I love that we have a ProBoards forum. ProBoards is pretty great. I wonder if we can get some different skins for it, though? The buttons under the titles confuse me. Which buttons? Can you provide a screencap? For example:

I don't understand what those buttons are either. They're making all the posts appear huge though because they take up so much space. Is there an option to turn the buttons off in our settings?

Since Halloween is coming up, I had an idea for another trading/gifting thread and I'd like to get some opinions on it before/if I post it. It would be called "Take a Holiday Egg, Leave a Holiday Egg" and it would basically be TaE LaE but for holiday eggs only. It would only be open during holiday breeding season and IOUs are not allowed. Once the holiday breeding season starts, a lot of holiday eggs are bred and many of them hit the AP. For users who are missing multiple holiday dragons or users who'd just like to swap the ones they have, this could be a very useful thread. Example: Let's say I bred 4 Cavern Lurker eggs (or found them in the AP) but I still don't have any Black Marrows or Shadow Walkers. I could leave 2 Cavern Lurker eggs in TaHE LaHE and take a Shadow Walker and a Black Marrow (if those aren't there at the moment I can leave the two Cavern Lurkers now and grab the eggs I want from the thread later). I just think that it'd be nice to draw extra attention to the holiday eggs since the holiday breeding season is so short and many users are missing some/all of the holiday dragons. Alternatively, if users would prefer a thread like this to be a standard trading thread and not a TaE LaE format thread, we could just have a holiday trading thread (open only during holidays) where you can only trade holiday for holiday. Thoughts?

Thoughts? My space is going to be very limited. This year I just want hatchlings for freezing. I was hoping to arrange to get hatchie trades, but looks like that won't work out this year, and I'll just have to spread it between this year and next year. I do like the idea of a Halloween-themed gifting thread open during said season, I just can't speak of how much I would use it. I may be able to better organize my thoughts when it's not so late at night.

I Like the Idea, i will probably be leaving eggs, but depending on space probably not taking, as i have a lot of IOU's coming in for Halloween

A TAE,LAE for Holiday eggs would be fantastic! It would be nice to have the organization. I'd almost definitely be a regular there (I mean, during the holidays ). I think that's a great idea. ^^

I went ahead and made a holiday TAE LAE thread since the idea seemed pretty popular. I have the thread locked for now since Halloween breeding doesn't start until next week. If you want me to change any of the thread rules/edit the initial post, just let me know!

Hey, just a question. It will be my first Halloween here on DC, I've read that during this time every breeding is succesful, does it mean that i'd be able to find some bred Halloween eggs in the AP? I'd love to participate in a holiday themed TAE LAE and I guess that would be my only opportunity for that.

Yes, every Halloween breeding is successful and most Halloween breedings produce multiple Halloween eggs. You can only keep one egg from a multi clutch and the rest are automatically abandoned in the AP. You should definitely be able to find Halloween eggs in the AP if you're patient.

I had another idea for a trading/gifting thread. There seem to be quite a few people (me included) who are trying to move up to the next trophy level before a holiday. Ex: I need about 30 more dragons by Halloween to hit gold, ewi122 needs about 200 more dragons by Christmas to hit gold, etc. I've also seen quite a few other members trying to do the same thing. So, my idea was to have a trading/gifting thread to help people get to the next trophy level before a holiday so they'll have the extra slots for that holiday. The thread would be a hatchling gifting/trading thread; users can either donate messy hatchlings to people who need them or trade several messy hatchlings to a user who needs them in exchange for a nicer egg. Messy and inbred hatchlings would be very welcome (and even preferred) since many of them are probably going to be frozen. Also, then users won't be asked to donate a bunch of nice hatchlings since nice hatchlings are pretty valuable; they'd just be asked to donate the yucky lineaged hatchlings that they were planning on freezing for themselves. Thoughts on this? If people don't want this as a specific thread, I can just create a general trading thread and then users who need messy hatchlings can use that thread to trade some nicer eggs for them.

If people don't want this as a specific thread, I can just create a general trading thread and then users who need messy hatchlings can use that thread to trade some nicer eggs for them. I like this idea a lot! I personally am trying to get a gold trophy before Christmas as well. I can breed 2G metals and 4G prizes, which I would be delighted to trade for the hatchies. Or trade 1 CB hatchie for a bunch of messies. Etc. Perhaps people with extra reds could incu-hatch AP eggs. Maybe we could do something indirect, as it would make sense to have the hatchlings come from many people so no one's scroll is clogged. Maybe have each hatchie give points which can be traded in for nice eggs? The recipient could then offer something to eligable donors based on how many hatchies they wanted. Also, if we are doing trade threads, one thing I personally would love are some areas we can openly exchange IOUs, also not allowed by DC rules. As this is a private forum, IOUs can actually be enforced to some degree (which is exciting). I know I personally really like them, as it's a lot easier to breed someone something when you already know which pairing they want. I don't know how DC as a whole feels about them but it seems like a potentially useful market. Perhaps for bred eggs only if CBs are too much of a gamble? Although I know there are people who catch rare things reliably and can probably do CB IOUs. EDIT: I see you guys actually don't want to do IOUs, but I'm going to keep the suggestion in, as I think it's something that should be considered, as there really isn't another place for them and people who break IOUs can be banned. If it can't happen, I understand, but figure it's worth a mention. EDIT 2: Could we also maybe have a breeding request thread? I know a lot of TAE-ers give them out (I'm certainly happy to) and I don't think there's anywhere else to do this right now

To get to your gold trophy fast, freeze as many messy hatchies as you can! they wont take space up, and you will hit 500 faster then when you have to wait 3 days fpr them to grow up. My first 6 months i stocked up on many BSA's, traded for them, searched the ap for them, messy, yes but You only need them for BSA at first. I think i have about a 100 reds, the more you can incubate, the faster it will get you your gold Trophy
