karma_k <center>http://www.demire.net/junk/banner15.gif</center> 3nodding **FRIENDLY REMINDER** 3nodding -- Nobody in this post is selling pets. Don't ask to buy any or if we can get you one. We are not a shop, just an informative sticky. Please only post here if you have a question or a helpful post to add. Also, bear in mind that we do not camp out in this sticky so posting five or six times in a row demanding we answer your question won't get it answered any faster. One post is all you need to make and someone will answer it when they see it. If you don't get an answer, that probably means your question was answered somewhere on this front page and you should go back and try reading again. We do not need bumps and if you got a pink link/box/trunk from this post, great, we're happy for you. You don't need to post to tell us. It just creates more spam for the mods to have to delete later. <center> TEH MASCOT!!!!11 This is our beloved mascot, Piggypig. You will see him throughout the thread in various posts as he tries to help you understand how things work. He doesn't mind if you take his lineart to color him and post your attempt in the thread, but he is NOT free to take to start a shop with. He is merely our example.

Well, you've come to the right place to get started! My friends and I have compiled an extensive guide that compiles and answers the most common questions asked by newcomers in an effort to give everybody a better understanding of how things work! 3nodding To navigate this guide, please refer to the table of contents above. The number in front of each topic indicates which post number it can be found in. If you have any questions that have NOT already been addressed in this guide, please respond to the topic with your questions/concerns and they will be addressed when convenient. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT IS A PET? A pet is a graphic of an animal/person/object that is displayed in your Gaia signature. They are purchased on this forum and are often used as key elements to roleplaying that takes place herein. To make things easier, I will address each point in a Q/A format. Q: Where do I get a pet? A: From the shops in this forum Q: Where are the shops? A: Almost every thread in the Breedable/Changing Pets forum is a shop. Explore a few threads and you'll figure it out. Q: Why doesn't my pet appear next to my avatar after I buy it? A: Because pets are not an official Gaia item. They will not appear in your inventory or on your avatar. You simply put them in your sig or on your webpage after buying them and roleplay them here. Q: I have a pet, how do I get it into my sig? A: Go to: http://www.gaiaonline.com/profile/profile.php?mode=editprofile and scroll down until you get to the text box reading Signature. Once you're there, take the URL your pet is being supplied at and put in the following code: <img src="put the URL of your pet in here"> Obviously you replace "put the URL of your pet in here" with the actual URL of your pet or it won't work. Your pet should then show up in your sig. Q: I'm at a shop I like. How do I get a pet? A: First, check to see if any are available. Then, if there are, follow the instructions the shopowner has set for obtaining one. Each shop is different. Q: I don't like any of the pets here. Am I allowed to make myself a one-of-a-kind pet to display in my sig? A: You most certainly are. That's entirely up to you. Q: Are pets like tamagotchis? Do I need to feed/water/clean up after/play with them? A: For the mostpart, no, but this varies from center to center. If your pet is interactive and requires you to care for it as well as roleplay it, the center you got it from likely has instructions on how to do so listed on its front page. Never hurts to go back and re-read. Q: Why do pets cost so much? A: It all depends on supply and demand. Despite what people think, the shopowners don't set their pets' prices, the buyers do. If a pet is very popular, it is likewise very expensive. Q: Can I take art from another site that isn't mine and put it in my sig as my pet? A: Not unless you have the artist's permission. Otherwise you may be contacted by a mod and asked to remove it. Q: Why am I not allowed to take someone else's pet, put my name on it, and put it in my sig? Its just a picture... A: Because, despite the fact its "just a picture" that is considered theft. You are taking something someone else paid for fairly and claiming it as yours. This is something people have recieved an official warning and even a banning over in the past and...well...its just common sense that you shouldn't do it. it would b great if we could breed our own pets and show them off |
