Site Update
So, before I die of sleep exhaustion, I have a few breeding system changes to introduce you to.
If you click on the Standing Stones tab, you'll notice that it got a minor makeover. Most important is the Breeding Requests area.
Here, you can see all of your breedings from oldest to newest. More important, though, you can click on Review Breeding.
If you click on Review Breeding, you will be taken to a page where you can submit breeding predicts for the breeding admins to review and accept or reject. If it's a Breeding Coin, Breeding Pendant, Holiday Breeding Coin, or Egg Nog, you must pay the feature a BC Candy to upload a max of four predicts. If it's any other coin, you can upload a max of four predicts for free. A breeding admin will select an appropriate amount of offsprings from your predicts to send to you as eggs.
You can submit predicts for any breeding, including ones that have been sitting there for a while. And you know what makes submitting predictions the best?
If you are using a coin that does not require a BC Candy, and if you submit predicts and your predicts are accepted, you will receive a kick-back of 3 GP as a thank you from the breeding team for using predicts. If you are using a BP Shop coin, such as the MBC, MBP, Derp BC, or HLBC, you will receive a kick-back of 300,000 BP as a thank you from the breeding team for using predicts.
So, if you could use the new integrated method instead of the thread, that would be best. If your predictions are deemed unsatisfactory, they will be rejected by a breeding admin with a note on how to fix them. Feel free to submit until they are acceptable.
While you don't see this next part, the breeding panel was also issued a major overhaul making it much smoother to administrate breedings. Hopefully they will go faster now.

That is pretty darn cool! An incentive to give predicts to lighten the load, and a place to see which breedings we've submitted without having to keep track ourselves! (...not that I have more than one, but I'm sure others have to have lists!)

@Frey:
No, like I said, you could make breeding coins that didn't require the predicts. Kind of like the system we have going with the customs, but more artist integrated. The team would still be required for the coins that are made for site artists to produce breedings.
It was just a suggestion, considering your team seems to be backed up as far enough to completely remove one of the breeding coins from the site. Think if the half a lesser breeding coin required predicts? You would never have had to remove it. just an idea.

We have been considering making HaLBCs predict only, there is a suggestion on the Suggestions forum already for it. That's the only coin I'd ever ponder making predicts-only for though. Otherwise I just don't see the need. The queue isn't that insanely backed up anywhere else (aside from eggnog, but that's seasonal and someday won't even be in queue).

That's true. The news posts kind of make it sound like it's more hectic than it seems then... After the HaLBCs have been removed, don't you think people will resort to the other coins now? It might add more to queue... But only time can tell on that. The others are more expensive after all, so maybe not. P:

Thanks! It is so nice being able to see what breedings we're submitted that are still in the que :)

I like that myself. Way cool to be able to see progress.
But it claims I used a Fertility Potion on a Derp coin <

I only have one breeding, and its status says "In progress". Does that mean that the breeding has been assigned and the artist is currently working on it?

Send in the PSD files of the offspring that you yourself end up hatching, and yes, for now, continue to send in PSDs for the babies. Still working out some glitches in the panel and I'll require it til further notice.
And no, we're not going to make all breedings predict-required... that sorta would eliminate the need for my team, don't you think?
