The Final Fantasy Adoption Agency

[Meier Link]

Welcome to the TFF Adoption Agency!

As a Noobie you might be feeling lost, hopeless, friendless, unwanted, and / or just a little confused about what to do in such a forum as The Final Fantasy (TFF). Never fear though! We here at TFF would like to extend you a helping hand by providing you with a mentoring program.

We take pride in the fact that we are a close knit community not only with long standing members but outstanding members all together.

In this program you will have the chance to be paired up with one of our more experienced members to aid you in your times of noobishness. The intention of this program is to help you to become accustomed to the TFF way of life.

This program is set up to start with you being a “TFF Noobie” (yes that is the official title you start with) and you will graduate when you achieve the title of “Black Mage” or a total of 2 months have elapsed, which ever is the later of the two. Yes that means you have 100 posts or a time limit until you are removed from the program, unless you show great accomplishment or if you are still lacking by your 100th post / 2nd month. Keep in mind you can opt out of the program at any time and it is not mandatory to participate.

Inactive users (adoptees) will be moved to a separate list after 30 days of inactivity and at 60 days of inactivity their name will be removed completely from the adoption thread.

We here at TFF encourage you to take advantage of this program if you are thinking in any way that this could benefit you.

A note to adoptees:

There are some simple requirements that need to be filled so we can place you with some one we find similar in nature. If you have a specific member you would want as an Adopter, please feel free to make a request. If you are unsure on whom you want to be your mentor post here telling us a few things about yourself and we will try and assign you with some one that we feel you will be compatible with.

As of right now I have placed a 2 adoptees per adopter rule in effect for the time being. If need be I can grant a special pass on this rule if you find someone that you are sure you will be a good combination with. At anytime this rule could be deleted and the Adopters could be allowed to adopt more.

Waiting list

Inactive Adpotees - soon to be removed from the system: Hot Shot

Current Members who have graduated from the program: Hero without a name

A note to everyone:

To help keep things organized I will be removing all completed requests 48 hours after they have received the proper approvals. If there is an issue I will leave the post until the issue has been resolved. So if you have made a request and don’t check back on the forum until after that 48 hour period make sure to check out the “currently overseeing” of each of our adopters to see if your name shows up there.

A note to the Adpotees:

Once you have been adopted feel free to contact your adopter via our Visitor Message (VM) or Private Message (PM) systems if they don’t contact you first. You can access both by clicking the appropriate hyperlink above.

If by chance there is an issue with anything or if you are having trouble contacting you mentor, feel free to send me a VM, PM, or post here and I will be glad to aid you. Keep in mind though that we are a world wide community so sometimes it might take a few hours to a day for a proper response.

If you need immediate support please feel free to check out our “How do I” Questions forum; located here: 'How Do I' Questions - The Final Fantasy Forums

Woooo, after long talking about it, I have finally completed the update to the Adoption Agency. It took a little longer then antisipated but over all I think the final result is alot more user friendly then the original that I posted last year.

As you might notice there have been a few changes.

I have removed most of the old lists and changed them over and included them into the users bios.

There is now a section to recognize members that have completed the program.

Somoe of the time limitations have changed, note the difference.

I had intended on using a Banner made by Trieze, http://i47.tinypic.com/11bu4y9.png , but I forgot that IMG tags do not work in this area of the forum. I am glad that he made it though and it looks wonderful. Please check it out seeing he put the time and effort into making this for us.

Also you might notice that all of the old posts are gone, yes gone. I will keep a better handle on this and will continue to delete posts after 48 hours after approvals. This helps keep things to one page and helps to clear up the clutter. Point to note, there was 6 pages I went through and deleted.

Also if you are currently protisipating on either side of this program, please check your current information and make sure it is correct. Also might want double check your hyperlink and make sure they are all working for you. If there is ANYTHING you would like to have changed feel free to PM / VM me and I will make the changes as soon as possible.

