Thank you, Mogel. Oddly, I meant to post something similar to this before. I love the trading cards especially; much like real sports cards they're a history of all of the major "players" here. I collect Staff items, as do a good number of the people that I know; I've even had people ask me when the next pickled Staffie is coming out because they collect them. (Although I think that some of them really just want to feed some of us to their pets... ).

I agree with both sides on this issue, I believe we should tone down the staff items, so we can get other items out on the site. But i do not believe it makes us look full of ourselves. The site is ran by us. So it would only make sense to have things that have our names or our personal affectations. This is our home. And theirs. I would put it to the users and see what THEY think before i would stop though. I agree i think everyone likes these things.

Oh and about the staff leaving and or getting fired and or going away. This happens. But when you have these items its almost like a history book. Think about it this way. They can think back to when this person or that person was a staff member. History is good for a petsite to have.

My Carnival Plushie never got made either is sad, sits drinking herbal tea from her lonely little mug as it's her only Staff possession

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I forgot about those... :x

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I want our carnival plushies to get added. They were so lovely ...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I dunno, I kinda like staff items. I haven't been pulling my weight lately, and I'd love to prove my worth by attempting to help finish the current set of plushies if anyone wants o_O; pokes Debilee

STIJN YOU ICON ALWAYS MAKES ME THINK "ROTATING TOASTER" o.o

Cards shouldn't be an issue.

The ones about users have those names because they were major players and well-known in Subeta. =P

Funny that just a little after this post's made, someone says in a comment on a news post:

"Not the hugest fan of festers.....but they should make staff puppets"

Hehe.

Oddly, for some reason I didn't put Falc's name on the custom that I got for him, but I did put Stijn's on his. I think that it was actually because Falc already had a quill with his name on and there was a regular pokey stick, though. I like Falc items (and Stijn as well ); I collect them, as well as Staff items in general (and Evil's otems). I think that madhatter would be extremely disappointed if there were no more Keith items.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeah, I personally hate seeing my name on items. I want to take my name off that quill too. I also have 2 plushies which might not be fair to other staff members looking for a slot. AND A MUG, AND A CARD. I'M EVERYWHERE. 😭

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

edit: I've only got a mug and pickled me. Rest is customs

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I totally understand.

BUT

Keith Stuff is part of Subeta =x

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

x3 there aren't any items of me.. there isn't a mug, a plushie.. or me in pickled...

As broken said.. I guess making them retired is a good idea. x3
We could just do he pickled and mug ones.. o_0 wants a mug

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'd honestly hate to lose staff items. I can understand toning it down a bit, but it helps boost staff morale (which is important) and a lot of users honestly do enjoy them and hoard them.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't have a plushie or a pickledform of me yet. I'd like those, then that's it, I'll order a custom if I want a special item about me. XP

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hmm, ok. I've never seen any of those boards, so sorry about that ^^

Maybe you've heard more about it than any of us have Keith, but in all honesty I dont think the users mined staff items o.o

Yes, some user made a post about it on the forums a while back.

Oh, I'm not protesting to anything. But I have a reply to:

If this involves users (ignore this if it doesn't), who cares? I mean, this isn't THEIR site, they don't run it and they don't work as much as we do; if they have a problem with it, they better learn to deal with it, or they can leave.... they're not much of a loss anyway.

Maybe you've heard more about it than any of us have Keith, but in all honesty I dont think the users mined staff items o.o I've only seen people say how much they love them. Some of them have galleries dedicated entirely to the staff memebers, or certain ones, or you. But if the privilage is taken away.. i'd really like to see all the current staff get plushies (and anyone else that joins. sense it wouldnt be very fair to them.) And like deb suggested, we could just retire the item if the quit, just like the retired. xD We work for no real money and at least almost never complain about things, I think all of us are entilted to at least one speical item on the site.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh! I almost forgot, I was also supposed to be pickled (I was the Dark Matter Staffie and was going to be holding my little dog), but those are Trivia prizes; I really don't think that anyone minds those. Hehe how apropos, I just found an mbif collectable mug in the trash can!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I also would like to protest if this includes the Staff plushies. I requested mine many months ago (and several times thereafter) and to date to my knowledge I don't think that anyone has drawn it. (There were two different artists who were going to, but they both quit.) Also, when I inquired about my trading card (before the restart), I was told that I had to wait until the new trading card trophies were released... but they never were, but at least six-eight staff members have had cards added since then. And I recently (within the past few weeks) had asked about it again, and was actually told that it would be added this time, but it wasn't. (It was supposed to be going to be either a light bluish one like Bob's or the purplish one. I would have actually liked a pink one, but we don't seem to have those ).
We could retire the items if someone leaves, or replace them with other items in special cases (like the avanteguard mug).

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

nods A few here and there are well and good ? like the collectible mugs, plushies, that sort of thing ? but it ought to be kept to that.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I know it was never intended to come across this way at all, but coming from a newbie around here, at first to me it did seem a little self gratifying to have so many in jokes and staffer items floating around.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeah, I was hoping we could finish our theme ones..
But you're right, it does seem a little self obsessed.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Maybe we could just finish up for those who don't have plushies/pickled, then no more staffie stuff. A few items are fine and fun, but we can't have an overload.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Gotcha, Keith.

I completely understand the reasoning behind this. salute

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Totally understandable. xD <3

We do have crudloads of staff-related items floating about. o_O

Is it okay if I finish off the set of Pickled Staff Members though? bats eyelashes I'd hate to like.. feel like peeps had been left out.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I found out about Sooki after I posted this, but there are other deserving staff without plushies

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sooki does have something of her own.

May I ask about staff birthdays? Should we just make a news post instead?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What about like Plushies? Because, its really not fair that some staff have plushies and others don't. For example, I have my own plushie, and I do very little work (hate to admit it but its true) and Sooki works her tail end off and doesn't have one.
