Site Update
Crystal Check:
Crystal Check is working on the staff end, and we're back on track with the listings that accumulated while we were unable to access the checks!
I'd also like to take the opportunity to remind people that if you get your design checked, please link it in the Notes section - this guarantees your design will be processed faster as it will not need to be re-checked, and helps the queues as a whole move forward at a better rate.
"Grandfathering":
After extensive deliberations amongst staff, it has been decided that we need to change the grandfathering system. This has been hugely debated across two administrations now, and there are a lot of factors to finally pushing forward with this change, including the unreliability of the old forum threads (due to long deleted images, and unclear listings) and the recent changes in modifiers which has lowered the percentage of several design sets.
It has been decided that we will honour old checks by Graymare that originate from the Crystal Check feature, only. Please note that designs I have already accepted during my administration, which were grandfathered, are on record and will still be honoured if a new crystal check is not linked in the Note section - however any that have not gone through myself, or crystal check, will not be.
If you can provide a thread-based check from Skitty, where the image is intact and the response is a clear decision, then I will still be accepting those until July 7th. Please note that at this time we are only accepting them if they are from Skitty, and not one of the helpers. I apologise for this further inconvenience.
We know that this will be distressing to some users as they still have designs or PSDs that are several years old, but as grandfathered sets are an extremely rare occurrence when running the queues I am hoping it won't affect too many people.
Baby Linearts:
For a very long time people have been wanting to see the "original four" hybrids allow edits. After talks we decided there's nothing stopping that - so we will be retiring the Pacifier, and adding the Quetzal, Kyre, Paleo and Griffin to the Baby Bottle trio!
Those of you with Pacifiers, don't despair - in the Annoying Item Bazaar you can trade in your Pacifier for a Metal Baby Bottle, giving you the option to keep it as a collectable, or still make that adorable custom you always wanted!

I'm going with just keeping my Pacifier as a collectible, so good thing I also have a couple of Baby Bottles.

It takes 1 minute for the process - it seems on the back end it says seconds, and in the shop it makes it minutes - it's my fault! I might see if I can adjust it so it's immediate =)

XD This is what I get for buying and hoarding psd uses.
-looks at few GB of them-
Nah I don't even wanna touch them now. XD
Had this happened when those old seasonal designs I bought which no longer qualify for seasonal custom makers. (And not like any artist will entertain recolor for me since bought long ago.) I just try to get the blue custom makers for them or wait for site to do custom games lol. I guess this is part and parcel of the site. We have to learn to accept. -sniffles anyway- XD

Eve (#2775) Is there deadline for when we can swap them via AIB? Or will it be there for awhile?

Grandfathering is - very simplified - having very old PSD's, that has been judged to a percentage in the past that it wouldn't get Today. So essentially you can have something that Today would be silver, but is grandfathered in as blue because of an old check.

Not a mod, but yeah, you can.
