Shoutbox š£
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 wasā¦ 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

Good night
Good night, sb friends! Y'all are a nice bunch :)
Good night and thank you again
There ya go, I hope you get a lot of good stuff =] I guess I'll be responsible and try to sleep now. G'night Vex and SB
No problem, really ^^
I really appreciate it. Thank You
These things are just sitting in my vault collecting pixelated dust, you'll put them to far better use than I am.
Are you sure you don't want anything in return? Friend away!
I don't want anything, just for them to go to someone that will use them. I'll have to friend you to send them though.
Oh wow thank you. I would trade you for them just let me know what you'd like in return
It's only 1030 here. I'm waiting on my sleep medications to kick in lol
Oooh, Vex! Since you're collecting food items, if you need Lounge trinkets for the Libertine Lounge, let me know. I have a lot cause i don't use them.
It's 1:30am here, I should be going to sleep š
Evening all. I hope everyone had a good day.
I was apparently just...not hitting the save button ā ļø
I didn't even change mine. I make it a few day ago
Yours is so cute, Emmie!
I...just figured out what i was doing wrong with mine too ^^;;
My hover HA has changed to Vesnali one now
I just want to be able to see my avatar no matter where I'm scrolling while I'm building or editing them. You can in the new one, but the image is so small.
I prefer the old wardrobe. The new one has too much distracting stuff in it that I have no interested in.
I've gotten into watching wuxia lately, the stories are so good T~T
Mine seems to be okay. Just use the old one
I'm scared to try changing my avatar since I dunno how the new wardrobe works
The HA on your hover isn't updating, but the link showed your outfit. I've had that same issue, Emmie.
I just sent in a ticket. My wardrobe is all forked over too
it's not showing the outfit for my contest entry?
It is really cute with purple hair!
yeah. it's been doing it forever
Is it the new beta one? I know Keith had been working on it, so it is possible it has a glitch still that was missed.
all my outfits are wrong. The one I'm trying to save has 2 eye set even though 1 is hidden and behind the backdrop. it's not being saved either
What trouble are you having? Maybe we can help.
the new wardrobe is f'n useless
Very welcome ^ ^ Thought you might need some if it's been a while since you were on last.
Ty for the flowers druidheart! The coins have obtained me the vesnali long lurbies
Greetings =]
Wowza, finally got my login back. Hi y'all
