Been too long since last update, forgive me! The News...
Official Contest
I've started an avatar contest HERE! This contest is completely FREE with PRIZES, be sure to check it out.
New Sub-forum
Purely Lolita
This forum is dedicate to yourself purely in lolita, your rooms too if you would like! Only the pictures you post have to be yourself in proper lolita or your lolita lifestyle. All topics must include at least one decent loli picture. Perhaps where so-called Elitist Lolitas will feel at home.
Rule Update
Twelve:
When posting pictures of yourself in lolita, it MUST be strictly lolita and not a rip off version of the fashion. This is to protect the fashion and yourself. Exceptions of non-lolita pictures go in the stickied picture post thread.
Everyone should understand why this rule has been added. >_o;
Donators
We have decided to give something back to special donators of Loli Dollies. When you donate at least 500g you'll receive a badge. Donations over 1000g will receive an updated badge. These badges will be edited to your liking. When you donate, we will PM you the info.

New Subforum
We'd added a new subforum, "Lolita Related Events". Obviously you post about events and cosplay stuff.
Arguments & Bashing
Some have been completely childish (in a bad way) about what 'lolita' actually is. "THATS NOT LOLITA THATS LIKE GOTH LOLZ U STUPID" I highly recommend not saying that here, there is no reason to be mean here, and it is a rule, kay. If you believe someone has the style wrong, then why not be polite and pm them privately about it? If you cannot have a proper discussion about it then I suggest you just ignore the entire situation together. We all have different beliefs, you can't change the entire world but you can use encouragement without stupid little arguments. Honestly, in my opinion, being a childish rude meany head is not very lolita. To the elitists, I know it can be frustrating seeing the fashion portrayed wrong but you are no better when you just bash and poke fun rather than being proper and helpful.
In addition, I would like to note that you should use caution while posting images here, this is the internet and they’re open for others to steal. For example, others have been stealing pictures from ‘Member’s Picture Post’ to use on livejournal communities. Use caution. <3
Donations
On another note, not many have been donating to the mule very much. We barely have 2k. If everyone chips in a little bit we will have enough for contests and a fun Holiday event. If every member donated 50g we'd be having contests and events like crazy! But not many are supporting the guild anymore. ><; This is just to encourage you. Happy Holidays! <3

Donations
For right now I can only access the guild donations for subforums and not contests for members so I've created a mule, Lilith Irie to collect donations that we can use for contests. Please send further donations Here. The more donations, the more contests we'll have. ^^ Thank you for your support!

Edited Rules (SALES/BUYING/TRADING)
Eleven:
Buying and selling through Gaia is against the TOS. Though if it were up to me I would have made a sub-forum for it. All sales/buying/trades threads can be directed to here
Topics Moved
Some of your topics may have been moved due to the subforum change.
Tea & Recipes
New subforum for Tea and Recipe discussions.
Images
All images should be posted in the Images, Zines, Scans, & Art Posting subforum.
Member Cleanup
There's an announcement above this topic. ^^

(12/04/05)
Now that we have subforums some topics will be moved from their original spots to the subforums. Usually when a moderator moves a topic they'll posted in the topic to where the thread should be moved to. As for now though expect topics to be moved without warning. This will be in effect until all the guild topics are organized then the original rules will return. Today I've added a couple new subforums so I'll explain each one again.
Crew Only - For the crew discussion.
Lolita Design/Sewing - Stores, Sewing, Design, Etc
Lolita Beauty - Hair, Makeup, Nails, Etc
Lolita FAQ - Questions & Answers About Gothic Lolita
Gothic Lolita Roleplay - Roleplaying threads for lolitas
Entertainment & Writing - Movies, Music, Books/Comics/Mangas, Conventions, Articles
Gothic Lolita & Gaia - Topics about lolita related to Gaia.
Magazines, Scans, & Art Posting - A place to share scans, art, & photos as well as info on magazines.
I've also updated rule Ten.
"Ten: Don't make a thread that doesn't have anything to do with Lolita. Manga is an exception as long as there is Lolita in the Manga. This is an EGL guild after all. Semi-Loli threads are okay, ex: Music to Loli's ears. Sub-fashions of Lolita are welcome as well. If you would like to speak freely from Lolita in this guild please make your way to The Freedom Thread! Also please remember to title your topics well so that it'll be easier to tell what your thread is actually about. A bad example would be, "look at this" or "help". If there are any titles found like this mods will simply edit the title to better understanding. "
The bolded sentence is the update. ^^;
Thank you everyone for supporting Loli Dollies as some of you may have noticed I've become even more busy so I need big help. I've started to pick new moderators. So far I've promoted Skie 0 but there is a few more that I'm looking over. Expect more to the Loli Dollies crew in the next update! <3
(10/28/05)
Yay we now have subforums for the guild! Once I have more time I'm going to be updating the rules a bit and making stickies for the subforums.
Stores, Sewing, Design, Etc - Lolita Design/Sewing

