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.

At long last, with Longcat gone, the Anon legion has no more reason to attack. Alas, peace finally. You have my appreciation, for pulling down Longcat and ending this nonsense.
I have no idea what was going on... o_O People were getting hacked over the longcat thing? And who is Anon?

...oh for the love of...
It really pains me to see so many of you just accepting that accounts getting hacked are just a natural consequence of all this. The fact is, Anon started this war, they're the only ones responsible for it continuing for this long, and it will end just as soon as they stop. If anything, they're the ones that owe US an apology for all this smelly .

o.k. this is a bit much of crawling and I don't think it's going to help against such sick people. More so: Where is their apology to us, individuals?
Oh well, I'm fine with everything as long as there's peace now. This new item looks good. Thumbs up there. ^^
Um, are we supposed to have a Draconis where our longcat was? Cause I don't. <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0> I had one in my wardrobe and two in my shop and one in a gallery. =/ And I just out?
I like the little dragon many more than the longcat ^^
and I must say... Subeta is a great place, you respect the users and listen to us.. I think that's great ^-^

I will miss my longcat. but the new minion is so very cute!!<img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0> Good for you Keith being as mature as you ahve been!! I for one will always love Subeta.<img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>
A mature approach to the situation. It's diffused. I've got nothing to add, there's always going to be a for side and an against side and I'm over that. Right...let's get back to making Subeta the number one pet site on the Net, eh? =D
Good for you Keith. applaud This show that you are mature enough to see that this situation was getting ridiculous. I might had that I do understand both side but I do think that they went to far. So I am grateful that you were the better man in this and decided to put the good of others before your own pride, etc.
As for the ones that complains etc..chan included. If you are not satisfied then nothing is keeping you here is there? Be mature and go away.

Keith I applaud you. You put the users before anyone else and are keeping their safety in mind. I LOVE YOU.
The Draconis is awesome!Thank you for replacing the item with such a wonderful dragon instead of deleting it <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif border=0>

Its apparent that both sides have acted irrashionally, but its a shame to have seen so many of my friends accounts hacked. Most of them had nothing to do with the war that was going on.

Yep I did.
Yep I did.
Well I just want to say Im perfectly happy with the Draconis, even though the long cat was cool. Im ready to have everything put to rest, and get on with my Subetan life. <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>

Silverevilchao: We don't like Subeta. We don't care about Subeta. Honestly, I hate this site. You guys have nothing else we really give a crap about. So no, we won't be back. UNLESS longcat is stolen again.
Sorry, just had to say that. Now I'm leaving.

This surrender is better for the short term, but not the long term. Mark my words, they'll come back with another reason.

Great, so now we're waving the white flag and essientially saying "Ok, you win, feel free to attack us about the next thing".
Though I DO like the dragon more than the Longcat...

The apology leaves much to be desired, but it's good enough and longcat is off.
Anonymous thanks you Keith. I apologize to the rest of you for anything that may have happened to you. I, myself, took no part in the raiding or spamming, so don't yell at me if you are angry please.
The only problem I have is that this post doesn't really explain much of what happened. The livejournal isn't mentioned along with a few other things. If you subetans knew the extent to which Keith went to taunt us, you would understand why we were so angry. But, it is over so none of that really matters now.
Anyway, again, I'm sorry that some of you are angry and I'm sorry to the victims of this war. I hope everything goes back to normal for you and honestly I hope to never hear about Subeta again. G'bye

This is not a matter or copyright, you moran; if that were the case, Subeta would just have been sued. This is a matter of the natural order of things being disrupted. The Chans should just be ignored. In this instance, they were not, though fortunately the matter was resolved ralatively painlessly.
Just leave Anon alone, and he'll go about his business in solitude.
Anyway, it's all over now, so everyone should just move on. Besides, it's just a game, right?

Yes, /r/ confirmation plz.

Thank you for this wonderful sight. I am glad it will be here and i will continue supporting you all for the wonderful work you do! <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>
Thank you. For the apology, the kindness, and being smart. I'm really thankfull you decided to remove the Longcat. Plus, this one is cooler anyways XD. To think, I almost quit because of the controversy.

Ah, it was edited again. A bit more of an obvious apology. Getting better. Slowly earnin' my respect back.

Hahaha, AraunasGirl, if you really want to throw all your Draconises away feel free to give them to me. Loads of people want them if you look past the mob of uninformed people screaming about we're omg backing down. <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0>
Seriously guys, what's more important? Some pathetic shread of e-pride or the site you're all playing? Is it better to be known as the site that decided to remove an offending item after they got trolled to hell and back or the site that sat down and refused to listen even as their own site collapsed around them?

I'm just glad Keith had the decency not to apologize to those love ers. Personally, I'm kind of sad to see Longcat go - it was a neat cat. I don't believe that there is any chance at all that this will stop the attacks, but oh well, it was a nice gesture.</blockquote>
Uhm. An apology is what 420chan WANTS. And he DID apologize, even if it was kind of lame. Way to go.
