If you are interested in applying for the Moderator or Site Assistance teams, the deadline for applications will be tomorrow (May 6th), midnight Ala time. That should give you all just over a day to request/fill out the application for the open staff positions.

To get an application, post an issue to the Admins through the Issue Hub, including your ID#s, age, timezone, and which position you'd like an application for.

If you have already requested an application and have not filled it out, those applications must be completed by the aforementioned deadline to be considered..


Thanks, guys!

Hi, Alacrity!

First, just a reminder that the monthly shop turns over tomorrow, so if you want one last crack at the items in there for April 2015, better get in there now.

You guys might've noticed today that your dogs weren't aging.
This was because Larth put a parenthesis in the wrong place... or forgot to put one in the right place... or something. :P It's all fixed now, but it does bring me to something I've wanted to talk to you guys about.
While Carni still remains Site Manager and will continue to champion our needs with our parent company, Larth and I have been handed the reigns to Alacrity - given full access to all major aspects of the site.

We have been pushing for this change for a long time, because, as you might've noticed - the old way *really* wasn't working. Larth and I have been on staff for years. We are here every day. we take pride in our work and strive to do it well - but I'm gonna be honest with you. We're still really new at this.
I promise you. We are going to break things. We are going to forget where the parenthesis goes. But that's okay, because I also promise we will never stop trying to figure it out. Then, as time goes on, we'll break fewer things.

Right now, its going to be a little slow. We have inherited a website that has been neglected for a long time. However, we are getting our feet under us, and the updates are coming. If you want to keep up with some of the great stuff we're doing, Larth has started up a thread for us to keep everyone up to date on the little day-to-day fixes and improvements that maybe don't get their own news posts.

So, that's it, really. I'd just like to thank you guys for sticking with us, and invite you all to weigh in on the changes to come.

Happy Trialing!
~Kit
