*Beep Boop*
Come one, come all, to see the newly reinvigorated Slashbot!
*Beeeeeep Beep*
It has been a long and tiring process but we have got all the springs, nuts and bolts put back where they should be and the Slashbot is fully functioning once more!
That being said, the Slashbot is completely buried under work! While we were cleaning up we discovered there are over 50 Slashbots, Stuffing or Handheld Worlds in queue at this very moment! That is, at the very best, almost 3 years worth of events, species, shops, and whatever else you guys have thought up (We are quite impressed with your creativity)!
For shorthand purposes, We will be referring to any Slashbot Slot, Slashbot Stuffing, or Handheld World simply as "Slot".
To try to prevent this backlog from happening again, Slashbots have had a major revamp. Please see the Knowledge Base Article for the full description.
As of February 11th, 2016, the amount of Slashbot Slots, Stuffing, and Handheld worlds you possess directly influences what you are permitted to do. Some examples of how this will work, taken from the KB Article:
1 Slashbot Slot - Add a new genus, add a new alt line, or a single day event without an adventure zone
2 Slashbot Slots - Save a raw, add a new pet with 5 site colorations, new hybrid, or a small event with custom adventure zone
3 Slashbot slots - New genus with alt lines and 5 site colorations, or a medium event with custom adventure zone
4 Slashbot Slots - Large event with custom adventure zone
These are, obviously, just examples. If you have an idea that is not listed here, or questions, please PM Slashbot (#3) so we can discuss what is needed before you purchase your slots.
This change is not retroactive, so anyone who has already sent a message to Slashbot (#3) will not be affected.
We understand that you guys have been waiting a very long time for your slots to be used, and some of you are not even interested in the slot anymore, or are currently sitting on some Slashbot Stuffing not even sure what to do with it, or may not like the new changes. So we have created a new, temporary solution to try to thin out the ranks.
We would like to introduce you to the
Slashbot Shop!
Due to the extent of the backlog, for one week we are allowing users to break the #1 rule of Slashbots: That they cannot be used for personal gain. The Slashbot Shop will remain open until Friday, February 19th 11:59pm AST, if you would like to turn in your Slashbot, Slashbot Slot, Slashbot Stuffing or Handheld World please read the following very carefully.
Pricing
For shorthand purposes, We will be referring to any Slashbot Slot, Slashbot Stuffing, or Handheld World simply as "Slot".
1 Unqueued Slot is worth 250 slashbot points (Unqueued meaning you have not messaged Slashbot (#3) to begin discussing your request prior to the news post on January 23rd 2016)
1 Queued Slot is worth 350 slashbot points + 2 points per month you have been waiting, the total rounded up to the nearest 5th! (You have already messaged Slashbot (#3))
1 Whole Slashbot can be exchanged for a special Slashbot Reward (see the bottom of the Shop) and 250 points, or exchanged for 2,000 slashbot points, with a limit of 10 of each chosen item.
Please be aware that some of the items in the Slashbot Shop do have either account limits or site wide limits. For the site wide limits it will be first come, first serve.
This offer is available to anyone with a Slashbot, Slashbot Slot, Slashbot Stuffing or Handheld World whose Slashbot has not already had some form of launch.
If you have a Slashbot or Unqueued slot you wish to trade in, please PM Slashbot (#3) with the subject title: Slashbot Exchange. If you have a Queued slot you wish to use, please Bump your PM with Slashbot (#3) and tell us you wish to exchange. We will respond to your PM with further instructions.
If you are exchanging a Slashbot Slot, please be prepared to provide evidence of where you bought the slot, unless we have already contacted you regarding it.
For every slot that you exchange you will be given a free Metal Xentori Flute, and if you exchange three slots you can choose to get a free Blue Xentori Flute instead of three metal flutes.
The Xentori is a unique SCC species, designed by Tooki, that it has Three metal bases, and when you submit a Metal Flute you get to choose which one you want, when you submit a Blue Flute you get to choose which one you edit.
The Metal and Blue Xentori Flutes are also available for purchase in the Slashbot Shop.
If you do wish to keep your currently Queued Slashbot Slots now is the time to please Bump your PM's with us, telling us if you wish to continue with your original ideas or if you have thought of something new. Everyone whose event has not had some sort of release are able to change their ideas if they desire, however if your event has already been approved and you want to change it we will have to re-approve it.
We will be going through the Slashbots as quickly as we can, and we will go in order of who came first, even if your use has to be re-approved.
As we are trying to get the events, features, and other fun stuff rolling, we have discovered we are going to need a lot of different art types! So we have opened up an Application thread for anyone interested in doing random art. Some of the art we will need are items, backgrounds, fauna, clothing, NPC art, etc. So if you are an artist and want to apply for something please post in that thread and as we progress through the queue we may be in contact with you!
Thank you for sticking with us through this, and we hope to get back on track quickly! If you have any questions feel free to PM us on Slashbot (#3) or post in the news comments and we will attempt to get back to you quickly!
For future reference, all Slashbot News titles will begin with Bot: so they will be easily searchable!
Please make sure to check out the post below about the new Predict Caps!

Will slots still occasionally have user submission events of pet colourings, items and HA clothing, or is that all changed, so it's now done from users sending examples to the Application thread?
Also, yay! Slashbot updates. :)

Well, if that is what it means than you might want to consider editing the shop listing's #66, lol. because I pretty much quoted it exactly above and it doesn't mention the word genus. ^^; it says you can get a 50% edited custom of every future /custom/ on the site. Replace the second 'custom' w/ genus then and that would fix it, perhaps? Sorry to be nit picking ; -; I think it might help non-native English speakers at least to change it idk. Or people might think it means something more "uniquely different" idk. It took me a few minutes before going "oooOoooh, I think I know what they are talking about" myself and I'm a native Englisher... I said in my best English lmao. Sorry to bother if you think it is fine as is though ; -;

Gwennafran (#22320) We will still be creating threads, the application post is mostly for when users do not want to have the thread or if we need something uncommon. So we have a spot to go to look for artists, and we don't need to put out a calling and wait every time :D
Drunken Love (#64472) Isn't it funny that we have had probably a dozen people proof read and we still miss little things like that? We are getting it changed now!

~KrimsonCreature (#55438) If you are talking the Slashbot Pieces: https://www.aywas.com/item_database/details/11519/ Those unfortunately are just a fun collectible item from a previous years April Fools Day event.
