Although we say this everytime the Cash Shop is brought down, some users insist on doing it anyway:
IF THE CASH SHOP IS DOWN WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING DONATIONS VIA PAYPAL. IF YOU SEND US A DIRECT PAYMENT WITHOUT USING THE CASH SHOP YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR ORDER.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND US PAYMENTS IF THE CASH SHOP IS DOWN. Many users realize if our method of accepting payment is down we aren't accepting payment.
If you are otherwise missing an order, please follow these steps:
If your order was sent via PayPal:
Smail me (ONLY me unless asked to do otherwise):
1. What you're missing
2. Your exact purchase date
3. The email address attached to your PayPal account
If your order was sent via snail mail:
Your order will not be counted as "missing" unless it was sent 1 month ago from within the US or 2 months from outside the US. Average delivery takes 3 days - 2 weeks from within the US, 2 weeks to a month from outside the US, though this may vary.
If your order IS missing, please smail the staff member you sent it to and include:
Your address
Your name
What you ordered
When you sent your order
How you paid

Thank you.

By now -- if you don't know already -- there's a bit of a war going on in the beautiful, usually peaceful land of Subeta. Why, you ask? The answer to that is simple. We'll take the time, now, to explain it to you as best we can.
What is Longcat?
The answer to this question is simple! Longcat is looooong. But where did Longcat come from -- and why is everyone so up-in-arms about this feline novelty? Well, Longcat can thank, for its beautiful existence, 2chan. [more information on 2chan can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2chan]. Since its inception, Longcat has spread throughout the Internet like wildfire, reaching even the furthest corners of the globe with its looooooongness. It is a particular favorite of the members of 4chan [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4chan] who have taken it on as one of their many [favorite] meme's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme] and use it as a sort of mascot. Yet Longcat's infamy is far-reaching! You will find his likeness all throughout the Web.
So why is Subeta under attack for its use, if it's used so widely? Well, there was -- and is -- a misconception that one had to pay actual money to be able to receive the Longcat item. There is even the fallacy that -- with a Gold [or paid] account -- it would be much easier to procure a Longcat for ones wardrobe. Now, we here at Subeta know this not to be true, so as a gesture of good faith, we made the Longcat massively available in our Giveaway, so that everyone had equal opportunity to get a Longcat to call their own in the easiest way possible. The Donation Corner. Again, this caused the members of 4chan [known generally as Anonymous] to become aggravated, as they did not at first understand that the Donation Corner was not Donations for the site, but for the users. Even after this was cleared up, the members had already taken personal affront to its usage and decided to increase the strength of their attacks.
At some stage, someone -- we do not know who -- took it upon themselves to make it look as if we had attacked their website in Subeta's name. An attack that we are investigating. Of course, this led to even more anger directed toward us.
Now, while we can sympathize with them wanting to ensure that their beloved Longcat was not used for profit, even after it was made abundantly clear through our efforts, they continued to attack and harass us, even going so far as to threaten lives. They have posted personal information that would enable their users to actually cause physical harm and harassment. There have been hundreds of threatening phone calls made in just the past 24 hours alone! The attackers even go so far as to insult their own site's host by posting information that could be -- and is -- legally damaging to him without regard to this.
Their attentions, if they were truly worried about Longcat being tarnished by personal gain, should have been placed on other sites that actually do profit from Longcat. Longcat merchandise can be found throughout the Internet. Anywhere from T-Shirt companies, to Art websites -- Longcat has -- and is -- being used for actual personal gain at these places. Yet they focused their efforts on Subeta.
Why, you ask? To be quite honest, we do not know. All we can do is what we have been doing. Their efforts -- while guised in strength and nobility -- are hardly that. They hide behind the face of Anonymity, because they know that they cannot be reached. Yet we stand strong and proud, not backing down, not hiding. This is true strength. This is true nobility.
Please be aware that these attackers know where the real heart of Subeta is, within our players. Do not follow any outside Subeta links without extreme caution. There is something known as phishing going around, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing, where the attackers hope to gain access to our users' accounts. The following is one such link, even in your deepest morbid curiosity, do not click on it, it is simply to educate. serve.quake.com/sub.eta/seb.uta-.58.ht.ml. If you come upon any links like that, do not fall for them. The link at the top must start with subeta.org.
The answer is not as simple as "removing the item" as many of you think it is. That would never have worked, unfortunately. They would have focused their attentions elsewhere on the site and gone after that until nothing was left. We hope that you understand this. The Subeta Staff, from the bottom of our hearts, apologize to you -- our users, our family -- for having to be exposed to this unnecessary, pointless war and thank you most sincerely for standing strong with us through this. We will continue to fight for you, as we have been.

Hi everyone! There are some people who would like to ruin this time of celebration (our massive giveaway!) by posting horrible things on the forums, comments, etc.
The UAs are working as hard as they can to control this, just remember to report threads you see with this, send them warning if they've posted in your comments, etc.
This should be cleared up soon, so don't worry about it if it's got you scared :)

Seriously
Guys. when someone attacks subeta (which will be happening a lot. We're hitting the big time. We are going to piss people off.) the first targets are going to be you. The staff.
When we say change your password, we mean change your passwords.
Make sure you have a different password for every site.
The staff accounts that got hacked yesterday will get no sympathy from me. We've said on hte staff board, on the news, and various other places, to change your password. If you can't set the example, you deserve to get hacked.
Jesus.
Congratulations to Javado for winning a Field Potion in the Potion Lottery!

