We’ve all gone far too long on this forum without a frivolous Holiday themed activity. So from the same guy who brought you that Valentine thing, that St. Patty’s Charm thing, that Easter Egg Hunt thing, and that month of June thing comes a whole new “thing.”
How This Works in a Nutshell (roasting on an open fire…)
Ultimately this works like those “hatching” gif eggs that people like to put in their sigs. Below are 10 categories of gifts you can choose from to give to your friends via PM. They can then put those gift icons in their sig and on Dec. 25th, Christmas Day, they will “open”on their own revealing the gift that lies inside them!
There will be Avatar-themed gifts hidden in each category like this:
There will also be many non-Avatar themed gifts as well:
How This Works in Detail
Select your favorite Gift boxes from the Holiday Store below to send to your friends. The only clue either of you will have as to what type of present they are is by the category they're listed under.
Copy the image address of the present icon you like by “Control Clicking” or “Right Mouse Button Clicking” the icon and selecting “Copy Image Address” from the menu that appears.
Once you have that address, paste it into a PM with a friendly Holiday note and send it to your forum friends! You can send more than one present, but try to not send too many or your friend may not be able to display them all in their sig, which brings us to the next step…
When you receive gift icons from others, feel free to show your holiday spirit by displaying them in the sig area of your profile by copying the image addresses of the icons and pasting them into your profile’s sig field like this:
Be sure to remember to place them within the image code tags!
That way they’ll display in your profile’s sig area properly as icons like this:
Then, come back to the forum on Christmas Day and your presents will magically “open” so you can find out exactly what you've been given by your forum friends for Christmas!
So go spread some Holiday cheer and contribute to Distant Horizon’s virtual Black Friday by giving the gift an icon this season!
EDIT DEC/11/07:
Due to the overwhelming participation and everyone's desire to display all of their gifts in their which sadly, due to a 400 character limit can't be done...
...We've started a new sticked thread where everyone can display all of their gifts in full and have a chance thank those who sent them without maxing out their sig zones!
