The Free Shop has opened it's doors, and it is where all future giveaways will be held! Tonight we will be testing it out :)
You might want to watch for these two items, that can only be found in this giveaway!
Just so you know - this shop restocks just like any other shop. Meaning that all the items in the giveaway will be restocking over time ;) This means that one time zone is NOT favored over others :)
Also, if it's empty, make sure to stick around. This giveaway should last through to tomorrow :)

XD I'm going to agree with Tiki on this one xD Having items in a shop is a good idea, but my net is too slow for me to get anything. It's nice for users with fast comps though xD
Well its good for anyone with a speedy connection. Those of us with Dial-up lose out on everything. Nice thought though.

I have to grudgingly agree about the captchas. <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> I've tried twice now to snag one of those awesome feli hats and miss every time because the captcha image takes forever.
I do like the idea of it being a shop though.

I got one of the shirts XD
Aw thanks Keith. =3 We are so not worthy.I <3 you<img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" />
Woo! I got the Feli Flop Hat! <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" /> Gonna stalk this place and see what else pops up.
Getting rid of the codes would be a good thing. Some of us are slower due to old age and just can't type as fast.
Free Shop: Awesome idea.
Capchas on a giveaway: Not-awesome idea.
Fix that minor issue and it'd be perfect. ;P It's already a race to get the item, adding a race to read a capcha- which can often be completely unreadable when the word goes off the screen- is unreasonable.

I really don't see the point of this shop at all o.0
Um, thank you for the gesture but is anyone else getting cold chills of anticipating the wank that this is going to cause?

Cool.Thanks SubetaTeam.<img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
I suck at restocking. <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> Could we have larger restocks at once maybe? I can't seem to grab anything.

This is fair, and it's a new system that needs to be tested. I'm thinking of removing the codes, however that would make it easy to just jump in and click on everything since there are far less time limits.
Also - Remember. These are <strong>free</strong> items.

Sweet. Thanks Team. <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
point King Keith is back! :O
Also, GREAT solution to the giveaway gripes. Thanks for not giving up on us. <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

the idea is nice. however, i'm not lucky at restocking (slow connection) lol. just missed everything xD so i'll let others refresh the shop all day ^^ (no, this is not a complain.) ... (and sorry for my bad english).
Sad you gave in to the whiners, this is even less fair then the way it was done before. At least before if you only had had a few minutes at your PC, you could jump in, grab something, and go.
Not to mention many of us have trouble reading the codes and now not only is RSing hard for us, you made giveaways impossible.
So much for your saying this is mostly a north american site and that your people here come first. Talk about waffling... it is like the Clinton administration around here.

I have a question. Does this shop only restock a few items at a time? If so, does that mean a large number of users will be gunning for the same item? :s Quickest wins?
Aww, I don't like this <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> I mean, I appreciate that it's free stuff, but restocking has gotten 10x harder in these past few months (and it's especially going to be harder with everyone stalking). I really liked the old method because everyone had a chance to get something good. DC Giveaways were my absolute favorite thing on subeta besides designing pets, and now they're gone... [/whinewhinewhine]
And I DO like how it solves the time zone issue...I just don't really like how if you mistype the code you don't get anything <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/smiley_xface.gif" border="0" /> It's going to be way harder to get stuff than the old way.
That sounds incredibly greedy, looking back on it xD It's the opportunity that matters. But fewer restocks, with more items in each, might be even better? Not sure <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

"This means that one time zone is NOT favored over others"
We'll still hear complaints that one time zone's being favoured.
Just watch...

The donation corner will now ONLY be for user donations. From this point forward, all staff giveaways will be held in the Free Shop <img src="http://www.subeta.ws:8080/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Also - Yes. The shop has a stock in the database just like any other stock, and will continue to restock it until it runs out, which should span all the time zones.
