Every extra special thing we've done on the site this month is because of this Holiday, and it's finally here! Let's recap the eventful month!
SITE THEME
One of the most noticeable special spoops was the site theme! Bats, leaves, pumpkin-orange buttons.. oh my! Along with the appropriate site theme, a lot of members decorated their personal profile in cobwebs, creepy-crawlers, and spooky scary skeletons. We really enjoyed seeing everyone's profile transform! So festive and creative! The orange buttons and leaves aren't going anywhere just yet - they'll stick around through the fall season!
HALLOWEEN COMMUNITY EVENT
The FIRST ever non-competitive Community Event was successful, to say the least! The Halloween Community Event wrapped up yesterday and we are impressed by the quality and number of submissions and support you have given each other! Head on over to check out the Event Summary which includes a few featured submissions! We appreciate all of the hard work and effort you put into the event and needless to say, it won't be the last of its kind. Pat yourselves on the back and give each other high fives! Special thanks to DinowCookie for helping host and coordinate the event!
Let's talk about the friendly phantom creature that's been hanging around randomly – BATTY! Many of you have already found Batty, and if you haven't, don't fret! You still have the rest of today to find Batty, and it should be easier because it's Halloween and it's Batty's favorite Holiday!
Here are some fun Stats about Batty!
Fun Fact: Batty wasn't in our original plans for the month, but when the seed was planted it grew and we're happy Batty was well received! Batty feels very welcomed and thanks to the community for being so friendly!
Batty showed up 22,205 times for members only! 15,428 members saw but never claimed Batty!
In addition, our official Laboratory Experiments Skin Contest received 240 entries & is currently in the judging phase! There were some beautiful and unique creations & equally original stories along with them. The Pumpkin Carving Contest JUST entered the review phase which means there's still time to look over the entries and diamond your favorites to ultimately determine the finalists!

Hey. Thats all you can really hope for. Your best will always improve i'm sure. I didnt think anyone would like my experimental skins, but it seemed to work out ok. It will be great and there will always be people who are interested in making skins, so your team would do just fine
Glad you like the initiative. Theres a lot of knowledge to be shared :D I already started a skin feedback group, but I learnes that more intensive training is requited for people to take leaps in their improvement. I'll be doing my best! :3
Good to hear you wanna colaborate with other artists. It's a good way of learning how to improve the skins you produce through learning from eachother.
Guess it's safe to say I've given up on trying to catch up with skintober now. It was fun, and I made some skins I am very happy with, but I just couldn't keep it up with my current schedule. Sorry guys!
Holy SPOOP! How is it Friday already?! Not complaining, because we're THAT much closer to Halloween!! Who's going to a Halloween Party this weekend? What are you going to be? Something scary? Cute? Funny? Comment below, we're curious!
We also want to take this wall post opportunity to introduce our cute furry friend, Hallo-kitty!
He can be your furry friend, too! Everyone who participates in the Halloween Community Event will find Hallo-kitty in their awards & trophy case! Pixel art hand-crafted by Cyprezz.
Don't forget to visit the Community Event Calendar for unofficial & official community events & their deadlines! Hint: a lot of the October events are ending soon!
