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

It feels like Thursday. It was a short week because of a holiday Monday. I'm counting down the days till school is done lol
aaaa......
It's Wednesday my dudes.
hello everyone :)
good morning!
Doing pretty well but wish it was less hot here. How about you?
Hi hi, how ya do?
Morning SB. Morning Druid
Morning SB
Has anyone seen Merana in the past month or so (if she hasn't changed)? I've been waiting and checking daily and haven't seen her since before April. I have a pet I wanna make Hydrus :(
hi! is the site lagging for you too, or is it just me?
are they added to your currencies, Flame? i'd file a ticket if you don't remember what your token balance was before clicking to exchange them.
Uh, I clicked to exchange my wizard tokens and got a page that said " Oh No! Cheater cheater pumpkin eater!" ... but my tokens are gone from my inventory, anyone know what that is about?
I made a topic in the bug forums instead of a ticket as it seemed more appropriate.
Keith has been updating like mad the past few months, lol
Yeah I think I'll shoot them a ticket. And yeah! The colored hover cards are pretty new. Very snazzy!
Huh, didn't know that was a thing
hover card?
I feel like they're unlocked automatically, Chin, but submitting a ticket couldn't hurt.
I'm not sure if I should submit a ticket or not but I had a lilac pet for a day or (Zapped it to lilac) and then today just zapped it to marsh but remembered I could get a lilac hover card but it's not unlocked? Did I need to visit the page with the pet or was it a glitch and I was supposed to get it without having to visit it?
Good luck on your battles, Blaine! I'm doing well, getting pretty sleepy myself. Storms tonight make for good rest =]
The berries themselves are small, maybe half the size of a blueberry, and are burgundy/dark reddish purple when ripe. They grow on trees in small bunches. The trees are used as landscaping plants because of their flowers in the spring.
How about you? How are you doing, besides the jam?
You're welcome! I'm about to go to bed after getting some battles done
- What do Juneberries look like? I'm intrigued by their use as landscaping plants with an edible berry
Haha, thank you ^ ^ How's everyone?
That's amazing Druid!
They are. This is my first time making jam too, I think it turned out well ^ ^
That sounds fantastic
They're delicious, like a mix between cherry, blueberry, and almond flavor. They're a native tree in my area and tend to get used as landscaping plants.
Oo that sounds good. Ive never had juneberry
That sounds delicious Druid!
I made juneberry jam tonight ^ ^
I am going to be here for forever categorizing my gallery lol
auto auto pricer got a giggle out of me
Oh Ok Thank you :)

Where do you find the garden? It's been so long since I've really played this game lol
Liking the new adjustments to the garden, now I can look at others gardens too!
