30k

Wow guys.. just saw today that our traffic was 32,949 today. That's the third day in a row that we've topped our previous highest records. Awesome! I'm so happy to see visitors and hearing all the positive feed back with the recent changes. All that just makes the owning/operating of YAL worthwhile.

Lina and I will still strive to do our damnedest to keep this place the best that it can be, but I'd just like to thank you guys all for hanging out with us, offering feedback, and sharing the word about us.

<3 you all

Premature Release

Well I had not even had the new Yiff Room open for more than a day before I started spotting areas that vastly needed more work, so the past couple of nights I've been throwing in a few changes but as of today I think all is happy and fine in my little Tori world.

First off the middle upstairs room just ... eh felt a little like I just stuffed it with items and said done. So I reworked it into being a small gym like room and brought back some old toys from our Subway days and a little more new ones. As of this morning two more toys where added in and it feels more complete and suitable for a home gym. 

(not seen in picture is a lounge chair and bed)


One other room upstairs also just felt kind of loosely thrown together with no thought, which was one with the canopy bed, rug, and what not. This was just an easy fix of rearranging the furniture and making a few swaps. Nothing too major but it feels much more put together now, or at least to me :P



Other changes have also been made to the pool area. While at first it was just going to be a visual there were many curious furs sneaking out to it. So I have made an entrance to it from the lower floor and have added more toys out there for some good wet fun. There is a mixture of solo items and couple ones out there.



Lina and I are quiet proud of these recent changes, and we hope that you all are enjoying them as well. Let us know what you think! We're always open to hear back from our visitors.

Le New Yiff Room

Alright folks, while the voting was minimal at best, the "majority" of votes went to yes for a total resign of the Yiff Room. And that's we did!


We're proud to have to open up the Yiff Room again to this new and grander design. With this new design there is a lot more floor space and usable room in which we did take advantage of. The new building in itself is a lot bigger than our dome of love was allowing for us to pack in more features that we other wise just could not have in the old structure. We now have a kitchen, hot tub, more beds, more seating, and hopefully more yiffing.

While I did fall in love with the old building, I just didn't put too much thought into when it comes to what should be needed for a good yiff room. It was a fantastic building and a very spur the moment purchase for me, but just not conducive to the intent of this room. For those of you liked the old build, I hope you will come to like this one as much. 

Anyways, enjoy and happy yiffs.

Revisions

Well one obvious revision you don't have to look to far to see is that the blog has changed! I've just been working on the image of the blog some today after making some other other revisions to things. Hopefully this a little more eye pleasing with a better ease of following the information and what not.

Other revisions I wish to speak on though however. Unfortunately we regret that we need to tighten up our rules, but some events have shown that we should as well a further define some areas of them. As of today I've written up a new revision our rules and will probably add to them as the weekend progresses. All I really want to ask of you guys though is to please be respectful to others. It shouldn't be a hard thing to do.

But ending on a possitive note. As of now we have a whole 12 of ya voting for change lol. The polls are still open about the yiff room though, but the way votes are going so far it seems like as of Sunday I'll be working on the new Yiff Room. Lina and I have already picked out a much bigger space so I personally think it will be the better thing to do. I just don't want to end up ruffling to many feathers with changes to how things are.

Yiff Room Poll

Hello furry friends, I've got a poll for you today YAY!

Ok, so all silliness aside. I've been taking a look at our Yiff Room and it's been having some ok traffic up there but also not quiet as good as the other areas. While my former changes to the Dungeon and Private Rooms hasn't been a drastic change from the original structure and theme, I'm looking at the Yiff Room in terms of a complete overhaul. So please read my explanation, possible ideas, and give us your opinion on the matter.

First. In all my changes done to the lounge, I have seen more comments about the areas looking more open and welcoming. Right now in the Yiff Room it's kind of packed and not much open room for walking around in. I feel that there is also a lot dead space up there. While the build is superb, the floor space is limited and kind of crowded. I don't like that there is only one path to the pool and even at the pool there is hardly standing room to move around in.

Second. The fact that this is a house inside a skybox really spends a lot of prims on just making the exterior of the house look good. I can save on prims by just a box with the decore spent souly on the interior and the exterior being left up to the imagination. This will allow me to use those free prims elsewhere in the build via more toys or themed decoration ect...

So my thinking is finding something a little bit bigger with less prims and more open to give you guys more floor space to walk around in and hang out in. My possible ideas thus far would be either like a park, or the inside of a building (similar to how the dungeon is only not as dark), I would love to keep some kind of pool. Ideas are still formulating in my head, but we will have to look around and see what can be done. Quality of course will not be sacrificed. In fact we're looking too improve it.

I do know that some of you guys like the room as it is and one person even said it should be the main TP area. So I don't want to act without hearing back from the community on this one.
So, with that I'll leave voting up to you guys.

Should YAL Redesign the Yiff Room

More work in the Dungeon

Sup furs out there? Well, we're still working on increasing the productivity of our D/s sector out there and thinking of ideas which can bring in more D/s bdsm lifestylesers out to our little lounge. So I've increased the size of the Dungeon entrance lobby quiet a bit to accommodate more seating room for any Doms and subs alike to sit and visit.

Please feel free to check it out and here's a little preview of the changes done to the lobby area of the dungeon.



As always we love to hear back from you guys, so share what you think with us. Hope you guys enjoy and that we can always bring something new and better for all to enjoy.

Dungeon Move

If you happened to log out in the dungeon and found it missing when you logged in today, well it's ok. It is still the same as ever, just relocated down to the street level.



 We just felt having the dungeon down on the street level would be a pretty good idea and bring in some foot traffic. It's actually set below the main street build as a basement located in the three story building next to the cafe'. It's not too hard to miss, just look for the "Ms Kitties Pretty Play Dungeon" sign and enter. If you don't feel like walking, well all the TPs are the same and have just been updated to take you to the new location. 

Enjoy and <3s

What does the fox say?

So what does the fox say, I think I'll leave this up to us furries to figure out. In fact, I think I'll dedicate this one to Syxx.



So onto some real news. I'm looking at moving the dungeon down onto the street level with the main lounge. So far I have the frame work set up for it to fit in as a basement with the entrance located in the building next to the cafe' It's blocked off for now and still a thought. But expect some late night shifting of gear from the dungeon.

Well I'm not all that big into the social media, I suppose I'm starting to show my age and being a grumpy old fart. However, I do like Facebook and just derping around with it while at work and what not, so the other day I created an account just for Yiff Alley Lounge for the heck of it. So if you'd like, check it out, like, comment and all that mess. I'm just thinking this may be a way to communicate with me much easier than through this blog and SL.
