I think that it should just be taken off. If it doesn't do anything, just put it back up =_=<br />
<br />
Personally, I think the longcats are kind of ugly anyhow :/

...Well, do you have any other chan based items? All I know about is the ORLY owl (?). But that thing's been dragged out by loads of sites.....
but.. i guess if thats ALL they want, then i wouldnt mind, so long as they dont take it further
but what debilee said is true, by removing longcat theyll probably want rid of any other items based off other things too
Never Remove The Longcats!!
this is stupid. it's a pixel fro crying out loud? why are people getting upset over it? they are acting like it's warworld 3

Yoink, that didn't come out right.<br />

As I was saying, GameCubeGirl, the chans probably will quit if you give them what they want. It worked for Hal Turner. They'll declare victory and go back to barfing out memes. It's a prestige thing. O_o <br />
....didnt lava..somethin admin say getting rid of longcat wouldnt solve it? this is a kinda hard decision o.o

I think Keith just really needs to stop. I just signed up to check this site out due to the contrverse, but one of my friends plays it religiously. She got hacked and they got rid of her pets. Then she got frozen. She's very upset.<br />
<br />
At one time you just need to know when to give up and just rename or get rid of the damn thing. It's just one item. The chans have repeatedly stated they will quit when you do. If Keith cares about his users he will give it up, instead of dragging all the users into this and egging on the chans. Aren't you guys sick of this yet?
If you had read on down the thread then you'd see that stepping away just isn't an option and would be pointless.<br />
This isn't the actual 4chan group, it's renegade members mostly from the other group violating 4chan's own policies of no raids, no posting of personal info, etc.
I think this entire drama is ludicrous. It's like adding salt to a wound.....enought already, please! If you truly care for your players, then just step away.
Hey that cat ain't so 'long' in those pictures, my cat is almost that long if held like that, not that i would hold my cat like that. o.O I guess this isn't the best of times to meantion the 'Spherical Self-Contained Capture and Storage Unit', now that actually reminds me perfectly of something lol <br />
<br />
Does 'Longcat' have a copyright then? Seems a little crude since it's an animal to get that paitient.
"Clearly spoken as someone who never goes on /b/, where \'yiff in **\' is practically one of their mottos. "<br />
<br />
Now I don't want this to escalate into something big but your statement shows lack of familiarity with /b/ I mean I don't get on it anymore unless through a link but even the "yiff in **" is popular not only because many people are against it but because there are a ton of people for that stuff and post stuff like that. If it was for a huge number for maybe as high as a third the subject wouldnt be brought up to begin with. So the only reason that could be considered a motto is because a lot of people on there like that stuff and continue to post it back up. Subeta doesnt really pertain to that except in the most general sense anyway. <br />
<br />
The basic point I was trying to make earlier is any publicity is good publicity, at least for a growing website. You can check a month from now I bet that 41,000 rank average will have gone up.
The increased number of users always happens for a giveaway, it would be only natural for one this long with this many rares. It is not the "power of /b/".
Isn't making a poll for this just some kind of surrender? ... Just my opinion... I'm for 'no'.
User not found:
I say no. It's not harming anyone. I really like the longcat and it's really cool to be able to own one on Subeta. I see it as homage to the longcat. As long as Subeta are acknowledging that they don't own the idea and aren't making any money from it, it seems perfectly fine.

