welcome new staff members to the team!

@PlutonianOpal
what a wonderful idea! I think it would be a great way for more people to learn about musings. <33

@Toastedtea
don't worry about it! take as much time as you need recuperating; I'm sure everyone will understand.

Welcome new staff!

I've had another idea.
We were talking about special staff mascots, correct? Well I would like to point out that they wouldn't have to be an ACTUAL pet. We could always just have them as characters that represent us.
Of course if we earned it they could be a custom or something.

Ooh- I thought that was the original concept! The idea of customs as pets is interesting indeed... but I like having just a character too.
Maybe when an admins steps down they receive a custom pet of their character to remember their service by? Or maybe after a year (rounded down) of having a character, they get a custom of it on the site's anniversary? Either way I support separating customs and "mascot characters."

If we make it two different "rewards" for good admin-ship, then we can give customs to mods, admin, and even users who help the site a lot.
NPC-type mascot characters, then, would be for admin, coders, anyone who makes news posts/runs large events/etc who needs to be easily identifiable, and doesn't necessarily mean that that person is a great fantastic person (which will be useful if we bring people onto the team to run events or whatever, who would ideally have a mascot, but aren't necessarily long-term helpers).
Customs would also then be good for running kickstarters, fundraisers, etc., as basically the customizable equivalent of an OMG-so-rare.

this is so cool! I just saw this now!

[da,]

I've been gone for a few days due to school and work and personal stuff, I apologize y'all!

[fallen;]

@collectorsedition: It's totally okay! Everyone has a life outside of CS, so no worries.

Also, I absolutely love the idea of stamps, and if anyone would like to create a few, I finally have my rough draft of my mascot complete, so I'll upload it soon ^u^

As for the customs, I will have to talk with Shan more, but I am loving the ideas you all have been coming up with! Keep up the great work team ^u^

Aargh I am so excited for this website!!! If there is anything we can do to help speed up the making of the website process so you can relax before the deadline and not feel stressed and rushed to meet the estimated deadline, (which if you think about it isn't that far away) , I am sure I can help. (and others too) Have a great dayyyyyyy!!!
