Daily Support Goal!

I just put up a new page: the Daily Support Goal. It's the (very, very) long version of the little bar on the news page, and it's the honest account of what it costs to run Subeta in 2026 and how close to the line we actually are. If you've ever wondered how a site like this keeps the lights on, that page is me answering it. Please read it!

And to support the goals on the page, two updates went up alongside it. Cash Shop Collections has its own page now, so you can browse every monthly collection going back to 2006 and either buy the sealed set or pick the one item you want out of it. For this week only you can browse and choose from every week, when the sale is over it goes back to being just the ones released in the current month.

And Billboards got rebuilt with a banner maker, so you can design your very own drag and drop 480x90 ad right in the browser instead of uploading one. Please, make something weird and fun!

For one week, both are on sale. Every collection is open right now, all the way back to 2006 👨‍🦳, and all but June 2026 are 100 CSC each. Billboards are 75% off on every size. The sale ends Sunday, and the prices and the collection selection go back on their own.

If the goal page makes the case to you, the sale is the easy way to help but there are lots of other suggestions on the page. Bump your old bug reports (they're getting fixed!) and make those suggestion threads.

me! in 2026, still clutching that Kumos plushie 💗

And yes, Masquerade is this month - more toward the middle. Hopefully you understand from the page why dates have been more flexible the last few years.

Not thrilled about the lack of transparency about the AI use (until it was called out) but... I think others have covered that one.

https://subeta.net/cs/collections.php?view=wishlist ^ this is AWESOME, I love this. This is soooo helpful. idk how much use I'll be getting out of it since tbh I don't currently feel comfortable spending money on this site, but I love it and I hope the site gets back to the stage where I'm happy to throw money at it so I can get more use out of it :) Two nitpicks: It'd be even better if you could add items to cart on this page? I like to make a big shopping list and then slowly whittle it down so that'd be even more useful. Also when you do buy an item, it yeets you to the top of the page and shows what you've bought - that's awesome BUT the item image is just an image not the <- thing where you can delete it from your wishlist etc (IDK how to phrase this sorry) - it'd be cool if it had an option to delete it from your wishlist right there. Not a huge deal but it'd just be a little bit more convenient lol

It really took going through and tagging them all so they could be on this page, and then I did a bunch of work a few weeks ago to get all of the transformable items working in the wardrobe (they transform in the wardrobe, you only need one copy there now!) that made it easy to pop that on this page. It's all coming together!!

I'm failing to see where Keith has used the bad AI. If you read what he wrote, you'll find that he wrote the equivalent to a personal script bot that runs on THIS website's database, that pulls from THIS website's information, to generate rough copies of information based on a request. This kind of thing has been used for years, and he even is reducing any impact of the power it takes by using solar power. It's the moral equivalent of using CTRL + F in a document you wrote. Using google search the past few years is worse than what he's been doing. If you hate all instances of AI use, then that's fine, but it's been incredibly useful for science & medicine, especially in the realm of disease detection, because labs have their own models trained on proper datasets in a similar way that's being done here.

Anyway.

I'm not usually a change liker (and some cosmetic changes to some of the games aren't my fave, but I'll get used to them in favor of everything functioning better!) but I'm really stoked to see a lot of the new ones. I feel way more invested in the site than I have been the past few years, though I still tried to visit at least to do my dailies every day. I'm most excited about new warddrobe features, but there are other areas drawing me in too! I'm hoping to contribute in some way this summer <3

yeah, I forgot the percentage amount, but I definitely bought more during that time because it was better for me.

I can't remember - was that you got an extra 20 or 25% CSC for purchasing new CSC on one weekend a month? And we had a bonus item that you got that wekeend too, right?

June 8, 2026, 9:41 pm by Karasu

I just read it all and would it help if you brought back the CSCbonus weekend? I used to spend extra money there, but even without a newitem, I think we both could benefit from the bonus ❤ 💙

All of the previous months will still have their items even after the sale, you just won't be able to buy them ;)

We have - and I think I'm going to do a little bit more work toward that soon. We're going to change the subscriptions when I move then over from new.subeta.net to have the monthly item be a currency instead of the item (which messes up a lot), and might add 3/6 month options at the same time.

