I don't know what to make of this feature other than I know I won't use it on daily basis, if at all.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's Facebook for Subeta! 8O

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love/hate this feature. XD At least there's a choice of privacy.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

oh man . . . Facebook is taking over the internet.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Actually the more I think about this the more wonderful it becomes! I kept the topic making one and replies on, token shop, and creating pets/changing their colors on because I want my friends to see. You all think this might not be a social place, but in truth it's extremely social! This feature will be a lot of fun and help me connect to people I've been neglecting on my buddylist for quite a while.

Thank you for giving us this option! Some of us will really appreciate it's use. c:

For me it's more like "I don't want to spam my friends with all my pet training, adoptions, auctions, questing, trades, and profile comments." It's not that I don't want them knowing what I'm doing, I just don't want to bother them with all the trivial things or, in the case of profile comments, things that don't necessarily concern them. (I'm not complaining though... I'm happy that we have options for each so I can shut off what I don't want to flood my feed with.)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

My FRIENDS know what I'm doing! The HORROR of it all! I could see how it could get annoying after a while if you have a friend who/you are someone who has a big forum thread they post in constantly, like a shop or contest of some kind.

Gonna leave all mine on to check it out for a bit before deciding anything.

Because Lurapets totally invented status and...ohwait.

They didn't.

Let me beat your high dead horse a little.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'd like to see status updates on the right side of my screen, like the shoutbox only higher up, so I can see it update as I navigate the pages.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Disregard the "How do we view the feeds" bit of my comment and insert "I'm a dumbass." Ugh. I should try reading things and understanding them.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ah to stalk our friends we go to the same feed page... seems a little silly to me. Well I played w/ it. I set it how I like... heck if I'll remember to check it.

Meh.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

How are these activities observed? Is it a profile feature? It better not come up as alerts, because that would piss me off. I'm not a fan of the idea, personally. I couldn't really give a rat's ass about what people do on here, as long as they're not hacking my account. Going to set everything as 'no,' now.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

social networking is such a silly concept... go out.

Anyway. Interesting idea, there's a few I have set to yes, the rest to no, and I can't figure out how to see my friends' feeds, but if I miss something they'll tell me later.... so I really CBA worrying about this.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, this is neat. I guess. though else than topics I create (art shops) I don't really want people looking into my every move... and I'm not really interested in what other people do, either...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I personally love the idea!

Yes, many sites may already have implemented this feature and look how successful they are. Some people may enjoy this feature and some may not. To each their own.

A lot of you are also saying this isn't another social network... well isn't? Don't we come here to play games, meet and talk to friends? How is that not another community?

All in all, great job Subeta. Thank you!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Subeta; contributing to stalkers since 2009. ;D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like it but think its to stalkery in a way. I've narrowed it down to where they can only see my status, achievements, token shop buys, trade creation, and thread topics made. Thats all I really want to see out of the others too. I doubt I go there and check up on people much but if I do I do if not then oh well P:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Cool, but this is why we have Facebook etc, I doubt I'll use it. This isn't another social network site xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

ROFLMBO LOL

xD And who did you guys steal the idea from then? 'Cause I have seen MANY MANY sites that use that feature.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

....why on earth would we care about seeing that our friends have done Item Hunt? I set everything to No and am glad we were given that option.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is creepy and stalkerish, just eww.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Lurapets? Don't make me laugh.

Firstly, this is a type of feature you wouldd see on Myspace, Facebook, and even a bit of twitter. I would never think of a petsite with this type of feature because the three above have been using it for quite a while and are very widely known.

I can see this as possibly being neat and fun, but like many others I'm unsure. I'll give some of the options a run to see how well I like it. You never know until you try it! C:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

nice

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

DJTim666: I always thought bulletins and statuses originated from social networking sites, but thanks to you I now know a pet site I had never heard of before is the original creator.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

you guys, sites are practically based off of using ideas from each other, so everyone breathe ; D

I'm a little creeped out by this but we'll see how it goes o:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yes. I do agree default should always be set to No on everything.

Some people don't check the news or anything before going about their usual business. Like with the Stealth feature i had to tell most of my friends that they were invisible because of the default was on yes, when they didn't want to be hidden.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Default should be NO. My main concern is the options being reset without us knowing it, which is exactly what happened to me. There are many reasons why we might not want our friends to see ALL our comments, and I really don't want to have to constantly check the privacy settings to see if they have been reset.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

DJTim666 - ROTFLMAO

Seriously? You're already wasting your time by caring. Tons of sites us these features. There are tons of pet sites that will continue taking ideas from one another. Get with it, or get over it.

