Site Update
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. (:

March Xaoc Contest
Contests
You haven't forgotten about me, have you?
Xaoc owned by TheApostleJudas (#10345), December's winner. Image done by Skitty (#543).
Kicking off the second half of March is our returning Xaoc Contest! This time around you'll have the option of working on a computer or offline, so I hope to see lots of participants. In a sort of extreme monthly pet contest fashion, you'll have two weeks to create the best Xaoc you can that somehow illustrates an aspect of the month of March. Color it, photograph it, sculpt it, then upload it! The grand prize winner will receive a custom Xaoc voucher and four runner ups will get to choose from a prize pot as usual.
Good luck! :3 I hope you guys enjoy this one.

Vion Day!
Pets
March 14th is Vion Day!
To celebrate Vion day, there have been an explosion of Vion colors added to the site -- both from an old thread we had a couple of months ago and the new ones submitted on the Vion Day thread. All together, there are 23 new colorations ... which is going to make this new item super fun!
Random Vion Potion
It works just like the other Random Potions - if you use it, your active pet will turn into a random Vion! These are being awarded as prizes for the Vion Day thread, being given out randomly as an activity prize today, be randomly dropped into the Donation box, and will be used as prizes (alongside some Vion Seeds items) for the event forum games. Yay!
Here are some of the new Vions - look in the Aywapedia for the rest!
Vion Seeds have been given an upgrade - they are now the custom maker for the Vion genus. If you have a non-tangible "vion voucher," feel free to drop an admin a message to have to exchanged for a Vion Seeds.
There are going to be forum games starting throughout the day - check the Events Forum to find games you want to play to win some Vion-related prizes!
Also, don't forget to look through the Vion Day Artwork thread to see all of the beautiful art.
Have fun, and happy Vion Day!

Litespeed...
Site Update
Aywas is going to be upgrading to Litespeed, a server software that's about six times faster than Apache, what we currently have. That should solve a lot of our lag problems, let's hope. ;)
Due to this, we may be going offline for a while. Not sure yet. If you see the site go down, that's why!
EDIT: The transfer is complete. We are having some problems with Google Chrome so if you use Firefox you should not encounter any issues.

Earthquake!
Site Update
There was an earthquake!
Where is it? In real life - and it affected Japan and the neighboring areas. Donate $25.00 or more to any charity of your choice to help Japan and those who were affected, then send the receipt to me via email along with your aywas ID - [email protected] - and you will receive a Fossil Egg.
Here's a few possible places you can donate.
Even if you can't donate the full amount, please try to donate something - if you donate $10 or more, you are eligible for an onsite (virtual item) Kaz Plush. Whatever you do have the ability to donate will help a lot of people, no matter the amount!
