noreply@fubar.com (Heartistic Soul) — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 11:28:34 -0700

Hiya Fubies. Just added a new public skin...preview is below.

�

Best viewed at 1300+

�

You know the drill...publics are free to use, customs are made for specific people. Yadda yadda.

�

More to come sometime soon...I have probably 10 to add, just haven't had the time with other work to do - such is summertime.

Cheers!

The SkinnyDippin' Game

noreply@fubar.com (Heartistic Soul) — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:47:33 -0700

THIS GAME IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!

�

****** Addition Note for the Trade List - I was asked if bling credit transfers count the same as bling packs, and yes, they do. I offer more for packs and credits because people don't receive fu-points for doing something extra nice, so they are valued higher for my games than usual bling******

�

GAME F.A.Q.

�

Who can I order for?

You may order for ANYONE on Fubar, with the exception of yellow staff, and anyone that refuses play. Anyone who wishes to be removed from the game may do so by requesting such through private message at any time. Not all people play for the win - most play simply to give the tokens as gifts to those they care for :) Please request removal ONLY if you do not desire to receive more tokens.

�Can I order more than one at a time?

Yes, you can order as many as you want, for as many people that you want. To keep it organized, please send the appropriate amount of fubucks with a list of how many tokens are meant for each person. For example, if you send 5000 fubucks (enough for 10 tokens) you would say "5 to Dawn, User # 975528 and 5 to Cali4nialovin01, User # 884702." If you� have traded rates for tokens, you can say something like "Rated Love Box #1 10s. 100 tokens for Dawn #975528".� ANY TIME YOU TRADE for tokens, please be sure to message me with what you have done, and who you are playing for.

�How long does it take for them to receive them?

That depends on a few things. First, it depends on your order. If it wasn't placed correctly and I have to reply for more information, it will add to the delay. In addition to this, it depends on the number of orders received, and my personal schedule. Usually though, it takes up to 24 hours (but often within hours of request). I ANSWER MAIL IN ORDER OF RECEIVED, so I work from the back to the front of my inbox. Before you would always receive a reply from me, but thanks to the relentless security checks, I can no longer reply to each order. Doing so gives me the bouncer multiple times in a row, only to receive the "session expired" message.

�
How can I earn tokens for myself?

You can't buy them, but you may earn them for yourself or for anyone else. This is done through completing a selection from the list, which is available to EVERYONE, EVERYDAY, as many times as you'd like. I've created a key with the values for trade tokens, so check that for more information.

�

�How do I find someone's USER ID number?

I had to add this to the list because it is asked so often. To find someone's ID number, visit their profile. Their ID number will display in the top left of your browser, beside their name. Also, you can find it by hovering over their link on your friends list (if you have your status bar turned on) or by clicking REPLY to any email or gift received from them.

Can I upload my token tag?

Yes. It's yours, and you're free to upload it to any album that you'd like. Often, this is the best way to receive more (since your friends see it and will often jump in to help your score).

Anything else I need to know?

Sure! First, if you RECEIVE a token, it is NOT from me (I host the games, and I make and deliver the tokens, but it is up to everyone else to decide who receives them). You received it because it was YOUR user number on the order. Also, there are a few exceptions to the delivery rule. If I can't contact the person through mail, comment, and I've already left a friend request - I have no other means of delivering your gifts until they accept the request.

The scoreboard will be updated as tokens are sent. If you see someone's name on the board, they've received their tokens. If you have ordered and do not see their name on the board yet, I'm working on it ;)��

