In like ten days, it will be my ten year anniversary here on Subeta. I've been here and active the entire time. I feel like currently I'm in the least active stage of my Subeta life I've ever been - something I think is fairly common with people my age, both in real years and Subeta years.
I'm trying to make myself fall deeply in love with Subeta again, but it's been difficult. The biggest focus seems to be the CWs, which I do love, but I am a real person with real bills haha and I can't spend all of my money on pixels, as much as I want to. I want a house one day. I have every tier of achievement for the filled wardrobe. I managed to snag the full hoarder achievement RIGHT before it retired, which I still think is one of my proudest achievements. Pacifist is t12, which while not t13, is respectable I think. I've got over 2b sP, but I'll never have the richest achievement. Cibophobia has eaten over 4k different foods, and I'm trying to remember to feed him every day. This is the first time in something like two years - or more - that I haven't had a GA. I'm struggling to do my quests every day. I'll do better I tell myself. I don't.
I still get a little twinge of excitement every few months. Survival is coming up. I look forward to collecting items. Masquerade will be following shortly. I look forward to collecting items. Vesnali in a few months. I don't really look forward to collecting items, but I'll get all of the wears, books, and foods regardless.
So here it is, my anniversary thread. Tell me happy subetaversary. Tell me you feel the same way. Tell me what makes you log on every day and be active.

Happy Subetaversary! Mine ten year is coming up in May. Sometimes what keeps me logging in every day (or almost every day) is just habit, really. January always seems rather drab for me because we're just coming off a ton of holidays where there was a lot to do and then suddenly it's back to the everyday. I'm not complaining about that, just and explanation for my own doldrums atm. With crappy weather I don't always have the option of going outside.
I am totally there with you on doing quests. I have bursts and then I drop off again. I try and make sure I keep enough wizard tokens to get stuff when the shop restocks.
Oh, I know another thing that keeps me logging in! There's a couple names I'm shooting for, so I log in the see if their owners have gone idle long enough yet. :D Lame, I know.
Hope you find some fun new project for her ten year anniversary!

Happy subetaversary! I'll be at ten years on April 20th. Sometimes it just doesn't feel like it's been that long and other times it's just, ugh, how the heck have I been here that long?
I still find it fun to do quests and putter around onsite. I still like making HAs but more the ability to use everything I want without having to own it since I don't care what my onsite HA looks like. It's so much cheaper that way! lol I've also gotten into editing wears to make them better layerable or sometimes to change the color.
Another thing that keeps me here, I'm waiting to see how long it's going to be until my two nominated pets win the spotlight or get kicked out. Hopefully since it's been so long they're in the win queue. It had been years before Princess Butterball won. Though I did have to edit their profiles lately because the font changes screwed up a couple of things. Why it blew up the image I had on one I have no idea.
ps:I freaking love your status. I have a cat that I swear is tuned into when you have to pee because that's when she decides she's going to sit on your lap. Doesn't matter how long you've been sitting, hours or a minute, just before the thought you have to pee crosses your mind she's on your lap.