<br />
Yeah but its still getting the word out The more people who know about subeta the more people who will be on it. like the saying any publicity is good publicity. I mean a ton of people from there got on here the other day many probably just took a little but a good number will probably be playing subeta a month from now.
Thats funny in the picture I was told was the "original" long cat it was a Caucasian guy with a white cat photoshoped to be as tall as the guy holding it.<br />
<br />
So who IS the first "original" long cat? As well as does anyone have any proof theres is the first one?
Jinzekyuns -- No, now it's about Keith's quote 'arrogance' and his returned attacks/eggings/teasings towards them (i.e., the source code messages and the Longcat LiveJournal [which by the way is VERY IMMATURE]).<br />
<br />
LexiObahs -- the reason the actual owner of said Longcat hasn't come forward is because he's Japanese. Longcat originated from the Japanese image board 2chan, and 4chan adopted it as their own, and it spread to the other *chans. You can't expect the actual owner of the Longcat to come forward because some random *channers are attempting to destroy a website he knows nothing about.
BlueGreenGrey, that was beautiful.<br />
<br />
I'm neither for nor against the Longcat staying. I have been slightly attacked by the *chans for supporting Subeta in the beginning, but as I've been stalking their Subeta raid threads, I've slowly turned more and more to the neutral side of the debate.<br />
<br />
I have been on Subeta for over two years. I love the staff, I love the site, I love the items, pets, and the feel that I get from playing Subeta. I met my roommates for college this year on Subeta, and they're the best roommates I've ever had. Subeta is responsible for my living conditions and my happiness in real life right now.<br />
<br />
However. They are also subject to my disapproval. <br />
<br />
Keith and Subeta has their point, and the *chans have their point as well. Both sides are wrong and just need to stop this petty argument. The Longcat is not worth destroying half of Subeta. <br />
<br />
I also greatly feel bad for PymaJac, who's had to suffer through all of this as being the starter (even though it was unwillingly) of this war. Also, for my friend NyauNyau, whom I've known for nearly seven years. She had all of her personal information stolen by the *chans, and it honestly scared me, and I confronted her about it. Luckily she found out before I did and had it taken care of.<br />
<br />
If we must, I say re-name the Longcat to something else. This has gone too far, and I'm very upset that it's gotten to this point.<br />
<br />
However, I am very proud of our strength and our ability to band together during this crisis and keep Subeta up and running despite the on-coming danger.<br />
<br />
Please, someone settle this ... and quickly ...

Actually, that only proves the power of /b/. You're mistakingly thinking that popularity means anything other than people are clicking - from /b/ to laugh at Subeta.
Arrggh Thar be a mother load of Longcat lovers avasting on this here site, that thar pole says it all .balling ended. Ether way it's only one item, in the thousands of other items, if it'd mean a more secure site it could be worth the loss. But I'll miss em <img src=/images/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif border=0>
wow...that was a long post. But a great one good job bluegreengrey. wow I guess I'm late here I was checking out the forums theres a image poster at it again D= debi help please!<br />
<br />
I didn't know about this pin thing....I must set one on then.
Longcat's for keeps.<br />
<br />
You can't be serious when telling me it's just about the cat for them?<br />
User not found:
feels dumb!! How do we put a pin on our account... I found a pin area in preferances, but it doesnt appear to have worked.
What BlueGreenGrey said is absolutely correct, we HAVE to stand up now or they'll be back any time they get bored demanding who knows what. They'll start demanding the removal of any item they feel is even remotely similar to one of "theirs". So we can't back down, removing the longcat will solve nothing at this point and only serve to make things worse.
BRAVO, BlueGreenGrey!!! Well well said!<br />
<br />
Oops - someone already said that.<br />
<br />
We are standing and applauding you!
applauds BlueGreenGrey as well....<br />
<br />
Only one problem - I just tried to add a pin to my accounts, and it doesn't seem to be working. I was still able to access my shop, vault etc without entering it. Is this a temporary glitch, I wonder? Or should it be reported?<br />
<br />
By the Way... I voted to keep the longcat - I don't think removal of it will solve anything.
Errrgh, sorry about the name misspelling, BlueGreenGrey...
Brava BluGreenGrey...very well said!!
I voted yes, I don't think it should be REMOVED, perhaps renamed? Stretchy Cat? Lengthy Cat?<br />
<br />
My opinion would most likely be different if I or a good friend of mine didn't get the.. "joy" ... of witnessing one of these immature acts of posting vulgar, distasteful, sickening, disturbing images, as well as offense content and language.<br />
<br />
We shouldn't have to fear loading pages while we're playing. Its getting out of hand.<br />
<br />
I am SOO thankful my younger brothers weren't in the room to see what I saw. OR my mom for that matter. This situation could have not only been subjected to my family, but I could have gotten my computer taken away. My moms mental enough about internet safety, this is NOT convincing her.<br />
<br />
I love subeta, I love all the owner and admins do for the site. But someones gotta be the bigger person here. Someones gotta stop this madness. Its just getting old really fast.<br />
<br />
One thing it ISN'T doing though is making me want to leave the site. So if thats what the goal was they failed. I do hope things get back to normal soon.<br />
<br />
Thats just my opinion.<br />

