*digs self out form under a pile of crystal checks*
Greetings Aywas,
Your (only slightly bedraggled) Customs Pony here to offer some helpful tips, advice, and clarifications. I was planning on putting all of this together nice and neat in my revised Customs Guidelines, but since I've gotten at least two PM's on the same topic, I'll offer it up now, sans frills. You'll have to excuse the less than perfect wording and lack of pretty pictures. :c
All previous Crystal Checks are honoured. This has always been the case (since day one), and remains the case. Doesn't matter if I think your pet is the most Silver thing since sliced bread, if Skitty said it was Bronze, it's Bronze, it'll pass for Bronze from now until forever. If I kick something in error, just toss me a PM with a link to the crystal check, if you didn't get one of those PM me anyways and we'll see what we can do about it.
On the topic of PM's - please feel free to contact me. You are not bothering me, you will not be ignored. On the off-chance you don't get a reply within 24 hours, please poke me again! The only thing I can't give you via PM is a crystal check because it jumps the queue. If it's a Raw or another time limited submission, that'd be okay - those get expedited regardless.
Here's my WIP of the expanded customs rules - I've been writing this for a while, but didn't think anyone would much care to see my rough draft given it's incomplete and only covers areas where previously we have had no posted guidelines. If you'd like to read it anyways, head on over ~myaah!

Birthday Style!
Site Update
I'm here letting you know that there's a special item that will be hanging out in the advent calendar all day on Monday August 26 in Honor of Poedrem's (#126) birthday (which was actually on the 21st, but due to a warp in time, the hair got a little lost on its way to the Advent calendar)! So stop by, dress up, and rock out with this dangerously awesome new hairstyle and don't forget to wish Poe a happy (belated) birthday!

Any medium is acceptable, just make sure it is Aywas related and your name/ID is visible as usual. :3

Lairs are back!
Site Update
Lairs are now back up and running! And this Kaba is certainly happy about it.
You'll now notice that pagination has been added.
In the upper right corner of the lair display, you have the option to view 32 | 64 | 96 | 120 | 240 pets per page.
This option is available in your own lair as well as lairs of other users so that you can view pets according to your personal preference. The default is 32 for easiest load time.
You will no longer experience fatal memory errors, and you should be able to sort any and all pets with ease. :3
We appreciate your patience during the lair downtime necessary to make these changes! My apologies for any inconvenience, though I hope you enjoy the updates.
Please let us know if you encounter any new lair glitches. Thank you!
Update: We're aware of the whole pets-in-my-shop and pets-I-gave-away-long-ago appearing in lair issue and Yasu is working on a fix to remove them. If you can't edit a pet because it's telling you it doesn't exist, it should be because it shouldn't really be in your lair anyway (aka is technically in a shop, stocking, etc.).
I'll let you know when this is taken care of!

Lair Maintenance
Site Update
Just a quick note to let everyone know that lairs are indeed intentionally down for maintenance.
Yasu is hoping to give those mischievous lair errors a swift kick to the behind.
I'll post an update when his changes and fixes have been implemented. :3 We'll get lairs back up for you as soon as we can.
Thanks for bearing with us!

Deer & Wolf Pet Submissions
Site Update
With the power of a Slashbot, Aros (#4353) will be bringing an event all about deer and wolves to an Aywas near you! The event will kick off on her birthday, September 3rd, but we need your help in bringing everything together. If you are interested in contributing pets to this event, click here!
Also! If you are missing any event artist payment, please contact me and I will take care of it as soon as possible for you. By "event artist payment," I'm talking about those of you who had items, HA clothing, pets, etc. accepted for a past Slashbot event. There shouldn't be too many, but I want to ensure I don't inadvertently miss you. :)
I'm finishing up the Slashbot/event guide this weekend, so you should see that early next week.
Please also note if you're waiting on date confirmation for a Slashbot slot, I'll send you a message as soon as I can! I'm in the process of reserving dates and going down the line in order. :3 Thanks!
