Secret Userbars Thread (Unlocking quests!)

[phantasia]

I THINK I read in the ''forum suggestions'' thread that all threads that are still open to post are not
considered grave digging since the moderators are closing threads that are not relevant no mo''

But the theory of having a blank UB space is debunked since I never have a free space and got them all :p

I do think that writing long and/or meaningful posts in different threads around the forum (specially where
you're not very active have higher rates of getting them popsicles.

but then again Floribel posted this just resently
This was what Floribel posted last time it happened

This thread has been GRAVEDUG.

Please take note of the last post date, @ HiroiSekai, before posting on old topics. This also doesn't make it a free-for-all for everyone else to post on old topics, either.

Closing.

so I dont know anymore.

I am so bad at writing long posts. I am not really someone that says a lot. I would listen and then say what I want to say. Although I really think your theory is correct and posting longer meaningful posts might be the way to go.

I'm browsing around the forums to find a solution to acquire the userbar that you can add a song to. I think it's so cool. I posted in the "What are you listening to" thread but I don't wanna spam if that's how you get it. And I've also been listening to the songs and liking what others have been posting. I'm not rushing it by any means but I'm just wondering am I on the right track to unlocking it? My apologies if this has been answered in the past. I'm not a super active CK member and I'm trying to be more active and understand things better around here. Thank you. ♡

Edited to add: Is it too late in the summer to get any popsicle bars? I would love a purple or pink one. I know you get it randomly when posting in the "summer," but just wondering if it's still unlockable. Thanks! ♡

The enforcement of the gravedigging rule depends partly on the lack of interest shown during prior discussions in a given thread. The vast majority of forums automatically close threads when they haven't received posts after three months, but that isn't the case in a few places. Those exceptions are generally areas where we'll look the other way if a few posts manage to resurrect interest in a thread, but we will step in if it's obvious that people are beating a dead horse. It's bad optics when a long-fizzled conversation gets a few earnest attempts to reignite it. We'll usually prune and close the thread without any warnings or fuss, but if we get the impression that the revitalized interest is genuine, then we might leave a message telling everyone to create a new thread. Formal warnings and infractions are only handed out for repeat offenders. If we've had to reach out to you several times prior about your posting behavior, then your gravedigging is going to be handled with the severity it deserves. We're only human, and while we try not to hold grudges, we aren't going to be lenient with you if we have to constantly remind you to abide by our community's rules. Funnily enough, the people feigning confusion and frustration with how we deal with subjects like gravedigging are the same people who we've had to warn on numerous occasions not to break various posting rules. If you're not going to bother familiarizing yourself with our guidelines, then you're going to hear from us about it eventually. If everybody else is posting without getting their hands slapped, then maybe it's your posting behavior that's the problem.

I'd highly recommend giving (you need an account to see links) another read if you have any concerns about posting policies. I think you'll find that we're a lot more laid back than you might be lead to believe.

shoot I got all excited when I saw Bat's post thinking THIS IS IT HE'S TAKING PITY ON OUR FLOUNDERING AND REVEALING MORE P O P S E C R E T S

but the clarity on gravedigging is nice too ;D There was an accidental gravedigging incident yesterday that I contributed to but didn't get formally called out on, which after reading Bat's response sounds like it went without a warning because it was just a legit one-off oversight and not a habit.

@(you need an account to see links) - the popsicles are still unlockable, though rare! They're available through at least August.

P O P S E C R E T S, you say? Let's see. We've discussed that there are several ways to increase your chances to unlock, right? All of those methods have been individually determined, but did you know that all of the methods also stack? Successfully combining all of those tricks can dramatically improve your chances.

Semi-related, but I've noticed conversations dying down after the initial hype wore off. Maybe that's why unlocks have dropped? Hmm hmm hmm.

Just out of curiosity I know we've mentioned about the SPAM section but I don't know if we verified if it's possible to unlock the pops there? My thoughts are that part is sort of exempt from pop unlocking? xD I feel like I've posted on most sections of the forum but I think I'm just missing something with unlocking the acai and twister pops.

The hunt continues!

This is all I have been able to think about since the first mention of <sca><b>P O P S E C R E T S</b></sca>

Yep! Posting to the spam forum counts.

I thoroughly appreciate Bat for humoring me and Kittyray for being an Arrested Development fan

also I just looked up POPSECRETS on a whim and

TV Series
2006–2009

Mia, Kali and Loli, three pre-teens, are the most popular group in the galaxy.They are the Pop Secret.But their adoring fans have no idea that behind their glossy, sparkly, superficial appearance lurks a trio of razor-sharp secret agents.And what a challenge it is: living as pop stars by day, and secret agents by night.

apparently this show ran from 2006 - 2009, I am speechless it's like Bratz meets the Quiznos spongmonkeys