I've put an Advertisting Thread in the new Registered Guilds forum for Loli Dollies. Support Loli Dollies and help advertise. x3
[AD] Loli Dollies.
(10/07/05)
The guild's entry fee has been raised since the guild's gold will become accessable next week.
(To purchase sub-forums!) Donate if you can! Every little bit helps. ^^;
(10/03/05)
I've updated quite a bit! And all by myself too. x_x We have finally reached 300 members! Yay~ dum dum dum... In other news, there is no longer a birthday sticky since we have grown so much, too hard and poor to keep up. I also updated new banners thanks to Skie 0. I'm also thinking about re-doing the entire homepage with customize art! Maybe our mascot. ^^;
(9/24/05)
The Rules have been moved to the guild homepage since non-members are having problems accessing the Rules & News thread.
(9/18/05)
1. Guild Migration
As some of you may know already, the guilds just went through a big migration and new features have been added as well. There are still things that need to be done for the guilds. As of right now, there may be a few bugs you may be experiencing. If you have any bugs regarding this guild please state it in your post in this thread.
2. Moderator Applications, Mods Needed.
I've stated before that I need moderators for the guild but at this moment since the guild system is still going through some tweaking I'm going to be put off recruiting mods for awhile. But once things become more stable with the system I will make an application sticky. It's been reported that the guild system will have sub forums now. <3 I really need the help and I've been doing everything myself for the past couple of months.
3. Loli Dollies Housing Neighborhoods.
The thought of this guild having a neighborhood for housing has been circling around here for awhile and it's a really good idea. This is something that will happen but not right a way. The guild system will probably have a way so that we can make a neighborhood with the guild's gold. That's why it's so good to donate. blaugh That way, members won't have to donate to one certain person to make one big house or attempt to pick a couple of lots for housing. There is so many of us anyway. A neighborhood for this guild sounds fun, very close to virtual tea parties. <3
(8/2/05)
The Guild homepage has been updated. I apologize for waiting so long to do this. I understand that there were a lot of typos and errors. If you see anymore mistakes please pm Nefarious Vile. Thank you! New banners have been added as well! Check them out here.
(5/16/05)
We have reached 200 members in the guild today, woot woot! Also we have released our main forum with our main website soon to come. Enjoy! Loli Dollies
(4/05/05)
The guild links have been changed. If you have a link going to the guild, please change it to the correct one, http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?page_mode=4&guild_id=3281 . If this link isn't changed then the old link will take you to a 404 error page.
(3/28/05)
The Birthday thread and the Worldwide Lollies thread has been reorganized and fixed up a bit. Although this guild is still not finished, we are working hard to get it perfect for all of you here. It is strongly urged that you give your suggestions or feedback in the proper thread to help us make this guild right for you and future members.
(3/27/05)
The guild homepage has finally been updated. New coming members who fill out an application to join will now have to view the guild rules and information to recieve the password that must be placed at the end of there application in order to be accepted.
Darkeenya (member) must leave from the guild to tend to her own and she won't be able to update her stickied thread, so Nefarious Vile (me) will recreate The World Wide Lolita's thread.
A real Lolita tea party is taking place in Toronto, check it out. Tea party information!
On another note, some guild members have been duplicated many times. To solve this, the duplicated member will recieve a pm telling them that they have been duplicated and that they will be banned and reinvited into the guild.
I've currently been busy with my own personal graphic website, though once I'm done finished creating it, I'll start working on pixel tea and treats for little guild tea parties. Soon after that an art contest will take place around the same time I will be creating a Lolita website. It will be filled with Lolita goodies and information, based on this guild. A forum will be provided for non-gaia members as well as gaia members. A mailing list will be made for a Lolita web magazine that will be made by me and others. It's exciting and I know the website will have a lot of hits. Although Lolita will be spread from here onto a new forum and website this guild is still very important and shouldn't be left to die, so keep it active! I really want to thank all who are participating and advertising the guild. It's growing so well, thanks! ^^
(3/15/05)
It's been a struggle trying to think of ways to get our users more interactive within the guild so we have created a Feedback & Suggestion thread. There you can give your opinion on how we, the mods, are doing as well as give any ideas to help get this guild more to your likings.
We are taking a little break to try and come up with ideas, but don't worry, we will still be watching over the guild so don't get too crazt. In about a week or so, sometime soon, we will be making some changes. So keep a look out for them.

Reminder: Do not let Darkened Shadow mess with the quests post. If you have a quest, please send the PM to Nefarious Vile.

On other news, the Gaian Ball turned out to be a real blast. We have gained more users from advertising our banner. Thank you to all that did advertise, especially Murasaki Neko for her awesome delightful tea party. Hope everyone had fun and we get to know some of our newer members.
(2/6/05)
The Link List sticky is now complete and free for members to post new URLs to share. Also I made a simple banner for advertisment of the guild. The banner is under the "Banners" Section of this thread. On another note, the guild has grown in population everday. Though I'm afraid a lot of members will be inactive. Please incourage your members to stay active within the guild to make it more fun!
(2/5/05)
The Freedom Thread is now back up and introduced to all you fellow Lolita fans. Within that thread you are free to talk about whatever it is you wish. However, along with all other normal threads, you must abide by the ToS. Talking about Lolita within this thread is optional.
(2/3/05)
I'm proud to say that the guild has gained more members than the other lolita guilds in one day. And we are growing everyday! Tonight I'll work on a mini banner so we can advertise, I'll post it in the banner section of this page. The store directory thread may become the links sticky instead. I just have to get a few things together in order to do so. Thanks everyone for donations and your support to the guild. <3
(2/2/05)
The stickies are locked for further constuction. Once they are unlocked you will be able to post. More stickies coming soon!
The stickies are the only threads that are locks, you are now allowed to post your own threads.
I am currently not accepting Moderator applications. I want to wait for more members to join before I decide on another mod.
Check back here for later updates. Feel free to comment and ask questions about the updates above. Thanks everyone for supporting Loli Dollies. ^_^
