Hello everyone! Hope your June has been going well. Posting this a bit early as I will be afk soon ^^
This month has been a little bit messy, so thank you for your patience as we sort through things! :)

As we head into July, I have a few important announcements to make. 

Admin Break

As some of you may have noticed, the site has undergone a few changes since last month!
This was caused by a mishap as we were updating to the latest version of PHP.
We are still working on bringing the site back in order! Unfortunately, I will be out of town until July 5.
When I return, I'll get back to work~

In the meantime, approvals and responses will be slow.
If you spot any bugs, please report them on site too! ^^

Event: Seashell Summer

Summer isn't over yet! It's been truly so lovely seeing everyone's submissions so far <3
I've updated the bulletin board with new, user-submitted prompts, so please check them out!

The event shop also has new treats available... yum!
A new selection of cool drinks! Which will you order?

Bulletin Board prompts will be cycled out throughout July & August.
Need an incentive to start these new prompts?
Earn a bonus "Helper TIcket" for completing user-submitted prompts!

These helper tickets can be traded in for a raffle ticket.
Or, combine three of them for a random summer prize! 

Want YOUR ad on the bulletin board?
You can still submit bulletin board listings here!

I'd also like to invite everyone to add a baobear to our discord server banner!
Visit the seashell summer thread in our discord server for more info & earn some seashells while you're at it!

lets have more fun in the sun!

This month, we've raised over $700 for both the Marine Conservation Society and Amazon Watch!
Thank you so much everyone! I hope to do more charity sales in the future.
