Sentimentality Closing Time: End of the 6th Anniversary Festivities

Sep 1, 2010

    1. Well, it's the time, human members of Den of Angels!

      After a very full month of contests, events, pictures, and laughs, August has ended, and with it ends the 6th Anniversary events for DoA.

      I hope you had lots of fun! I loved seeing my fellow pets, and hearing your funny stories, and getting to PM with some of you and meet your animals.

      I really enjoyed seeing the tape outfits, the tshirt designs, and the photos of you guys looking like dolls and dolls looking like you guys.

      Congratulations to all of the winners! Everyone worked very hard, and it really showed in all of the entries. Double congrats to EVERYONE who finished the Great Triathlon, regardless of whether or not you placed. That's not a shabby achievement! If you did finish all three trials, please remember to fill out the form to get your official postcard!

      Also, a special thank you to the doll companies, Luts, Infiniti Doll, Peakswood, Mint on Card (Dikadoll), Seed, DiM (who donated so many heads last year that we're still giving them out as prizes!), AngelToast, JPop Dolls (again, so many prizes last year, we still had some for this year! wow!) and Little Monica, who donated their wonderful dolls and accessories as prizes. Also, thank you to members who donated wigs, heads, vouchers, books, etc, AnnoDomini, St. James, Marsh, Cirquemom, and Azurielle! Without your support, there wouldn't have been such fun prizes! And if I forgot someone, I'm sorry!! I have a small dog brain, but I'm still grateful!

      Even though we have to say our goodbyes, there are still some things to look forward to in the near future.

      1. The winning tshirt design will be available for purchase for a limited time. When they're available, we'll post in News to let everyone know.

      2. With everything else going on, we haven't had a chance to post the special DoA 6th Anniversary outfit for order. This year, it'll be DoA's exclusive design, the Dollheart Homme Fer, in pewter. That order thread will also be in News within the next few days.

      So, this little Master of Ceremonies wishes you all a fond farewell. I have socks to get
      back to rending. :aheartbea

    11. Happy 6th to Truffle and Junkets and all staff! :smallcake: What a great batch of contests. Feats of skill and endurance indeed. I wasn't able to participate this year, but hope I get to contribute to the fun lunacy next year.

      I, for one, am double-stoked about the Pewter Homme Fer. :dance Yes yes yes!
       
    12. Thank you so much guys.... it was pleasure and an honor to be the best "Fail" and learn some awesome things from my fellow DoA'ers... the Triathlon was certainly exhausting but gawd it was fun!!! it may be a week before we all clean up!!!

      Happy 6th Birthday DoA!!!!!!!!
       
    13. Thanks and hugs to everyone who made the anniversary contests possible! It was so much fun to watch! :) (and you're welcome, I was happy to donate a prize! ^^;)
       
    14. Thank you so much for everything, Truffle, and your owners too! You've all done so much hard work to make it a fun summer for us here on DOA! And special thanks to all the contributing companies, and a big YESSSSS to everyone who participated! I loved seeing all the entries and I had so much fun competing alongside my fellow DOAers. This was a fantastic month for the creative genius of doll lovers!

    15. Once again congrats to all the winners and a High Five! to everyone who participated. This year's contests were epic and amazing (my jaw still hurts from hitting the ground so much) and your talent fills me with awe.

      Happy Birthday DoA, thank you so much armeleia and all the DoA staff. You guys are awesome and wonderful and I appreciate all you've done for us.

      And Truffle, you are one adorable little princess. If you were here I'd give you tons of snuggles and scritches. And try to be nice to Farinelli at least once in a while, okay?

      LM
       
    16. This anniversary was really impressive, congrats and thank you DoA team and all the people who entered for making my eyes sparkle!

    19. Thanks a ton for all your hard work everyone! It was a blast!
       
    20. Bye, Truffle, thanks for everything! You and the humans did a great job!
       
    21. YAY such a fun time. I especially loved the swap. The contests were fun as well. I am always in awe over the amount of talent that board members posses. Can't wait for the fer to come up now that I have a doll that will fit in it. :) Thanks Truffle for being such a grand hostess and to the board owners and moderators for everything you do for us as a community throughout the year.
       
    22. That's a simply glorious picture of Truffle. Beautiful!! Make another DoA calendar and have it on the cover!! :)

      Now, you guys... you said this year wasn't going to be as big a thing as last year. Oh contraire! I think you outdid yourselves! It was just such a lot of fun to see and enjoy. I'm still boggled by the incredible creations in all categories. Beautiful, beautiful stuff.

      This is truly the sort of fun that makes the hobby worth staying in. So thanks to Truffle and all the hardworking people who helped out, donated prizes or anything else!
       
    23. Hey yes that's it we need a "Many Faces of Truffle" calendar. What do you say Truffle are you interested in being an entire calendar?
       
    24. Yey Thank you Truffle and everyone else who made this fun-filled month possible! It was a great birthday celebration. Congratulations to all the winners and good work/great effort to all entrants! Love to all and here's to another great year of Dolly goodness!
       
    25. Thanks, sweet Truffle, and everybody who made this crazy party possible. Each person who took time and put in the effort to participate even in a single challenge is a winner.
       
