Longcat is GONE. It has been removed from the site, and Draconis has taken it's place.
I'd like to take this time to issue an apology to you, the users. In the past month we have been handling a situation with multiple sites, over a silly 64x64 canvas filled with pixels. This was known to all of us as Longcat, and wasn't an important item on the site.
The item caused confusion, and most of all it caused controversy on Subeta, as well as outside of Subeta. We kept fighting for Longcat and Subeta in hopes that it would protect the users, and make Subeta appear strong, and able to find off any attack. Whatever you've been told, keeping Longcat was never about pride, it was about keeping the site safe from internet terrorists now, and in the future.
We weren't aware of the ability of one item to take down multiple fan-dedicated sites, and cause a legion of internet users to attack Subeta and it's users, not only on Subeta, but on other sites. We asked all users to change passwords, and make changes to their internet lives that could have been spared, had the item not been kept up.
Some will look at this as a loss for Subeta, while we are viewing it as a definite win. We are able to continue about our business and create fun, exciting new things for all of you to do, and you are able to play Subeta without worrying about what is lurking, and who is really your friend.
Again, we all apologize for any problems that you may have experienced in the past month due to this little group of pixels, and we hope that all of you keep playing Subeta. The site is about you, the users, and would be nothing without you. We also want to extend an apology to any community outside of Subeta that has been affected by this, including the communities we were having this problem with - all of the chans. Hopefully we can all move on to things that are more important :) We also apologize for any actions we took that may have provoked the chans, including taunting or pushing them to make sure they knew we weren't going to give up. All of this we accept as our fault, and we are apologizing to every party for.
Starting out the new features, is the Cult Revamp! Recoded to work much better, you can now create a cult and choose from a number of pre-made templates, which range from Angelic to Hydrus :)
We are leaving the comments on this post open, in hopes that everyone can play nice. We will disable that easy if need be.

Thank you, Keith, for finally coming around. Hopefully we can all begin to forget about this. Though a picture of you with a pancake on your head would still be awesome... this coming purely because pancakes on people's heads is generally awesome.

At least this is over now. I hope that this means they will leave things as they stand ... and us alone. It wasn't fair that the sites and lives of others were disrupted for this issue. I do not blame Keith or the staff, but I am very happy that a decision was made. Thank you for all the effort that you put into protecting us.
As for the Draconis, I love it, and am glad that I hoarded all of those lc's ... dragons are in my top ten favorite critters.

Thanks for the update Keith <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0> I hope everything goes smoother for you and the rest of the staff now and any other users who were affected by this.

i don't believe in that though... because i <b>do</b> believe in group dynamic of masses of users... like a (snow) slide... just rolling down whatever tries to stop it. XD

For the best - but can't see the new item as every link I click on takes me to "tinypics" or something. Why is this happening?
User not found:
Thanks to all the staff members. I can really understand how this was a tough decision for you all. I can understand wanting to protect us from future internet terrorism, that was my main argument during the whole thing, but I have no doubt that you've made the right choice. Thank you all for taking extra time over the past month to help all of us out and keep us safe. I'd hand out hugs if I could.

Thank you Keith
Aw man, there goes an extra item for my gallery. ;_; And for my soon-to-be kitty themed outfit. Ah well, atleast you guys put Subeta first, unlike most other places. <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif border=0> -Goes to see what the Dracoin looks like-

where can you get a Draconis??????

thanks Keith, and thanks to all the stuff for this :3
It seems like a good, neutral solution/compromise to me. Thank you for trying to fight for the Subeta users. I know that you've been through a lot.
Sadly this entire situation became out of hand. Some of the tactics used were... inappropriate to say the least.

I'll miss that adorable ball of fluff, but hey, that dragon is dang cool. I hope this stops the issue all together or at least almost C:

"Easy if needle"?
I'm a wee little sad I lost an item for my gallery, but this Draconis item is pretty damn awesome, and a win in my books. I like the replacement.
Good for you Keith. Let's just all hope this actually works out for the better ^^ I have no faith in the other side and I'm pessimistic about the situation. I hope they prove me wrong.

Gosh. This was such a horribly awful thing to have a fight over. I hope the other sites can get back up and running.
I think the Draconis looks much better than the Longcat. <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif border=0>
Good and bad. Thanks for being more mature than the others. <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>

Eeheh, that critter is kinda weird...I can't say I like it x-o But I don't care, if living without a longcat is living without 4chan attacks, thats good enough for me.
User not found:
What if they don't stop?
It's sad all the trouble that happened. Having a cat all wrapped round you was cool but not worth so much hassel. Thank you Keith and all the staff for keeping the cat with us, it must have been really hard work. But you know what they say all good things must comr to an end and the draconis is very cool <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif border=0>
It took a while, but thanks for changing it <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif border=0>

Well personally I DONT THINK YOU OWE US OR ANYONE ELSE ANY APPOLOGIES KEITH, and I'm sorry for all that you had to go through. I am happy to see the longcat finally gone though, and hope that it fixes all the problems, though I doubt they will stop <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0>
The apology means alot to me, Keith, as I'm sure it will for many others. These problems may not have been your fault, but I appreciate your maturity and dedication to the site and I feel 100% better knowing you are doing your best to protect us. Thanks so much. <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>

Draconis. Seems like a good solution to me.
One way to get them is in the Pawn Shop for 4680sP. Over thousand in there right now, unlike the shops, where people are buying them fairly fast.
