I've closed the pet/icons part of the shop to avoid new purchases. This is to avoid having even more pets to restore after we upgrade the forum version.
The problem is that the creator of the shop system did some changes that make it hard/impossible to carry over pets from the current version of the shop system to the latest version, and by upgrading the core forum software we also need to upgrade the shop. So there's a good chance all pets will be lost after the upgrade.
Any events going on that need pets just keep a record of the winners and have the icons ready for after the upgrade. Priority will be to restoring existing pets and the new ones for prizes will be taken care of after that.
You won't need to take screenshots of your pets, I'll be running a copy of nation from pre-upgrade for staff to be able to check who had what.
There's no set date for the upgrade but I hope to do it as soon as I can, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I'll post about it when I'm closer to doing it.

What will upgrading do again? - I can only remember an arcade at this moment :what:
And also, will this include the wiping of so many Private Messages from the database?

I wish you luck on updating, and thank you for closing the shop :onionru:

Upgrading mostly just gets us up to date with the software, kind of like updating your Windows operating system to fix bugs and stuff. There might be more features too but I haven't looked at it yet. It's also going to let us get the more updated version of things like arcades and other add-ons that aren't compatible right now.

Nope D:
Figure if I have the update ready to go I might actually work on a theme. I'll probably stick to this one and make whatever changes are needed though.
New theme will come later with other plans.

i'll miss my sheep, though. ;_;
Although, one thing...when the Shop comes back, will you put limited-edition pets back on sale? Namely the Vindi ones. ;_;

Couldn't you make some kind of script (or mysql command) to replace the values with the updated ones?

Hoo boy, looks like it'll take some time to fetch the 1k badge, and my WTP? pogeys.

Event badges would probably be the most annoying to fetch. Oh, can we ask to not get a certain pet? I took this falcon by accident lol.
