It's been two years already!

Yup, that's right - it's exactly two years since Virtuadopt started its activity - and it's not a joke! :)

From a small site created for friends, it evolved into something much bigger - a great community, to be precise. I am not too good at speeches, but still, I am really glad you are all here. Your activity is what keeps this place alive.

I'd like to thank to the whole staff - UkeSora, Nautilus, yankeesrule3526, Shadow, Ellie, stream and Chaosninja - I wouldn't be able to run this place without you.

And of course, thanks once again to the loyal users. I will try to make this site even a better place.

Let's hope it's not the last birthday - and that I will be able to make a similiar announcement next year! :lol:

As for today's special stuff: there will be no April Fools Day jokes, don't worry.

However:

a)We have decided to bring back Birthday Adoptables, though in different form. This time we won't be sending them on your real birthdates. This time, if you are with us for at least 365 days, you are able to claim a new Birthday Adoptable - in celebration of your VA birthday!

While Birthday Pikachu is not coming back... a Birthday Charmander takes its place.
Adoptable
There were too many Birthday Pikachus released, to re-release them again... But, we have decided to finally make them tradeable - that way, the ultimate collectors, who didn't have a chance to get one, may get one through trade.

To get a Birthday Charmander, visit this link:
http://www.virtuadopt.com/birthday.php
Remember, that you need to be registered for at least 365 days, to get it. You may get it on your VA birthday, and in the next 7 days - don't forget about it, or you will have to wait another year to get a Birthday adoptable.

b) The second part of this announcement is the release of another new promo.

All onsite games have been grouped into a new location, Game Corner:
http://www.virtuadopt.com/game_corner.php
You may ask, "what games, we only had one raffle game?". The answer is - a new game is in town, "Guess the Number". Every 12h you are able to guess a number between 1 and 100. If you are correct, a DNA Pokemon may join your team - the Deoxys:
Adoptable
The Arcade Games have also been moved to the Game Corner - the map will get updates soon as well.


c) A new Arcade Contest is up:
http://www.virtuadopt.com/forum/arcade. ... =play&g=57

A contest thread should get posted soon

d) It seems we totally forgot about the cake... Here it is, to celebrate this special occasion! :)
Adoptable
http://www.virtuadopt.com/freebie.php

It will be available for the next 24h.

That would be all!

stefanol,

What did you mean by this? Is it only good till the next 7 days after today?
You may get it on your VA birthday, and in the next 7 days - don't forget about it, or you will have to wait another year to get a Birthday adoptable.

I can't get a Charmander, although I am pretty sure I have been hre for more than one year already..

Dustydragon, it means you only have a week to grab your Birthday Promo -
otherwise you'll miss it.

The answer is simple to those questions: You can get the Birthday Charmander on your VA birthdate - that is, if you are registered on 20.08.2009, you may get Birthday Charmander on 20.08.2011 (and in the next 7 days as well).

It wouldn't be too much of a Birthday Present, if it was available for the whole year for majority of users, wouldn't it? :)
