The rest of this thread is dedicated to being an advertising area for all you Members. If you have a shop (hang out, guild, fun thread, interesting link, anything from Gaia or the internet, etc), post an ad up. You can include a description and banners or whatever.

If you are linking to somewhere outside of Gaia (ie: the internet) then PLEASE make sure the content is of PG-13 nature and complies with Gaia's ToS. Anyone who posts links to porn sites, or other bad sites will be banned from the guild (and possibly from Gaia) and their post will be deleted.

Please refrain from advertising elsewhere in the guild

If you still would like to have your link added to the Link List (my first few posts) rather than in your own ad-post, please PM me for approval. I'll then review it.

I have recently opened 2 shops.
Shop 1 is a breedables changing pet shop. It will be offering both rp required and rp optional pets. Only the rp optional are available at this time as the rp required linearts haven't come yet.
Name: Pappillioni

Guild discount? Maybe.. depends if I even know you or not. I mean.. anyone can SAY they are part of teh GPG, but this guild has technically hundreds of members.

Shop 2 is a normal everyday minishop.
Name: Peeps Rabbits
Link: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12117488&page=1
Guild discount: Again, it depends on if I know you. If you have some kind of GPG badge or something in your sig.. then that might be verification enough but yeah. My average price per is 500gold. Guild members can buy at 300 gold per, and if you buy in bulk (meaning 5 or more at once)-I may even make you an even better deal depending on teh size of the order.
For now all it offers is peeps bunnies. I am talking to my Josh about drawing me some other stuff I can sell in there. He is trying to think of a way we can turn our lineart into a plushie style. heart

A bit of in-guild advertising:

Come join the GPG Photo Theme group: Here!

We give you a theme; you take pictures and post them. It's tons of fun to see what everyone comes up with. You don't have to have kids to join. We try to make all the themes applicable to everyone, not just kiddy pics, although those are always welcomed! biggrin
