I'm not 100% sure, but it seems that between yesterday and today, my pets haven't gotten a single click. When normally by now, they'd have gone up a stage or two.
I think it has something to do with the site being down so often. The Myadopt server really isn't that stable, so many people use Myadopts it would seem. :/
Not really a whole lot we can do to stop that, and I don't think Steam would want to pay to upkeep his site by having his own domain. Plus all the coding that would be necessary to keep the site going. I know people who could probably do the coding but I don't think it'll come to that.
We need something to make this site bloom, something that'll gain us alot of new memebers quickly. Maybe offer a rare creature for a limited amount of time? Still the myadopts server being down so much is a big problem...

Ya, I agree, Violet. We do need something. I do try to click everyones pets every day. I think that many of the other people aren't even bothering anymore.

Myadopts is moving to a new, more stable server in a couple weeks. and its also going to become alot better, with added stuff like breeding, trading, ect.
so when that happens i'm going to become alot more serious about this site, and try to get more members in.
for now its just kind of waiting... *goes back to working on epic new adoptable*

Sweet, I can't wait for that new server. I also can't wait for the new adoptable Although, I am still going on a strike of buying adoptables until I know the set price of the User-specifics

Its good to know that Myadopts will be moving, I'm looking forward to it. Until then, do you think its best if we, loosly advertise? Or just don't advertise until the sites moved. I can see towns becoming very cluttered, if accounts aren't being used.

i'm not even sure HOW to advertise, aside from puting banners in our signitures.
actually i do have one way planned. Tyra (my best friend in RL) is going to make an adoptable site, and we are going to link them.
codes from mine to hers and from hers to mine.

Once the sites on its feet and we've got maybe... Lets say 100 members, perhaps you could consider dropping a little bit of real world money on an advertisement spot on a few high traffic sites? It might cost 2/5 dollars per site depending on how long you want the ad up, but the end result would make up for it. You could throw up an donations box, It might not generate alot of cash, but you could use it towards paid advertisement, or even funding to start up a site on your own domain.
If you decided to do that, and there just aren't enough small donations, you /could/ start up a reward for certain donations, like two dollars would be a small avatar sprite and 5 dollars could be an animated sprite (possibly a user-specific creature?)
Anyways that's my two cents on advertisement and a bit of investing. God I miss my business class. D: Why did I have to transfer.
As for Tyra, any idea what her site will focus on, or will it be a mixture like this one?

thats alot to think about @.@
Tyra's site is going to be random creatures like mine exept they are going to be in a little more "realistic" style.

very very small update. i added a shoutbox to the world map (i dont know why. i just thought i would add it XD)
and you can log in on the home page.
i've been thinking. when i create an adoptable and release it, there might be something that doeesnt look right on it or something. so i have decided to "hire" a certian amount of members to critique my work before i post it. probobly like 3.
i made a hidden thread on the forum about it, and if you would like to join, post saying so and ill PM you the thread link. i'm also going to post in the MyAdopts forum if anyone over there would like to join too

I want to as well! Also, what do you think the ACTUAL price for the user-specific adoptables will be? EDIT- Also, you may want to delete the still gigantic amount of goats on thewingeddragonofra's page.
