(NOTE--This isn't the thread to make suggestions about which Mascot you want--that thread is linked below
This thread is asking what people (and Mania) think of having a Mascot Campaign!)So, Mania posted that Petopia needs a new mascot. I'm sure she probably has some possibilities in mind, or maybe even has her mind made up--but I had a thought while reading the forum and I thought of something that might be fun.
In order to prevent it being lost in the depths of that thread, I'll post it alone. What would Mania & the rest of Petopia think of doing fake political campaigns for possible Petopia mascots?
People could do Youtube campaign vids, sigs, tags, and use them elsewhere--not just on these forums--linking back to Petopia. I'm sure quite a few new people would find their way to the site out of sheer curiosity regarding the sigs/tags & vids. It could generate quite a lot of interest for the site, and be something fun for the forum regs to do! Even if Mania's already picked a mascot, if we had a month or two of time before it's announced, we could still have a lot of fun with this I think!
So to summarize, people would have a reason to make some extra artwork, change their sigs/avatars up a bit, post joke campaign comments in the threads they're replying to, and direct new people to Petopia by using their campaign sigs/avatars elsewhere. I see it as a nice, lighthearted way to have fun! We could have a poll at the end, too, IF Mania hasn't already picked a mascot. Mainly, I'm wondering when the mascot is going to be announced, to know if we have time for this!
Anyway, just a thought, throwing it out there!
