Site Re-Opening
Posted 2 months ago :: Last edited 2 months ago by MarsIs it still early October? No? Ah, well… early enough!
Thanks so much for your patience! We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve officially re-launched the species after months of hard work behind the scenes! Huge shoutout to our amazing moderators for getting all the site features ready before launch. It wasn’t an easy task, and Mars might just go cry and eat ice cream in her hermit hole now, but we did it! The site is fully up and excited to welcome new members!
Quick Note: Beta Phase
What does this mean?
We’re still in the Beta Phase, so while the site is live, you might notice some bugs and CSS quirks while browsing. We’re also still working on adding art, lore, and more content. Some core features, like Breedings, Shops, and Categories, might be missing or need a bit more polish. That’s totally okay! We’re on it and will announce when everything’s finalized.
We’ve got plenty more features planned, so keep an eye out for announcements about those as they roll out. One of the next things coming is Dev Logs, a special News Post section for updates on our website development.
Quick Note: Promotions
We’re thrilled to announce that, thanks to their hard work on the site, we’ve promoted our Masterlist Archaeologists and Poets to full-time, permanent Senior Moderators! Additionally, one of our Masterlist Archaeologists, Seal, has been promoted to Owner. This decision was made collectively by the three owners—Mars, Andro, and Golden—recognizing Seal's unwavering dedication and commitment to the species over the years. We’re excited to have her on board as an owner and can’t wait to see what new ideas we can bring to you!
As for moderation positions, we’ll be re-opening applications soon, but not just yet. Our community is still small, and we believe it’s best to keep moderation manageable for now. However, as we grow and expand our community, we plan to open up positions for Junior Moderators in the near future. We kindly ask that you hold off on inquiring about these positions, but rest assured that opportunities will arise for everyone soon!
Quick Note: FTO Basket Eligibility
Anyone can claim the First-Time Owner basket found in the Shop even if you have characters attached to your account-- we are considering this a completely fresh new start because we have vastly changed the design rules for Furarriums!
Thanks again for your support, and we encourage you to explore the new features we’ve added this time around while staying tuned for more exciting updates in the future!
What’s New?
Idols, Archeons, and Primals!
We have decided to move away from being a feral-only closed species and are now allowing humanoid and anthromorphs forms as stand-alone characters. You can read up about them in the Design Guide!
Monthly Prompts!
We will host a new monthly prompt at the beginning of each month: but for now, we will skip over an October prompt due to how late it is! Keep an eye peeled for an announcement on November 1st!
Dailies!
Want to start building up your stash of seeds? Check out the Dailies, where you can test your luck to get a randomized amount of seeds or maybe even some rare items!
Incoming! We have some fun new events!
Site Opening Raffle!
Seal has designed a lovely raffle design for our site opening! Take a look at the cutie here. You can enter by grabbing a Raffle Ticket from the Shop for free, but you can also earn more tickets through some other options!
Sharing a post about our species through Toyhou.se, Twitter, Bluesky, or Instagram and commenting here with proof so a staff member can grant one to you.
Getting a successful referral-- make sure they list you under the registration page!
Drawing some art of the raffle design and submitting it here! (Please note you can only earn one extra ticket from this, and multiple pieces will only count as one).
It is important to note that when you get the Raffle Ticket Item, you MUST open it to redeem the raffle ticket. If you’re unsure whether your raffle ticket went through, you can check yourself through the Raffles page!
Trick or Sweets Scavenger Hunt!
To commemorate the site opening and celebrate Halloween, we’ve hidden plenty of delicious candy all over the site! As you catch up on our rules and new features, keep an eye peeled for these goodies, because they’ll each hold a hidden surprise!
Or, you can access the Scavenger Hunt directly through here.
Happy Hunting!
Quick Event Rules!
All candy will be hidden ON-SITE. This can be in character masterlist, user pages, or regular pages, but all of them are accessible THROUGH THE SITE and the site alone!
You can enter any raffles you find through the treats-- but you can only enter once for each respective raffle!
We’d like to keep the scavenger hunt fair and fun for everyone-- so please do NOT reveal where the candies are hidden!
We can see if you are creating multiple accounts-- we cannot find your direct location, but we CAN see if multiple accounts are logging into the same IP address. If you are caught abusing our referral bonus, you will be barred from entering in the raffle and potentially given a mark against your account. Do not attempt to abuse the referral system or events by creating alternative accounts.