Happy Subetaversary! I turned 11 years at the end of January.
I made a new pet (Aurianne) in 2013 so I had something to look forward to log into and work on. I lost motivation and then I was only on for maybe 5min at a time every other day. All of a sudden, I became really active starting in September 2016. I've been collecting TC items for Aurianne too and I finally coloured her glacier. I have a ton of new pets too. I'm even working on getting profiles and art done for my characters.
I'm also really bad at spending real currency on CSC. Even if I don't have the funds, I'll still buy a ton of CSC. I don't quest or train battle pets. I'm just here for the lovely community and the pets c;
I'm also looking forward to the epidemic and collecting candy hearts.
I had two pet wins in 2016, weeks apart. I was ecstatic! I've also been kicked out of spotlight like, two or three times already. My heart sunk every time I saw the message.
It's always surprising to me to find people "older" than me! It always feels like I've been around since the beginning, but that is just absolutely not true. Happy subetaversary! See you next year ;D
I ... honestly feel like I have too many pets now. I was super in to collecting phobias a few years back, so I gathered them all up and then ... didn't do too much with them. I recently made pets for my irl cats, when I noticed the name Discordia was clearing up. Verrry pumped to get that one tbh. Little bummed, but not at all surprised that Tiger wasn't free, so I made Tiger. which could be worse. I made a pet out of a character I had for one of my BJDs, got him the right species, got a little art ... and again, nothing. No treasures, half thought stories, I'm the worst. TCs are so hard for me???? idkidk
I haven't spent any money recently, but Black Friday drained me hard and I'm kind of ... getting in to (some) CWs again, plus I always need to have CSC for new battle opponents ... I can feel it coming. I'm going to spend again soon. I wish I could just convince myself to spend my sP on it instead of my real money haha
But yes, survival is coming. That means new wears! I love new wears!!!
Man, I love making avatars so much. I am still fairly addicting to collecting new wears. My wardrobe is ... well, let's just say that I got the filled wardrobe achievement YEARS ago, and I still buy every single event wear. But it's such a double edged sword. I have SO much stuff, that it's so difficult to navigate my wardrobe sometimes. I miss DI, it gave me an excuse to try to change every day. I keep telling myself to join the new forum group for it, and I've looked at it a few times, but idk nothing's happened yet.
I do wish you luck in the pet spotlight! I thought about trying to do something for Pacifist before. I'm just not a graphic designer, so it's hard. And I have ideas that are bigger than my capabilities. Plus no actual inspiration. Yeah, okay, she's like a water dragon and was - what, worshiped or fears by the islanders? Did they have prayers for her - what were the prayers? Did they offer sacrifices to her?
I've got my two irl cats as pets here, as of just last year. They've got some anecdotes in their profiles. I have one pet who shows my CW collection, and another where I post my outfits - this was started before outfit saving was limitless (Because it used to be only three, right, but now it's infinite? I don't know because I haven't started using it ... )
(Speaking of my cats Tiger literally just spent the last two hours napping on my chest, and Discordia spent the last forty minutes laying on my knees so I could only see the top half of the movie I was watching. I love them so much)
Happy almost ten years! I'm the same, really. I'm on at least once a day. If I'm lucky, I'm on and remember to do the bath house. If I'm unlucky, I'm on just because I left a tab open and I go on from there haha I'm currently on day 6 or 7. Which, you know, should be closer to 200, since I am actually on every day but HAHA I JUST SUCK AT EVERYTHING
I have over 40k wizard tokens right now lolol I'm good for whatever might pop up. And I know I gave one friend like 10k I think for Luminaire? I got an ... aemis not too long ago. And I vended aaaaa riptide. That was an exciting day for me. I do still get very excited when good things happen, or when events come up, but it's just ... being online for those good things to happen? Dang that is hard right now.

Congrats on 10 years!
I'm going to get my 12 year achievement in a few months.
Survival keeps me coming back. I'll stay for awhile, and then get busy. Honestly, the focus on CWs is what makes me leave. I'll never, ever be able to get the stuff I want. I love the official wearables, and can usually snag those when I feel like it. It's just that you don't often get to see all the innovative and creative ways people would use wardrobe items. There's a CW for that, almost always.
Quests are a pain on my iPad, and I don't have anything else.
New pets are always exciting, and I didn't realize I hadn't even claimed my longtime member thing from last year...
Happy Subetaversary!
Well I am a newish member, almost 10 months. I get bored sometimes already but that is how I am anyways. I have to say to me the CWs are a bit of a love/hate thing. They are all so gorgeous but most are completely out of reach and that is just disheartening to me I guess. I see something I love and then find out it is a CW and it just makes me sad,haha. I have a few but when I am looking at other HAs I enjoy the ones that do not have CWs. It seems like you have to be more creative to work with what is available for most regular users. If that makes any sense. Not that I am very creative myself though. I pretty much suck at the whole HA thing but I do still enjoy it.
Anyways, I hope you find something that will peak your interest again or you could always take a small break. That works sometimes and then when you come back, it will be new again depending how long you were on break.
Happy Subeta-versary! I get the same way with being extremely lazy with the site and not wanting to do much. I have less than 5mil to my name at the moment because I am too lazay to quest haha. I do love being here though, even if I just mainly lurk.
My own Subeta-versary isn't until May 16th, but I'll have been here for 6 years by then. It's normal for people to get bored/tired of the same-old same-old routine. I wouldn't worry too much about it! What keeps me coming back are the holidays, my pets, and ! ♥

