Rules
It has come to staff attention that there are concerns about Aywas art and AI models. Please note that in regards to custom pets, Aywas has had a long-standing rule that customs must be made by hand. This rule is also the reason we do not allow stock photographs or Google images to be used in a custom design. Per the rules in the Knowledge Base:
"Photographs, images or patterns, internet-sourced or from physical media, CANNOT BE USED on an Aywas image under any circumstances, as you are rarely finding the true source of the image. As a precaution this includes photographs taken by yourself, or a friend."
In regards to AI art and GenAI training models, Under no circumstance will we tolerate AI art onsite nor does the site consent to ANY of its art and assets being used to train models. In this circumstance, Aywas assets includes (but is not limited to) the artwork onsite and site colorations, but also includes the customs hosted onsite and anything using our site species' lineart. Using AI and/or putting Aywas assets into a learning model is and will be treated as art theft, which we have always taken seriously.
Users found using AI artwork onsite AND/OR putting any Aywas asset into a genAI learning model will be permanently banned from the site. This rule will be enforced even against offsite uses of AI imagery that uses Aywas assets if it is reported to staff as we will vigorously protect our works from art theft.

PPP 2025 is REAL
Events
IT'S TIME FOR THE POOL PARTY OF 2025 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
This is where the pool (thread) is located. Make sure to bring a towel!
For those of you who are new to the party, and those who are PPPs (pool party professionals), this is the general gist.
ALL BREEDINGS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR PPP PERKS MUST BE SUBMITTED BEFORE JULY 1, 2025. Breedings after this date do not qualify for perks!
The event will run until September 30, 2025, 11:59pm. This gives you three months to work on and design as many predictions as you can!
- The Prediction Caps are being temporarily removed for all coins during this time!
- Any artist that makes a prediction can enter themselves into a raffle by posting in the Artist Raffle Forum
- All edit percentages are "loose" for this event only, so we will not get up in your business if you submit a 50% breeding and it is 57%. If you have a 50% breeding and we can't tell what species it is, then we might have a problem.
- Remember! Predictions can be done for USD however if they are not Platinum Breeding Coin, Scribble or Sketch Breeding Coin predictions they must go through the Commission Panel!
RULES
• All predictions must have the PSD attached in order to qualify for this event.
• Breeding rules still apply! If you bought a breeding slot, for only one baby, please ensure that you have the owner's permission before making extra baby predictions! If someone violates this, they may have their baby deleted without refund.
• Please included "Prediction Pool Party" in your breeding notes, or predictions and breedings will be processed as normal!
• All artists must have a forum for their sales thread in our new Pool Party Subforum.
• All artists must have a forum for their raffle entries in the Artist Raffle Subforum.
LIST OF PERKS CAN BE FOUND HERE IN THE PERK COMPENDIUM
Please stay tuned for the Welcome to July post!

Exotic Pet Palace & Monthly Customs
Contests
"Surprise! It is long overdue, but my Exotic Pet Palace has received a new stock of pets! They're eager and awaiting new loving owners!"
In late November, the pet stock may be rotated, which means the pets currently in stock will be permanently retired and a new stock will replace them. So get them while you can!
If you want to have the chance of getting a design of yours into the pet shop, go ahead and submit them to the Pet Coloration Submissions forum. Some of the submitted designs will be put into Adventure, and some designs will be kept to go into the pet shop!
If your design is now in the pet shop please contact Lacia (#25044) for your free copy. That's right, if your design is accepted and put in the shop you get a free copy. That could save you a good amount of BP!
It's also time to give away three free customs designed during April under the theme of Woodlands!
To play, you simply choose your favorite from the poll below! This will enter you into a raffle for that particular design. You only get one vote, so choose wisely! If you created one of the pets below, please contact Lacia (#25044) with which prizes you are claiming.
You have until 11:59 PM AST on June 29th to get your votes in! Good luck!

Auctions, Raffles, and Bug Squashing (Mayday 2025)
Events
Good morning from the chilly land of Australia! 🥶 I have emerged from my freezer to share the GPalooza auctions and raffles with you. Please accept my sincerest apologies for the delay.
To celebrate how chaotic this year's Mayday has been, we are hosting several 1 GP raffles that will be active until midnight the 20th of June (a bit over 24 hours)!
We are also hosting several auctions here, which will end in a little over 24 hours.
Just a heads up as well, we are still working on the back end to resolve some issues with shop credit. It is possible that special credit and regular credit may not merge at midnight tomorrow but please rest assured we are working on it and will resolve this ASAP. A big thanks to Kandria who has been working tirelessly to wrangle the beast which is this year's sale, please make sure to send some love her way.

Thursday, June 19th at 12:00 AM AST
Special USD Bonus Credit will merge into the original USD Bonus Credit (hopefully)
The Whirlpool Exotic Egg will be available in the 25 USD Bonus Credit
The tiers will be cleared at 11:59 PM AST (The Whirlpool Exotic Egg will remain in the tiers until this time as well, even if there are no more Exotics available, so that collectors can obtain them.)
I'm off to bury myself under some blankets now, bye!