I wish I hadn't voted now as I think everything BlueGreenGrey says makes so much sense
I love what you wrote BlueGreenGrey. Down right to the facts. applaudes
applauds Bluegreengrey
I think all of this is getting over thought and over complicated... Can't we all just get along, and enjoy all the differnt types of cute little Longcats xD
Sinfullysweet404 - do you mean the subeta artist who drew the longcat for subeta? That's not what I'm talking about... I mean whoever's cat is in the photograph of the original longcat photo that's been circulating the internet for ages. THEY are the copyright holder, not 4chan..
User not found:
Long cat forevvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeer. lol. I hate 4chan. Just cause of all of this, they are attacking my friend and I. Over a stupid meme! Long cat should be shared among the world!
User not found:
lexiohbah. In a way you're wrong. The admin who had the responsibility for having come up with using longcat as a thing in subeta came forward already and said she had asked to have it removed. So, in a way you're wrong, but in a way you're right.
Oh, one other thing that I forgot to mention.<br />
<br />
Guess what? If you hold ANY cat up under its arms in the position of the famous longcat photo you will get the same result. CATS ARE ACTUALLY LONG. OMG WOW, they claim to hold exclusive rights over an anatomical feature of an animal. e.e
Personally, I've seen the cats all over the web. One site pokes a little fun about one of the most infamous web memes and a few people claim rights and ownership of an idea of public domain. It's yet another interpitation of the idea I have seen in countless flash files, gifs and Photoshopped images. And with the idea that this site had profited from it by the assailants not getting the facts straight, there was no way to get them to listen to reason or sway opinion as hostility was the first reaction, and that was the idea fed through the community.<br />
The article in Encyclopedia Dramatica made it clear that there's a lot of arrogance in the argument that 4chan's /b/ owns much of what appears posted randomly. It's like claiming rights to images of Santa Claus, clouds, or the concept happiness.<br />
<br />
Warning: Encyclopedia Dramatica's images are sometimes NOT worksafe. Go there at the risk of your eyes.
I don't think the longcat should be removed just because of ridiculous behavior from certain 4chan members. As has been discussed already, longcat is NOT the property of 4chan alone. It is used on MANY websites and seeing as how Subeta is not profiting off of longcats there's no good reason to remove it.<br />
<br />
I mean, look at it this way. The person who created the longcat image in the first place, who would logically be the copyright holder, is not coming forward and causing a big stink about it being used on Subeta. 4chan steals everything under the sun and likely stole the original longcat photo in the first place. <br />
<br />
Unless keeping the longcat on the site would result in a CREDIBLE LAWSUIT and not childish internet spam attacks, then I think it should stay.<br />
<br />
It's not causing any harm for anyone other than providing entertainment for a group of people looking for "lulz."
Uhoh... stares at the image Natsu gave
First of all, the logged out page isn't real. The link is merely missing the www in the URL, as a few links around the site are. (Pete, anyone?) <b>Simply put the www where it belongs and it works.</b><br />
<br />
Many people have said that Keith and the Staff are forcing their own wishes on Subeta, without letting the users decide. This Poll is to find out what the <b>users</b> want to do about Longcat.<br />
<br />
