and stuff. It's such a weird problem, I know they're looking into it but it doesn't even make sense because it's random and different for everyone. /:

I hate the donation drives. I know it's meant to be an sP sink, but I feel like there are better ways to go about that. Plus it still semi-encourages hoarding, if people want to guess what kinds of items will be asked for next time.
