IST Dear Terrafrostians, it is time to announce the winners of our New Year's Coloring Contest!! As you could see we've had many amazing entries and I don't know about you, but I found it really hard to pick one favorite amongst them. But in the end you did and it is with pleasure that we announce the winners. Can I get a drumroll, please?! Coming in third are two people! Feast your eyes upon these beauties.   They were drawn by @ Void and @ Soot respectively. By coming in third you've both earned a 500 IC Coin, the Golden Competitor Stamp AND 25,000 IP! For second place we've got another beautiful entry.  Drawn by none other than @ Shade! Enjoy your 1000 IC Coin, Golden Competitor Stamp and 50,000 IP! Last but not least, the entry that has earned the most votes and comes in first......  Put your hands together for @ jerripo!!! Upon winning the contest you've earned two 1000 IC Coins, a Golden Competitor Stamp and finally 100,000 IP!!! Congratulations to our winners and we'd like to thank everyone for participating! Oh, what's that?    Seems like we're not done yet. Everyone who participated gets a FREE random 2015 Pinata, neat! We hope you've enjoyed this contest. Not to worry if you've missed it, there's always next time!

IST  As some of you have already noticed, there has been a change to our Earn IceCash page. Rather than having users vote on old, outdated voting websites we're going to be voting for IcePets on Virtual Pet Directory! You can vote once a day and you will be awarded 2 IceCash per vote. It may not seem like much but, who knows, it could help you get that item that you have been saving up for! We're currently 8th in total votes for the site and 5th for the monthly votes. Surely we can work our way up to the top of both of these lists?

IST Having the munchies for something sweet, but don't know for what? Not enough candy to satisfy your sweet tooth? Fear not! You can now rejoice over our brand new Macarons!

Make sure you stock up on these - The Candy Quest and the Space Quest are now asking for them too!    Everyone please thank our amazing artist @ Remlyn for drawing these delights!

IST Good Morning All, This is just a friendly reminder that the maintenance window will be starting in a few minutes. The site should be fine to use however, if you are having any issues, please contact us on either Facebook or Twitter and I'll look into it. If you were one of those who had the logging out issue in the past, I would love your support in testing it as I go to see if you are still experiencing the issues. Thanks

IST We have some sad news regarding staff: Due to an overwhelming amount of work offsite, @ Tokcando has decided to step down from his Moderator duties. We're sad to see you go, Tokcando, and we wish you well in all that you choose to do! Stepping up to fill the Moderator position is @ Nexinhah ! A long, loud, cheery welcome to the newest member of our team! We know you'll do great!   The Novyn Stamp is now stocking in the Post Office and the Purple Novyn Ice Cube is stocking in the Frozen Collectives Emporium! As you all know, we've been working long and hard on the recode (poor @ Judda..!) and we've been paying the posts in our Ideas and Suggestions Threads pretty seriously! We just wanted to remind everyone that every and all ideas for the future site are considered and appreciated! Some staff may be floating around and approaching some of you users for further ideas. SO exciting! REMINDER! The Coloring Contest is ending soon! After tomorrow, January 10 at 11:59PM we will NOT be accepting any more entrants and will be preparing the voting process! Good luck to all of you who have entered and click HERE to be reminded of the contest rules and prizes!
Posted by Osteology Day 80, Year 5 (7th Jan 15) @ 14:49:43
IST Just letting you all know that on Saturday, January 10 from 10am-2pm IST we have some scheduled maintenance! We'll be working on some things including login issues we've been having lately - so access to the site may be shaky. Thanks!
Posted by Judda Day 78, Year 5 (5th Jan 15) @ 16:35:54
IST Hey All As some of you may know, there are users which have been experiencing some random logging out from the site. I am making some changes to the site which may cause downtime for you (and the site to say it is for sale). Please bear with us as I am working on it.
Posted by Read Day 77, Year 5 (4th Jan 15) @ 21:24:55
IST We hope you're still enjoying the party! The pinatas have been popping up all over the place! I hear that they've been stocking in some NPC SHOPS now! All these rumors!   What is this, Plushie Month?! ( Actually that sounds really cute...) Similar to the Dabu, the Trido has gone long enough without his own plushie version! So the Plushie Ridix over at Plushie Mania has decided to order the missing species from his plushie collection and is stocking them now!     Samuel is itching, as always, to get his hands on the newest squishy plushies for his quest and he just might ask you for one! But only if you're willing to hand them over!         There have been lots of new Custom Avatars floating around the site! These new avatars belong to the following users: @ cutecat004, @ Popular, @ Chaztu, @ RooRooGirl, @ Manu @ Chaztu again, and @ Wonderrabbit!  Want to get a Custom Avatar made for you based on your request? You can buy one in the ICE Shop for 1,400 IC, or 1,260 IC if you have a Gold Account! I'm dying to work on more Custom Avatars so maybe you should throw a request my way! *shifty eyes*

We hope you're all having a wonderful night and we hope the party will continue on through the rest of the day. Don't smash me!To start things off, Pinata Mania has opened again!

You're the winner of this month's Member of the Month! You will receive 50,000 IP and this exclusive avatar! Some of the wonderful things mentioned about Manu: -Manu deserves to be MOTM. He is by far the most helpful person I know on here & definitely the sweetest. Its amazing that he hasnt been nominated yet? -Manu should have already won it and he's been very active and helpful this month!  I would say this is an obvious pick, but... this month's Staff of the Month goes to... @ Judda! We're so happy that Judda has taken over Icepets as both owner and programmer, we couldn't have kept everything together without him. Thank you for all that you have done for Icepets!
