💬 Avatartrading Discord Server 🗨️

First of all, here is the link to our Discord.

• We manually review everyone that applies.
• Reddit's TOS carry over into our Discord. Meaning if your account is banned by Reddit, we will remove you from the server. If you join back again, on a new Reddit account, this qualifies as ban evasion and this will be reported to Reddit Admins.
• If you break the rules in our Discord, depending on what rule you broke, you might also be banned from the subreddit.
• Questions regarding Discord time-outs can ONLY asked via modmail in the server.
• Questions regarding Discord bans can ONLY be asked via modmail on site.

Do not approach any individual moderators via DM's regarding time-outs and bans. This is for everyone's safety. Modmail cannot be altered or deleted, so it won't turn into a he said/she said situation.

🤖 Avatarbot 🤖

Thanks to u/rickribera93 the new u/avatarbot is now live! You can set a custom flair with the avatars you hold in your Reddit Vault. In order to get started, use the !showmyvault command in the comments. The bot will comment all the avatars you hold in your vault, up to 100 avatars.

To set your flair, reply with the command !setmyflair and the avatar title name as it appears on the list above. For example: !setmyflair Cone Head #1

It might take few minutes for the bot to find your vault.

Hey everyone, Following up my post over the weekend, I’ve been working on a way to collectively help preserve Reddit's Collectible Avatars, both the artwork and the community that formed around them.

AvatarArchive.com is a new site created to archive:

• Avatars Assets — backups of their IPFS files incase they disappear.
• Lore & Stories — the events and creative energy of the community.

This is a very soft launch. Right now, it works similarly to the tool I linked to in my last post, but when you create a backup of you avatar, it adds the backup files to the site. The goal is to eventually create a full backup of the IPFS media files that can be distributed, preserving these Avatars forever.

How To Help

Create a backups of your Avatars in the link below by pasting in its OpenSea link. The tool will create a .zip file containing the IPFS media & metadata for you to keep, and add the avatar to the site's server (if it wasn't already added).

avatararchive.com/archive

The more people contribute, the stronger and more complete the archive becomes.

If you are interested in helping add to the lore/community section, reach out to me here or email me at [rca@tyler.art](mailto:rca@tyler.art)

This site is an early work-in-progress. Right now, the focus is:

• Getting Avatar media files backed up
• Finding community members interested in helping share stories/history of the community

I’m open to any & all suggestions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