Lost Accounts Update
Originally when I posted the news post about lost accounts, I was under the impression that 50 or less accounts had been lost due to the power outage. Under new information, this number seems to be far greater, more than any of the administrators can handle. An script will be written to help users recover their accounts. This script may take up to a day to complete, so the rule on not playing the site has been removed, you may play, however, any pets you adopt will be deleted or placed into the pound if there are no remaining pet slots in the original account. Thank your for your patience, and we apologize for the inconvinance. We will do our best to rectify this issue in a timely manner.
You like shirts? (Of course you like shirts.)
Well, then. You know what you have to do, don't you?
Two more slightly late arrivals have turned up in the Token Shop How egg-citing! XD
Congratulations to Kaiaytha for winning a Lilac Potion in the Potion Lottery!

The very popular Yellow Party Dress has recieved a revamp and to celebrate, the Clothing Rack is now stocking everyone's favorite party dress in new colors!
Item not found: teal party dress
Hmm...it seems that those guys at The Clothing Rack are at it yet again. :x What are you supposed to do with these, anyway? Hmf!
First, there are some items / images / pets that may not be loading. If you have an item that does not load, please post a comment on David's profile, let him know what page it is on. Please clear your cache if you are having difficulty getting images to load. DO NOT make a bug report on this, it will just get deleted, as its not a bug in code.
Missing accounts
Some of you may have come to find your entire account mysteriously vanish. Not all is lost! Please create a new account, and immediately sMail David the name of one or more of your old pets, your pin number, if one was set, and name at least three items in your inventory. Also, include how much sP you had on hand and in your sP vault. Do not create any pets/play the game on your new account, all items will be lost when your old pets /items are transferred to the new account.
Fan Site UPDATE All fan sites will notice that their item/pet databases are now giving red x's. This is because our pets and items were moved from subeta.org/items and subeta.org/pets to subeta.org/images/pets and subeta.org/images/items, please make these changes accordingly on your fan site.
A large sum of bug fixes went through recently, however, some new bugs may have unknowingly been created. Please be patient while we filter through the site to find and rectify these errors. Thank you.
-Subeta.org, David, Site Admin.
No Images
Please do not report the fact that most images are not loading to the bug tracker. It is actually quite obvious that images aren't loading. We are making a few changes to the file structure, causing a few broken links, or in the case of items, about 10,000 seperate broken links. We are aware of this, and infact, did it intentionally. Please be patient while we finish up our work. Thank you.

NOTICE.
There is a glitch in user shops causing Easter Tickets to duplicate into the billions at 150sP each. We're asking that you DO NOT purchase these tickets until the problem is resolved.
If you bought the tickets and redeemed them for Ticket Shop Items, delete the items. If you purchased the tickets, delete the tickets you purchased.
We're sorry for the inconvenience.
(You may still purchase Easter Tickets from other shops, however, simply not from the users with billions.)
The Easter Bunny is running a little late this year, but has new things for you to spend those tickets you've been saving up!

It appears as though Shadowglen Graveyard is participating in Subeta's springtime festivities in it's own unique way. A family of, uh, trees have taken up residence in the Graveyard Shop...
Isn't that special?!
It has come to our attention that something interesting has been happening with those colorful gems that have been harvested from Coda Caves. We normally wouldn't share this information with those of the lesser planet, but perhaps the information could be use to better yourselves to our standards. It seems to revolve around those gems which were brought out from the unearthed cave. When raised to the darkness of the faded sun, they charged with the power of their home planet, Phaloroceas. If you were of a greater being like ourselves, you could hear them humming with that very power. Perhaps your pets can, interloper, and we expect you to share them. Maybe at least one of you could be saved from your sinning ways. Use our mystical gems to bless your pets, and one day, may they be enlightened as we are, for you, stranger, are beyond hopeless already.
It appears that on the 6th and 7th of every month, Phaloroceas is close enough to allow the power of the Gems to be released. Iltallo will bless your pets on these days, and you can also Dig for new gems on these days! Anyone (including those who were helping the SAI) can help dig for gems on these special days!
Just to give you an idea of what you get when you bless your pets...
Congratulations to delerium for winning a Spectrum Potion in the Potion Lottery!

The Potion of Purity has been taken out of the Millionaire Center.
Sources tell us that you shouldn't be so hasty to run and buy one, as they could be back anytime :)
The Escalade has been given a long awaited revamp!
There is a strange feeling in the air, the rustle of leaves, the faint smell of flowers on the wind. The grass seems greener, the trees flourishing, their branches reaching straight for the sun. Its as if the plants, the flowers, the flora all around you were celebrating something today. You could feel the vibrant buzz within the atmosphere, a day of undiscovered foliage coming to light. The birth of something new and exciting, a reunion of plant brotherhood. The excitement of fresh growth hums inside your head. Leaves glisten, roots rumble, branches creek, they beseech you to join in with their festivities. Bask in the glow of the warm sun and rejoice with those of the greener world. Show your plant pride and snuggle up with your favorite tree tonight!
The employees of Seedlings have been hard at work all Winter, harvesting nothing but the best seeds for Spring. I wonder what they do?
As if your garden won't already be colorful enough, they have also started stocking these two lovely gnomes.
As a tribute to all things Spring, it appears that the Accesory Bin has just recieved a new shipment of stylish headwear!
Well, that's unique... Ahem.

EVERYONE
Please go to Preferences then Lookup Options and change the random numbers that have replaced your email address back to a totally unique email address. This is due to a recent upgrade and a new policy on duplicated emails. If you get an error message then your email address is already being used by someone else, so please choose a different one.
Due to unforseen downtime, the finalists have all been mistakenly deleted. As a result, I have decided to keep the Black DS Lite to myself. Thank you for your participation!
April Fools :D, the real news post:

Dear Subeta,
We, the artists, have taken your pets hostage. We are tired of working so hard on art, and have decided to just give up. Here are some cute new little scribbles for all of your pets.
We hope you enjoy. And don't try untying Keith and saving him from the basement. OR SUBETA WILL EXPLODE.
