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.

I was never all that excited about Longcat in the 1st place. I thought it was OK and kinda cute but not a big deal. I like the Draconis much better, thank you!
thank you. That's it...just thank you for looking out for us the users and making a good choice to put this ugly little bump in the Subeta road to rest.

Oh my gosh I LOVE the Draconis! I need it now! <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif border=0>
I had a fansite myself which got frozen from freewebs. It used to be rank #3 on SuSho, too. But I would've gotten rid of it eventually, anyway, for I am buying it's own domain soon, making lots of neat graphics for it, (and Subeta to put on it) and lots of other cool stuff the old members and friends will be thrilled about. =D

Those of you wearing them and not taking them off please be advised that that might not be the best idea.

I believe the right desision was made here, and shows that Subeta will not involve itself in petty arguments, and will be the metaphoric 'bigger man' in this. I do feel sorta bad for PymaJac... it was originallt their staff custom and all. ^^;

Keith, I do love the Draconis (I'm a Dragon Girl after all) but I shall miss the Longcat which I also loved. It is unfortunate that you had to remove the longcat but I suppose in the end it is a small thing compared to one's peace of mind. It is a shame, I don't like to see internet terrorists rewarded but maybe some good will come out of this. Bygones. Let's move forward.
Well, while this does mean we gave in, we've won out in the end. We're going on happily, obviously Longcat wasn't good enough for Subeta anyway (XP We're too good for silly stretched out felines. Neener!) and we get an awesome dragon that no one can complain about owning because it's oriental and mythological. Can't own myths, can we? If we could then, all dragons are mine. Yeah. Totally. Mine. owns all dragons
I'd just like to solute the whole staff for holding out as long as you did and working to keep this site safe.

Just wanted to say...I love the change. The Draconis looks much better then the longcat. I just hope we can all be a little more mature. After all it is just a pixil.

Thank you Keith, and the Subeta Staff. I know how hard you guys must have worked to keep the Longcat, and I support your decision. It was a silly pixel, and I'm glad you guys did the right thing to keep the members of Subeta safe. I'm sad to see all that trouble gone, but I'm glad it's done now.
And besides, the Draconis is cool too!

About time, really. This was exactly what I was saying from the beginning.
Thanks Keith. I like the Draconis even more than the Longcat simply because it means more. It means that care and thought was put into the users of this site and the site itself. Maybe we can all learn to forgive and forget.
I Support the Staffs choices. I never cared one way or another- it was a pixel after all. But if this is what the staff thinks is best, then I support them.
I just hope things can return to normal now. I would like to say tho that I am proud of the staff and the players that stuck it out until the end. Thats Subeta Pride <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>

ok a bit of good news to my longcat problem in my wardrobe. I had 2 long cats i can aquired the day i got mine in my wardrobe, for my hoarded theings. uill just take one of my new draconis from my shop. but i find it a loss to loss my wardrobe one <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0> i hope those who had simular wadrobe malfuntions also get a draconis tuddles

Look in the 'overchest' part of the wardrobe, if you cant find your new item elsewhere.
If you still have a longcat on your avatar, it'd be smart to remove it. They may target you for it.

Well, though I wasn't really clear on what the whole Longcat arguement was about...it's sad to see all of it over, as you say and I strongly agree with, a bunch of pixels. C; But, at least its settled. And thanks for the replacement. xD ♥

ahhh. its not fair. my long cat is gone and it was not replaced with a draconis but with an empty space in my wardrobe. when should i get a draconis? or did i lose my long cat to be replaced with nothing?

You know im really relief that the longcat is gone i wasnt saying a word of it but now that it's gone im pretty happy.The draconis looks more better i really like it.My only concern at this moment is that i cannot log on subeta.org i got to use the ip address anyone know if it's safe cause that really bothers me.Thank!

Well as much as I thought the Longcat cute.... I absolutely LOVE the Draconis!!!
Well done to the creator of this item!! And for Keith with handling the whole situation...

I do see this as a loss. But, hey, you win some, you lose some. keith doesnt need to apoligize to the chans in any shape or form.
I am anxious to see if they hold up their end of the bargain. Terrorists. Hope you feel good about yourselves. I am really torn. Ah well - let's move on.

Although I am indeed sad to see the Longcat go, and am anticipating some "HA WE WIN!!1!!one!" spam elsewhere, thank you for that very mature and considerate decision. It's good to see that at least one side is willing to act the adult. Thank you again.
now can we focus on all the other glitches???? Like my stupid stuck seed that doesnt exist.. the ' that we cant use.. and the BLOCK button..

Thanks subeta team for doing a wonderful job and i really love the Draconis way better than the longcat good job subeta team <img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>
I understand that they were supposed to turn into draconis' but the two longcats that were in my vault didn't. They turned into nothing.
All longcats turned into Draconis. If you had a Longcat in yoru gallery/shop/wardrobe/vault, look for a draconis.
If you were wearing a longcatm unequip your clothing to make it change.

"I don't think that apology was the greatest possible" - But should we really have to go out of our way to apologise? x) It seems to me that subeta suffered more for it, so changing the item and appologising seems good enough to me.

So much cooler than longcat ever was!! and it looks so good with my snake<img src=http://75.126.139.58/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>

yawn....long cat.....nty
Ahahaha.....that description certainly didn't look like the site was apologetic. Way to beat a dead horse.
I like the Draconis, though. I'm glad this whole thing's over. crosses fingers

I have to say that I like the Draconis better then longcat anyhow, too bad I can't use it for my avatar with the snake appendages as legs.
