*giggles* Cawky, it's just a little thing we have.
I hope I'm not being cruel to anyone in saying this, but I think I helped spawn this whole adoption thing, after all, I bought up the very late idea of a babyfur forum back on TBDL.
Basically, it first started out as "Adopt a fur", where you place a bit of text in your signature saying that you've adopted so-and-so, it's kind of like an exclusive buddy thing.
"Adopt a user" was spawned by "Adopt a fur" because not everybody was a
furry, but they still wanted to be "adopted".
Another thing that came from "Adopt a User" was "Adopt a Newbie",
this means you adopt a newcomer, show them around, give them some advice for making good contributions and generally, make friends.
I hope this has made things slightly less confusing...
Brainpower.. huh? I thought I was just under Lukie's control.