Also I would once again like to give my thanks out to Sheena in her efforts of cleaning up the adotpee / adopter list. It is greatly appriciated.

If anyone expiriances issues please let me know ASAP so I can fix them.

[Tidus235]

where do i sign

[Treize]

where do i sign

Read before you post.

If you want an adopter, you need to post who you want from the list in the first post, or you need to post something about yourself, so that Meier can match you up with the best person.

Edit: Never mind. I guess I'll volunteer to adopt you since we've been talking a little.

[Tidus235]

where r the paper i want to sign right now

[OceanEyes28]

No paper, all digital.

I hope you are not a troll. Good luck at TFF. Looks like Treize is going to try and help you out.

So you're all set. Signed, sealed, delivered.

[walteroloco]

Hey, I'm new to forums, usually stick to imageboards. So I'd like to take part in this adoption program. I have no idea who to choose from the adopter's list so here's something about myself so that I can get paired up. I am very easygoing, I like to stick to logic and reason, I never troll and take pretty much everything said to the brain and think about it. I'm not really into manga or anime, I find all the pictures in a manga distracting from the story, so I prefer to read a book with no pictures haha. My imagination takes care of the picture part and I find it funner like that. I like the stories of Final fantasies and the connection you make to the characters. Something that's hard to do with real people nowadays with facebook taking care of communication. I hope whoever reads this gets a feel for me, thanks.

[Meier Link]

Treize and Tidus, it is official.

Now for Walter. I am going to pair you up with Pete. I could tell you why I have made this pairing but I think you will figure it out on your own.

[walteroloco]

Hey so what do I do now?

[Robbo]

I wasn't sure about posting this cause in comparison with most of you guys my post count is quite low. but could i be an Adopter?

[Rhaps]

Same here broham. I applied forever ago, and even got a newb, but I think it died...
Anywho, if I need to resend any info to be back on the adopter list just say so

[Magi of Worlds]

Hey Meier! I know this isn't the place to chat so I'm going to apologise up front and hope you will remember that. I was hoping you could send some new newbies/ adoptees my way if you wouldn't mind. As you can probably see, my most recent one is more or less ready. Yes, I could really dote on EvT if he was on. Anyway, that's all I wanted. Thanks!

-Magi

[Moogle]

This sounds fun. Please give me a family
I'll be good! Someone please adopt me... if
this agency is still running, heh.

[Calvan]

I'll adopt the Moogle into my family.
I've never had a pet Moogle before.

Nevermind.

[Meier Link]

Calvan you have to be one of our official TFF adopters to adopt a new member through the agency.

If you want you can start a thread in the TFF family forum requesting for a family here on the boards.

As for Moogle. Yes the agency is still up and running. Please check out the first post and pick someone from our list of adopters or you can post a little about yourself and I can pick someone for you.

[TooQuiet]

Heya! I'm not new to posting in forums, I'm usually not very talkative at first but I'll relax more after I get used to it.
Umm, info, I'm quiet and usually I wont talk to you unless you talk to me first (yeah I'm shy even over the Internet ). I do a lot of art, like watercolor paintings and such. I also like reading even thought I don't do much of it. I'm not really into manga or anime yeah I've watched/read some but I'm not hugely into it. I'm not sure what else to say if you want more info ask me.

[Meier Link]

I am going to go ahead and hand you of to Gemma AKA Unknown Entity. She is good about being friendly and bringing newer members out of their shells. Feel free to send her a VM / PM and let her know who you are!

:: Directed at moogle :: if you are still interested let me know.

[Meier Link]

After a brief PM I am glad to announce that Unknown entity has officially adopted Starfighter. I think this is a good pairing.

Now to the flip side of things. Ann has been removed from the list of active adopters seeing that she is no longer active.

Also the adoptee lists have been revised and up to date, which is sad because there are very few names left.

[HUNK]

As an update, I'd be willing to take on some one who needs assistance. Plus I'm 17...

