Site Update
QUICK UPDATES
We're getting there. Standing Stones is back online and upload errors throughout the site should be resolved now. If you are still encountering issues uploading files, please let us know
----------
Uploading custom pets should be functional now. We're working on getting the other upload files to work next, such as offspring and PSD files. Thanks for you patience <33
----------
First off, I'd like to apologize that this took so long. The initial software update was completed around noon today, but upon testing the site out we realized there was about three hours of information lost from the database. The backup process started sooner than we plan and the final synchronization did not sync the new information before starting the upgrades. We tried restoring the database from the old disk drive, but that resulted in corrupted information. So instead, we decided to just take the three hours of lost information to the unknown lost information from the corruption. Almost nine hours later, here we are.
The software update was important for Aywas because it not only closed potential vulnerabilities, it will allow us to look to the future of what we can now do for the site with our new software!
We're going to look into what we can do to try and recover the information from that three hour period (10pm - 1am), but in the mean time we decided to just enable the site again in the mean time. You may encounter some errors with the site (many of them being deprecated errors). Just report them to us and I'll work on getting them resolved as soon as I can. In the mean time I am going to try and get the staff together so we can begin discussing where we are going to go from here.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to post them in the comments or PM them to me directly.

MissMally (#473) The pets have to go through the custom queue to be checked just like any other custom. ^ ^ They usually come out withing 24 hours or so (at least they did last year)

i submitted my first custom pet and it accepted it buttt, my concern is that i think it was right before the problem happened. is it possible that the custom's info got lost somewhere in there and that i've also lost my chance at getting that custom? (i'm still quite new to the website so i'm kinda scared of having lost that silver medal for the custom and the info thing)
