The Information Desk: Ask questions about the site here!

It's actually something old that we got rid of years ago but has resurfaced after our update last night. It will be removed soon.

are we allowed to know what all got updated or is it not important/will b revealed next direct?

Going out on a limb and guessing overall it's not terribly important front end wise, more security and back end stuff. I think anyways.

Tom's right. We're not even informed of the details as it's nothing significant. We just got a text message from Jeremy a few minutes beforehand to tell us he was taking it down for maintenance.

Yeah, most likely patching those security vulnerabilities and perhaps making sure the site stays running smoothly. As far as I'm aware this site uses a whole bunch of various stuff so it's important to keep it all up-to-date as so many things could have problems that need patching. :p

I'm interested to know how/where it's being hosted as with some hosting companies such as Hostmonster (please don't use them - they have very hazy limitations and are sluggish) everything is taken care of whereas with DigitalOcean you have to take care of all the Linux updates and such yourself.

If anyone is interested in DigitalOcean then get in touch and I'll give you a referral code for a free $10 (I forget what it is - something like that) and one-on-one advice on how to use it and such. The cheapest price is $5/month or $0.007/hour and with that you get 20GB SSD storage, 512MB RAM, 1 CPU core and 1TB bandwidth, which is enough for most people.

Why is the user title sold out and most of the Envelopes? And what are they used for? Are they just for sending gifts?

User Title Change is sold out because you can change it for free by clicking "Edit Profile" in your Settings. Envelopes allowed you to PM multiple people at a time, but it's kinda useless seeing as PMing individually isn't difficult.

The User Title change is sold out because you can simply change it from your Settings now. I've never purchased the envelopes, but I believe they let you send the same message to x amount of users depending on how many you get.
 
Yoooo I have too many rules loopholes to ask about but this one is more important, so--

I've been seeing an increasing number of RLC art shops lately, TBT-accepting and RLC only. Aaaaaaand that's awesome, I may think about making one, once I'm done rediscovering myself in an artistic sense.

Except....

...that is a thing.

So, do art services not count as services...? Or is it only talking about services within Animal Crossing, like gardening and landscaping? Cause I've looked around on the guidelines and in the Museum Shop, there doesn't seem to be anything about an exception clause to the rule about art shops...

I hope I'm not inadvertently ratting people out, I'm just genuinely interested in having an income, really Q.Q
 
They still have that loophole? Wow man, well I guess it means you can't trade a teapot for Marshal or stuff I guess? But yeah you can't offer to, like landscape someone's town for RLC afaik.

That rule was indeed created with the intention of Animal Crossing activities. In regards to real money art shops, essentially we don't explicitly allow or disallow them. Surprisingly, they've caused us very little hassle so unless that changes, they'll probably remain allowed for the time being. Of course it's all subject to change as we've never implemented any specific rules on them, so be aware we could do so at any time!

Fair enough, I mean art is actually something you do yourself and not just taking advantage off to drive up pixel prices or use game services/codes for so i can see people willing to pay real money for it. But yeah unless people start sending like real-life wares for it in a large mass in public, I def. see where you are coming from :p
