This is a really good idea. While it might be disappointing to those who had multiple breedings set up, I think the staff is making the right choice in taking the extra time to catch up with backorders. I personally thank you for keeping your promises to catch up with owed orders before opening more slots.
Getting some breathing room and the chance to get ahead of the giant wave of fluff can only be good in the long run.

It's fair to D, Sciggles, 'Zia, and the mods who need to process the immense amount of work that's built up, it's fair to the handlers who have been waiting patiently for their adorable babies (and some who have made breeding plans for said offspring), and it should be fair to our newbies since the next breeding season should start of fresh and ready to go!
Thank you again for this decision, and letting us know what's going on. <3
