Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all thy sons command.



With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free!



From far and wide,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.



God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.



O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.




Why not celebrate our lovely friends to the north with the Free Gift!

Tracker

Personal Information and Security


Due to this ruling on Youtube! we are adopting a new standard of deleting logs after a month. Hopefully other sites also adopt this method.


What this means is, that we will be deleting our log files monthly, that keep track of your pages visited, and your IP addresses. While this information helps us track down multiple accounts and cheaters, at some point in the future that information could be requested by some bully corporation, and if this ruling is any indication, we'd be required to give up your personal information and your browsing habits to that corporation.


To keep it simple, it means that we're protecting your privacy, and making it harder for large corporations to request information about where you've been looking on the internet.


If you share a computer with someone else, you're fine! Don't worry about it :)

What did you think he was doing between epic battles with Subeta's finest?



Don't forget! Nothing's definite yet. Got a great idea to improve something? Noticed a fundamental flaw? We want to hear it! :D



We're really excited about this, and hope you are too. :)

This is the new subeta!

Do NOT use subeta.net. Please tell your friends, and any users you see on Subeta.org to move to this site, Subeta.ws.

Why do you think they have turned off the shoutbox, and the forums? ;)

Also, I updated Subeta.ws this morning with a note about what is going on, but I will be making another announcement later on today, depending on how discussions with ex-staff members go. :)

Posted by Keith at 04:49 pm | Comments (139)


July 12, 2008

Wow!

Well, this has been an interesting day or two, no? Apparently the "owners" over at Subeta.org feel that if they put their hands over their eyes, things will just go away. They can take away all of the social aspects of the site, and users won't notice that things aren't right.

They're wrong, and don't give users enough credit. The entire time they've been with Subeta, one thing that has been shown over and over is they're lack of understanding in loyalty. They didn't understand how loyal the users would be to me in this situation, and they didn't think that certain staff members would be loyal after all that has happened.

More than anything, they don't understand the trust users have in me, and how long it takes to earn that. I have nothing but your best interests, and that of Subeta, when I think of what to do next. While this is my living, and it's my job, it also means the difference to more than a thousand people daily. They come here before they do other things, they talk to their friends on Subeta, they dress up their avatar, they battle with their pets (sort of o_o). The only way those two over at Subeta.org see users is as giant dollar signs, that can be replaced right when one goes away.

That's why I know, even if it'll be hard to pay the bills this month, or if we have to take out a business loan to pay those bills, you will still be behind me, and the real Subeta. I hope that you don't feel like I treat you like paper bills, that are only here to pad my bank account - because you aren't (or I'd be driving the corvette I want :(!). You are all very, very important and special to me.

Now, right now there are a lot of problems with this situation. While the dictators over at Subeta.org have the domain, that is all they have. We have the staff members, the artists, the writers, the user admins, and the users. We have the community.

They are trying to hold out and create a hostage situation (ie: extortion. Highly illegal :P) in hopes that I'll crumble to all of their (insane) demands.

I hope that you understand that all of this was for the best of Subeta, and for us to more forward.

I just want to make sure that all of you understand that this (subeta.net) and subeta.net are different websites. While this is the real Subeta that will continue to be updated, anything that happens over at Subeta.org will not transfer here. (Sorry for those of you grabbing free legendaries :P)



Keep that in mind while you play over there, that sooner or later that entire site will be taken down, and anything you've done will be deleted.



On another note, these servers have off-site database backups, to protect your hard earned sP and items :)

For those of you who have been around for a long time, the reading contest was a good way to get your pets intelligence up, and read a bunch of books.



Well, this time around we are doing things differently. The reading contest is now the Book Drive! Donate your books to the drive, to help young pets... or something.



For each book you donate, you get a point, which you will be able to spend on fun items later on (or when it's over). Which means you get to pick your prize!



Good luck, and have fun collecting those books ;)

Scheduled Downtime



Hi all! My name is Alex, a Subeta programmer and server tech. I wanted to let you know in advance that we plan on taking the website down around 4 pm (Subeta time) for some quick database work. We hope to be back up and running within half an hour, but we shouldn't be more than an hour in any case.



If you're interested, we're bringing a second database server online, which will make the site more stable and more responsive (read: faster!)



Hopefully everything will go smoothly and Subeta will be back up before you know it. Thanks for being patient with us while we get settled in to our new servers :)

Friends,



I don't feel like we talk enough. You call and I never answer. That's about to change.



