Er... Clothing Rack.
Wear these pins to show your allegiance to Keith! Or Cyde, if you're lame..
Go Keith!
^Oh, Cyde wanted to say Hi.
Quetzal: HEY. THAT'S NOT NICE.
A new trivia question has been added!
The Oracle has decided it was not safe for her to just take quests from any random pet.
So, she now gives out quests in Random Events! Her prizes are also a little better now :)
It seems as if the magical twinkle in the eyes of the Hula Hula Girl has disappeared. It looks like you'll have to wait until the next Coconut Festival to give one to your pet. :(
Admin War Update!
Which team are you on? Well, now on your profiles, the banner of your team will show! Let's all support our leaders! ^___^
The Food Shop is selling these new spices for you to spice up your meals!
A new trivia question has been added!
There seems to be some confusion about how to deal with the problem that occurred earlier today.
If you managed to get any of the items, delete them asap, to avoid being frozen. We can track these items, and will do so. If in a few days, the items are still in existence, we will freeze anyone involved with them, so please do not try to skirt the rules by hiding them in friends accounts or anything like that. We see everything.
If you have used an item, like an elixir or potion, then please mail one assistant admin, or user admin once and wait for a reply. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. If you mail more than one staff member, or if you do not wait for a reply, then expect to get an official warning.
If you have read a book to your pet, or eaten some food, or anything like that, once again mail a staff member, it will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
If you have sold one of these items. Try and balance your sP. Buy something from someones shop worth the same amount, and then delete that item.
If you have bought one of these items, it is up to you whether or not to delete it. If you feel guilty then you can, but you will not be refunded. Otherwise, as long as you paid a fair price you may keep the item. As I said, we can track these items, and will do so for a number of weeks, so do not think that selling an item to a friend will allow you to keep it.
There will not be a rollback, do not suggest it, do not discuss it. It will not happen.
This incident was caused by a group of users. We have reason to believe they are the ones who stood to profit the most from the donations. If you have any information, then please mail an admin to offer assistance. But ONLY if you can help us pin down who was responsible.
The subeta staff do acknowledge that a lot of innocent people are caught up in this. We apologise. This is partly our fault for allowing this to happen, but as I said, it was instigated by a group of users.
This matter is now closed. Any further protests or discussions will result in warnings for all involved.
Okay, so here's the lowdown: the recent mass donation from the 'SubetaTeam' wasn't supposed to happen, and in short, this was an error.
So, YOU MUST DELETE ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE SUBETATEAM VIA THE DONATION CENTER. If you do not, we assure you, YOU WILL BE FROZEN without prior notice (except for this one).
The Food Market now sells Cookie Cheesecakes to make your pet super happy!
All mods are now user-admins. Feel free to ask the previous user-admins how to do this job (or comment here with questions) if you are confused.
This should make the forums MUCH cleaner, as well as making it easier for us to catch cheaters, freeze/warn people, etc.
The new ticket admin is done!
There isn't much to seperate from the old one, except that there isn't a WHOLE PAGE of closed tickets. However, I hope to add more to it. (also, times have been added to the original ticket, and comments)
Note: There is one change. That is that certain staff levels can access certain level of tickets. For example, only user admins and up can access the Bugs. (because what is an artist going to do about a bug?) Most of the categorys however, are avaible to all staff.
Any suggestions, would be helpful.
All Tickets have been cleared.
The closed tickets were piling up, and a better way to deal with tickets has been devoloped.
I just want opinions from the Mods and User Admins.
How would you feel if I combined the two jobs? So mods could give warnings, freeze accounts, find cheaters, etc, and User Admins can moderate the jobs.
All moderators would be moved to User Admins.
Try finding this avatar!
Note: There was an error when I added this avatar, that a few people got it when they shoudln't have! I deleted it from those users, so if you got it, you have to find it again!
The Toy Box just released a new line of Dragarth Plushies! Go there now to grab one of own!
