Welcome to Gaia's forums, where millions of members gather to discuss random stuff, make new friends,
complain about life, argue about nothing, laugh at dumb pictures, discuss serious issues and/or curse like sailors.

Lurking is creepy. Quit skulking in the shadows and join the conversation!

Welcome

TO THE PENPAL GUILD


The idea of having a penpal is not a new one! But the thought of and love for it has never died out, and that is why I am here today, looking for a penpal! I am sure many people would like a penpal, a fellow person, who is interesting simply because they live elsewhere and have a different story, to speak and share your thoughts with. Sometimes it proves much easier to pour your heart out to a stranger than to even a best friend.

Would it not be great to have someone to:

- vent to or help out
- send your artwork to
- share your pictures with
- send stories to for critique
- give advice to or receive advice from
- make things for
- share your birthday with
- exchange ideas, recipes, theories
- talk to about school and life in general
- and much more

So, members of the Gaian Nation, I appeal to you with this question:

Would you like a penpal?

IF SO, PLEASE READ ON


Interested? Great. All you have to do is fill out a form.

IF YOU DO NOT READ ALL OF THIS, YOU WILL PROBABLY SCREW UP AND THUS NOT BE ACCEPTED INTO THE DATABASE.

The database is in my website outside of Gaia, but it will be accessible through the next post. You can flip through these database, which are organized in such a way that if you have a preference, you will find who you are looking for. Their Gaian username will be in their profile, and you can contact them either through private message, sending them your profile as well.

After this, it is up to you to decide whether you trust this person with your mailing address.

In order to be put into this database, I will need to review your profile form. Please post it in this thread and I will get to it as soon as possible.

PROFILES THAT ARE HARD TO READ, ARE SPOKEN IN |337 GRAMMAR, OR DO NOT KNOW HOW TO WRITE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON (i.e. with the use of punctuation and capitalization) WILL BE IGNORED. For little mistakes, such as spelling, I am given the liberty to correct them for you. Cute textual faces are fun, I do not care about those. But talking in sTiCkY caps will get you killed in a very painful manner.

WAIT until your profile is added to the database. Should take a couple of days. DO NOT request a penpal until you have your profile in the database!

Once you and your penpal have agreed to be penpals, SEND ME A PM and tell me both your names so that I can add you here and delete your profiles from the database (if you still want your profile in the database for more penpals, tell me).

Here is the form you need to fill out:

FOR THE PICTURE, POST A LINK!

BE AS DETAILED AS YOU WANT. WRITE CORRECTLY OR WILL BE IGNORED. I WILL CORRECT SMALL MISTAKES.

IT COSTS 50 GOLD FOR ME TO ENTER YOU INTO MY DATABASE!

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY! FIRST FIVE ENTRIES WILL BE FREE OF THE 50 GOLD CHARGE!

Things that you need to know

NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PROBLEMS


1. Gaia Online is in no way connected with this endeavor. This Penpal Guild was my idea, but still I can take no blame for any situation that YOU get YOURSELF into by signing up.

2. Do not beg people to be your penpal.

3. Do not post questions here. If you have a question, private message me and I will both private message you back and answer your question in this thread.

4. Do not request your penpal until your profile is in the database.

5. When you and your penpal have agreed to be penpals, PM me your two names.

For the lazy ones

A RECAP OF WHAT TO DO


1. Decide you want a penpal.

2. Fill out the form LEGIBLY and INTELLIGENTLY or yours will be ignored.

3. WAIT for yours to appear in the database (it should take a couple of days).

4. Search the database for a partner or two and PM them your profile.

5. Have a penpal! And PM me your names so that I can add you guys here and remove you from the database!

Why the hell does it cost gold?

MY REASONS FOR CHARGING


I am considering this penpal guild a service that I am providing because I:

- Made this thread
- Will edit and moderate all posts
- Will have to CONVERT ALL of the BBCode to HTML in order to add it to my website
- Am putting my website up as a resource for users so that it is easier for them to find a penpal
- Will willingly answer all PMs and questions
- Will never turn anyone down (if your post sucks and I ignore you, you can ask me about it or correct yourself and post again and you will be added)
- Want a Chyaku Norisu Scarf
- Will continually be editing the previous post to add penpal status

Mostly, the converting all of the BBCode to HTML is why I am charging the minimal fee of 50 gold. That is going to be a tedious job.
