the_monkey asked:
When do you plan to release a new pet species?
There are already plenty of pets available on the site, and therefore, no new pets will be appearing for a good amount of time.

asked:
Are there going to be any flash games soon?
Flash games have posed a problem, as without extra-high security measures, a member can edit any given game to give them a "fixed" score, thus earning them something like 1,000,000 sP. Work has been done on this, and you most likely will see a good number of flash games appearing in the future. For now however, there are much more pressing features we must attend to.
Lorlor asked:
How do you get a different coloured person beside your name?
These little colored 'people icons' are to help users identify themselves and others as Staff, Gold Users, or regular members. A large majority of the people, the normal users, appear blue. With a Gold Account, the color changes from Blue to well, Gold. Staff members are always red.
Phyrexia asked:
When are the broken images going to be fixed? I'm really sick of seeing a little red 'x' where my pet is supposed to be.
We apologize for this, but sometimes, due to the lab zapper or an elixir that should not have been released, a pet will transform into a color that it is not yet available in. Many instances of this have been recorded with gold pets, due to the errors we've been having with the words "gold" and "golden". The best thing that you can do is submit a ticket and wait for the problem to be addressed.

WynterFlames asked:
What are the chances of Dragon Elixirs being released? I would really love to see them, as I have a pet that needs to be a dragon.
The Dragon has not been receiving much attention lately, so yes! You should see Dragon Elixirs showing up on the site in the upcoming days.

crows asked:
Are Waradors going to get redrawn?
Yes. This Spring, the Waradors will be redrawn to match the structure of the Dark Matter Warador. They will also have bigger staves too... those tiny little wands just aren't cutting it. ;D

Bob asked:
When is the Subeta Tribune going to come back? I miss all the article-goodness.
The Subeta Tribune was cut recently because of the amount of time and (art)work it took to create. Right now we're working on much cooler stuff than a smelly-old newspaper, but I assure you it will be back soon! This is the reason why there is this editorial right now; to tame the mind's cravings for well-written Subeta Tribune articles.

wicked_chiq asked:
How on earth do I put up my avatar?
This is actually quite simple. In order to do this, you click 'Preferences' on the sidebar. You will be directed to another page. On this page, you will click the link entitled 'Forum Preferences'. There, you should see the option to 'Change Avatar'. If you are the owner of a Gold Account, which can be purchased at $5.00 per month, you can upload your own avatar. Otherwise, there are still a ton of really nice official ones for you to use.

Mythica asked:
Which staff member is the fairest of them all?
All the staff members do loads of hard work, but some of us actually -are- more tubular than others. For instance, the plushified child below.
Soon however, there will actually be a poll for you to vote for your favorite staff members. So, whether you are the biggest Quetzal fanatic, or are most fond of Bob's stern, commando-like demeanor, be sure to come out and vote!

asked:
Why can people without gold accounts have up to only 5 pets,can't use the battleing systems, and donations? It's not fair to probably the thousands on subeta who don't have gold acounts. Instead of limiting subetan access for money, have a company sponsor you. The more people you get the more money.
he entire concept of paying real-life currency for a Gold Account on the site is to give us some sort of financial leverage in addressing the many bills we are faced with. In return for this money, it is only fair that the owners of the Gold Accounts receive at least some special benefits for their generosity.
Have a company sponsor you. This sounds like an easy concept, but it takes hours and hours of hard work. We are currently in the process of negotiating with Sears, and have heard back from Nickolodeon and Verizon. Until then however, we are almost fully dependant on donations and our Items_For_Cash shop.

Nymphangel asked:
Can Keith Drive?
Funny thing you should ask this. From what ive heard Keith is...well...lets just say its a good thing he cant legally drive. While backing out of his driveway, and texting one of his friends, Keith backed into a tree. Seeing his mistake he pulled foward and started to back out again only to back into the same tree...again. And..again. But on the other hand id feel safer with him driving than XPrimalEyesX.

matrix_angel_001 asked:
Who comes up with the item descriptions? I love to read them! They're incredibly funny and witty! XD
Actually, our dear beloved artists come up with their own descriptions for the items that they draw. They're an odd bunch, but most excellent for entertainment.

effie5413 asked:
Why do only really good artists get in the oekaki?
The normal oekaki is for everyone not just really good artists, but there are some rules to abide by. Which a link the them can be found on the front page of the oekaki. An advanced oekaki is also avaliable, which may appear like only really good artists get in. Though the entrance rules to get into the advanced are only bit more strict than the normal. Both oekakis are a fun place to meet different artists of all different styles. You can also learn new art techniques there as well. So if you have not tried the oekaki before you should!

HibiscusLily asked:
How do you guys make your art, besides having VERY talented artists? Do you use Flash or Photoshop?
They chain the artists in a basement and only feed them when they only create very beautiful pieces of work. Okay... that's not true. Its hard to say they all use one specific program as each individual artist has their own comfort program. The programs that have said to be used among the staff artists are: Adobe Photoshop (ranging from 7.0 to CS), Macromedia Flash, Open Canvas 4.0, and Paint Shop Pro.

MarTW asked:
How do you get Restocking Royalities? I don't understand how they're gained.
To get Restocking Royalities all you have to do is buy something from one of Subeta's many main shops.

wuyababie asked:
How come when you go to black heart hollow it says theres nothing there?
The Blackheart Hollow holds very rare and expensive items. It restocks randomly and not very often. When you see something stock, to buy them you need Wizard tokens.

Foxxis asked:
Does Subeta have a FAQ page? I've got many questions and dont like to be bothered by the forums. (I'm quite the anti-social) ;)
MaNdEeCaT asked:
Are you ever going to make a commercial or movie of Subeta?
Honestly, would people really like to see the staff sitting around a table talking about the things we usually talk about? Lets think about this for a minute. Keith would be sitting at the head of the table complaining that he had to leave early to go buy a new pair of sun glasses, which only would cost him 500 dollars...but thats ok, they're cute. David would be at the other side of the table pushing away his many fan girls and sharpening his swords (with the bones of users he has killed with it of course). Becca and Debi would be arguing. About what you ask? No the real question is when do they not argue. While Becca is arguing with Debi shes also trying to sneek peaks under the table at Chelle and Marlene, for they are female. Miriam went out for tea, Kara is wandering the halls in search of a fire alarm to pull, and I am hiding under the table. The Artists are another story completly. Mythica is dancing on their table, while the rest are throwing money and poor Tategami is locked in a cage. Now, does that sound like something anyone in the right mind would watch? No, I think not.

flowerpetals asked:
Will you be releasing more Celinox and Kora colors? I've noticed they have been neglected lately, especially with Hydrus, Reborn, Spectrum, and Dark Matter.
Well, as you can tell, the artists have been hard at work drawing for the new avatar system of ours. It's really drained alot of their personal time to work on pet colors. However, now that the project has been released and there are very few items left to be drawn, pet colors should be slightly more plentiful. We can't spill when your ideal pets will be released, though!

NarutoFan05 asked:
Where do I go to re-read the Terms and Conditions?
Subeta's Terms and Conditions are located at the bottom of every page. We suggest all new and old users alike to reread them every now and again.