ADDED 7/23

*** IF YOU ARE PLAYING THIS GAME PLEASE READ ***
First off, thank you all for playing. I understand that 95% of the people that play my games do NOT play for the win, and for that reason I want to let you know that I appreciate the fact that you take the time (and bucks) to send something to make someone smile.Now that I've said that...lol...I'd also like to remind everyone that it takes a great deal of time to go through mail...make the image...upload it...deliver it...etc. so patience is appreciated. (Especially when, as stated, 95% don't play for the win, and enjoy having the chance to send a few tokens to multiple people).Also...before you play, or BEFORE YOU ASK OTHERS TO PLAY FOR YOU (not yelling, just want to make sure everyone read that part lol) please ask them to read this blog as well. My reason for asking this is because most of the questions they keep asking me are already answered within the blog or within the FAQ, and every time I have to stop to answer a question or an email it just adds to the delay of the game :) Besides, if they read the blog before they order for you, I won't have to email them back and tell them that I need to know who they are playing for (you'd not believe how many blank messages I get, saying only that someone has sent fubucks with no explanation of who they are for...and then the person who they were supposed to be for emails me to ask why they haven't received them yet LOL). So please, take a few moments to read about how to play the game, and look over the FAQ if you are a new player :)
One more thing...since people keep asking :p Anyone can join or leave this game up until the time that it closes. It is never too late to play, and just because someone gains a large advantage in numbers means nothing in these games. I offer bonuses all the time (ask anyone that has played before which one their favorite is :p) that allow everyone a fair shot of winning. These games aren't a sprint, they're a marathon.
Best wishes, and good luck to everyone. Thank you for taking the time to read this post - hopefully it will cut down on some of the confusion :)

Switching Skins

noreply@fubar.com (Heartistic Soul) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 05:17:14 -0700

Hiya fubies.

�

Just a quick note - a lot of the older skins (and some of the newer ones) aren't displaying correctly anymore. I'm not sure why, but the codes have lost some of the entries that make them do what they do. This might be due to the recent changes in the way fubar has their layouts (with the changes in how profiles look overall - the new buttons, etc.)

Sooooo, that means that I'll be removing LOTS of the skins, and recoding them to suit the new layouts as time allows. A lot of them will be permanently deleted (mostly the older ones that are pretty junky looking to me now - or those that didn't have many rips).

IF YOU HAD/HAVE A CUSTOM skin that I had made, and you'd like it re-coded please contact me, as those will likely be removed and replaced with time, too, depending on how they were originally done. Alas, many of the people that had customs aren't on Fubar anymore, so if yours was deleted and you want it back, let me know. I'll back up most of the images from the older skins, so any custom that is removed will be recoded or completely remade - depending on the situation. - NOTE - This does NOT mean that if you have changed your display name since your custom as made that I will remake it to suit the new one. You can always ask though - you might catch me at a moment where I'm not swamped.

Love to all.

-HS

Where have all the good FUs gone?

noreply@fubar.com (Heartistic Soul) — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 00:14:06 -0700

Okay okay...so I don't use my blog very often for personal notes. I'm usually hosting a game, or making a skin, or coming up with something or another for people to do on here to help pass the time and have a smile. This one though, is just one full of personal thoughts. Kudos to anyone who makes it past the third paragraph.

Easily said, this site has changed. My #1 has been in a contest, a simple one in which the person with the most rates on the photo will win a bling pack. Sounds pretty easy, right? Nope. Not anymore. For some reason, people just don't seem to care about each other on this site anymore. I'm not sure why - or what has happened to change the way people spend their time on here, but for some reason if you're not offering to give someone something, they don't want to take the 10 seconds it takes to help you.

Scratch that - that's not even true. I know this because over the past few days I've begged, I've bribed, I've offered to pay people fubucks, AND I've even offered to bomb them in exchange for ONE photo rate.

At this point, I'm no longer concerned about the contest. I did try to help the best that I could (it wasn't even ME in the contest, I was trying to help someone else). My only reason for posting this blog is because it's still #10 on fubar (thank you to those who have rated it over the past 3 years!) - and maybe...just MAYBE...someone will read it and have a check in their own heart.

Yes..this is the internet.

Yes...this is all for fun.

But before you spout the "don't take this seriously it's just a website" line at me, please consider that behind every screen name - well...haha that's not even close anymore - behind SOME of the screen names, there is a real person there. Just as you wouldn't pass someone on the sidewalk that was asking for help (you wouldn't, would you?) when you happen to see someone ask for legitimate help online, please take a moment and see what you can do. I'm NOT talking about people that beg for bling, or offer to show their bewbage in exchange for a VIP - I'm talking about genuine people who try to pay it forward, who sometimes might need a little help in return.

I have no doubt that like my other blogs, this will get many many views and very few people that actually read it. Perhaps though if even ONE person will find one other person and pay it forward, this rant won't be a wasted effort. This site is based on levels, and I do understand that - I like to level up as much as the next fu. Please remember though in your journey up the ladder that when you help someone, they remember it - and you can make someone's day with one random act of kindness.