I have internet at home now so I'll be on at least once a day and I think I'll be able to help more people.
Just checking in, to make sure I'm not put on the Notorios "Adopter Chopping Block".

[Freya]

Now you're officially 17... at least in the first post.

Meier or I will tell you when someone needs you as an adopter. Currently there's no one waiting, but I'll think of you first when someone needs an adopter. ^^

[HUNK]

Tee-hee, Much obliged bubbles.

Is there a way "we the adopters" can change our profiles? I'd kinda like to re-vamp mine.

[Freya]

Is there a way "we the adopters" can change our profiles? I'd kinda like to re-vamp mine.

Gosh, already four days... sorry I haven't been around this week, I wasn't able to come to TFF. (I don't really get why TFF isn't working at my boyfriend's place... :/ )

So here's the answer to your question, FINALLY: Just tell me what you'd like to change. Or fill in the profile again and send it to me. I'll edit the first post then. ^^

[motscroises]

I would love to have a guardian!

[Freya]

I would love to have a guardian!

And I'd love to help you find one.
But I'd really like to find an adopter for you with whom you can talk quite a lot. So would you mind telling me a bit about you?
Like, for example: Your favorite FF, hobbies, age (if you like!), ...

[motscroises]

I'm 21 years old and a psychology student. I'm an understanding person and I don't get mad easily. My favorite things are; Auron, Jurassic Park, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and film. I like to have fun, I don't take things to heart.

[Freya]

Okay, I've decided to pair you up with OceanEyes28. I already left a VM in her profile to let her know.
If you have any questions concerning the forum, she'll be able to help you.
I'm pretty sure you'll get along well and I hope both of you will have a good time.



Also, I'd like to note that I've decided to put myself on the list of the adopters, as well. ^^

[Pete]

I can adopt someone else; my adoptee hasn't posted since January.

Also, can someone else just write up something about me for that section. I feel like it'd be better for someone else to do it, instead of me writing about how awesome I am, kind of like an unbiased opinion

[Freya]

Maybe we should just write THAT. You're awesome. That's about it. XD

Okay, enough of that. I don't know you that much, but maybe you can find someone who would be able to write a little text about you...?

Currently there's no one who needs an adopter, but I'll remember that you can't wait to have an adoptee when someone asks for an adopter

[Unknown Entity]

I'm assuming Starfighter has left us for good now. He's attempted deletion of all of his posts, and left a 'nice' leaving message in Rocky's <leaving?> thread. That was short lived. ;-;

Also! I'm nineteen now. So that'd be awesome if it were to change.

EDIT: Annnd FFXIII needs to go on the list. =o

[Diamond Dust]

Good afternoon folks. New arrival here, having literally signed up ten minutes or so ago and trying to familiarise myself with the boards, the house rules and of course the adoption policy. It's rather unique for a forum, so kudos!

I read the short list, and whilst everyone seems interesting I am still a little unsure about nominating/requesting someone myself with the exception of Meier Link with whom we share a common interest in beer and is at probably from a personal point of view someone I could best relate to due to his age, but that isn't to suggest I'd discriminate toward the other younger members of the community.

A little about me if it helps with a pairing - My name is Louis, I'm twenty three years of age and hail from the land of eternal sunshine that is England. Alright, it's more Burmecia than Barbados in truth! I am currently a mature student, studying psychology and sociology in a combined social sciences course. I won't bore you with that one. I love football (soccer), music, pro-wrestling, philosophy, sci-fi (Stargate), beer (love hate relationship actually) and of course all things Final Fantasy. I like to think that I have a generally polite and well mannered temperament and an interesting personality.

I hate text speak, chavs, one word posts, pointless posts, sweetcorn, peas, being in debt, being hungover and people who never anything nice to say.

I hope that provides you a little insight and enough to find me an adoptee. Thank you for reading and I look really look forward to getting to know people.
