Actually, the reason it’s on Halloween is to encourage people to hang around here today thereby discouraging them from trick or treating. At least that’s the lore. Similar to how the reason money is turned off on Christmas is to discourage people from posting here so they spend more time with their families.

I know, but it's more fun for it to be about greed.

The love of money is the root of all evil

We've known Catspaw is evil for ages, bookworm. So of course she gives a yearly holiday to love money.

I have been awaiting this daay!!! Yay!

Hmm. Wise idea. Instead we trick and treat on AIO.

I always forget about this day

I dressed up and everyone loved my outfit, my hat especially

And your lamp, Shen?

Yay for extra money and all the stuff.

bookworm, is money really turned off at Christmas? I don't recall that happening.

It definitely used to be, but it's possible that the tradition has lapsed in recent years. I'm never on at Christmas so I don't know for certain.

Money's been turned off for every Christmas I've ever been here and will likely remain that way.

Oh. I haven't noticed it. But that's probably for the same reason as bookworm. I'm not on a lot during the Christmas season.

Shadowpaw started it. But then, we all knew that he was evil too.

Yes, the money is still always turned off on Christmas Day.

I certainly don't mind it being today, I never celebrate Halloween anyway.

I almost always forget about $10 post day so I'm glad I decided to check in today !

I usually check late at night and then I have to try to take advantage of it. I almost forgot to login for it last year.

I'm so mad I missed it last year. >=| But I'm glad that I got to post a few times at least today. =p

yes Whitty, I went home just to get my lamp so could carry it around school

One of my teachers initially thought I was a lampshade at first, actually

But everyone else mostly recognized me so yay

I started a thread and only received about $5 for it, so I thought maybe the $10 day was over...
But then I made a post in another thread, and I got $10. So, my understanding is that only get $10 for posts in existing topics that are easy to think up a ten word response to, but we don't get rewarded for actually taking the time to think up and compose a new topic for discussion... What's up with that?

That's odd. I didn't get $10 for posting in Gower's Field, either.
