Welcome to the Gaia Spirit Week!
The week will be from July 13 - 19, and we want YOU to participate!
Welcome to the official Gaia Spirit Week thread. :]
So, I'm sure all of you who have been through/are in high school have had a Spirit Week at school before; a week where each day everyone dresses up in some silly way to show their support and appreciation for the school. Or something like that. The idea of the Gaia Spirit Week is much the same. We want everyone to dress up their avatars (and maybe themselves too. :O) according to the day to show their support for Gaia, and all it's lovely admins, and mods, and y'know. Other people.
Because honestly, what better way is there to celebrate the end of school and finals for the summer, than by spending way too much time coming up with awesome outfits for your avatar, on the website that can now take up virtually all of you time? :3

05.02.08: Thread conceived/created.
06.13.08: Thread officially OPEN!
07.03.08: Ordered the Days, updated the Mod Hunt, added a Raffle.
07.08.08: Community Spotlight posted! Welcome everyone!
11.22.08: Spirit Week Winter Break announced!
Varlot's Urgent Update Spot
UPDATE1: Hi everyone! I just got to my computer, and WOW. It's two hours later and the thread has jumped 350 pages, I have 200 trade requests, 100 messages, 100 profile comments, and that's not counting the few on our main accounts. Needless to say, it's going to take me a long while to sort through everything. Rest assured, if you asked a question it will be answered, if you said wow great job, THANK YOU. If you said this sucks, boo on you.
Thank you so much to everyone who's posted, and voted, and especially a big thank you to Gaia!
heart
UPDATE2: Why hello againnn. :] Well guys, I still have most of the trades to go, easily another 200 messages to go through, and I haven't even looked at the thread, which is now approaching 700 pages. I'm reeeally busy. xD Thank you soooo much for bumping guys, but I have to let you know now: There is no set amount to get a prize for bumping. Nor will there be. I don't have time to go through and start giving out prizes now, nor will I for a while. It might be tomorrow or the day after before you get anything. Sorry. ><
Also: Guys, I'm not a real Gaian mod/admin/whatever. Shieran, Fera, and I are just admin/mods of this thread, not the site. When I put in the post about loving your admins, I mean the Gaian admins, not us. xD
Have fun guys! biggrin
UPDATE3: I cannot believe that I have to say this, but please stop bashing Emo day. PLEASE. It's childish, rude, and I'm really upset that there's so many posts like that. A) It's really supposed to be a joke. B) Clearly since it's neck and neck with Cosplay Day, many people on Gaia would like to see it win.
Varlot wants you to vote for Poor Day.
UPDATE4: Please stop bumping! It's getting really awful. I know, I know, we said you'd get prizes. And you will! Calm down. But for now, please STOP. You have almost two weeks to keep bumping, for now PLEASE STOP.
Thanks guys. heart
UPDATE5: Hi again guys. We really need to cut down on the random chatter. We need to try and stay more on topic. Talk about Spirit Week, the thread, your outfits, me, whatever. Just try and keep it in that range please? Thank youu.
Use this thread instead. :]
UPDATE6: Also, we're not currently accepting friend requests. Sorry!
UPDATE7: This isn't really an update, but just so everyone is clear: We do not accept tekteks in the avi contest! We only accept actual outfits your character will be wearing! Thanks guys!
UPDATE8: LAWL, HAY GUYS. I just wanted to gloat, and let everyone know we ROCK. The Skittles Rainbow has gone up 22% since yesterday, since everyone wants to buy it for Rainbow Day! Hahahahaha, we can effect the marketplace! Go team! biggrin
UPDATE9: Gaia Spirit Week starts TODAY! HAPPY NIGHTY NIGHT GAIA DAY EVERYONE!
Just as a reminder: Everyone who wants to enter the avatar contest needs to send a PM to I R Spirit Week wearing the outfit! You will not be counted unless you do so! Please title your PMs with the words 'Avi/IRL Pic Entry' so we know!
