Greetings Fanlings!
October 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!

Greetings Fanlings,
We have an important announcement regarding this years Monster Masquerade.
Unfortunately it was discovered that one of Mascots, Gloomy Graveyard, too closely resembles a copyrighted game character. For legal reasons, we will be updating and replacing Gloomy Graveyard's design and items, but we'd like to reassure everyone that the updated items will be similar in theme and feel. Items that members already own will automatically be updated.
Monster Masquerade will be extended for a week to compensate for this unexpected setback.
All Mascot Boxes have been temporarily removed from the Diamond Dust shop, and all Bulletin Board entries are temporarily closed until the items are updated. After the Gloomy Graveyard Mascot artwork has been updated, Goatling Staff will offer Diamond Dust refunds for those who are interested. 200 Diamond Dust will be given per item.
We encourage everyone to wait for the update, as we are doing our best to keep the same aesthetic and feeling of the original Mascot. We will do everything we can to ensure everyone is happy with the change.
We want to offer our deepest apologies, especially to those members of team Gloomy Graveyard who already rallied behind their mascot. We will work hard to make sure Monster Masquerade 2022 is as enjoyable as ever! We humbly ask for your patience in the meantime as we make the necessary changes.
Thank you all for your time and understanding!

Welcome to Goatling Spotlight! A mini event where we get to show off your favorite Goatlings! Each week a new Goatling will be featured in the News and the owner will receive a shiny Spotlight Trophy to display on their pets page or in their collection. This week is all about GraveyardGlam!
![]() | Name: GraveyardGlam Appearance Doll: Graveyard Glam Guardian: @Gemi Give Love! Bio: A goat, who is often mistaken for a vampire, due to her appearance; being sensitive to the sun, defiantly doesn't help either. Grave, has a love for designing and creating clothing. She can also fence, but is still improving her skills. This gal, is not afraid of adventure, whether it be on land, sea or sky. Past: As a kid she didn't really have anyone. A kind traveler, took Grave under their hoof, until she could fend for herself. She grew up, with mostly just the essentials. For the longest time, her clothes were the one thing, she could call hers. Grave, has been traveling from place to place, for most of her life. Eventually, she decides to try settling down in a town, so she can experience what it's like to be part of a community. |
