lately i stopped feeling bad for arcane dom participants at all because, seemingly, every time they try pushing outside of their festival and don't get 1st place they become such bad sports about it and start blaming earth immediately

The blocking talk reminded me about this. How do you handle someone with a DNI that applies to you approaching you?
I don't love the concept of DNI's in general and find most of them to be wanky. As a result I tend to avoid the people who have ones if I stumble upon them, which ultimately means that they're working as intended so win/win I guess.
But when I'm selling a dragon/item/service whatever I sometimes get approached by people with DNIs that technically applies to me. However in my eyes it shouldn't matter that I'm an adult/ships X/thinks Y when that's completely irrelevant to the situation in question, so in these cases I felt it would just be extra wanky if I went 'no, you can't buy this dragon because your DNI applies to me'.
Am I breaking some social etiquette by doing this?

do we know why the site's admins are so very against against people starting over in a new account?
One of the things I find really cool about FR is how for certain genes, on certain breeds, for certain poses even, there are fun little details and quirks.
Like how on Fae hatchlings with the Flecks tert, the flecks form a zigzag line above the mouth along the face.
Or how Bar on Aethers adds stripes to their horns. Or how Myrid on Aether females makes their tail floof have a heart shape in the spiral design.
Another fave is how Skydancers with Toxin as their secondary have those beautiful spots on their feathers.
What other ones have I not discovered yet?

I was a pretty active artist on FR around when I joined 10-ish years ago (jesus fucking christ how's it been that long) and I was especially a fan of making adopts. I wasn't active on FR for a while up until recently, and I've been thinking of getting back into adopts again. So as a result I've been snooping around to see what's popular, how things are priced etc
And wow. Holy shit, the market's changed. Adopts seem to be priced so much higher than they used to be! I want to stress I don't think this is a bad thing at all, it's awesome to see art being valued so much higher and I'm glad artists are actually getting better bang for their buck. But it's been very fascinating to see how it's changed.
Take these adopts (https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/adopt/3242004) which are going for 400kt/g a pop. Back in ye olden days I feel like something of this size and level of detail would have commonly gone for around 50-100kt/g. Or these ones (https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/adopt/3379298) going for 600kt/g, whereas I think they would have usually been 300-400kt/g back then. Again, don't want to seem like I'm insinuating these aren't worth what they've been priced, I think it's totally affordable when G&G can net you 525kt a week if you max it daily. I think it's pretty interesting how things have changed.
I do wonder why this shift has happened. I think G&G is probably a big contributing factor, it's so much easier for your average played to amass a decent sum of money to spend on these things. But that can't be all it is... right? Or who knows, maybe I'm just out of touch and don't even remember that it's always been this way.
