The front page is the first page of this very thread! They're the "colored in" ones under the main cover. Hiraeth + hound recently posted a nonowners adopt, which would be a good thing to try for if you want to get your first! nvn

I have a MYO whose official image has some accidental stray dots coming from the lines, would I need admin approval to remove them? I wouldn't change the lines any other way

?

So I had a question.

I'm not very good with oekaki and I use a tablet so I can't really download the Blank png format
And with the new rule applying.

I know my chances are slim with this question but I was wondering would it be ok to just screenshot the image and try to trace as much as I can accurately. I promise I would only use it to create MYO design when I get enough HMs and I wouldn't claim the lines as my own as well as post them on other sites.
and I would tell you guys of the edit I used on the design.

It's basically the only why I could really make designs so I thought I should ask.

Unfortunately we can't exclude any one user from the rules or make an exception. What sort of art program are you using on your tablet, often times there is still a way to upload a layered file or other ways of still keeping the original lines.

[nermal1999]

I understand. I'm really sorry if I came across as asking for special privileges.

The why I do my art isn't really done on a program as it's more of a free app I downloaded from the Google play store. It's probably not the best art app out there but I'm able to make good art on it.

Sadly it doesn't work with files it can only upload images so if there was a way I could get the whole lines in one blank png image then that would work. But it's not a big deal my sister offered to help with her computer when I need it.

Thank you for your time and help

Alright guys buckle up, we've got a lot to cover in this announcement !!
If you ever loose track of an announcement please remember we also have an Announcements Thread to keep everything easy to follow.

new breeding/growth cooldowns
As of Janurary 1st Kalons will be implementing a new cooldown on both breedings and growths. Currently both are set at 3 weeks, come Janurary 1st this will be upped to a full month. This new cooldown will be counted by the day so if you get a breeding on March 3rd you can not breed again until April 3rd. For these purposes if a month has 31 days the 30th and 31st will be counted as the same day. [ie you get a breeding on October 31st you can breed again on November 30th]. January 29th-31st will be counted at the 28th for Feburary's cooldown.
All cooldowns by Kalon standards will always go by CS rollover, regardless of what time zone you are in. This is to keep things organized and easy to keep track of.

item involvement in breedings
Going forward from this post if you are involved in a breeding in any way [including if you just supply an item and do not have a Kalon in the breeding] you will be subject to breeding cooldown. Previously we had went by the rule that if you used an item in a breeding and there was a discrepency Kalon staff would not step in, this new rule is to keep everyone protected in the breeding. If you are supplying an item for a breeding this means you are guranteed a kit from the litter [unless you state otherwise], please be sure to discuss with your partner[s] before hand about kit selection to minimize disputes.

pm/dm readopts/raffles
Latey we have been seeing this a lot more so this is just a reminder. Kalons do not allow private readoptions anymore. All competitions must be hosted publically with all forms submitted where everyone can see them. If you have any questions about this please let us know. This is to help keep all judging requirements fair and CS compliant.

kalon bank accuracy
If you have any items in the Kalon bank or purchase/trade/get gifted/use items and recieve confirmation from a staff member that it has been reflected in the bank please be sure to look it over yourself. While we try our hardest in the end it is your responsability to contact a staff member about missing or extra items in your bank. There are only roughly 30 of us trying to keep up with almost 700 bank entries. If you are caught trying to use items you no longer own and it can be proven by staff you risk getting a strike. Please be sure to periodically check your bank for accurancy and let a staff member know if something seems off.

off-oekaki links
This is just another reminder! Lately we've had a good bit of issue with off-oekaki Kalon references disappearing or getting deleted, this causes a lot of trouble both for community members and staff. Please be aware that we only allow imgur and discord links for all off-oekaki references at this time.

breeding off oekaki kalons
From this post on if you are breeding a Kalon that has an off-oekaki reference please be advised that we will require you to link both the reference and the post on the off-oekaki thread in order for your ticket to be deemed valid.

new staff
Last but not least we have a new staff member and a couple old staff members returning !!
Please give a warm [re]welcome to Illu [nursery], cosmosfox [main adopts], saturnus [nursery]
That being said we are still going through votes for the last round of guest artists and mod apps are still being looked over so keep an eye out for more staff announcements <3
