Longcat is GONE. It has been removed from the site, and Draconis has taken it's place.


I'd like to take this time to issue an apology to you, the users. In the past month we have been handling a situation with multiple sites, over a silly 64x64 canvas filled with pixels. This was known to all of us as Longcat, and wasn't an important item on the site.


The item caused confusion, and most of all it caused controversy on Subeta, as well as outside of Subeta. We kept fighting for Longcat and Subeta in hopes that it would protect the users, and make Subeta appear strong, and able to find off any attack. Whatever you've been told, keeping Longcat was never about pride, it was about keeping the site safe from internet terrorists now, and in the future.


We weren't aware of the ability of one item to take down multiple fan-dedicated sites, and cause a legion of internet users to attack Subeta and it's users, not only on Subeta, but on other sites. We asked all users to change passwords, and make changes to their internet lives that could have been spared, had the item not been kept up.


Some will look at this as a loss for Subeta, while we are viewing it as a definite win. We are able to continue about our business and create fun, exciting new things for all of you to do, and you are able to play Subeta without worrying about what is lurking, and who is really your friend.


Again, we all apologize for any problems that you may have experienced in the past month due to this little group of pixels, and we hope that all of you keep playing Subeta. The site is about you, the users, and would be nothing without you. We also want to extend an apology to any community outside of Subeta that has been affected by this, including the communities we were having this problem with - all of the chans. Hopefully we can all move on to things that are more important :) We also apologize for any actions we took that may have provoked the chans, including taunting or pushing them to make sure they knew we weren't going to give up. All of this we accept as our fault, and we are apologizing to every party for.


Starting out the new features, is the Cult Revamp! Recoded to work much better, you can now create a cult and choose from a number of pre-made templates, which range from Angelic to Hydrus :)


We are leaving the comments on this post open, in hopes that everyone can play nice. We will disable that easy if need be.

I was never all that excited about Longcat in the 1st place. I thought it was OK and kinda cute but not a big deal. I like the Draconis much better, thank you!

thank you. That's it...just thank you for looking out for us the users and making a good choice to put this ugly little bump in the Subeta road to rest.

Oh my gosh I LOVE the Draconis! I need it now! I had a fansite myself which got frozen from freewebs. It used to be rank on SuSho, too. But I would've gotten rid of it eventually, anyway, for I am buying it's own domain soon, making lots of neat graphics for it, (and Subeta to put on it) and lots of other cool stuff the old members and friends will be thrilled about. =D

I believe the right desision was made here, and shows that Subeta will not involve itself in petty arguments, and will be the metaphoric 'bigger man' in this. I do feel sorta bad for PymaJac... it was originallt their staff custom and all. ^^;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Keith, I do love the Draconis (I'm a Dragon Girl after all) but I shall miss the Longcat which I also loved. It is unfortunate that you had to remove the longcat but I suppose in the end it is a small thing compared to one's peace of mind. It is a shame, I don't like to see internet terrorists rewarded but maybe some good will come out of this. Bygones. Let's move forward.

Well, while this does mean we gave in, we've won out in the end. We're going on happily, obviously Longcat wasn't good enough for Subeta anyway (XP We're too good for silly stretched out felines. Neener!) and we get an awesome dragon that no one can complain about owning because it's oriental and mythological. Can't own myths, can we? If we could then, all dragons are mine. Yeah. Totally. Mine. owns all dragons

Thank you Keith, and the Subeta Staff. I know how hard you guys must have worked to keep the Longcat, and I support your decision. It was a silly pixel, and I'm glad you guys did the right thing to keep the members of Subeta safe. I'm sad to see all that trouble gone, but I'm glad it's done now.

And besides, the Draconis is cool too!

Thanks Keith. I like the Draconis even more than the Longcat simply because it means more. It means that care and thought was put into the users of this site and the site itself. Maybe we can all learn to forgive and forget.

I Support the Staffs choices. I never cared one way or another- it was a pixel after all. But if this is what the staff thinks is best, then I support them.

I just hope things can return to normal now. I would like to say tho that I am proud of the staff and the players that stuck it out until the end. Thats Subeta Pride

Look in the 'overchest' part of the wardrobe, if you cant find your new item elsewhere.

If you still have a longcat on your avatar, it'd be smart to remove it. They may target you for it.

stares at her avatar A dragon isn't the same... Ah well, so long Longcat. We will miss you and all your pixelly fluff.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by Deleted User

Well, though I wasn't really clear on what the whole Longcat arguement was about...it's sad to see all of it over, as you say and I strongly agree with, a bunch of pixels. C; But, at least its settled. And thanks for the replacement. xD ♥

I do see this as a loss. But, hey, you win some, you lose some. keith doesnt need to apoligize to the chans in any shape or form.

I am anxious to see if they hold up their end of the bargain. Terrorists. Hope you feel good about yourselves. I am really torn. Ah well - let's move on.

Although I am indeed sad to see the Longcat go, and am anticipating some "HA WE WIN!!1!!one!" spam elsewhere, thank you for that very mature and considerate decision. It's good to see that at least one side is willing to act the adult. Thank you again.

I understand that they were supposed to turn into draconis' but the two longcats that were in my vault didn't. They turned into nothing.

On a completely different note, if you've seen it on a female HA...xD It kind of looks like its fondling the avatar. Sorry, but I had to point that out here xD

"I don't think that apology was the greatest possible" - But should we really have to go out of our way to apologise? x) It seems to me that subeta suffered more for it, so changing the item and appologising seems good enough to me.

I have to say that I like the Draconis better then longcat anyhow, too bad I can't use it for my avatar with the snake appendages as legs.
