I'm sure someone's said it already but that whole thing with longcat is still enshrined in my memory haha Also didn't there used to be like an art gallery or a photo album? I very specifically remember uploading my terrible baby art on here somewhere lol. Who knows, that was waaay back on my original account before it was lost to the void. Maybe I'm just thinking of the old forums.

Came here to say this very same thing! LOL

Another thing I remember were the and . They used to cost real world money and gave extra pet slots with the Donadak being the more expensive one (it gave more slots). They cost like $30 or $40 USD a piece! I saved my sP for what seemed like forever for the Mystical Montre Plushie to add to my gallery. :s

Also the whole shift from .com to .net Longcat Forum Groups Keith's 18th birthday

And the Easter Bunny!!!!!!!!!! I loved finding the surprises in the eggs!!! :)

I have like a gajillion memories but those Mystical Plushies are what first came to mind.

We found this in the discord earlier --

This was the pet every pet on the site transformed into when i turned 18.

I remember the original subeta that went away for several months and when subeta returned it was this site. on the original you played slots and pawned 10 items an hour... and i remember the pets on the original.

Forum Groups used to be called Cults.

Various memories:

• Forumtext where THE thing. You had to have a matching set. Top, bottom, signature. All matching. Bonus if you had a matching avatar to go with it! Ton of users would take commissions for them on the forum. I had douzens of those, and would get a new one every month to match my teenage's current hyperfixation.

You could also customize the font and color of your posts. Yes a lot of people had horrendous fonts and colors. Yes it made reading the forums a nightmare at times. I definitely get why we got rib of them, but good memories still!

Some of my old Forumtext designs from 2007-2009

Pretty sure this next one was my first ever forumtext on site

-The vintage Subeta layouts... You can see the switch to web 2.0. It was glorious.

The OF layout? Maybe? Low bandwidth mode The OG layout I remember when I first joined Layout design from the early 2010s Pink heart layout option for the above

• Back when human avatars just came out and you could only get one single item per layer, there was a glitch you could exploit on the move layers page to duplicate layers, so you could have TWO items on the same layer. I abused this glitch to make some crazy sparkles HA, I specifically remember using it to combine both of the Keith 18 birthday demon/angel balloon on one single HA.

One of my very first HA on site, right after I had gotten those wings from the token shop: Click to see many very bad HA from when I was a teen, including many with the longcat item

• People talk a lot of the .com to .net change, but iirc, we changed from .org to .ws and then to .net. I don't remember Subeta ever having a .com domain, it was .org, then the .org domain got lost because of some drama, everything was moved to .ws in a pinch, and eventually it settled to .net.

unfortunately i'm messy and remember the drama-related things the most just because of how entertaining it could be to read through the fallout. the debate sectioned existed and was (predictably) a mess, there was that whole subetadrama thing, also the controversy with the old Miner title.

i also have a lot of wonderful memories here which is why i'm still around after... 17 years. waaaay less active of course, but after all this time i might as well stick it out until the bitter end.

I remember that there was such an outcry after the rreign gained wings when it was revamped that the mahar was created. And people used to pay to create their own items, I think? I remember some of them that got renamed - one of them was: It was Debilee's I think, it still has a 'd' on it!

The pro- and anti- George W Bush pin wardrobe items.

Yep! I still have an old staff t-shirt that I had made for when a former artist and I staffed a table at ArctiCon, and it says Subeta.org!

OOOOOH so much nostalgia on here, been here for over 20 years now <3

i still remember when we had the 10k user celebration and a celebration for 3k users online.

Omg those forum text images awakened some long buried memories!! 🤣

That's probably not quite what you're looking for in terms of answer, but about half an hour ago looked at my Profil and it says "created in July 2008" which made me remember that I graduated high school in 2008. But I feel like I played Subeta during high school? So I'm either mixing up Pet-Sites that I used to frequent or that date is wrong, lol. Either way, it made me feel old. Which is funnily enough almost exactly how Subeta made me feel when I first joined - so much more grown up and cool than the other site, lol.

My god. I remember the .org to .ws to .net stuff. My god. I feel SO old thinking about that.
