Remember that Age Poll?
Replies
While voting on the strain names I was reminded of that Age Poll that they held years ago. I couldn't even remember how old I was when they asked that so I took a peek, and I had voted for the 16-18 age range. I'm now 29!!! O_O I would be SO curious to see what that poll would look like now. I wonder if the majority of people here are older now that it's been so long, or if we have picked up a significant number of new members as we went along.
Who else is curious???? Who else voted in that poll? XD I only feel a wee bit old. <3
[edit]
Further proof that Subeta and those who keep it's wheels turning are awesome! Much love to you guys, I laughed when I saw this poll was up.
Haha, yeah... that was so long ago! I voted for 19-24 back then, if they were to re-open it now I'd be voting 30-34. Sheesh!
I voted in it. Good old times with me not being old.
I revisted that poll too, lol. I ticked "19-24" ... I'm 32 now. I'd love to see how the demographic has changed (if it has).
19-24. I'm turning 30 in August, lmao.
16-18 here
I just had my 28th birthday last week. I vaguely remember answering the poll right after I joined, and being disappointed I was just a few months from the 19-24 option lol
I'd love to see the current numbers though
Yep, I totally remember that poll! I was in the 35-39 bracket then, and just turned 46 around two weeks ago. Between the poll and the strand of gray hair staring at my eyeball, I'm feeling ancient now. lol
How did you find this site? I remember that a friend had shown me the big yellow awful petsite, and when they started going downhill I just started searching for other, better ones online. I found subeta and neurogalaxy (R.I.P.) and I liked them the best because of the more mature crowd.
How about everyone else?? Did you look for this site, or did it find you?
I had started at the yellow site when I was 27 as a way to de-stress after work... (I was one of those awful telemarketers). I met a ton of great people, but lost a few comps to viruses and such that I was picking up, and the site was making huge changes that I hated to their guild system. My guild's leader found Subeta first and suggested we try it. Most of us moved in here.
Not even gonna lie; I was totally unimpressed. I was met with staff member rudeness almost immediately and mashed my refresh key more than anything because of lag and downtime. The few, brief times I did load content, nothing made sense and I had to rely heavy on the people that came here with me. Had it not been for them, my stubborn streak and sheer boredom (I was on disability by then), I probably wouldn't have stayed at all. lol
I voted 19-24 back then, I’m at 30-34 currently.
Also,
Can this be moved to GD since I believe it’s about Subeta?
Oohh yes I am curious as well!
It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out.
You cannot read Loss, only feel it.
Also voted in the 16-18 category at the time. It's weird to even imagine haha. It would be really cool to compare users' ages to then and now; did most users grow up w the site, or maybe does it naturally attract an older audience now? Or perhaps the people joining pet sites are still mostly very young people? I wanna know!
I found Subeta because I loved Neo so much and went on a huge binge making accounts on every petsite I possibly could. I kind of still make accounts everywhere whenever a new one pops up. Subeta is great but I love the idea of petsites in general, it isn't the only one I frequent even now. :'D
Yeah, I thought about it, but I decided to let it stay because it was more people talking about how old they were when they found the site and how their personal lives have grown/changed since then. It could go either way, but I think it's fine where it is.
- TBH I stayed with any petsites that let me satisfy my hoarding/collection tendencies. XD It helps to collect little digital items, so that I can be a little more minimalistic in real life. I actually loved NeuroG for that, because I started when they were very very new so I had a pretty amazing gallery, haha. I did try so many petsites though, this one was the only one that was over-all pretty awesome.
- huh. I don't really recall that many loading issues. There were a few growing pains moments when they switched to new servers or services, but I think that was more recent. I remember thinking they didn't have any great games when I first started (they had no flash-style games at that point) but I was mostly interested in the Avatar system and the item collecting when I joined.
chuckles Well, I suppose it could've been a growing pain for those couple weeks as well. We brought a ton of folks in at once. But, yeah, when I found that hoarding a huge amount of stuff was possible with a fraction of the "saving up" time, I was hooked. Also, ANYUS and CHAIS!!!! <3 lol