Seriously.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I was wary of this at first, but I've just realised the potential the feature has for me. I ADORE knowing about my friends pets and what they are doing with them, and I often go to my friends' profiles to see what updates they've made, and I spend ages trying to figure it out, and then I give up and ask them anyway.

Now I get to see when my friend has changed around her pets, or when another friend has changed the colour of one of her pets. This makes me vastly happy! And it's already started conversations up of 'OH YOU'VE ADOPTED A NEW PET!' which I can then glee about with people who I know care enough to actually ask! Lovelovelove this feature. And it's great that we can pick and choose what we want people to see

Nice to see some interesting features from facebook and twitter being implemented here! Thank goodness it's not a big huge thing on our homepage though, or clogging up our profiles. It's nice and organised on a separate page. So an improvement on an existing idea!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So, building on ideas ehh? You take Lurapets' "Bulletin" and "Statuses" and turn it into a completely retarded feature, that I doubt anyone will enjoy using.

You really need a life Keith. Stay away from Lurapets if you don't like what we have to offer. A little hypocritical to be stealing ideas, no?

Anyways, I'm not going to sit here and type out some rant that you'll probably never read, so all-in-all just leave us alone.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I like it

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"Um... Lurapets has this. Now who's taking ideas? "

Um... actually it's a social networking application that many many websites have.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's an interesting feature. I can see the use of the "Token Shop" preference, but I set almost everything else to "no" because it just seems pointless to alert my friends to those sorts of things.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

'And if you don't want to broadcast? Set everything to no. Simple as that. '

Sure it's as simple as that. Doesn't mean that the people who don't like this feature don't have the right to voice their opinions. Does it always have to be 'omg omg i luv u guys 4eva cuz u made dis new stalker thing' ??

If I like something, I will always make a point to say so. That doesn't mean I can't say when I don't like something, now does it?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

xD begins to stalk friends I KNOW IF YOU'RE NAUGHTY OR NICE evil laughter But I like my privacy ._. selects "no" for most of it

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Um... Lurapets has this. Now who's taking ideas?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Lurapets had this what? A month ago?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

As I already said in the forum thread- I know it from another Avatar Site and I dont like it. :/ I like my privacy. If my friends want to know something they can ask me.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's an interesting feature, although I set nearly everything to no. I kept the Token Shop, achievement, and forum topic alerts though. :3 Those could be fun to share.

Pretty much the exact same arguments are being used here as many people posted on Facebook back when they first implemented the feed. And yet the world didn't stop turning, and FB didn't lose the millions of users that were threatening to quit. I think we'll all survive this as well.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Cute idea. I don't know that I'll have much use for it, since I only have one friend here, but it's still fun. All of the development on this site is great.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Not a feature I would use myself, so I set everything to "no" in preferences, but as long as it doesn't slow the site down, it doesn't matter to me whether we have it or not.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hmmm... I hope the settings are vast and complex.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Interesting feature. I don't see much use in it (yet? ^^ ). The only thing i notice is that the site is really slow. No images loading, no pop-up information. Could this be result of all that logging?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Again, letting everyone know that it DOES NOT LEAVE AN EVENT when your friend does something.

Personally...I don't see this as letting them know a whole lot either ? I go on a few different sites where you can click who is online and actually see what they are doing at the moment. What thread they are looking at...etc.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Seeing the posts and comments like that I don't mind. Like Gunblade said, anyone can find those. I really don't see the use of some of the others.

You know, I'm surprised there's no quest one. Something that says how many wiz/sag/others quests you did and failed. Now that I would love to see.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

If you don't want your friends knowing what you're doing, why are they friends...I agree with that to a certain extent but at the same time they don't need or want to know every single thing I do on my account every day. That was a valid argument for not using the Stealth option because we don't all talk to every single friend we have every single day. If people don't hide, we at least can see that they are still alive and kicking. But I doubt my friends care when my pets trained, if I won an auction, abandoned or adopted a pet and so forth. I didn't speak up when it was in Beta testing because it was quite obvious this was going to be put in place regardless of what people said. Now made doubly obvious by the very short amount of time it was even beta tested. I just don't understand why this is even necessary.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

okaay "Pet Train" - then my friends would have 3 alerts every 2 hours lol i think it would be better to be displayed on my profile, or just as a "log" for myself - in fact i would love that. but nice to see all the changes and efforts!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This should be interesting.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't see how it's creepy. Anyone can find your posts, comments, etc. if they know where to look. This just gives you the option of broadcasting.

And if you don't want to broadcast? Set everything to no. Simple as that.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is kind of creepy. I'm not sure I like it, but I do like tha fact that you gave us the option of hiding our activity.
