The forums are a section of the site where users can interact. The forums can have everything from waja sales to giveaways to roleplays and games and much, much more. New waja users can find help forums and giveaways specifically to help them out, so the forums are an important feature. The giveaways can help newbies get started with their first wajas. If you're looking for fun, check out the games section. You can make your own topics or just post on topics other's have created. To get to the forums, click on the Communicate tab and click on Forums.

Before posting on ANY of the forum boards, please read the Forum Rules, found under Help or by clicking HERE. It is also a good idea to review the Stickies at the top of each forum. Ignorance is no excuse, and you will be punished for breaking rules regardless of whether or not you read them.

Forums

Admin Announcements

In this section of the forum are all of the announcements that admins have made. This is also the board where Staff-run contests tend to be held, such as design and art contests. Only wajas staff are able to create threads here, as thread creation is disabled for regular users.

Staff Review

Where you can post a review of the wajas staff. Threads made here are anonymous and will be viewable by staff members only. Only Admins (not staff members) will be able to look up your ID if further investigation is necessary. Once you post the thread it will become hidden and you will not be able to edit it, so make sure it says exactly what you want it to say before you press "Post". No response will be made on your thread.

Newbie Introductions

This is the board where new users can post an introduction of themselves to the community. Remember, this board is for introductions only. If you have questions about gameplay, you should post them in the Help Forum.
Please note that this board is not very well trafficked and most players don't visit it very often if at all. Don't take a lack of reply to your Newbie Introduction to mean that you're being ignored or that the site is unpopulated. Feel free to simply join in on a discussion in another board.

Adopt a User

Here, older members can post threads stating that they're willing to "adopt" a newbie, which essentially means they will take the newbie under their wing, answering their questions and giving them help and advice (usually one-on-one)
For adopters, please remember that you're supposed to be a guide for your adoptee. Do not just give them some WC and a couple wajas and send them on their way.
For adoptees, remember that it is generally good practice to only have one adoption request out at a time. If that person doesn't reply in a timely manner, you may then edit your post, retracting your request, and ask someone else to adopt you. Also note that the adopting members are not screened in any way; anyone who feels like it can post here trying to adopt, regardless of how well they actually know the site. Take care when deciding who to be adopted by, and try to go for a user who has been around for a while and seems to understand the site well.

Help

Here you can post questions about things you do not understand pertaining to Wajas so that other users, including Mods and Admins, may help you. Before posting, be sure to check through the FAQ to see if your question has already been answered. If you want to test out coding, be sure to use the Official Testing Thread located at the top of the Help forum.
If you have an issue that needs direct moderator attention (i.e., regular users can't help in any way), please PM a mod directly or use the Modbox.

Glitches

If you stumble across any known glitches while you are playing Wajas, you can post here on the appropriate thread and get help. This includes stuck pregnancies, color/rainbow glitches, and marking/dye layering issues. Only Wajas Staff may create new topics on this forum. If you have a problem, post in one of the existing topics only. Threads posted here by non-staff will either be moved to Help or locked.

Chat

Here you can chat with other users about practically anything. However, your threads must have a specific topic. General chatting threads (such as "I'm bored" and "What's up with you guys?") are not allowed.

Design/Price Advice

This is where users post there design ideas that they have made with the custom demo so they can get advice back on it to see if they should pay the money to make it into a real Waja. You can also post giving advice back to people on the Wajas design, and what you think the price should be for the pups if they end up making the Waja into a real one.

Other Games

Here you can post or reply to topics about game sites other than Wajas. This board also includes a sticky where you can post your clickable adopts.

Sub Breeds

Where users discuss Sub Breeds. Sub Breeds are a group of Wajas that have certain markings, colors, etc. For example, Saber Wajas only have the markings Back spots and Belly spots, and the three mutations Leg Feathers, Saber Fangs, and Mane, while Flood Wajas are any breed with any markings, so long as the color scheme only includes only a main green with some optional blacks and browns, and the very occasional red and yellow added in.

Brag

Here you can post topics bragging about something you got that's really good, you are really exicted about, etc, so that other users on wajas can know.

Clubs

Here you can make a club or join a club about something that you like. There are severl different kinds of clubs here.
Note: All clubs are required to have a particular subject. They cannot be general chat, random, or too general of a topic. Please check to make sure a club on the topic does not already exist before making one, as duplicate clubs covering the same topic will be locked. Clubs must still follow the general forum rules. Clubs must be open for anyone to join, meaning you cannot make it for only your friends and you cannot ban someone from your club unless you have good reason and a moderator agrees.

User Held Contests/Games

Here there are games or contests hosted by other users (Some have prizes and some do not). Or you could even start your own contest or game! On any thread, make sure to read the opening post carefully for details on how that specific game is going to run and any rules they may have.

Giveaways

Here users post topics where they give away wajas, WC, items, etc with no fee included. Though some may be topics where not everyone will get something for free but others will win something. On any thread, make sure to read the opening post carefully for details on how that specific giveaway is going to run and any rules they may have.

Raffles

Here is where you can enter or start a raffle, where you may or may not have to pay for a ticket. On any thread, make sure to read the opening post carefully for details on that specific raffle and any rules they may have, and use good judgement before sending your money to someone else.

Newbie Giveaways

Where older users offer free wajas, items, WC, etc to new users. Most of these have requirements of some kind, so make sure to read the opening post carefully for details on how that specific newbie giveaway is going to run and any rules they may have.

User Services

Here users make topics advertising topics they can do for other users, and other users reply hiring them sometimes, usually asking for wc in return for their services. Examples of user services include pear restocking, designing custom wajas, checking lineages, running people's sales threads, and much more.
Note: This is not where reverse breeding/studs, waja sales, art sales, or wanted services go. Each of those have their own forum/subforum where you should post them instead.

Here users advertise their wajas that are up for Breeding/stud.

Wanted Services

Here users post topics looking to hire another user to do a certain service for them, usually offering WC or wajas as payment.

Ideas/Suggestions

Here users post their ideas or suggestions to improve wajas. Any kind of suggestion can go here, but if your suggestion would fit in one of the sub-forums it is recommended you post it there instead.

Other Suggestions

Any ideas or suggestions for the site that don't belong in one of the other suggestion categories go in here.

Sales

Here users post their sales. Any kind of sales can go in this forum, but it's better to post your sale to the specific subforum it would fit into instead (for example, posting wajas you have for sale in the "Waja Sales" forum, or posting your art shop in the "Art Sales" forum.)

Warning: If you start a pre-sale, you are expected to have breeding of the product you're selling underway within 3 months of starting the thread or you risk being warned for scamming. You may only have 2 threads in this board at a time. Also, buyers are advised to be cautious when purchasing from a pre-sale; there is no guarantee that you will be able to get your money back if the sale falls through.
