Rest in peace momma.
Your memory shall never fade away,
I miss you every day.
My love for you can never be replaced,
by anything of this Earth or any place.
So please rest in peace,
Smile as you look down and be at ease.
My tears will fall,
It hurts worst of all.
Knowing that I cannot hear,
"I love you dear."

I'm happy to announce; we have finally removed slots!
I've been wanting to for a while, but wanted the new artists to fall into the artist processes before permitting the same unbridled influxes we'd been occasionally experiencing before.
Slots still sort of "exist", as you might see on the first post of the thread, but in a much different way than before; an ongoing queue system will feed into them. If a user comments when the slots are full, their submission will be added to this Queue onto the end that is synonymous with those most recent; then when a slot opens up on the top of the thread, the oldest post in the Queue will be put into the slots to await claim by an artist. This ensures that only the older posts are accepted before the newer ones--to prevent unfair wait times--and records the submissions by age, which before, there was poor practice in recording. At the same time, it prevents artists from being over-exerted by the large list awaiting completion by narrowing it down to only those who have waited the longest.
Most importantly, it removes that confusing race-for-the-slots attitude that had been sort of wordlessly enforced before, permitting ongoing activity. You no longer have to stalk the thread like a hawk to grab an open slot--however, once submitting your breeding you may have to wait slightly longer than before due to the list being allowed to expand.
(ways of bypassing this may open in the future, if fair and efficient methods of doing so are possible, and if such an opportunity ever becomes in demand)
EDIT: Also, forgot to add, a new rule has been added. A single user can have no more than 1 incomplete submission up at a time. This means whether it is on queue, unaccepted, or accepted, a user cannot have 2 or more submissions.

This is a great idea! But I have one question. Do we have to repost our forms to then get a slot?
I posted recently here when slots were closed (because I didn't understand how it worked then) and of course it didn't count. So will I have to quote it and then post again to get onto the waiting list or will those sort of forms be looked at again?
Thank you for any help!!
no longer active, please check out my other social medias tho !! <3

Yea, they'll have to be posted again.
I recorded the very most recent two that were posted, but it would be too confusing and just take a long time to have to go through pretty much every post the past 8 pages, picking out which ones were completed and which ones had to be skipped.