    26. Wooo! Had so much fun this year, I think the DOA Anniversary festivities have become the highlights on my summer, so I really hope we'll do it again next year! :D

      Big thanks to Princess Truffle *pets* and to the Mod team! *hugs* <3

      A round of applause to all of you, and to all the insanely creative people here on DOA... and the dollies that put up with our antics LOL! OTL
       
    27. Farewell for now, O Truffle, and thank you for masterfully mastering the ceremonies, and congrats to everyone!
       
    28. It has been a total blast! Thanks everyone! Isn't this just the best forum!
       
    29. Truffle, Mods and everyone else who made the anniversary celebration possible. Thank you so much for such wonderful and fun contests and activities. Definately made my summer more enjoyble. :)
       
    30. You've been an adorable Master of Ceremonies, Truffle! ^^

      Armeleia, the DoA moderation team, prize donors, and all the contest entrants with those *wonderful* (and awesome and inspiring and WOW) entries, THANK YOU for a great party.:smallcake
       
    31. I was unable to participate in most of the events due to some personal things that kept getting in the way (mainly moving, vacation, working on various other projects with others- that kind of thing) but I had just as much fun seeing the creative side of everyone shine through and create such amazing works of art!
      Not to mention the hard work everyone, from the forum-goers to the mods, put into making this all happen.
      It's just been so exciting and inspiring.

      Here's to another great year DoA!
      Now that the festivities have ended, you may put up those adorable little paws of yours Truffle, and relax after a job well done ;3
       
    32. You know, I didn't say thank you to the donators for the contests. :doh My bad!

      So thank you to all the companies and individuals who donated prizes to the contests. You are supremely awesome. :chocoheart:chocoberry

      LM
       
    33. Thank you EVERYBODY! The swap was mad fun, the contests great - with some mind-bending talent out there too - and sounds like we all had fun!
       
    34. Bye bye Truffles. Have a nice long rest. You deserve it.Hopefully I'll be able to participate in more contests next year.
       
    35. It has been a lot of fun, thanks for spending so much time to make it all happen. :)

    37. T.T I had no time for a single event this year thanks to getting used to a full time job. Maybe next year! It was really fun to spectate all the events though~ so many awesome entries.
       
    38. Thanks, Truffle! Thanks to everyone who helped organize the contests! Thanks to everyone who contributed prizes and other things! Thanks to everyone who participated!

      I didn't do a thing, but truly enjoy looking and voting for entries and reading posts. It was a BLAST just doing that! It really made me happy seeing all the work and all the fun and all the creativity involved. You all are are good folk and make life seem all bright and wonderful! :D

      Congrats to EVERYONE!!! :abow:
       
    39. Thanks, everyone! It's been a fun August.

      Farewell, Truffles. See you next year!
       
    40. I had fun reading the contests and seeing the entries even if I didn't take part. Thankyou for your hard work moderators.

      I didn't have time to get a photo of my young son (dog XD) with one of my dolls - but wanted to :( here he is anyway

      "Hello truffle thanks for all your work!"
       
    41. Many thanks to you, Truffles, and your humans for a great celebration of DOA's 6th year. The events were fantastic fun, and the talent on show was mind-blowing, making voting very difficult!

      Huge thank yous to all involved!
       
    42. Oh me gawd! It was so hard to choose winners, and I wish I could've taken part in the great Triathlon, but holidays got in the way at the end of August.
      It was so entertaining though to see all the talent, and all the hard work that the Mod Team put into them.
      Thanks again..
      * Snuggles Truffles*
       
    43. Thanks DoA for your 6th birthday party~! Though I didn't enter all of the competition, but it was so fun to see everyone's entries~~~ Thanks a lot to Truffle too, for being our lovely MC~~ Waiting for your 7th birthday celebration, Dear DoA~~~ Thanks for everything~~~ :D
       
    44. Aaah, I didn't participate in anything and now I kind of wish I could have~
      Ah well, happy birthday! The tshirt looks really nice, I hope to get one~
       
    45. I don't generally do well in the contests but I enjoy challenging myself in them. I didn't think you folks could top last year, but you did. Well done!
       
    46. Truffle, you were an amazing master of ceremonies!

      Thank you, everyone, for your hard work and creativity! I had so much fun looking at entries--the level of talent and originality was astounding~ &#9734;
       
    47. More thanks from me to all the mods, sponsors and participants, and especially Truffle :) I had the best time working on these contests and it absolutely made my summer. All your effort putting this together is really appreciated.
       
    48. Thanks Armeleia and Junkets for another incredible round of Birhday festivities!
       
    49. Thank you to everyone who helped organize and run this, it was a ton of fun seeing everything! I just wanted to make sure, but have the limited outfits and the t-shirt preorder been posted yet? I didn't see them anywhere in the regular News thread or on the Birthday news thread, but I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed it. >.<
       
    50. Id like to know too. :)

       
    51. Sorry, guys; Armeleia and I have both been sick and that really stuck a wrench in our collective DoA wheels. We will be trying to get these up as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience To reiterate, they will be posted in News, so there won't be a chance for you to miss them if you check News regularly.
       
    52. Oh, get well soon! :)
      That means the regular news section not the birthday news right?

       
    53. Yep! The announcements and ordering information will be in the regular News subforum.
       
    54. Thank you for letting us know and I hope you guys are feeling better! I'm not in any hurry, I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed it somewhere, I totally understand. :)
       
    55. Take Care you guys and thanks!
      Thank the companies too for us and their constant support
      as well as all of those that played fair!

      Thank your own dollies
      and Truffle for letting us steal
      you away to make this happen!
       
    56. D'aww I missed all the fun. :(
       
    57. A bit late in the game but I wanted to post a thank you to the DOA Mods and of course our master Truffle. ^_^