Wow, apparently I joined in the evening, because I still don't have my achievement. Hmmmm.
Oh gosh quests on mobile are the WORST. At least they added the shop search thing, so it's better than before but it is still such a tedious pain. Can you get in to the wardrobe using your ipad? I don't think I've ever tried it from my phone but I can't imagine how annoying that must be as well. I am so glad to have joined before the original survival as well. Though my flesh may have healed, I'm still an 09 zombie at heart.
Yeah, that is one hundred percent how I feel. I love CWs but also I hate them so much haha There are SO many CWs that I really like, and think to myself "Man, if that were an official item, I'd SO own it" or "Dang I love it but I don't seven dollars love it" I admit, I've been giving in to the weakness lately and buying probably more than I should. I'm wearing three at the moment, and two of them I got this week. Eek.
I don't think I could ever ... just take a break. I mean, there might be lengths of time where I don't do quests, but I don't think I've ever gone more than a day without at least logging in. Gotta get Pacifist her training sessions. They come so few and far between now. Two a day, if I'm lucky.
Oh gosh, I'm the opposite. I have so much money in my bank because I can't convince myself to spend it xD I could not even try to guess at the last time I had only 5m I do try to be more active. I've been ... kind of posting? The pre-survival thread has been active, and I am ashamed to admit I've been looking around the CW threads more than I should. Still haven't done a quest all week... I'll probably take my laptop upstairs and do some while waiting for Survival/watching television
Honestly, I blame my new computer. I've been playing ESO. Gotta farm yo.

I can use the newest wardrobe, and even drag the layers around. That is wonderful. Before, I had to plan my items, and put them on from the bottom layer up to the top. Very, very annoying.
Happy Anniversary! Ironically, it is my birthday today, so double yay.
It's honorable that you have been here this long - I hope someday I can say the same. I left once and lost my original account, made a new one, left for about a year and came back again - luckily with my account still in tact. Subeta is like that - sometimes you fall out of love with it and then suddenly one day you have this insane desire to come back and invest more time in the creativity of it all. I'm sure your account (and pets) have grown with you. I wish you the very best on this anniversary, with many more years to come of Subeta fun.
Happy Subetaversary. I just hit 12 years last month and I go through spurts myself where I'm really in to the site or not into it at all. Over the holidays, I was having a lot of fun with the free shop and questing for the challenge they had going on. Then in January I basically just quested on the weekends because I lost my mojo. I'm usually pretty active during Survival, my favorite time on the site, and then by Vesnali I am barely on and miss all the cute items because I haven't gotten enough coins. lol I never really got into CWs, so I luckily don't have to worry about wanting to spend so much real money on Subeta.
It's a pretty good accomplishment to stick with a site for so long! I honestly didn't ever think I would do it, but something about Subeta keeps me coming back. :)

Oh yey happy birthday late!
Honestly though if I lost my account there is no way I'd come back. I got hacked on Gaia once eons ago and I made a new account and it just wasn't the same to be honest.
Oh gosh you are so lucky not to be in to cws lol I wish I could look at them and just say no and sometimes I can but I feel weak these days.
