Vote on Breeding Decision

Site Update

Goto News Post

Hi guys, the Breeding Department and I have a proposition for you to vote on.


Are you in favor of eliminating old x new lineart support for the LBC/HLBC in exchange for expanding alternate pet linearts?



What does this mean? Let's break it down...

###


Cons


- You would no longer be able to submit an old x new lineart breeding via LBC or HLBC unless you are using your own predicts

- You would not be able to submit an alternate x other lineart breeding of a same pet genus via LBC or HLBC (which we currently do not allow, anyway)

Pros


- We would be able to offer you alternate linearts for Aywas pet genuses that you could make customs from without harming the Breeding department's wait time, giving you a wider range of poses

- The breeding department would become healthier and faster as LBC and HLBC requests between two different lineart pets would not require the attention of site hybrid artists

- Price ceiling on old x new predicts would be eliminated so you or your artists could charge whatever desired for your different lineart but same genus predicts. (note that price ceiling on other predicts would still be in effect)

###


If this action were to pass, breedings already in the queue would not be affected by the new action. The action would apply to breedings that are submitted from its approval and out.

Approval rate needs to meet 70% "Yes" to be approved.

Coming to a close

The Raw Crystal sale is ending tomorrow at midnight - if you want to buy any Raw Crystals on sale, be sure to put in your order before the deadline!


The first Special Raffle for a Pokemon White or Black will be drawn tomorrow at midnight as well. How many Raffle Crystals have you gathered? Have you bought any from other players?

Be advised that all instances of the Raffle Crystal will be eliminated after the drawing, then we start a new week with a new prize!

Please advise what sort of prize you'd enjoy for the next one. I was thinking one of these: $25 Amazon Gift card, Crysis 2, Sims Medieval, or COD Black Ops. What do you think?

After a long silence...

Site Update

Goto News Post

Aywas is back!
So, here's the adventure.

At 12:30 AM we requested a new hard drive - as we were told that Aywas would speed up if we put our MYSQL database on a solid state secondary drive. The drive was installed by 1:00 AM, all looked good, until I turned the site back on and logged in.

Our data had been rolled back to October 2010. O__o

So, yeah, suffice to say that was unacceptable. Around 1:30 AM I requested that our hourly backups be extracted and the most recent database before the downtime be used. From 1:30 AM until now, 9:00 AM... the backups kept failing. And failing. :|

Only about ten minutes ago did a backup FINALLY WORK! And now we have Aywas back, just as it was when we left it - and hopefully faster!

Please tell me if you see a speed increase. That was the point of all this work!

As you so kindly waited along with me in our eight hours of downtime, feel free to request a free common species custom here by submitting a custom image.

It's great to be back!

Downtime

Site Update

Goto News Post

Hi guys,

We're going to be having some scheduled downtime starting from around now for 30-45 minutes. We are getting a second drive, a solid state disc, for our database. If you know what a SSD is, you know it is very sexy.

This is one of our steps in helping to combat lag. When the site comes back up you should hopefully find it faster.

Why don't you go play Felisfire for a while? We released some new cat breeds there today :) If you're not sure what Felisfire is, it's a breedables site where you get six free customs to start out and design markings for and you can breed them.

Okay, between this, LiteSpeed, and our upcoming explore optimization, we are hoping for a zooming fast site!

See you later!

Raffle Game

New Game

Goto News Post

Remember the hourly raffle game we had in V2? It's back...but different!


Crystal Raffle Game


The Crystal Raffle Game lets you collect a raffle ticket in the form of an item -- a Raffle Crystal -- once every hour that could win you a cool prize at the end of the week.

This week's prize is either Pokemon Black or White, since you guys have been talking about it on the forums so much, shipped to your house!

Because Raffle Crystals are items, you can trade, sell, or collect them before the raffle ends to heighten your chance at winning (or someone else's chance). When the raffle is held, a random winner will be selected, then all the Raffle Crystals will be purged from the system for a new week of collecting.

You also get a small bit of BP whenever you collect a Raffle Crystal. Enjoy!

Restart

Site Update

Goto News Post

I'm restarting the server in about five minutes so you might experience 5-10 minutes of downtime. :)

EDIT: Server has been restarted. That minimized load by about 1. If you can log any pages you encounter that take a longer time to load than other pages onsite and report them, that would help us figure out which pages need optimization.

EDIT2: Sorry about that, Yasu was improving the forum search feature. (:
