Site Update
I want to take a moment to thank everyone posting in our Think Tank and announce that we have already decided to implement a few of these! First up, we are going to hold a Special Artist Event!. Some of our older members may remember these, however with the commission panel being added they were no longer necessary as users could hire their artists for cash there. Instead, this event will temporarily remove the predict cap entirely!
Starting right now, artists have until February 27th to accept as many prediction commissions as they feel they can complete within one month. The USD commissions must go through the Commission Panel! All information must be handled in the artists thread and all commissions must be completed by March 27th, 2017. Please see this thread for detailed rules and information! And visit the Predict Event 2017 Board! for who is participating!
The Derpy Dragon and Tiny Silver Potion have both found their way into the USD shop as requested! At this point they are permanent members, as we are hoping to be able to stimulate the SCC market a bit!
We have created a new Platinum Custom Crystal! This crystal is similar to the Silver Custom Crystal, however it does not work with the Silver Custom Panel. This means you will have to provide the the art yourself or hire another artist to do it for you. This crystal is cheaper than the Silver Custom Crystal, and can be found in the GP and USD Shop. It may eventually be removed from one of the shops in the future.
The results of the Save a Raw poll are in! We are happy to announce the winner:
The Horuset is being moved to the ranks of Uncommon Ara! These birdsnakes can now be created with Flaming Orbs!
Because it has been so long and we have so many raws, we have also saved two more raws! The Tavi can now be found under Uncommon Ay, and the Heggal is now a Common Ay species!
We are making a few adjustments to the way users and staff interact. We have received an influx of behavior in crystal checks and customs, that if a user would do to another user they would receive a warning. Due to this, we are going to start moderating these actions and users will receive punishment for when staff is involved, as well. If you repeatedly disrespect and abuse staff, you may receive a warning as well as a temporary customs ban.
This ban is one month in length and means that you cannot submit Crystal Checks, Repository PSDs, or custom designs. Any attempts to do so will lengthen the ban, as will using friends to circumvent it. Anyone found to be aiding a customs banned user in using the custom system will also receive the ban.
This is an unfortunate move that we're having to make, and we hope that this is not something we will have to institute on other features on the site.
One more bit of information, the poll! There has been talk for a Teo Pen, similar to the Fox Pen, that will allow 10% edits for a Gen 1 Teo. Staff is entirely divided on this, so we thought it would be best to ask everyone elses opinion! Please feel free to comment below! The pen would be for USD to help keep them limited and only allow 10% edits.

I agree with tae that it should be a snoodle pen instead of a teo pen, as so many teos are 2+gen and already have a great variety of edits

Great news on the predict caps... is this for everything? And every currency (usd/gp/bp)?
Super excited about the new pets <3
Still think TSP is priced too high, at 1:2 ratio, it's still pretty much on par with normal SP and exactly where it's priced now. I'll live tho.
Hope all these changes help out the site :D

🎄 Anailaigh 🎄 (#72649) Coins get assigned in the order they were submitted, it has nothing to do with addons used on the breeding. Right now the breeding status page says they were working on breedings for BCs that were submitted in June. So once those are done the people who then submitted after that in June then July would get assigned.
I think the RBC back up is because a lot had to go back to be fixed (I know I have 5 right now that are going on 50 days assigned because the babies had to be fixed) and we are entering the submission dates of the event, which means that there are more coins in the queue than there usually would be, so will take longer to process them.

I misread the part on the teo pen, the nap-effect is still in play. xD The Teo pen actually sounds really nice. The only real conflict I could see is with the uniques from the sets. On one hand, being USD and potentially limited, someone would really have to want to edit their Gen1. On the other, there's a possibility those who bought a unique may see it as unfair? (They could also edit theirs, I assume?)
Also, I'm so happy the Tavi and Heggal are now site pets. I like the Horuset, but I was more excited at the editing possibilities for these guys. :D

considering before that all the "Uniques" for teos only allowed 10%, it would make those original teos that were under that 10% difference sorta..not worth it anymore. But if its to help the site, then I suppose that'll be fine in the long run.
Good to hear that three of the pets from the Raw crystal have moved over, considering a lot of people wanted those two as well <3

I think if yes wins maybe another poll on rarity?
I do think it's a little stinky due to people paying for uniques but the site changes things all the time so it's ok by me. I've learned not to assume things will stay unique and now it's more fun :) rare or not edited twos sound fun. But...rarer would be better and keep it more valuable which is good for the site

Because of uniques, I think Teo Pens should probably be pretty expensive, even though I know I'd personally love to have them easily available. I do want things to be fair for users who spent a fortune already. (I voted yes above, for context)
Also a little worried that newbies will be confused by SCCs being 'worse' than PCCs. Also, are SCCs going to cost more? They're currently about as affordable as PCCs--not much savings getting the PCC version at the moment.

BOTH the Horuset AND the Heggal?? Woohoo!!!! Um, I'm a little happy :-D
As for the Teo Pen thing, I'm a little indifferent but that's only cause I'm not an artist. Not really sure how I should vote. But, I went ahead and voted with the last choice. And that's my comment!
