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

I get them a lot. I have a lot of environmental allergies
I still have a headache, but the edge is gone
Thank you Moony! My head is feeling better because I took two Tylenol extra strength. Sometimes they can turn into a migraine and those suck hard-core
asks for a 5 million sp item. Lol no
does a Maybel quest
Yeah can confirm, no more kissing booths as Survival is done.
Yay jean!
Aw, my bathhouse streak got reinstated, thank you! <3
I hope you feel better soon, headaches are the worst T_T
Oh, ok. I was thinking "I need to rejoin but I can't" lol. I'll be ok. I have a headache
i think survival is over so the booths are technically closed, the only thing going at the moment is auto-kissing which will stop
And I keep getting logged out of Kumos
But I left my booth and I can't rejoin lol
oh ok thanks guys. for a minute I thought i did something wrong and couldn't get in
Folks turned on the auto kissing, and those are still running š they'll slowly expire!
They'll be able to keep kissing until they close the booths page then if they try to go back they won't be able to reopen it.
Same Lorax. Survival Forums are locked so you can't go to the booths or anything. I assume those people had the booths open in a tab and haven't closed them so they still have access.
I'm confused here. I'm still getting events telling me I was kissed by someone in the booth and also getting candy but I can't access the booth. what's up with that?
What will happen with the Survival Challengers?
Lost my 150+ day bathhouse streak, ouch ><
I can't wait for the 5 secs cool down to be removed from Legacy too...
Site is running so smoothly today

Winter is very hard on me.
