hi! I'm vao, and I just started here yesterday and woah gotta say-- I'm pretty impressed by everything. though I do have one question? the site seems to load (every page except for the shop search page) really slow. is that the case for most people or is it my server?

anyway, feel free to add me as a friend, I'd love to chat :)

- Hi there Vao! Welcome to Subeta! The slowness may be due to lag, the site has an issue with that. However, it hasn't been too bad for me today, but who knows. (Other than the forums, those are always super slow for me). Anyway, nice to meet you! Feel free to message me if you have any questions, or just want to chat! Oh, I'm Ira by the way! :D

you even get notified when mentioned, that sure is a nice feature haha ahh well that explains it then! thanks for replying ^^ nice to meet you too Ira! I'll add you as a friend, if you don't mind :) not really sure how the whole chatting thing works? is there a chatting thing? haha

- Oh yeah, that's a nice function! I would always forget to check the forums if it didn't ping me to them! I don't mind at all (I'll accept after I finish writing this)! Oh, we have two ways to chat with people privately, or, sort of privately. So, we hae comments, which are technically profile comments, which is what most people use to talk to others. It's quick and easy, and doesn't require a subject line. They are however, technically public, though most people don't have them on their profiles. They can still be found by anyone who wants to look. So, if you're sharing something that you absolutely don't want someone to find out about (say a suprise), don't use the comments. Then you have sMail. It's a little more formal and requires a subject line. These are private, so only the person you send it to can see it. Hope that helpes!

I'm doing pretty ok so far now, haha

thanks a bunch for the links :)
