Hello Fanlings!

This News Post was the combined efforts of our Goatling Staff. Unfortunately, Krisgoat has contracted Covid-19 and the symptoms have caused her to need to take medical leave.

Due to this, there will be a delay in the arrival of new items, event BC and Explore Areas and raffles. The SNC events main page will also be unavailable.

Bulletin Board activities, such as face painting, writing and photography have been opened and are now accepting submissions. Tickets can be exchanged for previous years' prizes here.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as she takes time to recover. Questions regarding SNC can be directed to site moderators via GMs or tickets.





Members can now earn Carnival Tickets by Registering their booth,

"Oh hey! Did you see that new item being stocked in the shops? I want 20! I just love collecting new items for my treasure. I keep an inventory of my collection in this book so I can make sure I don't miss one. Although, I spilled my drink on this page and now the image is smudged. Of course, I can still tell what it is. If you can, I'll give you one of my duplicate items!"

Win Saltwater Taffies and 3,000 Sugar Stars! This item is now permanently located at the Bakery shop as well!

Greetings Fanlings!

July Support Boxes are now available at the Community Center.

In addition to our classic (Dawn/Twilight/Dusk) Support Boxes, we are introducing a brand new set of Support Boxes! The new box themes are Eclipse Flight, Rainbow Flight, and Solar Flight. Availability of classic and new Support Boxes will rotate every month.

Support Box Schedule
January - Classic Set
February - New Set
March - Classic Set
April - New Set
May - Classic Set
June - Break for Justice June
July - New Set AND Classic Set
August - New Set
September - Classic Set
October - New Set
November - Classic Set
December - New Set

In order to keep the amount of boxes released a year consistent for classic boxes, the maximum amount of boxes members can obtain a month have increased from 1 to 2.

Monthly Support goals are mini fundraisers that help with general behind-the-scenes expenses such as programing updates, taxes, site maintenance, staff payments, and site fees. Our longer term goals also include improving current features, and updating the arcade!

Monthly Support also helps to keep the site ad free, and sneak peeks free on social media.

Three Support Boxes are available each month on rotation; Dawn Lucky Box, Twilight Lucky Box, and Dusk Lucky Box will be available for one month, and Eclipse Lucky Box, Rainbow Lucky Box, and Solar Lucky box will be available the next (and so on and so forth). Members can receive up to two of each unique Support Boxes during each new month’s support period - regardless of how much is donated.

These mini fundraisers will be reset at the start of each month, allowing members who donate to receive up to 6 new boxes a month. Support Box(es) will be added to the members account automatically as soon as a donation is made.

Thank you for your support!

Welcome to the 4th annual Summer Night Carnival event!

Event period: July 10th to August 31st 2022
Summer Night Carnival festivities begin in mid July and run until late August giving members a chance to take their time and enjoy everything! Members can earn Carnival Tickets by participating in Carnival Attractions! Attractions vary in skill and luck, so there is a little something for everyone! Carnival Tickets can be traded in for a variety of prizes at the Ticket Vendor Prize Booth! Prizes are seasonal, and more will be added each year!

Members are now welcome to start setting up their Member Run Booths while the main events, event information page, and prize booth are being updated!



Member Run Booths, Games, and Vendors
Get your own booth set up for the carnival!



Members that have access to the forums can set up their own booth for the carnival!
Set up a Booth in the Member Contests And Events forum for carnival goers to visit!

Booth Ideas:
Carnival Games (Set up your own version of classic carnival games)
Simple Art Shop (Get your HA Bud drawn with cotton candy)
Custom Sign shop (Airbrush usernames to post on profiles)
Photo Ops (Have your Goatling drawn in front of the Ferris wheel)
Offer your services for Carnival Tickets, Sugar Stars, Items, or give out prizes!

Those are just a few ideas to get you started! Your booth can sell or offer anything you want, it can even be a little game for members to play. Your booth should be small and simple so it's easy to manage and visit during the event. Member booths should close by August 31st for the end of the event.

Welcome to Studio Blu!
A monthly prompt event based in the official Goatlings.com Discord server!

How it works!
At the beginning of each month, a Discord moderator will post an inspirational theme. Members wishing to participate can draw or write a short story or poem about a Goatling using the theme as a guide!

Prizes!
At the end of the month, two entries will be randomly selected to be featured on the site News and the members will receive a special in-game trophy!


The Studio Blu prompt for June was: Battle Goats! And the winners are:

@lilmonkee (Give Love!)
Artist's Note: my first battle goat Buzzfur


and @astoryteller (Give Love!)
Writers's Note: Small story of my goat IronPaws, should probably change his name but for right now here’s this

The hammer slammed into them, sending them crashing across the ground. His breath caught in his throat. Air escaped his lungs in short, heavy heaves. Sugar stars bounced and rolled across the ground. What had been started was finally finished. He was victorious. Hooves echoed from behind him. He swung around, gripping his hammer tightly. The goat strode up to him with a sinister grin. They let out a low cackle. He readied his hammer, and when the baddy prepared their own attack, he took no time swinging in their direction.
Victory or Valhalla.



Congratulations and thank you everyone for participating!
