Freebie Bin Discussion Board!

Posted 8 years, 2 days ago (Edited 6 years, 11 months ago) by Carnatone

A thread to discuss anything related to the Freebie Bin, where Toyhouse users can give characters they no longer feel that spark towards to new homes!

The Bin has gotten such a good reception and several regular users, and I'm super thankful it's turned out this well! Thank you to everyone who's contributed their characters, and to the people that take these characters in!

What this board is for!

-Posting your questions, comments, and concerns about the Bin!
-Discussion of possible rules and general alterations of the main Bin.

-Sharing your freebies! If you've had a good experience with anything you've gotten this is a great place to share it!
-Getting to know some of your other Bin users.
-Anything else at all directly related to the Bin!

What it isn't for!

-Posting your freebies- that's what the bin is for!
-Addressing personal concerns with a specific user or characters.
     If the issue is severe enough, please contact me directly or go to the TH staff.

Just out of curiousity, could we do an interest check for a seperate selfy/gaia/avimaker freeb thread? I don't particularly mind them in the freebie bin, but I feel like theymight do better in a "selfreebie" bin or something lol.

I'm neither side to it. I don't mind having them in thread, but I also don't mind having another thread for it.

Same with Venice

I think they don't really belong in the regular freebie bin; it's become such that they're pretty much the only things being offered and it gets dull. As someone who has very few human characters, I'd like to see the dreamself, etc. random doohickeys in their own thread.

@twosecondslighter any chance you could throw together a poll for it? :3

Carnatone

I personally would prefer not to manage three threads all relating to the same topic, so chances are that if public opinion necessitates a thread like that I most likely won't be the one in control of it. With that in mind, sure! Have a poll- I'll be counting this one on the 25th of this month at around 5:30pm EST.

I don't mind either way - though when I was giving out my DreamSelfy freebies it definitely felt really chaotic trying to sort through the claims in the middle of the freebie bin's normal activity, so I don't think it's a bad idea! - but if we do end up making a generator freebie thread I'd be more than happy to run it! I'm super in love with generators and tend to make freebies a lot with them, and I have plenty of resources I can link to aid people in making more generated freebies! I've been kind of thinking about making a thread like that, anyway, so if it comes down to it I'd be happy to take that burden off of your shoulders! 👌

That sounds great for that thread idea Isoprene!

Carnatone

Isoprene

That sounds like a lovely idea! Would you like to run something like that with some level of cooperation from me? As in, we can direct each other's users to appropriate threads and small things like that.

Isoprene

Sure, absolutely! If everyone's cool with it, then, I'll try to organize and make said thread before the weekend is over (or probably even before today is over)!

@twosecondslighter Isoprene that sounds awesome! 

jetsetspy

I think that's a great idea!

Isoprene

Alright guys, I finally had some time to make the Generator Freebie Bin! Check it out, post away, and let me know if there's anything else that should go in there!

@araneko That's a pretty good question, and I guess I'd probably leave that up to @Twosecondslighter's jurisdiction! I think if you have them mixed around in general freebie folders it should generally be fine to post them in either or both!
