We have changed the donation page to give you the option to donate money directly to the staff of Alacrity.
Right now the buttons do not give you the bones/items, but DO provide money to a staff paypal account - there's a hold on it I'm still working through that seems to be preventing the donation redirect from functioning as intended.
If you donate using the staff buttons please submit an issue to the hub and we will manually credit you (with an automatic double bone special) until we can fix this issue.
The parent company donation links are still available if you follow the posted link. We have not been able to fix those buttons - we believe it is an account issue at Paypal and we do not have access to that account. We've made them aware that their donation page hasn't worked in a long time. Hopefully their coder will fix their buttons soon, but as we have no access to that WE ARE NOT PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR THOSE BUTTONS AT THIS TIME. If you use the buttons on that 2nd page to donate you will not receive your bones or items. We are very sorry about this situation but we simply were never given that access.
TL;DR: If you donate to the staff we can give you your bones. If you donate to the parent company you have to take it up with them and we have had no luck with that, so, we do not advise you do that. :)
Just a little update for you guys - the cached dog images are now all fixed. If you have a dog whose thumbnail isn't showing up just visit the dog's profile page to spawn an updated thumbnail
Also, the auctions page now correctly displays dogs that are for sale which match the search terms instead of showing you all the auction dogs that fit the search terms, and then all dog for sale regardless of whether they're what you're looking for.
I just wanted to let you guys know that, as of today, work is going to start on Alacrity. You may start to see changes soon, but also potentially pages may go temporarily down and server latency might occasionally go up as we update.
The biggest change you'll see soon is an update to the TOS, Rules, and Bones Purchasing pages. These changes to the way the site works are required in order to save Alacrity permanently, and will not affect gameplay, but still I want everything to be transparent going forward.
In that vein, I would like to make you all aware of Sam. Sam is a programmer and will be working server-side to make Alacrity into what it should really have been all along. Sam prefers They/Them pronouns and is based in NYS/NYC and I see them very often, so there will be no more games of email tag with coders and the parent company. You bring me a problem, I tell Sam, we fix it.
After Sam does some emergency functional work and general maintenance, Ehm has plans to do a visual revamp of the site, as this layout is 10 years old and wasn't particularly modern to begin with.
We thank you for your patience during these growing pains and look forward to a better site interface with functional features going forward.
I'm excited for this! I was obsessed with Ala back in the day and still checked in now and then for updates so I'm really glad things are moving and hoping for an Ala revitalization ♥
