Yay! Me too!Originally Posted by h~chan
Yaay, seems to be working fine for me again as well!
I've asked about that... if we can post specific eggs or hatchlings in a dragon specific thread. That way users only get bogged down when opening the thread in which case we know what we're in for.Originally Posted by Kernil
Who knows, in the future, maybe TCS can have a thread where people can post their dragons to get views, I know I'd go on there
Bye Bye dragons

I tried to access the dragon site about half an hour ago, but there was too much traffic. Perhaps somebody who is a member there could check out whether it allows people to copy an image of one of their dragons, save it to Photobucket or the like, and then to use that image as a siggy? I imagine there are copyright issues involved, but if not, that might be a way to show the brilliant graphics without slowing down TCS.
I've replied to your query in the other thread. Unfortunately, after "testing and timing" over the past few days, with a couple of different computers and DSL speeds, as well as a dial-up connection, I've found that forums with several threads or posts with dragons or dragon eggs in siggies are slow to load when the "cave" is down.Originally Posted by twstychik

Unfortunately that won't work.. I tried. I suppose if someone really wants to, they could take a screenshot with their scroll up, and then crop it to show the dragon they want.Originally Posted by jcat

ETA: Ok, here's the verdict on that...
Just put the link in your siggy? You'll still get clicks that way.Originally Posted by Fiery
Aww that's so lame. Now I don't have anywhere to post my dragons so they'll never grow up. : (
Hope we can work something out!
i have this forum, plus a couple of Yahoo! groups [not vBulletin, tho] & Facebook... that's it for me. this was the only place i ever posted mine.Originally Posted by Natalie_ca
My recommendation is to do what I do. I post here quite a bit because I enjoy the people and reading about and seeing pictures of cats, but I also have other places that I post for my other interests too. I am big into art so I post at a few art related sites. It's at the art sites that I have been posting my eggs. In fact I got a number of people there interested in them too so now there are several of us who are dragon hoarders! lol
Hey, another person from here is on Dragonspam!Originally Posted by laureen227

but i joined Dragonspam today, so i'll try that way & see if it works ok. if not - oh, well, i just started this about 3 weeks ago, so it's not that big of a deal for me.
2 of my hatchlings right now were abandoned when being close to maturing! Im also a dragonspammer! If you're there you cant miss me! I comment on every single post! (yes its daunting) And I also use gaia! I must agree that the links wont get us anywhere here! Most people dont click the dragons that were in our siggys, but them just being there got them views! Theres other places to post them though! Dragonspam is great! Just make sure to click on some of the others too!Originally Posted by h~chan
Hey, another person from here is on Dragonspam!Besides using that, and having my link in my signature.. I have my eggs in my Gaiaonline profile.. and I think that's about it.
On a completely random note, I was on the cave website a while ago and saw the link to abandoned eggs, and for the first time, I saw there were a couple hatchlings that were already starting to mature instead of eggs. Kind of surprised me a little, so I tried to take one, but I missed.
Gaia is another place you can put your eggs like livejournal! They have all kinds of different things you can do or talk about online and its kind of fun, but I use it for the santuary only really! I guess I did bling out my car, but havn't done anything with the house yet! This link is just to the egg santuary which has a ton of eggs! But there are other things to do on there just like LJ!Originally Posted by laureen227
i bookmarked the most recent post w/everyone's scroll link in it, so that i can do clicks that way for non-dragonspammers... btw, if any of you want to do the same, here's the link: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...ge=17&post#169
it takes you directly to the post.
ETA: what's Gaia, btw?
Gaia is pretty neat.. you can talk with people and join guilds and stuff.. though it took them forever to accept my request into the dragon cave guild.Originally Posted by laureen227
