Ohhh yeah, those really skinny ones eh? Those pop up every once in a while, and are pretty fun to see xD They were quite a while before I joined, so I never had one.
I do remember when the wild knuffel system was first implemented though. It absolutely blew my mind. No one saw it coming at all, and I think the whole site had a collective excitement-freak-out xD For a while there were like, 15 pages of wild knuffel at a time. There was no re-release yet either, so you bought like mad to not miss out on good ones LOL.

Oh wow haha! That is exciting sounding!
Do you know how many staff knuffel has? I'm curious if that's why there have been fewer events and things.

Ohhh, there are actually only two. It's run by a husband & wife team, Firn and Starkad. Starkad is apparently in post secondary again right now, which is why site updates have been slower lately. There are a few moderators of course, but all of the art/coding/ect is done by the two admins.

Oh gosh... they need to vamp up the donation system so they can afford more help! Spending money makes money, right?

I'm not sure how they would vamp it up, though O: The only real way to bring in more revenue is to bring in more users. The site is struggling right now because it's much quieter than it used to be, and it lost at least a couple of big time FC buyers in the last year and a half or so. So the FC ended up inflating really rapidly from around 15k to like 20k - 25k, because way fewer are being sold.

One year at an anime convention I handed out some little business cards for the site to random people xD I don't think it worked very well though. I might try again this year with more cards.

I used to want to do that, but now I'm mostly just scared that if I tried it, no one would buy my art and it would be really awkward/sad xD Uwaaah, scary.
I love to buy all the art though. MOAR ART, ALL THE ART. I'm running out of wall space for it though pahaha xD

Heehee, I suppose you do it once and if you fail, you fail, but I'd hate to not try. I just can never get to cons!! And I need a FREAKING job man so I can buy stoof and make costumes to cosplay, I want to so bad.
Also heading to bed, night hun!
