There is a bug in the gags with the owner list, something that wouldn't be much of a problem for some but can be for other. However my concern is the crashing of the main script in the long run depending on how you use the gags.
The bug itself has to do with removing owners, for some strange reason the function i use doesn't remove the key but only the name of the owners. Now for some this isn't a problem as they just use one owner and don't change this at all. But others add and remove owners at a very fast rate - which isn't why i implemented this feature in the first place, it's there to have some sort of safety person for when your keys are stolen.
So owners never really get removed cause of this, and after some time the script my crash because it runs out of memory.
This is now my priority to fix and bring an update, however i ask until then that you be careful with who you add to the owner list. And if you really need to remove someone, reset the scripts.
Thanks for reading, any questions may be asked in the comments below or send an IM to Illiara Restless in-world.

Gag updates!
Before i start talking you have to know only gags have updates at this time!
Updates have arrived, I've only traded the new for the old ones to people in the update group so far (Well get in the update group to know about things first! Or hang out at our sim!)
I'm getting ready to notify 1000+ people about the new updates, so if you can't miss your gags for a few hours/day(s) then either be really fast or wait a while till the storm is over! Why am i saying this? Cause i can't offer automated updates due to technical problems, sorry!
How do you update?
Easy! just follow the steps described in our (work in progress) wiki here.

Changes
Hello peepz,
There's going to be allot of changes in the next few days/weeks, so there is a possibility the main store will suffer some downtime. A few of these things are listed below:
- The main store will be relocated to a bigger place, maybe a homestead. It will depend on Nikala next time i talk to her.
- The gags will get updated however the old gags won't receive updates right away, takes some time to remake an updater. Read further for a list of changes.
- Old items might be discontinued, which ones that are is not 100% sure yet.
- Chastity belt release! I'm sure allot of people are waiting for that!
- New vendor system, the old one was unreliable. (If you ever plan to go down the vendor road, avoid Apez!)
The gag updates:
So the gags will get updates and with a bit of effort on my part, all other items will too. Changes are:
- Added limited owner system: You can set up to 9 owners that can access the gag at all times. eg: Your keys are owned by Person X and Person Y is one of your owners, Person Y can retrieve the keys by clicking the gag and pressing "Yes" to the confirmation box. This however will cause Person X to lose the keys and the keys will be given to Person Y.
- Redesigned the menu, the main menu now has a RLV button for easier access, this will open a new menu with the types of restrictions (eg: teleport, chat, etc) so it's easier to find the ones you want.
- Plugin menu won't have several pages long of plugins, most of the old scripts will now be included with items by default.
- Strap color, texture and ball/rind/dildo/etc color is now combined into one script and listed with the plugins under the name "Customize..." Also texture changing will display some progress text so you know when the menu is going to return.
- Gag speak redone, made more understandable for almost every "tightness".
- Gag translators destroyed, text will be redirected to a random channel, no more channel listeners to figure out what the gagged person is saying. Beats the point of a gag now doesn't it?
- New tightness called "Sloppy", to make up for the destruction of channel listeners - this is a somewhat understandable mumble setting.
- Outfits in RLV, this was suppose to be launched a year ago however it never happened. This new feature will finally give you the #RLV Folder and other clothing option such as blocking wear, undressing and more!
- Private and non-private mode! Listed under setting, this feature will make chat messages sent by the gag (such as taking keys) said in either local chat or private to key holder and wearer. This was a requested feature a long time ago, and i just got around implementing it.
Thats all i can list for now cause these changes are permanent.
New struggle system!
There might be a new struggle system however i need some info first, to get this info i will be setting up some test objects for anyone to test.
Anyone can help testing this! And there might be a reward for people who manage to complete it, the winner(s) will be the people who solve it in the least amount of tries, but i might also set a reward randomly to people who participated and completed it. You are allowed to try as much as you want and improve your score.
It's a fun game that i made to make struggling more fun yet it WILL be hard because i will limit the amount of tries based on data from testers.
More info about this soon, stay tuned!

Cold Embrace is not dead! Because of an emergency i was forced to re-script the gags, guess what? I was enjoying it and i will continue expanding.
The emergency
Well as you know, Cold Embrace uses Apez vendor system and for the last 6-7 months this has been a horrible experience since Apez is kind of deserted now. There is no more support there, and the last week transactions have been failing constantly. 4-5 days of sales are pretty much gone not so I'm doing everything i can't to get away from Apez before it gets worse.
But atleast something good came out of it! I started scripting again, and i've only heard good comments about the improved scripts. Hope it stays that way!

Comment Moderation
I have enabled comment moderation, wich means next time you post a comment i have to confirm it first. Why? Because there was a whole lot of spam going on in the comments section, I've deleted over 35 of those just a moment ago - I recommend all the readers of this blog not to follow any links that are posted in the comments.
Also, i havn't posted much on this blog and some of the things in the earlier posts have been cancelled and stopped. One of those things was that plugin, i no longer have it due to my original account getting banned. Also the website isn't going up, i don't make enough money in SL to pay for hosting and it got kind of lost along with allot of psd files from the shop after my PC got upgraded to windows 7.
I am however looking to spend an amount of time on the shop again, but i can't promise anything.
