Check out our recap of the event here!

8thBirthdayPHCParty

Hey Poptropicans! In celebr”8″on of Poptropica’s 8th birthday, you’re invited to a chat-and-Multiverse party with the Poptropica Help community on the PHC, where we’ll be sharing Multiverse room codes, hanging out with each other, and having a gr8 time! Here are the details to know:

  • WHO: Calling all Poptropicans!
  • WHAT: Partying and playing games in Multiverse rooms on Poptropica, and chatting on the PHC
  • WHEN: Saturday, September 26th @ 8pm EST / 7pm CST / 6pm MST / 5pm PST (for those who don’t live in America, use a time converter to check when that’ll be in your time zone! In some parts of the world, it may be Sunday morning rather than Saturday night.)
  • WHERE: the Poptropica Help Chat (PHC) – click here to access it!
  • WHY: We’re celebr8ing Poptropica being around for 8 years!

For those who are unfamiliar with the PHC, that’s the Poptropica Help Chat, the official PHB hangout. It’s a great place to chat with other Poptropicans anytime, not just when we’ve got a party going on, and sometimes you might even get to talk with PHB staff!

The chat is moderated for safety and we do have rules to maintain harmony, so be sure to familiarize yourself with our chat policy and ranks on our Chat page, which you can find by clicking “Chat” in the menu above. Also, it’s okay to chat about other topics besides Poptropica while you’re on the PHC!

Anyway, hope to see you there, m8! Bring your 8th birthday balloons for the big event! 😀

Thanks to UiPE & Slip for helping with the graphic above. 🙂

Recap: the Poppies Awards Show & PHC Parties!

Hey Poptropicans! Didn’t we look snazzy on that header? Well, the first ever Poptropica awards show, the Poppies, is now over, but we hope you had a blast at the red carpet! Thank you to everyone who made nominations and voted – you guys made an impact in the results for the event, and for that, you can enjoy this Poppies Participant paper-craft trophy created by Spotted Dragon! Here’s the link.

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out Blake’s PHB post for the announcing of the winners, which includes HPuterpop’s livestream with several others on the PHB staff. During the party, we also had several Multiverse rooms filled with impeccably dressed Poptropicans, and the PHC (our chat) was pretty lively in anticipation of the winner announcements. Check out the recap montage! 😀

To give everyone a better chance at being able to make it to the celebrations, we hosted an after-party as well, about half a day after the first one. In addition to the Poppies, we also celebrated the PHB’s 7th anniversary. Happy birthday to the Poptropica Help Blog! The Multiverse rooms were filled with balloons, soda pop, and lots of lag. But at least we were having fun! :mrgreen:

Also, thank you to everyone who voted for me as Best Author; I’m deeply honored. :’) Spotted Dragon even sent me a foldable Poppie for my award, and it looks pretty Oscar-esque! ❀

If you can prove your Poptropican name is Golden Dragon, the winner of the Best Poptropican Name category, SD will personally send you your own Poppie. 😉

If you enjoyed chatting on the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat; our official PHB chat hangout), remember that you can always come back to it any time (not just during official parties!) to hang out with other Poptropicans and have fun (within the boundaries of the chat rules listed on the page, of course). The link is xat.com/thephc, or you can access it by going to the “Chat” page from the navigation bar up top.

And no awards show would be complete without a few shout-outs: here’s to Jeff Heim, possibly the first Poptropica Creator to ever comment on the PHB – and it was in the spirit of the Poppies!

A shout-out also to Captain Crawfish, or shall I say The Award-Winning Captain Crawfish? Not only did he win the Best Creator category, he made a subtle reference to it in today’s Creators’ Blog post about the Daily Pop-In! We may like to nom crawfish here, but we love you too, Captain.

It’s been a great event, and we here at the PHB hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Thanks especially to Slippery Raptor for the initial idea, for turning the annual PHB birthday celebrations into something more. Again, check out Blake’s post and HP’s livestream for a list of all the winners.

⭐ Thanks for popping in, and have a stellar day! ⭐

The parties have ended! Click here for the livestream & here for the chat.
Click here for our recap post with pics and here for the list of winners.

Hi Gs,

I’m bear-y excited about these details that I’ll be reveal– what, we’re not doing that anymore? Oh. Ok. Well, we’re nearing the end of the Poppies, our very own Poptropica awards event, and you guys have spoken! (Haven’t voted yet? Now’s your chance!) We’re going to celebrate the winners with a couple of fun parties, the details of which are below:

poppies parties

The climax of the event will happen on the Saturday of this week – the 25th of July at 8:00 pm EST (that’s 7pm CST / 6pm MST / 5pm PST) – starting with a livestream hosted by yours truly, where I’ll be announcing the winners of the awards. At the same time, you can mill about on the PHC chatting and joining Multiverse rooms with other awards show attendees! For this, we encourage you to formally dress up in your Poptropican best: ties, tuxes, dresses, and all!

We’ll also be having an after-party on the PHC on Sunday, July 26th at 10:00 am EST, so people have a better chance at making it to at least one of the two party times. Plus, Sunday is the date of the PHB’s 7th anniversary, so come in your 7th birthday balloons and join our Multiverse rooms!

To join the chat hangout, just visit xat.com/thePHC or click on the “Chat” tab in the navigation bar on the PHB. The Poptropica Help Chat, or PHC, is the official PHB chatroom, but besides hosting parties, you’re welcome year-round to come chat anytime with other Poptropicans online there (sometimes even PHB authors!).

Get ready for jokes! Awards! And maybe me drawing some people hmm… Click here for the livestream link! When it’s time (8pm EST on Saturday), I’ll be announcing the winners there, and you can watch the show live (or see the archived video later, if you’re not able to make it).

If you haven’t already, you have until Saturday to cast your votes in the Poppies Awards!

TAFN.

PHB Parties

Recap: PHB’s Christmas party 2014!

Hey Poptropicans! This weekend, the PHB invited Poptropicans young and old, meek and bold to join us in celebrating the holiday season on our chat, the PHC. Poptropicans met up in Multiverse rooms to throw fireworks and sneeze powder, picked and danced to Christmas songs on our plug.dj music station, chatted with PHB authors (Sam, SD, Blake, and yours truly) and more! Check out our recap:

If you’ve never been on the PHC before, especially during its peak hours, this video may be a good introduction to the shenanigans of the official PHB chat where Poptropicans regularly hang out!

Here’s a closer look at the recap picture at the end – the PHB’s Christmas card to all of you. 🙂

PHB Christmas 2014

Thanks to all who came; we hope it was fun! And even if you couldn’t make it to the party, remember that the PHC is always open as a hangout spot for all Poptropicans. 😀

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! ❀

The chat will be moderated, so it’s safe, and any rule-breaking will result in a kick or ban, so please don’t spoil the fun. 😛