<b>Most of the *chans don't support the attacks on Subeta.</b> 4chan is the biggest and could have caused some real damage, but they bowed out, and began deleting the raid threads. This is not a holy crusade to them anymore, they can see it for what it is - merely an excuse to pick on someone, and they want nothing to do with it now. The biggest portion of the problems are from 420chan now. 420chan is much smaller and less organized, but obviously more bored and looking for cheap thrills. If you have followed the 420chan threads you'd know that while a <b>few</b> say removal of Longcat and an apology from Keith (with or without the saucepan and/or pancake) would stop them from attacking, a <b>large, large</b> number of them say they will stop at nothing until Subeta is completely destroyed. <b>Period</b>. They are getting a kick out of doing this, because they call all Subetians "13 year old furfags" and say "yiff in Hell." They harrass people and post/send shock pics because they <b>like</b> to. They tear down innocent fansites because they <b>want</b> to. They hack people's MSN/DA/MyS/etc because it's <b>fun</b> to them. Giving in will not stop them.<br />
<br />
<b>Nothing will make them stop</b>, aside from eventual boredom and loss of involved raiders. But giving in to them now could certainly make things worse, because then they would see that they can make outrageous demands and we will give in. <b>Giving in to bullies never stops the attacks - it only makes them worse.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Did Keith egg them on?</b> Certainly he did. What would you have had him do when they demanded we remove Longcat? Say, "Yes, *chans, I shall get right on that - and while I am at it, are there any other items you object to? Orly Owl, maybe? Let me delete them immediately, please and thank you for telling me how to run a site you have never even been to. Much appreciated."<br />
<br />
<b>Keith</b> did an <b>illegal</b> DDos attack on a *chan - from his <b>OWN</b> site, the most successful one?? Come on, you don't really think Keith is that stupid, do you? I assure you, he is not.<br />
<br />
<b>They hate Keith because Keith is gay</b>, even though they themselves are largely pedophiles and twisted sickos. <b>They hate Keith because Keith is 17</b>, and a kid shouldn't talk back to them. <b>They hate Keith because Keith is a "dirty Jew"</b> because Subeta has a Gold Holiday Star Necklace Charm which resembles the Star of David. All of these are reason enough for a lot of them to want to destroy Subeta. They make fake emails and posts from "Keith" which constantly contradict the other fake posts/screenies from "Keith."<br />
<br />
420chan <b>mistakenly</b> thought Longcat was being sold for profit, and misunderstood Subeta's efforts to prove it <b>wasn't</b>. Thousands of Longcats were dumped into the <b>Donation Center</b>, so that any member who wanted to could grab one for <b>FREE</b> only enflamed them - because they thought (not being from Subeta themselves and having no clue) that the Donation Center meant <b>you had to donate real money to the site to get one</b>. Proving them wrong on that did <b>nothing</b>; they really do not care if they are wrong, they only care for maximum destruction and getting their jollies off by wreaking havoc and spreading misery.<br />
<br />
<b>Subeta is doing all it can do to make you and your account safer right now. Now you need to do your part too.</b> CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD! Make it something difficult, mix caps and lowercase, throw in some numbers and symbols if you can. <b>Never use the same password for another site</b>, so if they get one password, they don't unlock half of your life. Keep a handwritten list by your PC if you must. Do not post your real name or identifying information. Use caution when clicking links and browsing other sites. <b>NEVER visit links from someone you do not know</b>. Cookie grabbers are no fun at all, I assure you. There have been impersonators - <b>Do NOT give your personal and/or login information to ANYONE</b>, not even "Keith." Keith doesn't need your information, people. It's readily available to him.<br />
<br />
<b>And please, put a PIN on your account, preferably everywhere.</b> Sure, it's an extra step when accepting trades, taking items/sP from your Vaults, etc. But it's worth it. And it's much, much more secure.
am i the only one that can't change her PIN???
