the shoutbox is a legendary subeta institutionāitās been part of the site since practically day one. we shut it down a few years ago bc the legacy codebase was, frankly, a trash fire, and running live chat on it was⦠letās just say āa challenge.ā but guess what? ITāS BACK. better than ever, powered by our shiny new live thread functionality.
letās take a little stroll down memory lane. did you know one of the first customizations on subeta was shoutbox backgrounds? back in the day, if you wanted one, you didnāt buy it or unlock it. no, you had to be friends with me to get one. š
(look at all these OG shoutbox backgroundsāpure chaos. mine are BAD) you can click this link and change the sb_keith.gif to any of these to see them. they're.... very of their time
the shoutbox was more than just a chat; it was a cultural moment. drama started there, ended there, and sometimes just looped infinitely. this was back when everyone was online all the time, so no tiny slight went unexamined. if someone so much as typoed, the shoutbox would light up. iconic.
sadly, i donāt have exact records of when the shoutbox first launched. our archives only go back to 2010 bc of a massive code meltdown that basically wiped everything before that.

(this is the āfirstā commit for subetaāanything earlier is lost to time and bad coding practices. rip.)
but even in 2014, the shoutbox was still evolving:

(fun fact: frozen users were once able to use the shoutbox. not on purpose š)
now, hereās the plan: iām testing live threads as the new shoutbox format. why? bc itās so much betterāactual forum posts with history, easy moderation, and you can view it outside the tiny sidebar. plus, in a few days hopefully, iāll add a widget for a more familiar vibe. welcome to shoutbox 2.0. š

thanks im gonna send a ticket
you could send a ticket or if you're in discord contact Keith there maybe the cron is still slow
so my virus hasn't progress at all and i've tried doing the whole healer thingie but the healer only showed me virus that i already have, what should i do uwu
Me neither.
I haven't touched Kumos much in days xD
kumos is buttery smooth and quick, which is a plus :')
I have like 90 items clogging my inventory because I can't feed them to my food achievo pet :')
Not to mention that with pet hunger broken, I would also -really- like to be able to use appetite renewal again too. That's also still broken/hasn't reset
heres hoping!
I really would like to resume saving for my MC pet slot lol, so hopefully it'll get fixed today
same hat, rawnie! loll
legacy quests still haven't reset ):
Unfortunately, quests have -still- not reset
Darn, lag is back.
Oi, I'm glad the thread I made still went through despite the fact I got a blank page when I went to post it
Ok great, thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasnāt nuts lol I forget quests occasionally but I was so confused at first lol
A tad annoying because I want them in the resort so I don't have to scroll through them to feed my food achievo pet
At least some are; others are at 10/10
Uhhhhh..... my pets are hungry despite being in the resort
The quests have not reset today so even if the Wizard is a Wizard I'm sure you didn't do them. LOL
nope, I think they didn't reset correctly last night due to the downtime :( they will tonight!
I have memory issues so maybe thatās it but I am pretty sure I didnāt do all wizard quests today š
Am I crazy, or is the wizard at 15/15 quests even though I donāt remember doing them all today? I feel like I just finished Shinwa quests and I donāt think I even got wizard quests for her
How odd, I activated the Shoutbox on Kumos and the reaction wasn't awarded.
Hello!! I've missed the shoutbox so much
Has this been here the whole time and I've never noticed...?
I can't ping a user in the fourms. It won't work when I click ping user
It only did it to a handful and some others were fine, so kinda strange
i'm on firefox and it looks like mine have their correct stat readied
oh i can fix that!
uffda, thats two kinda biggies
Like, didn't it remove the option to train in stats that are "too high"?
Okay though, one gripe with training. It doesn't automatically switch to the next "valid" stat, so I keep getting "you can't train pets in a stat that's more than 2.5x their level"
is there a way to know the kiss cooldown without having to refresh the page and click again?
At least we have the resort to help with the feeding thing. Though I do also understand if people don't want to do that lol (and it's annoying when I get a new pet since I want to keep them all in together so I have to wait to put the pet in there)
i thought about suggesting the ability to just hide guys entirely from lists you dont want them in (feed, read, train etc) but idk seems only important to people who want 200 pets like me
Now pinning specific pets on specific pages would be something I would be fine with as long as the general order on like, the pets page would be fine
Yep that's pretty much how mine are ordered. My head world story is set up in "arcs" and they're organized by arc
lilbabyfatarms is the funniest fuckin name
Shoutbox is back?!?! T.T Wonderful
