Site Update
To be safe, please do not submit any new breedings right now.
I was asleep when the reports about errored breedings started rolling in, but I'm obviously up now and Yasu and I are working on this as we speak (the problem has already been found). We will give you an update as soon as we can!

Here's a couple site status updates for you!
Yasu and I have been working fiercely to try and remedy the little blips that have popped up since the server move, so here's some information for you. :3
- Daily games like Grave Robber have been reset. Please let us know if you have any problems playing them tomorrow!
- There are four high score tables that still need to have their crons run and scores reset. The good news is that Yasu believes he discovered the problem and will be able to move forward with a solution.
- The art gallery is a little borked at the moment, so I can't run the results just yet, but will as soon as possible.
- Explore is currently disabled to help isolate some of the lag issues.
- However, you should be noticing a remarkable improvement in site speed compared to how Aywas was moving over the weekend! Slash was in touch with the server company about a memcache issue, which seems to have been remedied. However, we are still experiencing a memory allocation problem (if you get a text error with lots of numbers yelling at you about memory needed, that's what it is--but don't fret, a refresh should get the page to work). We are waiting on a response from the server company on that front.
- Lairs should be loading a bit better for you because Yasu was able to slim down the queries that they produce. Being able to view your lairs properly will be a huge focus for us this week. We plan on having them reprogrammed so that they load better and incorporate many of your suggestions. :)
Thanks for being such diligent reporters and cooperative compadres!

Phantos, Reves, and Soli's - Oooohhh mmmyy
Pets
I have a crazy migraine right now. |: *chugs Tylenol*
But in the middle of every migraine is a ray of sunshine!
Which is called explore pets.
Ohhhh explore pets~
I don't really even know if that made sense, but here they are:
Next week's bonus explore pets are the Vyne, Rogr, and Lacer!
If you color one of the above species and have it accepted, you'll receive 10 GP per coloration accepted instead of the normal 3GP!
If you want to design some, go and post them in their respective threads here!
Be sure to get any of the current Little Pet Shop of Horrors pets you want before July comes! They will be leaving the shop come July.

High Scores
Site Update
We ran the crons for the May games about an hour ago.
Please go to this thread to report how they went! (Yes, this means if you got the correct prize, tell us!)
If you received a prize for a game you did not participate in, or know you were not in trophy standings, please report it.
If you feel you are missing prizes, please report that as well!
If there are any games that did not get their scores reset but should have, let me know there too.
I need to give Yasu as much accurate information as I can, so I appreciate your help with this. :3
This is only for the May games.
April prizes will be awarded manually from the information that we have.

Free Monthly Customs!
Contests
It's time to give away nine free customs designed during May under the theme Amusement Parks.
We have some really fun, unique pets up for grabs here!
To play the free custom game, please include the phrase "CUSTOM #__" in your news comment. For example, if you want Custom 1, please comment "CUSTOM #1."
CUSTOM 1, #1, CUSTOM1, CUSTOM#1 = do not count as votes.
You don't have to capitalize the word, but you do have to include the exact phrase Custom #_ in your comment. It's fine if you have other content in your comment, but that particular phrase is not something you want to tinker with, because if you do, your post will be excluded when I run the script for winners. I see people posting incorrectly quite a bit, so I wanted to take a moment to clarify this. :3
Now, onto the pretties!
1................................................2................................................3
4................................................5................................................6
7................................................8................................................9
Please contact Visark (185) for your prize if you designed one of these customs!
You have until Monday June 4th at 11:59 PM to choose!

Welcome to June!
Site Update
June is finally here!
Embracing the transition between spring and summer, we have a new batch of GP Shop pets hungry for your sunny, shiny gold paws!
And bursting through the BP Shop doors are these nine June-themed beauties--all hoping to splash in your blue paws!
If you colored one of these stunning pets, please contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
Made from rare pink pearls, this opulent potion is the Essence of June 2012.
It will randomly change your active pet into one of the colors above and can be found in the GP Shop! :3 Enjoy.
Floating down from the newly-turned June sky is our latest monthly Lunaris in the Chinese Zodiac collection--the Horse!
The premium monthly item is this seasonal Light Bloom Wardrobe, which contains a quaint HA set perfect for attending June weddings or afternoon tea gatherings! Here's a little preview:
The above HA is wearing the bonnet, dress, sash, slippers and tights, but there are many more pieces in this collection! It also contains a tie, shoes, a shirt, slacks, a jacket, hat and gloves. :)
Being custom-shipped to our premium users, you might notice that the wardrobe will be a little fashionably late to your home. Read: Yasu needs to reset the monthly item clock for me before you can collect the item. I will let you know when you can successfully collect it.
A new set of monthly contests has been posted!
July Monthly Pets - BP Shop
July Monthly Pets - GP Shop
July Monthly Customs - Beach Theme
Thanks for being so cooperative and helpful through the rocky aftermath of our server move!
We will be tinkering around with the problems that have arisen and making the necessary adjustments for optimal performance, so I will try to keep you in the loop. This month we will be continuing our trend of focusing on old fixes, revamps and backlogged contest results--hopefully without interruption. XD
The high score tables will be one of our biggest tackle areas this month. We know that the crons did not successfully run last month and will be manually awarding prizes based on the information we have. The crons did not run yesterday/today either, so as soon as I can catch Yasu, he will manually execute them and then be able to reset the games for a fresh start. I will make a separate post on this issue, but I did want to touch on it here since it's on a monthly cycle.
Free monthly customs and other contest results soon to come! :3

Custom Rules Updates + Looking for Assistants!
Rules
Hey guys! Skitty, your (un)lovable Custom Admin here to bring you some updates.
First of all, we have a shiny new Custom Rules thread! I'd highly, HIGHLY encourage all of you to read it. No, really--READ IT. It's full of useful information on weirder custom items, more obscure rules, and clarification on some stuff that was previously ambiguous. GO. READ IT. RIGHT NOW.
Second, there have been some changes to the way the Crystal Thread is being handled. We have a new "What color crystal do I use?" thread--that wouldn't be worth a news post in itself, but I've added some extra rules and guidelines for getting your image checked. Make sure you follow them when you get your designs checked to minimize the strain on me and the wait time for you (as well as your fellow users!)
Additionally, we have the brand new Custom Updates thread. An update will be posted there whenever the Crystal Thread is checked by a custom thread moderator. The goal here is to make it so that users can easily track whether their post has been answered or not without needing to stalk or subscribe to the Crystal Thread itself. Useful, yes?
Finally, I'm looking to hire some assistants. Here's the application--fill it out and PM it to me (#543) if you're interested in helping out.
