New Feature
The Arctic is a place that has not yet been touched by man. It is a strange connection between Ay and Ara, close yet far away.
In your travels you'll find Fossils.
Why not turn them in to the Museum?
Your journey awaits...start exploring!
edit: fixed a typo <_<

New Server!
Site Update
Welcome to our new server!
If anything seems goofy, please report it here :)
I am going to be working on releasing the Arctic, where Ay and Ara collides, so we can test out the server capabilities. I will update again when it's open!

TOS Update - 3/26/2011
Rules
Some new rules have been added to the TOS. Most of them are common sense, and have been outlined below:
- we do not release any personal information except in the case of requirement by law, to protect ourselves or other similar sites against individuals who commit phishing, hacking, or other such illegal behavior, or in the case of a payment reversal
- if a user is banned, they cannot come back on a shared account or register for a new account without administrator permission nor are they allowed to access or utilize any Aywas assets, such as pet PSDs or pet images
- if an account allows a banned user onto it without written permission from an admin, that will be considered a violation of the TOS
- any attempts at hacking, phishing, or otherwise unauthorized access will be met with a permanent ban, a report to the user's ISP, and a report to the authorities
- the section on "forum reputation" was removed because we have no reputation system here :p (though we did in alpha!)

Incident Update
Site Update
For those of you who would like some news regarding the March 24th incident, I have filed a report with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center disgorging all data I have recorded regarding the individual who compromised my account and caused stress to you all.
After I get a reply I will let you know how things go.
EDIT - Regarding our server change. We spent most of today editing the pages and testing things. Our change looks like it's going to be coming tomorrow, as our host is five hours ahead of us. So, hang in there. :)

Dump Shop Genuses
Pets
You might have noticed a Metal Custom Coin being sent to you if you logged in the last 24 hours -- this is one of a new set of custom making items we are going to be working on developing genuses for. :)
They're technically called the "dump shop" genuses, because you get all four custom coins from the Trash for Treasure Store! You can find their genuses on the custom-only thread in Pet Coloration Submissions.
Why not download the Simii PSD and enjoy your free coin?
You spoke...you wanted better items in the dump shop ... and we listened!
Guess what? Since this is an official line of custom items, you can vote the Raw Crystal pets into this line if you want too. So when the Corra and the Chorlu go into voting, you can vote them to either "CRYSTALS," "ORBS," or "COINS!"
Isn't that exciting?

Update -- 3/24 Situation
Site Update
So, it looks like I can't go have dinner with a friend without shenanigans going on. :p
Aside from what you already know, with the combined efforts of the Aywas programmer and the Felisfire programmer (and lots of Eri too!), we've tracked down some very specific data regarding the individual who got into my account.
That information was forwarded to the host who owns the server it originated from - and they will be getting back to us soon regarding what information we can send to the authorities.
I'll keep you updated, if you're curious how this situation plans out. If I can get the right information, I will press charges on behalf of the site for hacking and myself and all of you, who experienced stress from this.
Our move to a new server tomorrow will be commencing as well.

We're still here, guys. <3
Site Update
Okay guys, I need you to keep calm and listen up, okay? That news post was completely bogus; Aywas is not closing and this was not done by Slash as an April Fool's. We believe that his account was temporarily compromised so I've taken his admin status away. I just spoke with Slash on the phone and he's out at the moment but will be home in about an hour and we'll get everything sorted out, so hang tight until then.
Edit: Slash and Yasu are now both online and have been for some time, so you are in good hands. I'm off to bed but didn't want to leave you without that reassurance. I'm sure we'll have more updates for you soon!