That's all that I have to say on the matter. Any thoughts are always welcome, as I seriously doubt I'm the only person that has noticed the change in the overall number of fubies who visit this site. I remember the good old days where there were no autos, no bombs, and you spent hours clicking and commenting to help your friends...to the point where the first joint of your pointer finger was nearly injured. Those where the days where leveling actually MEANT something, and Godfather was indeed an achievement.

Now that I've finished my vent, I'll go back to my sketchpad. Before I go though, I want to thank those of you who DID take the time to help me during my begging over the last few days - it was much appreciated. The kind FUs are the ones I will continue to host games and make skins for - you give me a simple reason to smile. And...to those who will think this blog is an effort to get more rates, you seriously don't know me at all...and you're a perfect example of the point I was trying to make.

As always, love to all, and best wishes to every Fu.

Those that know me know that I rarely ask for help. If I can do it on my own, I do it on my own - and I only ask for help with things that I can't manage to do by myself.

So here's something YOU can do to help, AND you'll get some bucks for it! :p That's always the great equalizer, right?

Rate This Pic:

http://www.fubar.com/photo.php?u=3822680&albumid=2093491&i=3694678007&idx=13

Rate it, send me a message that you rated it, and I'll send you 10,000 fubucks for the ONE picture rate. That's worth 20 seconds of your time, right? Oh - and if you use the "Share" option on the photo and let me know that you did - I'll send you a little extra, too :p

I know that people will view this and still not take the time to rate it...but for those that do, I appreciate it. The photo with the most rates in the album will win a bling pack, and being a late entry, he's way behind.

Thanks for paying it forward, Fubies.

Muah!

New Skin - Philadelphia Flyers 6/7

noreply@fubar.com (Heartistic Soul) — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 07:26:37 -0700

Hiya Fubies...I've added another hockey skin - this time it's the Philadelphia Flyers. Preview below :)

�

This one is also sized at 1366. More to come as time allows.

�

New Skin - Chicago Blackhawks 6/7

noreply@fubar.com (Heartistic Soul) — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 05:27:31 -0700

I've added a new public skin for the Hawk fans. Preview is below.

This skin is sized at 1366 :)

As always, you can rip any of my skins marked PUBLIC, but I ask that you do not take those that are customs. To view this or any other skin, view my profile and scroll to the bottom. Select BROWSE USER'S SKINS, and preview the ones you'd like to try. If you like it, select the option to rip, and then activate it from your own skins section.

More to come as time allows...if you have an idea for a public skin, just send me a message. I hope you enjoy them.

Take care, fubies!

New Skin - "Beautifully Bewitching" - 6/6

noreply@fubar.com (Heartistic Soul) — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 06:15:07 -0700

Heya fubies :)

I've just added a new public skin. This one was made by request with an image sent to me by DJ Kissable, but as it is not made to be a custom skin anyone is free to use it. This one is sized at 1366+, but should still be alright on smaller resolutions.

Below is the top portion of the skin to give you an idea of what it looks like. If you'd like to rip it, please visit my skin section (view my profile, scroll to the bottom and select BROWSE USER'S SKINS). As always, you're free to use any that are marked PUBLIC. If you have an idea for a public skin, you can always message me with the images or ideas and I'll get to them as time allows.

�

Have a good one ;)

New Skin 2/14

noreply@fubar.com (Heartistic Soul) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 02:03:41 -0800

Aha! You thought I was gone huh?

Not really...just had a rough couple of months and had a few life changes. I'm pretty much back now (at least I think I am, even if a little less sane).

I did a skin for the fu-angels...as always you're free to rip any of my skins that are marked PUBLIC in the title. Best viewed on 1024x768, as usual.

NOTE - This is the last skin that will be made at the usual screen resolution, as I'll be changing to the recommended setting for Vista and Windows 7...alas...XP is a dying breed, although I loved it so!

Here's what the skin banner looks like, with the background to match. If you rip skins, be sure to disable any photos in your albums that are marked to be used as background images (or your page will be weird when people load it).

Happy Valentine's Day..take care everyone!

Cheers!

Wicked Treats (Halloween Game)

noreply@fubar.com (Heartistic Soul) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 01:07:38 -0700