Simply put, you are Subeta's biggest asset. We could have the fanciest rewrite, the most brilliant minds in programming, the best server setup, but without you there wouldn't be any reason. It has always been in our best interest to keep you as informed as possible, and this is something we have been neglecting to do lately. Keith Answers! was a step in the right direction, but we can do better. We’re going to try and fix that right now.



Things have been pretty exciting internally, recently! Over the last few days, we have shifted our focus, and changed the staff around. We've also moved to an entirely new server setup, which should cause fewer problems and give you a more enjoyable experience with Subeta, overall. Instead of working to keep the site alive, we can work on things that are important. Fixing bugs, adding new features, and finishing the rewrite.



I'm sure you'll notice that I mentioned the rewrite last in that sentence. A lot of you believe that the rewrite is some sort of myth, or that it is never going to happen. It will happen, and it is still being worked on by the entire programming team. However, instead of telling you that our current problems will be fixed in the rewrite, we are shifting our focus to the site that you use everyday, to make it more playable now, not later. Taking on something as large as the rewrite has taught me, personally, that you can't redo four years of hard work in a few months. Subeta is just as real as any of us, and it should be treated that way. I've found out that I can't ignore the real site, just to work on the rewrite, and I can't focus only on the main site and put the rewrite on the back burner. There has to be balance, and from this point forward there will be. Expect more announcements on the rewrite in general, as well as more serious testing in the future.



We understand you want a time line. You want a date that the rewrite will be finished. I've done this before, and ended up being months off. The rewrite is a work in progress, that you will be able to constantly check on. From this point onward, I'll be giving regular status updates on the rewrite, which should give you a clear picture of its progress and make you feel much better about it. Hopefully, we can remove this feeling that it's just a myth!



I also mentioned Subeta being on new servers! You can find more information about our setup in the near future. Based on our experiences over the last four years, we have worked hard to come up with a perfect solution that works now, and also allows us to continue growing and pushing forward later.



Of course, we aren't going to be pushing forward only in the programming department. The user administration department is also going to be getting a huge update soon, which will be something for every user. The department is starting to feel the weight of four years of creating rules, and changing rules. We’ve added a rule whenever something has gone wrong, but you can't really find them, or know what that rule is, until you're warned for it. It’s unfair to both you as users, and to our administration team that has to hunt down the rules that need to be enforced as well! That's why in the near future we will be pruning out certain rules that we feel should be determined by you, the community. Who are we to decide if you are offended by something?



This leads into the new reputation system. A few of our veterans might remember that this is something we've played with in the past. I think this new system will really be revolutionary for any site of our magnitude. This reputation system will be deeply rooted in the forums, and will essentially let you wear the moderator pants. You won't be able to see your reputation 'score', or that of any other users. You will, however, have the option to give a good or bad reputation rating to any forum, thread, or post. Depending on how much and what kind of reputation you've been given by your peers, you could be the one who locks the board, and hides it from other users. Do you find a user’s particular post offensive? Give it negative reputation.



This puts the power of moderation in your hands, and leaves our user administrators free to deal with the meatier account support issues. We don't need to lock or delete topics that don't offend anyone, or make them upset. I personally feel like it's a huge step for any site to take, and I'm glad that we're the ones taking it.



Now, I want to invite you to help us improve our site. We have added the July 2008 Bug Fix category to the Suggestion Center. We want you to submit one (one per person, please!) bug that affects your everyday usage of Subeta. Something that annoys you more than anything else. Before you run off to make this bug report, please check that category and see if it's already been reported. The more time we spend sorting through them, the less time we have to actually fix them!



You may think that you're powerless or that you have very little impact on Subeta, but in reality you are all the driving force behind Subeta. If we make a change that does not agree with the whole community, we are usually quick to change it back, or make it better. You're creative when we aren't, and you're quick to think of how to improve something. That's why I'd like to point you to the suggestion center, which is ALWAYS open for your ideas. If you think of something that you think would be perfect for the (shh!) hidden island, don't hesitate to suggest it. Your fellow users appreciate this kind of creativity, as it gives them more to do as well.



Before we go, I'd like to remind you that Subeta is 100% user supported. Today we added a small unobtrusive text ad to the top of the forums. This small advertisement will help support the site in the near future, and we understand your concern about ads. I hate them as much (or more) as the next person, and am proud that Subeta is usually able to be supported without advertisements. We also don't sell your information to third parties. The cash shop paves the way for new programmers, new hardware, payment for the User Admins who help you from day to day, and help with the planning of future projects. We rely on your purchases, and at this time of growth and expansion it is going to be more important than ever. I know that we've had a lot of downtime lately, and you're probably hesitant to put down any amount of money; however I'm hoping that everyone realizes the impact that these changes are going to have. We feel confident, based on the changes we have already made, that you will not be disappointed. You can still help in other ways, too! Link to Subeta from your blog, or facebook/myspace. Bringing in new users is just as important as raising funds.



