Whew!! the dust is finally settling from the forum upgrade. But an unfortunate side-effect of the recent forum upgrade is that some of member profile data was lost.

As a result, we have decided to make a contest out of restoring that lost information!!!

One of our store owners, Kat, has graciously offered to donate a nice green Feather wool trimmed coat. (As seen in the upper right corner here).

More details...

We're going to hold a raffle, and let you earn free entries for just being part of the forums! Here's all you need to do:

Starting Monday March 10th, and running through Monday March 24th, you will receive one entry for each day you come visit the forums! That's up to 15 chances to win just for coming by and hanging out with your pleo pals! (You must be logged in and visit for at least 10 minutes to be sure the counter detects you.)
We love to celebrate birthdays and it helps avoid some confusion if we know even a little bit about you, so you will receive 5 additional entries for filling in the information for each of the following profile data fields (up to 15 additional entries):
- Birthday (month and day are fine, you don't need to enter the year if you don't want to!)
- Country
- Gender
And since we like to think about this place as more of a community than a web site, we like to get to know each other a little better, we'll throw in one additional entry for each of the following profile fields you fill in (up to 10 additional entries) as a thank you for helping us get to know your personality!
- General biography
- Gilligan's Island personality
- Hobbies
- Looney Tunes personality
- Muppets personality
- Number of pleos
- Other pets
- Other robots
- Peanuts personality
- Pleo names

And then on March 25th, we'll throw all those entries into a big virtual hat and in honor of it being her birthday, we'll let her randomly select the winning entry.

To fill in your profile data (might as well do it now, why wait 'til the last minute?):

In the main menu at the top of the page, move your mouse over the "Profile" link and select "Forum Profile" from the drop-down menu.

Sounds like fun and it is very generous of Kat to offer a wonderful pleo cape, they are beautiful! I have one question, in honor of "who's birthday", Is it Kat or someone else cause I missed that part? Guess this means I am back to counting pleos, but luckily I just packed up a mountain of pleos and their accessories as my hubby demanded they were taking up too much room.( what does he expect, after all they are a "township" and towns of Pleos demand room.

Now after some energy drink, I will get my thinking cap on................RWM

A little at a time is perfectly fine . . . but for the contest, it needs to be done before midnight MDT!

V · « **Reply #15 on:** March 24, 2014, 09:41:24 AM »

Just updated my profile too

kat · « **Reply #16 on:** March 24, 2014, 05:23:03 PM »

RWM - the space that let you include your pleo names will only allow enough charactors for about five or six names. I wanted to include with mine if they were Ugobe or RB's and what colours they were but there wasn't enough character spaces to let me do that. So I say just jump in and fill in the names of your most used ones until it runs out of space or you could write something like the pleo township home to 26> pleos

Or however many you have

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2014, 02:51:22 AM »

Too many kind of stretches out the postings too. You can see the effects of this under my signature picture.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #18 on:** March 25, 2014, 08:03:40 AM »

Fell asleep last night before finishing the profile, but got most of it in, Decided to just put some names in, anyone who knows me after awhile knows I have a township of Pleos. Also ran out of room on bio and interest, so that is ok too. I am always writing too much anyway.. LOL

All the entries are in . . . and we tossed 4316 of them into our big digital hat, shook them up good (with a double randomization of the list of entries, and then used Sally's birthday in a random number generator to pick out the winning entry) . . . and the winning ticket was number 1278!!! But, since nobody actually got any tickets, I went and looked up the 1278th entry in our randomly sorted digital hat, and it belonged to . . . member 1094!!!! Oh, crud. That means nothing to most people. So, I went and looked up who member 1094 is . . . and lo and behold, that winning entry came from Margery!!!!!

As it turned out, Margery had a number entries, some for visiting the site and some for updating her profile. And the entry that got her the win was the one she earned for sharing with us what her hobbies were! So see what you can get by just sharing a little bit about yourself? So, if you haven't updated your profile yet, be sure and do! I can't promise you'll win a prize (since this contest is over

), but you're always a winner when you're a part of this community!

HuggieZ · « **Reply #20 on:** March 27, 2014, 01:45:16 PM »

Congrats to Margery!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #21 on:** March 27, 2014, 02:18:07 PM »

Congratulations Margery

There's still some wonderful prizes up for grabs over at the tomato festival!

Miqguel · « **Reply #22 on:** March 27, 2014, 02:20:58 PM »

Congratulations Margery! You've been lucky!

Angela · « **Reply #23 on:** March 27, 2014, 11:47:22 PM »

Congrats

Margery · « **Reply #24 on:** March 28, 2014, 04:23:45 AM »

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I can hardly believe it. It is such a fantastic prize.

The pleos will be very excited. They'll have to take it in turns to wear it. I will have to get to grips will photography and technology again so I can post pictures. Drem and Marsha have been nagging for a while because they have not had pictures on the site for ages. I just forget how to do stuff if I'm not doing it regularly. Retirement sure hasn't sharpened my brain power.

Thanks again to Kat for donating a wonderful prize.
