I was just talking to my bf about how much I appreciate Subeta as a site, and how long it's been running. I look at other sites that have just gone down rabbit holes of non functionality or just not caring about the userbase, but Subeta has always felt like home to me. I'm so appreciative of everyone who works behind the scenes to keep the site up and running, and I'm so glad that it's still here after all these years. Looking forward to the revamp!
Same, I've played off and on for many years and I'm frankly shocked and ecstatic that this is still here.
I hate that I wasn't into Subeta quite as much when I was younger, because I've missed out on cool stuff. I've always had a love for pet sites, but most just didn't quite catch my interest for long periods of time other than neo.
I decided on a whim to check back in here last month, was happy to find this account was still here, and immediately got hooked.
I feel like collecting items and getting nice pets here is a lot easier than some other places. And having nice avatars as well. I've gotten frustrated with many sites over item pricing and making money. (Granted, there's still several things I'd like but can't afford here, but I don't feel like it's impossible like I do elsewhere!)
Even if I end up eventually taking a long hiatus from here like I usually do with just about every site I go on, I do see myself coming back. I really like it, and, like I said, I wish I'd given it more of a chance in the past.
I like that it's so LGBT+ supportive, with all the different items with different flags, and I'm sure they'll add even more flags that they don't already have here. And some of the NPCs being LGBT+ as well, altough I wish that was brought up more often to remind us, since it's often hard to find and easy to forget.
I will admit when I first heard of Subeta, I largely didn't want anything to do with this site because I hated the avatar bases. I also heard it was primarily a pet site which I had 0 interest in and still don't. Though, I took more part in the site because of my beloved partner who was/is very active, also convinced me to try making more avatars to match with her. I'm still here to this day mainly because of the CW community. I love that subeta allows it's users to create and submit their own items letting us be able to express ideas we have without waiting on baited breath on the chance staff will release something we like. No where else have I seen a site give it's users such a luxury that wasn't behind a gacha or massive paywall.
I also love the people that make up this community because without them, I would have never gotten to meet such awesome and wonderful individuals. Such an array of different personalities but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm forever thankful to the friendship they've given me and courage to be more vocal.
I play regularly on 2 other petsites as well as Subeta, and, hands down, there is NO OTHER SITE THAT CARES ABOUT ITS PLAYERS LIKE SUBETA DOES!!! The art, the events, the people, the special perks and sudden, unexpected surprises. Subeta is like no other. Add to the mix a very caring staff and super (even tho) nutty people and LONG LIVE SUBETA. I hope Subeta lasts another 1000 years.
The art and sheer variety and amount of items is unmatched by any other pet site in my opinion.
for how diminished subeta is now compared to when i first joined in 200(...7? 8? i don't remember anymore), it has fared substantially better than most early neopets-era competitors, and i love the walks down memory lane every year that i log in and fuss about to take in the new features and revamped art. just like the other petsite-like that i use, i can see that subeta is struggling to keep up with a new and rapidly-progressing internet, squatting on nearly two decades of spaghetti code, and i'm honestly deeply fascinated that despite all of that, it's still trucking forward.
to see it truly embrace its userbase, to loudly and openly embrace pride where even other sites i've played failed to do despite much the same audience? that fills me with a bit of pride myself, i'm really happy to see that being myself here after all the growth i've done and all the bigotry i've left behind won't be met with the same 2009-era humor i used to revel in when i first joined here.
man, i love subeta. one of the last refuges of childhood for me.

One thing I love about Subeta is the nostalgia. Not much about the pet site has changed in my opinion - but does my opinion really matter? Even after 17 years, I still find myself drawn back to Subeta every year for a trip down memory lane to simpler times when I was still carefree.
YAY SUBETA POSITIVITY THREAD YAY
I love this site, even though I barely play it anymore. There's a lot I could say, but I'll really just focus on the fact that I'm SO GLAD Subeta lets us be so creative! Being able to upload our own wearable items?! Super cool!! Customizing the heck out of our pet profiles?! Oh yeah, baby!! Subeta is a wellspring of talented, creative people, and I love that we're encouraged to BE creative by participating in the CW system or making pets spotlight-ready.
...Okay, I'll say one more thing. The food items here? God. Pretty drawings of food should not make me so hungry, but they DO. Subeta artists, if you're out there reading this, thank you for bringing so many worldwide cuisines to this site so I can drool over them, lmao.
