Yay, thank you!! finally ^__^ I think all the ID hunters are regulars anyway so I doubt any low ID pets were caught in the charade!

If I had room, I'd get that "Ghostbusters" pet. :P But I don't, but I did pound two a long time ago, but both were adopted out, and I got one of my beauties there *huggles Saix* who was made for me and pounded a while back by a friend, and he's getting stronger every day.

I don't think he's PG13 -as it is-. :P
Pfffft. Nah. I bet he's really innocent and has no idea why everyone laughs at him. None whatsoever.
Poor guy. >xD

Butbut... you could make such a wonderful story about him being the owner of an adult toy store! ;D I have absolutely no idea how you'd make it PG-13, but it would be hilarious!

Pssssh, you know SOMEONE was gonna do it!
You have to pay for his therapy sessions until I get his name changed, though. It's only fair!

Makes me glad that I adopted 13_angelbutt_lol when I did (her name will be changed).

I'd been pound surfing and seen that poor pet in there for AGES, so you finally took pity and adopted her? Well done that person!
My thoughts: Perhaps there could have been a temporary reduction in the plushies and wands and no more abandoning to the pound for a couple of days? Then those who could be adopted were, and the rest cleared. Just a thought.
On Dragon Cave, there was a "Wild Dragon" page, where dragons who were abandoned frolicked, but they lost their names and also because dragons were bred, it's a bit different to here. Anyway. It was nice to see your inbred or unwanted dragons go to a nice home.
As for our pets here, just think of them as "retired", playing in green valleys, talking about the "good old days", perhaps talking about the health issues of old age, and comparing notes...."Did you SEE what my owner called me? And someone adopted ANGELBUTT over ME? Bah. How long do you think it'll take before Dicks Dicks Dicks is here with us?"

The pet had pretty good battle stats, 500 intelligence, and a low id#
it wasn't about the name, since she already had a name and a wand for it.
That's why I feel bad for her.
and honestly, I enjoy pound surfing, so I'm sort of disappointed with this occurrence myself. Was there a legitimate reason as to why the pound needed to be cleared?

Well now finding 'good' pets should be easier without having to see lines of egiwueghjgret as names. Yay!

I think this should be done more often so it can clear space in the websites cache, which in return creates less lag for us :)
Glad the pound was cleared. There were a lot of bad names in there.

I feel SOOOOO bad for a friend of mine, they did sooo much saving yesterday in order to purchase a one week gold account today so they could adopt a certain pet from the pound, and as soon as they looked for the pet, they were all gone... wow... just... :C

Let's all write ANGSTY EMO POETRY to mourn the lost pixel souls
It will make us feel better.
Misunderstood Death
Life is a dark trail
of thorns
and hurtful things
and now you have been hurt
and thorn'd.
Mommy can't kiss it better
so wretch, and puke BLACK ICHOR
Subetan Sorrow
Hidden is the woe
of the lost pets of Subeta.
Their innocence is lost
so the sky bleeds rain onto their deaths
like the crimson tears of my heart.
Depressed Sadness
You and roses have something in common
they all DIE.
Broken
You waited for so long
Wanting to touch, be touched
But when touch...
Broken bleeds.
Maybe just stay here, huddled
unloved and worthless
deleted
The Adopt R Us center has been...
CLEARED.
It will make us feel better.

It's days like these where I think back to adopting my Nightmare Keeto from the pound. That was already his color and species, but his name was "asdfghjklasdfghjkl". xD ...I renamed him to Asmodeus during a clearing within the same month. Part of me wonders if anyone else has done such things to pets that otherwise would have been deleted. ._o; Or if I'm just... oddly alone in this. xD I had a Nightmare Potion sitting in my vault at the time so I could have created one for so much less monies. Buuut. He's more special to me; a created pet simply would not have been. x3

Feeling a mixture of emotions upon reading this thread: Sorrow at the visions of heaped Kumos and Swampie corpses. Surprise that anyone even looks at pet IDs. And lastly, joy that '13_angelbutt_lol' has miraculously dodged the axe at the last moment.

