O HAI! Remember us? We're still alive and to prove it, here's a journal!

A while back we had the idea to have members submit photos they will allow to be captioned for the members who are without photos. No one ever submitted, until now! =all4athena submitted a photo for captioning. So caption and submit or submit photos to be captioned! Let's keep this aliiiive!

Photo can be found here: [link]

Update #2
Well, the competition has been cancelled. We simply didn't have enough submissions. Sorry, guys.

---

Update
Okay, so the deadline has passed, and we had a grand total of... *drumroll* One application!
C'mon guys, this club doesn't bite. XD We really need some help with keeping LOLphins active! I want to see a minimum of three applications.
How about this...
Whoever submits an application shall receive a free cookie from Febs. Now I expect a horde of apps!

We'll extend the deadline to:
Friday, December 12th.

If we don't receive at least three applications, then I'll have no choice but to award the new comoderatorslashminion position to myself. W00t!

---

LOLphins has been in its own little recession lately, due to two busy lives. So we decided to allow one more person to join our selective group of comoderatorslashminions! Hopefully this new person will get the club back on track.

To apply, send us a note titled "Comoderatorslashminion Application" and answer the following questions:
Name
Age
Average Time Spent on dA daily
Why you should be comoderatorslashminion

We prefer members who have been very active in the club: people who have participated in past contests, have submitted lots of pieces, etc. And remember to sell yourself! Just like colleges, we're looking for applications which stand out from all the others. Show us that you're unique and dedicated, and that you can get this club active again.

Good luck to all!
~Tillikum

New addition to the club!
We need to get active again. To do that, we need more submissions. In order to do that, we need more photos and more ideas for captions from our members. So I propose that we take this idea from ICHC...
Have a dolphin photo that is perfect for being a LOL pic, but you either don't know what to write for the caption, are incapable of getting the right font with the little black border, or you're feeling a bit lazy? Have no fear! Simply submit a plain dolphin photo (no caption) to us in a note, and we will add it to our Scraps. Anyone who wishes to caption a Scrapped photo may do so. Simply send your caption in through a note (please be sure to mention the name of the photo your caption is for) or add the caption yourself with those sweet Photoshopping skillz of yours. And just like at ICHC, Scrapped photos may be captioned more than once. So if an uncaptioned photo has already been captioned and submitted to the gallery, have no fear! You can send yours in as well and get your caption in the gallery.
This new addition to LOLphins will give an opportunity to those who don't have their own dolphin photos to contribute to the club. Hopefully we will get lots of great photos ripe for captioning!
Hope to see them soon!

your second-favorite comoderatorslashminion,
=Tillikum (:

Aye, 'tis I, Tillikum! I have come back to LOLphins after a brief period of... three months? x_X;; Must redeem mahself! Anyways, there are about a dozen new submissions, and they're all priceless. Go check 'em out!

If anyone has any ideas on how to get this club back on track, we'd love to hear them!

Now... back to playing Insaniquarium. x)

Finals are done and I can get back to kind of working on this account, but I think we may need a second co-mod who has excess amount of time seeing as atleast I (and perhaps *Tillikum, though I don't know) don't have all the time in the world to constantly check on here, maybe someone to handle submissions only? Just an idea? Anyone have any ideas?

Hope everyone is having a great holiday season thusfar and for all of those who celebrate - Merry Christmas a little early!

1. We have new deviations thanks to =bubblywums and ~IslandWave! And they are hiiiiilarious! No lie! Go fave and comment away because they totally deserve it.

2. We aren't shutting down. Slowing down, probably since it's school time - truuuust me, I know how busy it can be - but we still welcome any and all deviations.

3. At the suggestion of one of our amazing members, please do the club a favor - advertise us in some way on dA? I know I've done it and I know ~Tillikum has as well. It can be in your sig, your journal, forums, chats, whatever! Anything goes!

PS. We still need an avatar! And you don't want to see the lame one I would come up with!

your favorite founderslashmoderator,
~OrcaAmbition

It was a tough call as you guys are all amazing, but I decided to go with ~Tillikum as she sold herself the best. So give her all the congrats she most certainly deserves!

A few quick notices....

When you submit from now on, make sure you use the font Impact. I'm pretty sure it's on every computer! And also, white font only please and make sure your font has borders.

We have an awesome Logo that will soon be available created by your new comoderatorslashminion, ~Tillikum

And expect a LOLphins tutorial to teach everyone the fine art that is creating a LOLphin deviation because people don't seem to get how to speak LOLphin (study icanhascheezburger.com, okay?).

What the heck LOLphins?

LOLphins was the uncreative brainchild of =OrcaAmbition after she spent FAR too many hours giggling over LOLcats on icanhascheezburger.com. We are under the impression that cetaceans, specifically all the types of dolphins in this case, are far superior to cats and through our submissions, we will prove our theory right! LOLphins FTW!

Joining LOLphins

Easy as 1, 2, 3! See?

1. Befriend LOLphins - watch evvvvverything! That means scraps too, just in case. If you haven't befriended LOLphins, you will not be a member until you do so!

2. Send a note to LOLphins with "Join" in the subject. If you don't send a note, but befriend LOLphins, then you're pretty much going to just watch us and not be a member, so make sure to do both!

3. Be active! This doesn't necessarily mean you have to submit a ton, but make sure to leave comments or faves on the appropriate page! Involvement FTW!

Submissions

Submitting to LOLphins is easy as well.

You have the choice of uploading it to dA and sending us that link to which we will link back OR upload it to imageshack.us (or something like it) if you don't want LOLphins in your gallery and we'll just upload it and give you credit without LOLphins clogging your gallery.

Either way, send a note to LOLphins with "Submission" as the subject and provide a link through dA or imageshack.us or another site like it. Provide photographer/artist info if the photo or art is not your own! And MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO USE IT! If not we will probably give you a warning, then remove you if you do it again.

Rules

Just a few to keep things orderly.

1. Assuming most photos will be from a captive environment as opposed to a wild environment, absoloutely NO anti-captivity remarks will be tolerated! These will be reported and the remarks will be hidden.

2. On that same subject, do not submit LOLphin deviations that are anti-captivity. You know, the poor whale in captivity sort of thing. If you submit them, we will simply reply to the note in whcih it was sent and explain why it will not be submitted to LOLphins. This should be easy to understand.

3. Be nice! No remarks saying a LOLphin deviation is stupid. That's just silly and plain ol' uncalled for! We will slap u wit our feesh on teh no3s!


-----------------------------------------------------------------

Possible Ideas
Since I can't afford a domain nor can work on a site that is the equivalent of icanhascheezburger.com, but I do love that each of their LOLcats have a tag on them stating where they came from, I was thinking of making a logo to be put on LOLphins. It's small and tucked at the bottom, but if people start stealing, we'll know the originating source and be able to shun the stealers! Yes/No?

If yes, can anyone do a small pixelwork of a dolphin? 'Cause I'd mess up hardcore.
