davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2022

[Elfy]

I’ll add my vote for you to stay, and I’m sure Lejays is the same. Gotta get my Smarts & Crafts fix somewhere, mate.

These are a busy duo. Where are the other slackers?

It saddens me to transition away from The Dolly Market Forum, which has been my "online home" for a number of years, ever since the Pinky-Street forum faded and disappeared. However, the spam posts have become too much of a nuisance to want to deal with. Even as a moderator, I am no longer able to address the spam issue. The moderation buttons to remove the spam are "backfiring," banning me instead of the spammers. I suspect the same might happen to anyone who clicks on the "report spam" links. The forum software appears to have been compromised on a level beyond my ability to circumvent.

The Dal House uses a different forum software system which, thus far at least, has remained stable and relatively spam-free.

I am not giving up entirely on Dolly Market. I will still check back here regularly, and will continue to cross-post A Doll A Day for the present time, while hoping the spam situation gets cleared up, or until the spam level becomes unbearable.

I'm not yet abandoning this ship, but I'm taking it in tow from a more stable platform while we man the pumps and hope for the best.

I know most of you are also members at The Dal House, so I hope to see you around over there. Dal House Admin (TrueFan) is looking for ways to boost activity -- both Dal and non-Dal -- at the forum, and she is fine with any doll or doll-related content.

UPDATE: I think I figured out a cumbersome but effective workaround for banning some spammers and deleting some spam posts. The method doesn't work for all spam posts. It seems to depend on which category the spam appears in. Most of the recent spam has now been removed. So I'll still be here -- somebody's gotta sweep the dust out of the corners that these spammers track in -- but I'm going to be increasing my activity level at The Dal House as well. It is very kind of TrueFan to welcome us in over there.

Prompted by this I registered over at The Dal House. I'll probably post my weekly pics in both places, but always nice to have another place to look at dolls doing stuff online.

Dolls with water is a brave picture! (Though perhaps not as brave as dolls with fire, which I know you've also done.)

[Alliecat]

These girls need their own DIY show. Like that's never been mentioned before
Dolls with fire... nope, never again for me!
(...wait though... do sparklers catch things on fire...?)

[Lejays17]

Nooo, Im with Elfy & the others that I really like this tiny corner of the web for the photos - I've been bad this year with commenting on everything, but I do like all the stuff you post

The Smart Girls are really industrious getting ready for holiday season. (I'm always so impressed you take time out of the doing of the chores to take photos of the dolls doing the chores).

[Lejays17]

Being around water with dolls doesn't bother me nearly as much as being around fire / sparklers. I figure as long as they aren't submersed for a length of time, they'll be fine.

Doing what they do best: slacking!

This is a fun series. They are all posed so well.

[Elfy]

This one shows how big a job the girls have taken on.

Posed? They're not posing, they're working!

Yes, they're ambition may be bigger than their... size!

"We Need To Set It Up Inside!"

[Elfy]

One of these is definitely the foreman.

[Alliecat]

I wonder what all your male action figures are doing while the girls are working. Sitting around drinking beer and jawing?
There seems to be an uneven distribution of labour here