This makes me happy. Personally though, I would have preferred if they said something like "All pets in Adopt R Us have been released to the wild!"
Even if they are "only pixels", I think it's kinda "breaking the fourth wall" to phrase it like they did.

I have to say I am rather glad about this. I mean last time I was in there there were still some from the first time I had been in there almost a year before. Thats just crazy. I think its because of all the god awful names so I am glad to see them gone.

I am really happy to have seen this happen; it was getting horribly crowded in there. I don't know much about the system, but I would imagine this can help with space here on the site and to help avoid some unnecessary lag. I think it would be a good idea to implement this more frequently, in fact, when things start to get hairy again. It looks like a little warning in advance may be appreciated by some users, though. c:
As for the folks feeling poorly about the pets getting "deleted" or "put to sleep", they /are/ only pixels. If there was a name you really wanted in there, now you can make it yourself. It's all good.
I am rather intrigued by the individuals who take the time and spend the money to adopt poorly-named pets and revamp them nicely with better names and some love. That's pretty neat.
Anyway, thanks for this, staff! Keep up the good work and constantly making Subeta a great place to be a part of!

How dramatic.. ~_~ I swear some people say things just to get sympathy.
As for the clearing. It's about time. I honestly believe that a pet that stays in the pound for a month or more should automatically be deleted. Reason why is because there are some in there that have the worst names and nobody wants to adopt a pet with %$#$EFGTY as a name, no matter the color. Also that it will keep the site from lagging or filling up the Adoption center making pet searches easier and less frustrating. Is there a code for it? Or is it even possible since the stores automatically restock. Maybe a bit of a tweak to the code and the pets in the adoption center have a cached timer. Just a thought.

Its about time!! I've been staring at that 3,000 + pets for gawd only knows how long. It was over-due for a clearing out!
That means some of those names are available again. Woo. ^^

Darn, I was hoping to adopt a low-id pet after buying a Mystical Montre Plushie and Enchanted Hypnosis Wand during the coming Black Friday Sale :/ Oh well, more will pop up, I'm sure :)

I was wondering when this was finally gonna happen. Things were getting out of hand. x_x
But it is cool adopting badly-named pets from the pound and giving them neat personalities and everything. You can change their names, but I used to leave them the same...it was kind of quirky and fun.

I'd be more tempted to check the pound, when I get any new pet slots, if it didn't cost so much to change the species, color & name. Just can't afford that usually.

Agreed, a warning in advance would be a little nice next time...!
But for being virtual pets, I can't help but feel a little sad for the pets that were "put down". :(

aww... i kinda feel bad for all those dead pets, but it was getting horribly over crowded... i hope people just start taking pet from there and changing them into what the want them to be rather than just making new ones now... this way it wont get that crowded, plus this made me really happy for adopting all my pets except Tansarit

Don't cry guys, I bet they're all free and happy now -
and wild pets usually don't have a use for names, do they?

Kinda sad, kinda glad.
All those poor, poorly named pets are gone. However, so are the ones with good names that were in there. I feel so lucky to have Peregrim right now.

Awww now little Lillylime is all alone in the pound now.
It must be really scary for her, since the pound has space for 3 tousand pets. And now there's only one inside.
Poor Lillylime =,C

I'm sure that the pets were simply wiped of their names and stats and color and put back in the adopt-a-pet section :3

This is so CUTE xD
Oh, you've got to be kidding me! My GA expires tomorrow, I was looking at pets to fill my last two slots just this morning, now they're gone! I guess it's kinda overdue what with almost 4000 pets in there, but give us a warning next time!

Just create them instead of adopting? :3

No, no, no people...they've let them all go! All the pets are now playing happily in an open area near Peka Glade that's just off the map where they can go by their real names rather than "pet12345215236586" ;)