The bumping contest had been canceled. It was too chaotic, too many people, all in all, just waay too much to handle. Sorry guys! Maybe next year.
Thanks guys!
UPDATE10: Wow this is a lot of updates.
We're going through every single IRL picture and avi entry the day of the event. That means that we will receive all entries and pick winners the day of. All winners for Nighty Night Day will be picked today. All winners for Rainbow Day will be picked tomorrow. Don't not send in your entry because you think we haven't gotten through all the entries for today. biggrin
UPDATE11: PARTY IN TOWNS! 5 Barton 001050!
We wrote things. :3
I heart GAIA
UPDATE12: We closed the poll, unknown day has been decided!
The winner was Cosplay Day! What a shock.
So get your costumes ready, and enjoy!
UPDATE13: The winners for last night have been posted, in the Days post!
UPDATE14: Don't forget to check out the IRL pics and fan art! The winners for Rainbow Day have been posted.
UPDATE15: This is actually Shieran's update. Everyone! Check the Events post! We've got something new for you all!
UPDATE16: HELLO.
So yesterday, I lost power. But during that time, people kept sending us mail. BUt when your inbox fills up, old messages start getting deleted from the back. So we lost about 50 Whore Day submissions. :O So the whore day avi contest was canceled. To make up for this, we're going to do an avi contest on Cosplay Day. But for this, you need to send a reference picture with your avi. Sorry about this guys!
Also, there's no avi contest for Flaunt Your Wealth Day! So please stop sending us entries! :]
UPDATE17: THE MOD HUNT IS STARTING IN 15 MINUTES.
Please take the time to go down and read the updated contest post with more information!
UPDATE18: Welcome to the last day of Spirit Week! As a note to everyone, there is no avatar contest today, but that doesn't mean there's no contest at all! Treat today like a 24 hour pep rally, with everyone cheering as hard as they can for their class. At the end of the day, us mods are going to be picking which class showed the most spirit, so do your best. Also, at the end of today will be the dramatic raffle drawing. This raffle sold over 4000 tickets (it was insane), and it will all end at 6:30 pm this evening. All ticket trades that are not completed by then will be canceled and the user will not be included in the drawing. Have fun today, guys!
PS: The rainbows have now been moved to the Class Color Art post.
UPDATE19: THE WINNERS OF THE RAFFLE CONTEST ARE HERE!
First Place: Princesslime808
Second Place: -Procrastinating Spazz-
Third Place: Naztazcaz!
UPDATE20: Spirit Week is OVER!
Everyone is welcome to use this thread as a hangout, now and forever though! We will be having a Spirit Week next year, but no I don't have any idea how it will be next year.
The front page will continue to be updated over the next few days, and everyone is welcome to send in any pictures or banners, or anything of the sort! Varlot's going to compile them all, or something. xD
Congratulations to 2007 for coming in First Place in the Class Color Day competions!

UPDATE21: So, as you may have read in the most recent posts, the producers of Spirit Week are back again with a new winter event WINTER BREAK! It'll take place from Dec. 19-21, so it's shorter than Spirit Week was, but it's still going to be awesomeeee.
When I have the thread ready, I'll post it for you guys, and then everyone can head on over there to discuss how epic it is. x3
Here's a sweet banner 5ives made to help you spread the word!
UPDATE22: The new Winter Break thread is OPEN!
OH-EM-GEE!
Click me!
Check it out, have fun, and don't forget, TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
And hey, it wouldn't hurt to tell the Community Spotlight mule either.
UPDATE23: As you may have noticed, the dates of this years Spirit Week will be from July 5-11. Hope to see you all there, on our new board, which can be found here:
xxCLICK MExx
General Notice:
Varlot and Shieran share the I R Spirit Week account.
Shieran will always write in indigo.
Varlot will always write in green.
Also, you can just assume that Shieran and Varlot are always in agreement about anything one says or does. Which seems pretty obvious, but just in case. :]
The week will be from July 13 - 19, and we want YOU to participate!
