News, Announcements, & Dev Log
I wanted to make a direct announcement for you all to say how grateful I am for all of you, and that I am so proud we've been able to do so much with you, and our team over the years.
As another year approaches a satisfying close, we are looking back and appreciating all of the hard work that goes on behind-the-scenes to keep the site a safe and welcoming environment, improving features, and adding more fun things to do!
As Members have expressed their interest in wanting to specially support our hard working staff members, I am happy to say there are many ways to do so! Sending love, posting encouraging messages, enjoying your time here, and simply being excited about updates, make us all very happy, motivated, and grateful!
And while Goatling Staff are compensated for their time, I'd like to open the opportunity to directly support our team by sending them an optional tip for their service!
So, in response to this idea, we have prepared a unique annual event fundraiser as a way to show appreciation for our incredibly passionate Goatling Staff!
In essence, this event is an opportunity to directly tip a end-of-year bonus to the Goatling Staff members, and so we have dubbed it; Tip-A-Mod (aka TAM)!
This is a totally optional event fundraiser to thank, and show appreciation to the incredible team that makes Goatlings.com possible. We only ask members who are comfortable and able to send tips as a thank you. That being said, we can't resist passing the love along, and so we have created a set of thank you gifts for members who participate in TAM!
Thank You Gifts!Exclusive Goatlings and items will be gifted to members who are able to participate in TAM! These items are only available during TAM events, and will return annually.
Bonus Gift!As a very special bonus gift, the top 3 supporters of TAM will receive a very special gift: a Design Pass!
With a Design Pass, a member gets to choose any unofficial Goatling and/or item designs to be added to the Princely Premiums VIP Shop! As long as the designs follow our Design Guidelines and Terms Of Service, any theme is acceptable.
To learn more about Design Passes, please CLICK HERE.
We encourage members to only tip what they can personally afford, and what they are personally comfortable with donating. The list of donors will be hidden to prevent unhealthy competition or overspending, and we will not reveal the status of individual members, even if asked by said member. After the event, Design Pass winners may reveal who they are if they so choose, or remain completely anonymous throughout the process. Additionally, if a top donor doesn’t wish to keep their Design Pass, they can notify staff who will pass it on to the next eligible member.
Goatling Staff participating in this Tip-A-Mod event: TBA
100% of tips will be distributed evenly across the participating staff members!
I’d like to thank you all once again, for another wonderful year on Goatlings, as well as thank everyone who makes this site possible. I look forward to spending another great year together!
Thank you!

Greetings Fanlings!
The residents of the Goatlings Kingdom would like to share with you a very special end of the year tradition!
All year long Goatlings save their biggest and prettiest Sugar Stars and turn them into charms. On the last day of the year (December 31st) Goatlings gather together and stay up late in order to greet the New Year at midnight! In the hours before midnight, the Sugar Star Charms are given to others to express an important message.
The color of each charm represents something different.
Pink - I care about you, you're my good friend!
Blue - You're appreciated, I'm glad you're here!
Yellow - Good luck and prosperity in the New Year!
Purple - I love you!
Orange - I'm sorry.
Green - I forgive you.
White - Thank you!
So, if you've have something meaningful to say to someone but haven't had a good chance yet, or it's to hard to say out loud, the Sugar Star Festival is the perfect time to let it out!
Today is the day to pass out your charms and stay up late to greet the new year! Send a Sugar Star Charm to another member by clicking the charm in your inventory, choose 'Give To Friend' from the drop down menu and click 'Use', then enter the member's name and click 'Send Item'.
When Goat Time strikes midnight, everyone yells "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" to wish everyone a good new year! The Goat Princess will then gift a special Year Badge to commemorate, and thank everyone for joining us during the past year.

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 shmoo!
 | Name: shmoo Appearance Doll: Pink Ribbon AD Guardian: @Fuzzy Give Love! Bio: shmoo is an odd creature with a thousand-yard stare. You'll find them lurking in the shadows or around odd, twisty corners. |
Favorite Treasure
Sugar Star Charm Box | Sweet Dreams Potion | Bow
Short Story
No one really knows where shmoo came from. They just appeared one day. The rest of the herd is a little wary of them, but once anygoat gets to know them, they're actually very sweet! They can be a bit odd at times, however, being spotted balancing on their head and sneaking around sunny meadows.
