1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    1. It's just "dolls" in Serbo-Croatian.

    3. Back in college I had an oc who was the daughter of a raven deity. I was a part of a role play community with it. It includes some of my happiest memories. I'm located in Canada, so I just paired the raven and northern together - and it came my online name for a lot of places.
      I've since changed my online name in various socials. My Ebay and Den of Angels account are my oldest online accounts so I just left them that way.

    5. I generated this name on Reddit, and since then I use it almost everywhere. :sweat I wish I could come up with a username that sounds like a name.

    6. Mine was inspired by Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy! :kitty2
      The name was originally for my instagram: I wanted it to have something to do with the word "usva" (which means mist in Finnish). Soo... then I paired it with "kynsi" (nail/claw in Finnish...), and thus usvankynsi was born.

      I am not sure how to translate it in a way that would capture the beauty and poetic vibe in it, but my best attempt would be "mist('s) claw". I guess >v<.

    7. At the time, I was really into Slipknot's album The Subliminal Verses.
       
    8. It's been so long I can't recall exactly. At the time I was likely heavily into series like Steven Universe or Land of the Lustrous so I liked the gem-like naming... Ironically none of my favourite characters from either shows are quartzes. I also had a habit of using online aliases with 'Q' in it so I suppose it just worked together.

    9. One of my nicknames is Nio, a short version of my artist alias, or "Niyo" if written phonetically. Doing the same in Hungarian it is written as "Nijo". However, letter "j" has a second variant in HU alphabet written as "ly" which is pronounced the very same way despite the difference in writing. The pronounciation of "Nilyo" is basically the same as Nijo, Niyo or Nio.

      And why the double ly's? Why not! :whee: Honestly I can't remember the reason but I have been using it this way for a long time already. Friends on XIV just call me "Nily" and I find it cute.

    10. Name of an OC from a long time ago: Yufi the Sage but I just shortened it to sageyufi.

      She is the sole survivor of an old technologically advanced world before the gods wiped it clean and turned her, a child, into a demigod. Story-wise, she taught magic to two main characters, but other than that, she is true neutral and keeps her history and true powers to herself.

    11. Mine is very literal. I'm new to owning BJDs and "MJ" are my first initials. XD
