The source surrounding the "community" dropdown menu, there are several entries hidden within HTML comment tags:

-New Species
-Poetry Contest
-Fan Art Gallery
-Weekly Editorial

See for yourself.

Interesting sounding, doesn't it? Not sure if this is already well known or what. I'd assume...

@takochu So, I like the ideas of CC Trading and Easier Trading.

purrclan • 23 March 2014 at 4:11 PM

@takochu
But you don't need to see the creature on the page it's posted on.

takochu • 23 March 2014 at 4:10 PM

@purrclan

Not URLS. Codes where you see a picture of the creature. That's how clickable spam works!

purrclan • 23 March 2014 at 4:09 PM

@takochu
Maybe not BB Codes, but there are other ways to link to creatures.
URLs and (for Egg Cave creatures) eCode links come to mind.

takochu • 23 March 2014 at 4:07 PM

@purrclan

Yes, there is public trading AND private trading. BB Codes don't work in the egg cave forums. (clickable spam).

purrclan • 23 March 2014 at 4:04 PM

@takochu
1) Tradeable CC...that's a complicated issue. We used to have CC gifting - that didn't work because scammers, then again it wasn't that much worse (to my knowledge) than the way it was before and the way it is now. Then again that wasn't exactly trading, so...Then again, maybe leads to EC p...

takochu • 23 March 2014 at 3:39 PM

@pjbuzzy

Clickable spam is a page where people could post a BB Code of creatures from this site or others to get them clicked, viewed and fed.

By easier trading I meant how they trade on CS. You would send a private trade with the things you want from the person and the things you would trade. Th...

pjbuzzy • 23 March 2014 at 3:35 PM

@takochu

I like the Tradeable CC idea.

What do you mean by "Easier Trading"? I think you need to be more specific that that.

I don't like the CC auction idea because the whole reason for the EC auctions was to bring EC up in value, and by creating CC auctions, that would basically destr...

spiritkoi • 23 March 2014 at 3:30 PM

@takochu I still don't get easier trading...

Yes there were and I heard it was absolute chaos.

takochu • 23 March 2014 at 3:29 PM

@spiritkoi

Easier trades just mean a private trade where you can add things from another users cove and add stuff to your side. The person could accept, decline or edit.

Clickable spam is a page where people could post a BB Code of creatures from this site or others to get them clicked, viewed an...

spiritkoi • 23 March 2014 at 3:26 PM

@takochu The CC ideas are not good, sorry. You should see what happened to the beta testers in CC auctions.... Define easier trading and clickable spam page. I don't like the untaken names list. 1) WAY too many combinations to list 2) someone would take all the good names that are left

takochu • 23 March 2014 at 3:22 PM

I have had the following Ideas:
Tradeable CC
CC auctions
Clickable spam page
List of untaken names
Easier trading

@pegasasu
Well, we're coming up on five years this July, so anything's possible 😋
And yeah, the Kujak came first in 2011 and it's come back every year since then. Actually, I think it was the second creature to be seasonal...
The first was the Ghosty, but that was mostly because they hadn't come up...

pegasasu • 23 March 2014 at 12:33 PM

@spiritkoi

Ohh, the Ami is coming back? //killed Oops. I don't pay attention. c:

@purrclan

Ehh, that's true. Ten years, I doubt EggCave will still be alive xD Kujak is returning too??

spiritkoi • 23 March 2014 at 11:50 AM

@pegasasu A seasonal comes back next year like the Ami and LEs are retired.

purrclan • 23 March 2014 at 11:49 AM

@pegasasu
Yeah, but that's basically extinct.
And ten years from now...who can say what will happen?
Also, a seasonal returns every year, like the Kujak. An LE doesn't.

pegasasu • 23 March 2014 at 11:47 AM

@spiritkoi

...What's the difference between a seasonal and an LE-- //killed

What makes creatures so coveted is three traits that I've noticed.

1) Wolf/sparkly image (Nym, Biwo, Goldox)
2) Cute! (Tine, Nym, Onny, Pixigog)
3) Very rare CSP; possible unpopularity at initial release (Doovoo, Macbot)...

purrclan • 23 March 2014 at 11:47 AM

@spiritkoi @pegasasu
Yeah, both of those options do exist.
Except sometimes, users quit. Sometimes they quit without giving their creatures away.
Sometimes they leave their creatures to be there forever, a sort of undeathness as they waste away just sitting there doing nothing, their owner gone fore...

spiritkoi • 23 March 2014 at 11:44 AM

@pegasasu The only thing that could make a species go extinct if every account with a dead one was deleted along with the immortals... I really hope they get more LEs out there. Seasonals are nice but there should be more LEs.

pegasasu • 23 March 2014 at 11:42 AM

@spiritkoi

That's why the probability of extinct creatures is so low. People are getting REALLY good at immortalizing. And there's Resurrection Stones.

purrclan • 23 March 2014 at 11:41 AM

@windchill
Yep. Then it was 150, then 300.
I'm sure that once we get, oh, four more creatures? We'll get another expansion. After all, there are always people who want a cove full of every species, and you can't exactly do that with a cove of 300 and a creature count of 301.

spiritkoi • 23 March 2014 at 11:41 AM

@purrclan @pegasasu Extinct creatures... That's interesting. You couldn't, say, resurrect them? And what about the immortals?

pegasasu • 23 March 2014 at 11:41 AM

@windchill

I've been on EggCave for almost four years. I remember it. c:

It was a struggle OTL Personally, I've never wanted many creatures on my account, though. :> It's a hassle to feed 'em all.

@purrclan

Mhmm, I remember that. There were a few topics thanking him, but a lot of people wer...

windchill • 23 March 2014 at 11:38 AM

@pegasasu
If you read the OLD news on the blog you'll get details on how it was on eeg cave like 5 years ago.

I noticed back then you could only have 100 creatures back tjen on your account. Wich kinda sucked.

purrclan • 23 March 2014 at 11:37 AM

@pegasasu
I don't know what his personal opinion is, but in the aftermath where half the users were going "HOW DARE YOU! THAT WAS THE MOST HORRIBLEST THING EVER TO EVER HAPPEN ON EGG CAVE!!!!!!" he said that. Then again maybe if a creature actually did go extinct, and everyone was sad, he...

pegasasu • 23 March 2014 at 11:36 AM

@frosted

This new artwork gives me a bit of the creeps-- //killed

But it's definitely interesting to see a variety of art styles on EggCave! I love these SAR creatures like the Trinit. ❤️

Deleted • 23 March 2014 at 11:35 AM

@pegasasu
The creatures which have new artwork.. something unique and cool about them 8D

pegasasu • 23 March 2014 at 11:35 AM

@purrclan

Wait, he did? I do remember everybody freaking out and such, but I thought it was a great idea to rekindle the trading spark.

Extinct creatures? That would be interesting.

@frosted

I think the key to getting rid of this EC surplus is definitely to make the SAR Center have more valuabl...

purrclan • 23 March 2014 at 11:33 AM

@pegasasu
I'd say that would be a good idea, except 1) half the users on the site would hate it and 2) after last time Ian promised to never do it again. ☹️
Although if it was in the SAR Center at high prices it wouldn't be so bad...but that's not how some people see it.

Ian has actually said that...