You don't know me and don't get to decide for me what will or won't make me happy. I'm not ripping you apart, I'm telling you to inform people. Your users DESERVE to know what you're requesting their support on. Let your users decide what is appropriate for them. They deserve the opportunity to make their own choices based on information presented. Don't hide the info in the forums or in the news comments, make it an ACTUAL news post so the most eyes will see it.

I've been on Subeta long enough to know that if you don't make this a news post, it'll get swept. You'll earn far more of the respect you crave if you're actually shouting over this instead of whispering in the corner. I'm one person in a sea of many, my guy.

The page has a 'where the money goes' section, that outlines where the money goes. I'm not sure I can make it more clear than that, and I agree that folks have been asking for these details for a long time, which is why I'm posting this page. Lots of people get lots of value from the connection in the forums and with their friends (as you can see in these comments 🥰 🥰 🥰) and I'm showing people what it costs to run, including having someone dedicated to running the site entirely for free in their free time for 20+ years.

I honestly don't think you're going to be happy with anything that I say, so for others you can look here and form your own opinion to me responding to something publicly that I've talked about a lot. I really think this situation in particular (with content related to subeta, on a subeta wiki) is different than what is being framed, but again I totally understand anyone reading it and either wanting more details or being turned off by it. I am not hiding it, and if I were I woudln't be responding publicly / responding to comments in the news.

I'm going to crash out lmao. How are you going from admitting to using gen AI after getting caught 'accidentally' scraping from other people's websites to this in less than 24 hours??

You need to be transparent with what this money you're collecting is funding and let people decide if that's actually where they want to put their money???!?!?!??! Am I losing my mind?? lmao

Oh I also just realized I can't see my wishlisted items on the main collections page! Only after I click into a collection does it show. Adding that feature would really help out too.

I've been considering a subscription for a small bit now(I'm still extremely new to Subeta, but I greatly enjoy it right now), but I'm one of those people that does the yearly subscriptions for game related things I am subscribed to. Have you considered making this or something similar an option? Could do 3mo, 6mo, a year alongside the monthly options currently available?

I'm SO GLAD I can actually see what's in these bundles now!!!! Daaang! Phew. What a relief for an outstanding problem this site has had.

That said, I would love to see the ability to at least preview all of the months stick around (rather than just be a thing for this little event), so I can plan my budget around it. As it is I'd about have to make an entire spreadsheet and I just don't have the energy for it.

I wouldn't really call myself an active user anymore... but I'm still happy to fork over my ten bucks every month to help keep the site running. I'm excited to see the new changes now that you've canceled Kumos, because to be totally honest man I HATED the Kumos site so much lol. Thank you for the new Collection page redesign! That will make things so much easier!

Keith, I genuinely appreciate the transparency and the effort to revitalize subeta. As the person paying to keep the style-file lights on, I understand the finances-to-use ratio analysis of it all. Thanks for beign honest about the struggles but also highlighting the work you and the team are putting in to maintain it.

a good reminder for me to turn my sub back on I personally really appreciate this level of transparency. Even though I don't get to play as actively as I'd like, this site has still given me so many years of entertainment that a subscription feels like the least I can do in return.

Also quick question, will the Hoilday Schedule page be updated too? Since the Masquerade didn't happen in May?

omg I know I saw a glimpse of the plush and thought it was brought back and I was gonna scream 🥲

Anyway, I like seeing the breakdown and having a spotlight on it. It kind of made me feel slightly better to see it addressed because I'm embarrassed to say that I feel dread every time I see the goal not being met because this is my escape away from real life lmao. I give when I can and will continue whenever I get the chance. Thanks Keith and the rest of staff for keeping this site around for over two decades and hopefully many years to come💗

the dramatic journey of thinking you need to rebuild subeta from the ground up, then coming full circle to acceptance and updating the original with a renewed life force sounds exactly like something that would make an excellent, licensable, documentary mini series 😉

I've only been on here since 2008 and to be honest not that long ago I was wondering what in the world I would do without subeta. I'm so glad to hear that it will outlive me. Thank you Keith for keeping the lights on somehow and keeping us informed. We all have our hobbies, right? Mine are yarn and subeta. Thank you again and again. Maybe even one more time. :D

What a nice pic with a very real subeta pet I'd wish for subeta to last as long as possible This last weeks were update after update after update, I was susprised, honest, about how much updates were being implemented, I didn't know it was because the kumos project was cancelled (WHAT?) I though it was because, in bulding kumos, a new way to upate the legacy site along the kumos one, on synergy has been found.
