[b]For adoptables makers,[/b] GAP pinglists can be copied and posted to personal 'adopt shops' (threads) when releasing adopts matching one of more of the specific categories. [color=Green]You can also add your shop in the tab "Shop Directory" so that future customers can find you more easily![/color] For in-depth details on how to properly use G.A.P. see the navigation below. ----------------------- [center][size=6]Navigation ----------------------- [size=5] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/adopt/1738015/1#post_17401112]++ Adoptable Seekers ++[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/adopt/1738015/1#post_17401113]++Adoptable Makers ++[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/adopt/1738015/1#post_17401114]++Questions?Comments? ++[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/adopt/1738015/1#post_17401114]++Banners/Links ++[/url] [/size][/center] [/size] ----------------------- [center][size=6]Credit[/size] ----------------------- [size=5]GAP Banner created by @Duh!

[center][size=7] ADOPTABLE SEEKERS [/size][/center] 1. Click the G.A.P. banner above -- It will take you to the Google doc. Make sure you read and abide by the rules posted on the first page of the Google doc. 2. Add your username (with an @ in front) to the list/s that interest you. There are breed specific tabs as well as 'all' tabs. Feel free to add yourself to any/all lists that interest you. 3. Only add your own name -- [b]DO NOT ADD/DELETE OTHER PEOPLE.[/b] That's how pinglists get shut down/etc. For the ONLY exception to this rule, scroll to the RED "BE INFORMED" section. Also, please TYPE your name when adding it, don't paste it! Accidentally pasting random information into the google doc can cause problems and headaches for all. Better just to type it out :) 4. When using the "Specific Requests" tab, try to use KEY WORDS separated by spaces (ex: "Nature Space Royal Pastel Zombie") instead of full sentences. (ex:"I want accents with a lot of color and only on the wings...etc"). Using strictly keywords allows us to better create these awesome WORD CLOUDS of the most commonly requested themes! XD 5. [s]Say goodbye to your [/s][img]http://flightrising.com/images/layout/icon_gems.png[/img][img]http://flightrising.com/images/layout/icon_treasure.png[/img] Wait to be pinged! :D

[center][size=7]ADOPTABLE MAKERS[/size][/center] 1. Click the G.A.P. banner above -- It will take you to the Google doc. Make sure you read and abide by the rules posted on the first page of the Google doc. 2. Copy/paste the names from the appropriate breed/category column/s into your post... and don't forget to ALSO copy/paste the names from the appropriate ALL BREEDS TAB. 3. [b]IN THE SAME POST AS YOUR PING, INCLUDE A PREVIEW/EXAMPLE/PIC OF THE ADOPTABLE IN QUESTION.[/b] People get frustrated if you make them hunt for it, or navigate back to other pages in order to see why they were pinged. 4. [b]IN THE SAME POST AS YOUR PING, INCLUDE A LINK BACK TO THE GAP.[/b] (Very Important!) This ensures people can easily find it and add/delete their names if they were pinged when they didn't want to be, etc. 7. [b]ALWAYS COPY THE NAMES FROM THE GOOGLE DOC, NEVER FROM A PREVIOUS POST OF YOURS, OR SOMEONE ELSE'S POST. [/b]Names are constantly being added/deleted, and copying a previously used pinglist can cause confusion and frustration for seekers. 8. You can GAP ping once to any adoptable regardless of how long it's been available on your personal board. However, do NOT ping people from GAP twice for the same accent/skin -- unless you're re-releasing that adoptable after a long hiatus/retirement/cycle OR adding a new breed OR making other significant changes! 10.[s] Bathe in a swimming pool of[/s] [img]http://flightrising.com/images/layout/icon_gems.png[/img][img]http://flightrising.com/images/layout/icon_treasure.png[/img] Watch your business grow!

Aaand pinging people who were interested in this:

@Grillbz @Toriel @Murasaki @Duh @Roro

Looks great! I really hope this takes off like the GASP one

Edit: The keyword search works as well! Might want to specify that buyers add their name to the Specific Requests, not the Search (I feel it might come up)

@Duh Would be great :)

@Saccharine

Pinging myself so I can check in on the progress here. I'm so glad this has started! I hope it becomes popular because I know I'm always checking the forum for specific breed adopts. XD

@Akkisuitok thanks for setting this up and for pinging me! Trying to add myself to some of the fields in the All Breeds sheet brought up protected cell error messages, though; could you let me know when this is fixed so I can add myself? ^-^
