KatKwery: Wow! We had a winner in the very last sentence in yesterday's thread! Glitch used Menu (as in Shop Menu) and was the winner. Congratulations, Glitch! The words the kats did not chose were: bank, payment, time, and daily.

I was getting in a rut so have been posting these at different times.

The first five gifts ever given on TCS were 1._______, 2._______, 3._______, 4._______, and 5. _______.

Congratulations!
That's the third time this month for you. But not to fear, there are 100,000 points to be won in the second part coming up right away in KatKwery!

Answer: Click on Shop Menu, Most Sold, then view Gifts and go to last page. If you are unsure of the gift click on the username to take you to that member's profile where you can read the gift given.

KatKwery: (700 points)
Do you like receiving or giving gifts the most? What is your favorite gift? Do you think the interest rate cut will reduce the overall number of gifts given? Do you think the Arcade will reduce the overall number of gifts given? Do you think there should be a "super" gift you could buy (like a bigger icon?)

Do you like receiving or giving gifts the most?
Ive never given a gift, but its really nice getting them, especially from people you dont know (which is everyone for me).
What is your favorite gift?
no preference here.
Do you think the interest rate cut will reduce the overall number of gifts given?
No I dont think so, I think most people will be earning points from posts not interest rates.
Do you think the Arcade will reduce the overall number of gifts given?
Yes I think that could definitely be a possibility when people start buying the arcade passes.
Do you think there should be a "super" gift you could buy (like a bigger icon?)
Absolutley not! It would make the whole icon/gift area uneven! If you have a big icon somewhere the rest of the line would be lower and then there would be a big blank spot and it would just look awful. Maybe a super gift like..a rotating image, like three days a week its an unpoped popcorn kernel, the other three its a piece of popcorn, and the last day its got butter on it, that would be cool! But super size no.

Congratulations Glitch

I love too give gifts out

its soo much fun, i dont think anything in the world could possibly stop people giving gifts out!
Although saying that the arcade has become an addiction too some members and the miniute you have too start paying for the arcade pass gift levels may drop slightly but there is such a friendly and caring atmosphere that this wont make much of a difference......
a super gift sounds absoloutley fabulous!
i like that idea..................
oooh giant pink kitty

Giving gifts is my favorite thing to do - anything to put a smile on someones face

I don't think that the arcade will stop members from buying as many gifts - they are just too much fun!

it would be nice if an arcade pass was a gift choice... but i guess we'll have to settle for donating the amount, instead!

I like giving and receiving gifts about the same. I don't think the new interest rate or the arcade will affect gift giving too much. IMO a giant gift isn't a good idea. For one there probably wouldn't be room for it where gifts are displayed when you post.

I really like to get gifts, but I like giving them more. Although I often give gifts in the Rainbow Bridge forum, and it gets depressing to be in there too much.
I like to give the hjerte, and the shooting star. I like receiving anything, though!

I'm too klutzy to play the arcade, so that really hasn't changed my gift giving practices. I doubt the interest thing makes that big of a difference and I'm still trying to find my clock and how to reset it once it counts down, LOL!

I like giving and getting gifts. It makes me feel good to give someone a smile or at least know they are being thought about on their birthday or just because. The interest rate cut has not cut down on the amount of gifts I give. Thankfully I have saved enough that I think I should be fine. I have wondered if the arcade would reduce the amount of gifts given just because I know how addicting it can be
Not sure if I would want the option for a super gift just because of the amount of space it would take up.

Congratulations Yam


I think I like giving gifts the most (just like presents at Christmastime) and when I enter the Plaza to buy them, I think it's fun scrolling through all the options available! But I do admit it is fun receiving them too! I'm new to the new boards and just meeting new people so it is a fun way to get to introduce yourself. My favorite gift... it's hard to choose. I am thankful for all of them! I like my butterfly from Kim (kluchetta), since I remember her from when we joined the boards 3 years ago, not to mention that I love butterflies and their representation of change and hope! I also received a gift of points from taterbug so that I could buy my childhood cancer ribbon so that meant a lot to me! And I also cherish my LifeRing from MuleNag representing our newfs and my heart from Cocoalily representing our common Twix kitties. Ugh... it's so hard to pick. I love the ones that have a meaning behind them! It's to hard to pick just one... I adore different one for different reasons... but if I was forced to pick and could only keep one... I would say I cherish my cancer ribbon the most.

I wasnt active on the boards when the interest rate was high, so I dont think I have as much of an opinion on that subject; although I can say that I enjoy that we get an interest rate at all... so I think that part is fun! And I dont think that the cut will reduce the number of gifts given;however, I think the arcade might have a slight impact as users might want to save their points for that... but then again, I think that will encourage more activity on the boards or in contests! On that note, I would love to see a mega-gift offered for sale. Give us something to aim for. What good is having a bank full of points if there is nothing spend them on? You can only buy so many gifts, and there are some (although I cant imagine who
) that dont frequent the arcade. Of course... all this is coming from someone with a new bank! LOL

But, I know I worked hard when I wanted to graduate to Super Cat so that I could earn my Personal Avatar. That was a cool incentive, I looked forward to reaching that mark and enjoyed making my animation!

I like giving points the most so that other people can buy gifts. My favorite gift is a simple thank you. I think that both the interest rate cut and the arcade cannot but help cut into points available for spending. That is the whole purpose of both, isn't it? As far as a super gift, I had in mind something like my spinning spiral. But smaller. I do see that arcade items are much larger than normal gifts so it was just a question that came to mind.

I like giving and receiving gifts! I love any PM so getting gifts puts a PM in my box and usually giving gifts does too! So gifts are fun!

I like both of my gifts...I don't have many to choose from...
They are both for my dog and while I will always consider myself a cat person, my dog is my life and has stolen my heart so I really like that the gifts are 'cuz of her.

I know that I will probably be a bit stingy when it comes to gift giving now due to the arcade. Can't say the interest thing affected me 'cuz I didn't understand interest until the one KatKwiz, but I bet it will reduce the overall gift exchanges.

Oh yeah a super gift would be fun!! But it would have to be really fun to make me want to spend points on it rather than the arcade!

I like giving the gifts the best, but it is fun recieving one, especially when you're not expecting it!! I would like to be able to give out arcade passes sometimes, but thats not available right now! I dont really have a favorite gift, but seeing the dancing cow always cheers me up!! All of it is way too much fun!! I like the idea of a super gift, but it would have to be planned just right! I also like the idea of being able to customize a gift for someone special! I think it would be worth it to spend the xtra points to give something that really suits them! I tend to think that the interest rate has decreased the amount of gifts given... I think I have only recieved 3 since then, and I use to give out alot more also! Not I almost feel like Im pinching pennys to try to save some for when they are really needed! Like when someones cat passes away, its nice for them to get a gift! I would also like to be able to purchase like another line for my signature, so I can fit everything I want on there!! That would be cool!

Your personal clock is found by clicking on Shop Menu then Bank. Look down where it says Next Bank Interest and the time displayed is your personal clock. When it gets to zero, you are paid interest but the clock is not reset for 24 more hourse until you are doing something on The Cat Site again and that will start the clock running down again. I found out about this the hard way when I went on vacation for two weeks and came back expecting loads of points only to find I was paid the one time my clock ran down but since I was gone two weeks, the clock never started again until I came back off of vacation and did something (anything) to start it going again.