I'm sure that some of you are thinking you'd prefer this to be a youtube segment, with us talking face to face (so to speak). However, I feel that a medium that 100% of the users can see, and intake is the best for this type of message. However, I'm inviting you to go here where you can ask questions related to this announcement, and a special Keith answers segment will be dedicated to them.



Thank you for all of your support and understanding. Over the past four years I have grown a lot, and so has Subeta and its staff. I hope that we can spend many more years growing together.
- Keith Kurson and The Subeta Team

Harassment Policy Change





The harassment policy has been changed, basically we are no longer searching and warning for harassment. If you feel that another user is harassing you, please block them. If they continue to harass you, mail a User Admin, who can then help you.



Remember that if you block a user, that prevents from them sending you items, posting on your comments, send you mail, and other various areas of the site. Also, when you block a user you will no longer be able to read their forum posts, see their posts on the shoutbox, or see them in other various parts of the site.

Item not found: billboard



You may have noticed that we have recently been testing advertisements on the forums. We've run all kinds of (sketchy?!) ads, and have decided to try a new method. User Supported ads.



You can now mosey on over to the Cash Shop and buy the billboard item. When you use it, you'll be prompted for a 480x90 image, and a URL to link it to.



Right now, all ads must be approved before they display on the forums. What kind of ads can you run? Ads for your shop, your cult, your friends birthday, maybe just a message to all the forum goers? ;) If it's not allowed, you'll know when it gets rejected. (You'll get your cash shop credits back)



Note: Right now we are trying to keep ads limited to Subeta, or at least Virtual Pet Site content. This is only a test run, and we may allow more content in the future :)

July 29, 2008

Hi all! Hope you had a fantastic Pete day.



We will be taking Subeta offline for a brief period around 12 midnight, Subeta time (that's in approximately 2 hours) to complete the repairs on our database system. Estimated downtime (though that crafty Murphy has blown our estimates out of the water lately) is no more than 20 minutes, and probably a lot shorter.



What's happening: Last night sometime, several things happened: we identified a configuration problem with our main database server, which was making Subeta exceptionally slow and unstable. We also became aware of a hardware problem with both of our database servers: a particular component was inadequate and needed upgrading. Last night we moved the site to our secondary database server (fixing the config issue which fixed the site's stability and speeds) while the primary server's hardware was upgraded.



Earlier today, we moved the site back to the newly improved primary server so that our secondary server could be upgraded as well. Now that that's complete, we need to take the site down briefly while we synchronize the two servers. Once this is done, our secondary server will become a mirror of the main server, so if anything happens we can immediately switch to the backup without extensive downtime (like we switched to it last night.)



As always, thanks for your patience and support, and wish us luck!

Android Dystopia Costume Trunk
Mysterious Costume Trunk
Android Dystopia Costume Trunk






After barely surviving a freak accident, a young orphan boy is rescued by a group of scientists. His saviors are not all that they seem, as they replace the boys lost limbs with cybernetic implants with the intent to use him as a test subject in a top secret government program. They get more than they bargain for as the boy discovers he has powers greater than anyone imagined, greater than science alone could give him, and he escapes. Not wanting this potential threat to fall into enemy hands, the scientists assign another test subject to find the boy: a female android. She must hunt down the frightened and unstable boy and dispose of him before he is able to unleash his terrifying power.


You can find this costume trunk inside the Mysterious Costume Trunk, in the Cash Shop. :)


IMPORTANT: Each trunk contains twelve items, not all of which are featured in these previews.

Hi all! Don't worry, I'm not posting about more downtime. Quite the opposite, in fact.



If you recall from Keith's announcement to the users, we're going to be paying more attention (finally, right?) to all of the bugs we have that make Subeta frustrating to use. This starts now, with a change in how bugs are reported.



You may have already noticed, I've changed the link for the 'Problems and Bugs' forum to an actual forum. I think the new method for submitting bugs will be far more effective than the old one.



If you have information about any of our many bugs, please head over there and let us know. Make sure to read the reporting guidelines first, I've tried to describe how a proper bug report should be posted.



Once we get some bug reports in, we'll start creating 'official' bug reports, which you will then be able to monitor to see when they're being worked on or fixed.
