Swappable Gifts Update - Artefact Trading!

Had to think about it, but more animal ears + tails sounds like a good idea. Maybe T shirts or "equippable" items like an umbrella or cane, though thats a bit more experimental.

I wonder if selling more faces could also work. But I do think its early, and whatever people find the most integral to expressing themselves probably would have the highest priority. Which bring to mind pride items too.

I was thinking of making things like blush and face "deco" or different eyes and mouths for instance. I'm not sure how that would work but I feel like it might? hahaa.
I have more clothing and hair that I've started drawing that I am planning to upload soon also. Hopefully I am doing it right LOL.

I don't have a plan or a point to say, but I do very much like hearing peoples ideas since its basically an mini mmo that is evolving

I hadn't visited melonland forums for over a year and came back to find artifacts, being immediately obsessed with that, and the swap mall being empty which confused me lol. A few days later i saw larva adding clothing and then the swap mall was live. Needless to say, I'm enamoured with this idea and love coming back to see all the new stuff people are making.

@beebz I've added some trans and bi socks, a kitty t-shirt, puppy ears, bunny ears, and some other items 

@eightbritt I was really happy to see someone else making items!!  Excited to see what else you have lined up.

If it wasnt obvious by me immediately printing the trans socks I very much approve. I've been playing GaiaOnline on the side again and my fingers are itchy for buying avatar clothing already. And making for that matter too. I remember as a kid I wanted to design clothes on Gaia... Hey I suppose I could use some of my favorite items on there as inspiration. But now I'm just hungering for swap credits to make the clothes too hehe. Well, excitement is good nonetheless!!

I also at first didnt realize I was allowed to use non Clothing Artifacts on the avatar. The only downside is sometimes I cant see the artifacts well once the avatar is downsized on the forum. But it works really well with retaining quality too!

I might open up a spot in the Swap Mall...which aside from my page would be my first everyone site edit.

 This site and its aims and motives for discovery fondly reminds me of StumbleUpon, which was a website that let you shuffle through random submitted pages of content. I was introduced to a lot of memes this way, including the Weeble My Horse is Amazing song and Badger Badger Badger

Whenever I was bored I would just click the stumble button, add favorite pages to bookmarks, maybe submit a site i wanted other people to see. Although I suppose webrings offer the same effect now? I still havent joined any yet.
