(Undel just posted that Sandswept Delta enemies are now all level 9 rather than a mix of 9 and 10, so... new level 10 venue, I guess?)
y'all are awesome. i see way more based takes here than on any other Flight Rising discussion site removed from the main website. i have love for tumblr, don't get me wrong, but i think the venue of SMR and DRR being tumblr means that a different type of player tends to chime in for the discussions there, and unfortunately a lot of those commenters are, ahem, players i have blocked on the main site because i find them insufferable. but making a tumblr to identify & block them all there too would probably take more time than making a thread on a salt blog, so here i am ;)
this is an appreciation post for this venue and for the people who have chosen to spend their time running it - thank you thank you - but i've put it in "wanker" category because iiiit's also a dig at the tumblr salt blogs (if there are other, non-tumblr places i'm missing, do please fill me in).
DRR is boring (sorry) and perhaps a bit slow-paced & disjointed, and SMR is very repetitive & cliquey. "is it okay to exalt or not exalt my dragons? is it okay to breed my G1s? if someone else is breeding dragons that look like this will i be drawn & quartered for breeding hatchlings that look similar? are difficult achievements ableist for being difficult (NOT picking on the shock switch issues/other actual accessibility-related issues, just picking on "mad i have to play FR to earn FR points")? is it ableist that i don't get all new items for free, or that items retire & become expensive? is staff capitalist scum because they need money to support their small team of dedicated staff in making a free-to-play passion project that's setting the current standard for virtual pet sites? is staff hate me in particular because they haven't already released X item or feature that i really want? am i the special-est multiaccounter because i've come up with the most convoluted justification as to why i in particular Deserve to Cheat? should i take a break if playing FR is consuming my life & stressing me out? why i can't trauma dump on the forums, is this because staff hates X kind of person & is oppressing me?"
there have been discussions here before about how posts submitted to SMR relating to certain users seemed not to go through because of potential mod connection to those users, but i don't have any deets to add in that regard. i just pop in to check the feed every once in a while, and have to remind myself to only look at a few posts at a time, and stay away from the notes/comment section because some of them make my eyes roll so hard they're gonna get stuck in the back of my head.

(^ me with my clown nose & bowtie, dressed fool enough to visit SMR)

it's not working ofc but there's over 20k guests online? wtf
So I've just started making some custom skins/accents and I have no clue what good forum etiquette is for them. Do I ping people when I submit the accent to be printed? Do I only ping when I get them to sell? I know about not spamming GASP but have 0 clue about the rest of the best practices. Help me out?
There's a definitely possibility that everyone knows about this and I'm just super behind, but there's an event calendar in the encyclopedia now. I'm a fan.

I didn't notice dragon ages say 1 decade now. I feel so old holy shit.
And now to recalibrate muscle memory because I keep choosing Harpy's Roost instead of Ghostlight Ruins in venue selection.
You roasted me back in June during the argument about exalting progens for an achievement. I still think having to exalt a progen is bullshit and your opinion is wrong. But your comment about needing a diary and self reflection was fucking funny. You suck. But I still think about it randomly and laugh. I hope that life is going well for you.
cue the banned lying about the circumstances of their ban and fearmongering as always
I am very very rarely on any social media/fandom sites that aren’t directly FR related, so could someone please fill me in on what proshipping/proship is and why it’s an issue? I’d ask on SMR but it seems to be banned, and Google is directing me towards shipping companies which I assume is not what people are mad about.
uh different anon from the one above.
so, i don't know what that is either.
not asking for discussion!! none!!
it would be helpful if rule 7 was slightly modified to include a description about what that is (like vague or i don't know.)? i've never heard of it before and was shocked to find out why that rule was in place
and yes i have never read the rules until now lmao
like. if talking about coatls were banned but you can't say coatl, could you clarify the rule vaguely like "no discussion about coatls (they are the dragon with stumpy legs)"? or is it something that describing isn't an option either? i hope this makes sense not looking to argue
because i am clueless with internet lingo and based on the rule i don't want to look it up

Tell me you're a multi without telling me you're a multi
(Anonymous) 2023-09-09 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)Triple basic fodder dragons from progens at the AH for 7g, some pages of it, all from different users.
Listed all around the same time.
All of those users, have had hatchlings on Jul 27, Aug 11 and Sep 03. Coincidence? Would be really weird, if so many unrelated players hatched dragons at the exact same days. Nearly all signed up at the same day too.
Currently I've seen the IDs: # 635622, 630110, 635624, 635665, 646668, 646669, 648130, 630094, 630102, 630094, 630095, 630096, 630097, 630104, 630101, 635621, 630106, 635609, 635611, 635620,
Would be interesting to know the main to all those.

Oof on missing the window to hoard-sell all those piles of old crap.
I don't mean to be like this, but staff banned the RMT idiot within like, hours, but can't be bothered to ban the person posting homophobic shit in the lesbian dragon share thread? this apparently isn't even the first time they've done this. :/ I wonder how long it'll take them to ban/wipe the nazi fandragons lol

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen or if they've visited the site recently without issue? I've used the site from this computer before (with the same antivirus) with no problems, so I'm wondering if it's just my antivirus acting up or if something changed with the site recently.
I'm hoping it's the former since I was planning on using it soon to check some coverage :sob:

(ironically) a suggestion: wish FR would make the suggestions forum able to lock your own thread
the dogpile is real and id rather just post a suggestion for the admins to see and consider without having to deal with a bunch of people with a bug up their ass

Just in time for Starfall/RoR- with an announcement:
Due to a specific person being a complete jack ass, on new posts, anonymous comments are going to be screened by default.
This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained. (This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post doxxing unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff.)
Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.
(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)
