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

Ah...ok. Got it. Thank you very much
i sent the link. I dont know if that allowed. I never use SB before this last week.
..Oh. ok
I use subetalodge
How do I find out what these 'strains' look like?
Mine have been reset too. I stopped at 10 library quests cause I can't remember how many I dud before it reset. Won't do anymore quests
Yup, just checked and mine have been reset too.
yeah they still show 0 on the sidebar but when i clicked on carl it says 0/15 but i completed them all before noon.
i Did all of them on Kumos which are still done. Did all Legacy. They all reset to 0 except battle and drills.
Or at least thatās my experience.
Quests arenāt showing how many you did.
um. The quests reset. I did them all this morning but they are back to 0. Is this an error??
I have not been active enough to even notice
Oh dang. Looks like we are seasonless.
The MC isn't currently registering that we're still in the Winter season, I don't think
It's almost Spring. I should check the MC for stuff. I think I need to go over the foods
yes it is working.
typing is
tyyping is
Is this working?

-tosses-
tfw your gold account passes away. this is sosig
Two years? Is that how long I've been dodging Kumos as much as possible? nervous laugh
I'll make an announcement at some point! Lots of things in flight rn :)
They've been on Kumos for two years - I'm moving features that are unique to Kumos (labels, the forum points) to the main site.
What are the award points for on the forums? Will you be making an announcement about them to explain?
Heart-attack! :D
That was so quick!
yay!
and we're back!
Oh wow! Yeah :0
I'm getting a white screen on legacy.
oh god did legacy just go down
c:
yup!
Should I file a ticket for my free fully mature Hook< I got the alert yesterday, checked today and I dont have it and have none. It did use one of my free virus though.
Ooh okay. Thank you Keith. I'm an avid restocker and haven't seen any rares in the shops I usually check. So I hope that it eventually goes back to working normally again. :3
i do think RSing is still kinda wonky rn, but it was much more painful when it wasnt happening at all! šāāļø
I did make some tweaks to the restocking (when I had to get it working again!) but it shouldn't have been anything drastic. I think the clearing code might not have been running correctly, which means shops "fill up" and can't add more items, like those rares!
