I have grand plans for Ooga-Mooga to become a spot for all sorts of Poly Pop collectibles, but it really is supposed to just be for mugs right now until I can do it properly. I've tried to discourage people from adding non-mug items, for a few different reasons, but largely because there has to be some sort of parameters for what belongs and what doesn't -- after all, what's to keep someone from adding their Beanie Baby collection? Overall, it's a quibbly thing, though.

Ooga-Mooga is overdue for some of my love & attention (can you believe it's been going for a whole year now???). Right now, another project is atop my mighty project-pile, but it's very near the top, and I hope to tackle it in the coming month or two. The use of Ooga-Mooga has been simply massive, and there's a clear desire for it to be bigger and better than it currently is.

I won't be able to automatically transfer your non-tiki-mug items into the new database structure once it's in place, and I worry that if people have invested a lot of time into getting their non-mug collectibles in, they won't be willing to re-enter them properly. That would make me a sad little tikiphile.

So, please, please, pretty, pretty please, hold off on entering your non-mug tiki items until Ooga-Mooga is better equipped to handle them. You'll be rewarded with a much cooler and easier to use Ooga-Mooga!
