Welcome to the Cup of Grace! Feel free to come on in and meet us. Many of the founders to the Cup of Grace started as a small circle of people who randomly met in Graceangel's original Cup of Grace coffee shop in the old commerce forum.

I made my coffee shop my second or third day on gaia. Unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to see it as it was in it's glory day. I could link you, but due to the great pagination event on gaia when many threads lost anywhere from half to thousands of the beginning pages was eaten by the old gaia boiler machine that ate pages upon pages. [/ramble]

Well, I had that thread where we like to give a light roleplay environment of hanging in a coffee shops. However, we do not flame or chastise people who break the rp feel. We want everyone here to feel comfortable.

Lastly, if you are new to gaia, or maybe was here and left and recently returned. In any case, if you are looking for friends on gaia. This is a great place to come. Not sure how many of the old group of regs will return, but we shall see!

Would you like to join a guild started by these people? Currently, It's pretty quiet; however, anyone who is a regular here is welcome to be part of the guild.

Thread Staff/Mods:
Graceangel Founder, Primary Owner, AWESOME ARTSY PERSON
Sarace Co-owner, event host< AND general shop manager

RP Jobs:
Cashier-
Baker-
Waitress-kurai_tennotsukai_ranmyak
Concierge
Dishwasher
[more will come depending who wants to hang out here]

also also wik~
any of the above people listed here can double as thread mods. so if you need something;
you can ask them if I or Sarace aren't around.
don't be drama llama's and everyone will have a good time

If you are moved off the blacklist, you are only moved to the graylist for the next 2 weeks after that; so you can prove that you are sincere in your regret over actions that got you on there to begin with.

This is our thread. If you don't like what's going on here, then don't come here. End of story

Help us reach page 3000!!!!!

I think with our Anniversary(October 27th) approaching it would be awesome to reach page 3000 by our anniversary date.

So for everyone who helps there will be prizes for every 100 marker page(such as 2600, 2700, 2800, ect).

And then for everyone who post on page 3000 will be entered into a drawing to win a special prize.

The only one Rule would be. No Bump post. (Meaning No post that say Bump)
So talk, talk, talk about anything your heart desires.

SO, have you been away from gaia for a long time? years even? like... more than 2 or 3? If so... then, these links will be SUPER USEFUL for you!
First of all.. the guides and resources forum will be super useful! It has guides on EVERYTHING! Looking for items? backgrounds? you name it. It's in there!

Second, there used to be a thread for this kind of stuff in GCD. It's not there anymore. W_W dunno what happened to it.

Next: LAKE KINDRED so a lot of people from the bc spend copious amounts of time there to make money and earn items. I recommend it. Major drawback: the better kins purchase through the cash shop. sad but they will give you 3 starters... though those are kind of slow... so idk? If you really like or are good with pokemon; this may be a specially good niche for you!

Games: we have lots of games these days. well, "lots" as in same old ones plus the block puzzle ones...

Daily chance: if you log on any day; click all your carts. if you log on daily, your rewards will increase and get better and better. also, now they are adding in the log in rewards with those old rigs. pretty spiffy

About Graceangel=-

I joined gaia March 2004.
I started out in Welcome to gaia, charity, and commerce forums.
I currently am a breedables/changing pet obsessed person. I own 2 shops and work in another in that forum.
If you can't find me here, look in my shops. xD
I change my avatar frequently. Sometimes just once a day, sometimes three... depends on the mood.
I have never got a trophy or won any major gaia hosted contest.
I have won small handfuls of random avatar contests over the years.
I was in the 2nd "going naked for charity" event on gaia.
