Revision as of 15:13, 6 April 2014

Den of Angels (DoA) is the largest English-speaking forum in the world for Asian ball-jointed dolls. DoA started in May 2002 as a Yahoo!Group, but outgrew that format and moved to a PHP-based internet forum in 2004.

Major Sections

DoA is organized into eight major sections.

Using DoA
This section houses threads that are about the forum itself: rules, announcements, and tutorials for using the forum's features.
Community
This section is for connecting to the community through organizing meet-ups, posting links out, planning new dolls, and waiting together for the arrival and new dolls.
News & Reviews
This section is for threads related to company news and events, reviews and questions about buying and shipping.
Reference
This section includes the ABJD wiki, photo reference forum and BJD database.
Discussion
This section is the most active area of the forum and holds all of the discussion-based threads. It is divided into several smaller subforums to focus on specific doll sizes and sculpts as well as different styles of discussion.
Workshop
The workshops focus on the customization and hands-on artistic aspects of the doll hobby.
Galleries
This is one of the largest sections on the forum and holds all image-based threads, from playing imaged-based games to members sharing their own dolls to requesting specific shots of other owners' dolls.
Marketplace
The marketplace is the main second-hand market for BJDs for English-speaking collectors. (It is for individual sales, not company or dealer sales.)
