Unique: The Original No-Focus Group: Apps OPEN
Replies
This is (hopefully) the first of a few threads for 2021, and even though it's a place for Unique members to chat within Subeta, we invite anyone to chat with us here, because We have found that playing Subeta is infinitely better with a close-knit group of friends.
So come, chat with us, and see for yourself why we have been an active and successful group for almost 12 years!
Please let us (especially or , or ping ) know should you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. Thank you for checking out Unique!
- Active and friendly members.
- Pop-up activities and games - something is always going on!
- Active forums that are always up, even when Subeta is not.
- Unlockable "Hive Ranks", an offsite achievement system.
- Participation is rewarded with "Pollen Points."
- Honeycomb shop that restock Subeta goodies.
- And much more!
Unique is an application only Group, and has always taken pride in getting to know applicants prior to making a decision on the acceptance or denial of membership. This is because we have an incredibly friendly atmosphere without drama, and want to make sure that each new member is a right fit for Unique's family.
It is important that we mention that we are looking for active and friendly users that want to interact with us. Unique is not a group that cares about how many members we have, it is definitely a matter of quality over quantity for us. Because of this, we do have a rule for members regarding activity, which is posted in a few places on our website. If you are considering Unique as your online home, please do take into consideration what is required to be considered an active member prior to applying. Click here to apply!
Unique does allow multiple group memberships, as long as the other group is a FOCUS Group (HA, battle, pets, art, etc)
As we mentioned before, Unique is a family that isn't interested in the quantity of members but rather the quality. Because of this, we only accept applications every few months in order to allow time for our members (new and old) to get comfortable and get to know one another.
If you do not hear from a member of Unique regarding your application after two days, please ping or sMail/comment or . Thanks!

Group Rules
1. Being an active member of Unique entails being an active member of our offsite forums. We do remove inactive memberships on a regular basis. Look on the next section below for more information on what is considered an active membership, and why we have this rule!-
Treat your fellow Group members with the respect that they deserve - Unique is a calm and friendly environment. Trolling or disrespectful behavior towards other members will not be tolerated.
-
Please show tolerance to your fellow group members. Though it should go without saying, all members should show courtesy to each other even if you have a different view. Different does not always mean wrong.
-
Please be sure to remain polite and constructive when considering new member applications. Failure to do so may result in your no longer being able to vote on applications.
-
Should you have an issue with a member, please talk to them about it. Too often, we will let things stew and that never ends well. We need to be able to talk to each other and sort things before they get out of hand. Please discuss privately via the forum PM system or sMail - the rest of Subeta doesn't really need to read about it! ;P If you would prefer to talk with a staff member about it, or have mediation, please do not hesitate to ask Tinkerbell or Silvy, we would be happy to help!
-
Please be sure to read all of the rules for events and activities hosted by staff to ensure that your entries/submissions/participation are counted. Failure to read and comply with the rules will result in disqualification from the activity.
-
To avoid confusion, if you change your Subeta username, please post the forums your new username. Failure to do so may result in removal from the group.
-
In order to eliminate confusion, Tinkerbell or Silvy will post on a locked topic on the forums when a member is no longer with Unique. We will not post a reason as to why they are gone nor will we provide any further information to the matter – so please don’t ask. Also, please do not ask the former member why they are no longer with us, either. If they want to share then that is fine, but it is inappropriate to ask them.
-
Please refrain from publicly complaining about Unique, its features, its members, etc on Subeta.

Active Membership
1. Being an active member of Unique entails being an active member of our offsite forums. This is where our activities, announcements, chatter and more occur - and it is the heart of the group.-
To us, joining Unique is like becoming a part of the family, and we do not take new additions lightly - we have an intensive application process that shows us who the applicant really is, and we take great care in ensuring that each new member will be a good fit with the existing family. With such care being taken in the application process, it goes without saying that we wish to interact with all of our members and get to know them. The only way to do this is to chat with members and to participate in events. In order to accomplish both of those things, usage of the forums is necessary. ;)
-
For the reasons listed above, each member is expected to make a minimum of 5 posts per month. This is basically one post a week plus either checking in, or answering the poll, so we don't feel it's too much to ask. However, if you will be busy with real life, such a during a crazy time at school, a new baby, surgery, moving, a busy time at work, please, just let us know! We WILL work with you, because we want our bees to stay with us!
-
Please remember that 5 posts (in our off-site forum) is the absolute minimum to stay in the group, not a number to aim for! We'd love to see everyone still posting at least 20 times a month, though.[/SPOILER] [spoiler=Multi-Group Rules]1. Multi-group memberships are currently allowed, but only within the context of the rules below. Failure to adhere to these rules may result in your removal from Unique.
-
Multi-group memberships only extend to focus group (HAs, battle, etc). Unique is a no focus group (the original!) and memberships in other no-focus group is not permitted at this time. If you decide to join a focus group, don't forget that if you do not meet the 5 post per month requirement, you will be removed from Unique for inactivity. We are very up front about our rules in the application process, including the activity requirement, so please do not join other groups if you do not feel that you will be able to give your full attention to us and the other group - it is not fair to anyone and we do not want to lose you! :*
-
If you are a staff member for Unique, you are not permitted to be staff or run another group (unless approved by ).
-
You are not permitted to discuss Unique events, activities, members, or things discussed on the forums/Discord with other groups. Remember the group rule that what is said here, stays here!
-
Please do not talk about your other group(s) within Unique; just as we expect privacy we request that you honor the privacy of other group(s) as well.
-
Do not recruit members of Unique to other groups without being asked about other focus group suggestions first.
[spoiler=This is a list of approved groups with a specific focus for multi-group memberships.]The Round Up (Collecting, run by former member illusion) Chic (HAs and Fashion) Daily Item (HAs) Jellybean (HAs) Subetan Runway (HAs) Menagerie (Pets) Tartarus (Battle)

Oh i have been mia... sorry all. Work is keeping me very busy, i hope it will get better soon. I am more at work then home. Our lockdown is coming down slowly and things are opening up slowly. It's weird doing stuff more after being home loads for more then a year.
Sorry you’re so busy, with Vesnali coming up this week too, hope you get some time to enjoy the fun :) I agree it all feels very strange getting back to normal. We are now allowed to meet indoors; restaurants, theatres and cinemas have opened again, most of our over 40’s have been vaccinated ( I have my second dose next Monday) and the plan is to be out of restrictions on 21st June. However we now have the Indian variant, so who knows
oh vesnali is starting this week?! Are you sure? I haven't seen any info about it.
You are further along then we are, theaters, etc are still closed (all indoor stuff). Will open somewhere in june. But still weird..
Haven't heard yet of this indean one yet. Heard it's in idia bad.
I had all my vacinations (nurse so was one of the first). The program had a slow start here but it's gettig better and more are getting the vaccin.
They added it in to the Crystal restock news post :)
It was only on Monday indoor places opened, for the theatres its the first time since last March. Everyone came rushing back from India as soon as it was announced they were going on to our red list of countries and now we have a few hotspots around the country. It spreads very quickly it seems. I just hope we contain it so we can stick to our end plan of 21st June. My daughters rearranged wedding is planned for 17th July, it would be such a shame if we have to cancel again, but we can only see, can’t we. We’ve just been out for afternoon tea, it was lovely. The restaurant was so well organised, apart from the extra space and keeping masks on until seated it seemed almost normal :)
