Well, after a long journey through the old PF pond and a few hundred stamps later, I have finally returned (though I have been lurking and reading most of the posts). My mailbox had frogs waiting to arrive from April 2012! It is good to be back. Moreover, I am still catching up on the previous month's sets (Many Thanks Dom, for the Trick or Treat starters!) and working on the Magus breed. Working through the MB backlog in the previous version has made me realize I was receiving many more gift frogs than I could work with in my available free time (even with using stamps). Because of this, please try to limit gifting to me one frog a day, besides weekly sets or starters. I am truly thankful for the generosity here on the Trading thread , but I have faced the reality I simply can't keep up with the "color wheel" level of exchanges. On another note, the new breeds are very cool, but I do agree that the GC repeating "pop-o-matic" gift frogs are somewhat annoying. Also, I'm not sure how to deal with GC's lack of a "new" or "old" designation on gifts. Like very much the ability to sell pond gifts if mailbox is full. Thanks to the following generous trading friends (belatedly, as I was clearing the cloud queue from the previous version.) Andi, Dom, Dean, Gracesqx, Laurafitz, Nirtew, Maholah, Kane toad, Quossum and anyone else who sent frogs since the update. A good night to everyone,
Welcome back, Snappy! I was starting to wonder where you'd disappeared to! I can sympathize with you. I was wildly popular on Plus+ because I was such a strong presence on Wikia and my name was getting passed around so much. That's why I decided, the heck with the queue, but I understand your decision to stick around on PF 1 and get your gifts, and I'm glad to have you back. The fact that you had gifts from April is interesting. I wonder if the GC cloud will hold gifts for eight months.
I'll have one ready in a day ... If you are interested ... Got the starter set off Dominic ... GC name XXXBR
It has been sent. You should place your GC ID in your signature, so it will be easier for the old folks to remember.
You are admirable for your patience! Note which if the new breed frogs you need or want (or if you prefer to find them) & I'll try to oblige. Already sent an Emblema as a Welcome Back Gift. I am definitely someone who can sympathize with the free time vs. gifts thing. So far, with my new pattern of playing, I'm enjoying both the random gifting & random receiving. Except for sets, like you. Unlike you, once I did receive an Anura "color wheel" from Shasta (where did she go?!) & I simply didn't have the patience to use it. You & others at least USE them. Yeah, nothing can be done (or has been done) about the notifications but as you receive fewer gifts, as you requested, it will become less of a problem. OTOH, the "potions for taming," area, though purportedly made smaller in one of the updates, gets me virtually every time I go to tame since I instinctively go northward. And I'd like the ability to sell (or at least delete) stuff from my MB! With the ongoing problem with duplicate frogs plus most frogs taking a long time to arrive, there needs to be an antidote. p.s.: Thanks to you, Snappy, for the Tribus.
I have sold off most of the Trick-or-treat set since there were no takers. Thanks to Auraofmanaces, Dom, Lisi, Gracesqx, Kane toad, Dlstar71, Miamare23, and StephenP, and vtbebop and anyone else who sent frogs recently. A good evening to all!
Have finished Butterfly face and on to Insero want-to-be. Was looking back on my notes and realized that I have not sent thanks since November 23 Of course the frogs sent to you should have had a little note around their neck with a TY on it but sometimes they do get lost in cyberspace. So here we go: Quossom, awboj, Maholah, Nirtew, madmaze, Java, Andi, Ella, Laura, Julesfish, Jklau, dariaclone, spear, danjarus, JoEllyn, Cygent, Marti, Domenic, heerance, Shortbus, Flip, RaeSwitch, meplie, dlstar, stephen, BlueWater, Androo, orhlixyone, Jerutix, Bezoar, Lisanne, and Snappy. All gifts are greatly appreciated and if I missed anyone.. thank you. Happy Hopping Everyone.
It happened to me a while ago .... From memory I shut down device and restarted .... Maybe I logged out and back in of GC too, but can't remember exactly ... At some stage neighbours showed again .... BR Ps: I have "lights in the tree " starters if any one wants ... I will sell tomorrow .... Send me a GC request if we are "strangers" GC name : XXXBR Ella do you still want a set? I think Dom sent you the set after we "talked".... Domenic seems to be able to turn out frogs at an incredible rate and speed .......thanx for the friendship bulbus ...sent you something else instead of set (from memory) BR
