Hi guys! It's me, Crystal! Your friendly neighborhood friendo who stans way too many artists!
Anyways I have a small announcement to make, as many know @Ibby is currently on vacation until the beginning of September, with that said for the time being (until September) we will be halting the hosting of new badge voting events to give our badge staff a weee bit of a break. Album badges and drama badges can continue as they are just single badge petitions and uploads usually but themed badges will pause for the the month of August. We are working on some backend things as well which we need some time to work out. I appreciate everyone's constant participation in the new processes we have been implementing to make badge submissions go smoother.
I would also like to note that for the time being fandom colors will no longer be an option to add for petitions. We have nearly every color you can think of now, and although this might change in the future we shall not be accepting new fandom color submissions for now.
As usual thank you for your understanding and enjoy your akorn weekend! 
Everyone needs a vacation, rest and time for themselves. We've been having a hard time getting feedback 
Maybe we should have this announcement cover that too, but I am hoping I can get everything going again in August... so diff date
