Naamah D. Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Wouldn't it be great if the pound had a search by species option? For example you just type in "Tuskaninny" or "Acara" and it shows nothing but those pets! That would be amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spastastic Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I've always thought that would be nice! On a vaguely similar note (because I always have to wade through them), is it just me or have you noticed that there is a disproportionately large amount of grundos in the pound? I feel like maybe people go to the Space Station and adopt a grundo just out of curiosity, then abandon them when they decide they don't ACTUALLY want one as a permanent pet...

I love my Grundo, Dhalia! I think the main reason people adopt them is because of the colors(purple, brown, white etc...), their intelligence is "dim witted", and it's almost like people take the poor dears as "Joke" or "Novelty" pets. Have you noticed that alot of abandond pets have names like "08789868568" or "Adoptmeplease" or "IhatethisNeopet" or even "crappycrapcrap"? That's never going to find those pets a good home! Then if the pet gets sick and the owner says "Oh, he got sick....not my problem anymore!" and dumps them in the pound. Get off your rear end and help your pet get BETTER! Sorry...I just had to rant... :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethelune Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I agree. To me, a search-by-species feature would make finding a Jetsam for the avatar so much easier... but maybe that's why TNT doesn't implement it, so folks have to put in some sort of effort to obtain rare, limited-edition pets. :P Actually, I feel like many steps could be taken to make the pound better, overall. Seeing only three pets at a time is annoying when you'd like to browse as efficiently as possible, especially once the pets that randomly appear begin repeating themselves. :S A list of all the pets currently in the pound would be amazing, especially if you could order them by name, species, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry...I just had to rant... :angry: I hate seeing the names some people give their pets... I was pound-surfing during Hissi Day to see if I wanted to adopt any of the pets inevitably abandoned whenever LE pets come out, and I saw a lenny named something along the lines of "practice_hissi." Seriously?? I did end up adopting a female blue uni with a name I liked, "Jalabur." On the same account that I have my grundo, actually, who I plan to someday paint faerie. I like faerie grundos a lot. :) EDIT: Hey, that was my 50th post and I'm now a "Cool Person." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 It would, and I'm surprised TNT hasn't implemented this yet. I'd also like it if there was a "search by color" option, but the problem with that is, it would be even harder to get a non-basic colored pet. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this talk about the pound made me adopt a pet! He's a Bori named Cody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yoshinho Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I would like if that happened. It would be much easier to find what you want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahtaxotep Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Search by species is a really great idea. I like to pick up all those poor abandoned Grundos and read them books while zapping them in the hope they'll become something someone will love. Actually, I feel like many steps could be taken to make the pound better, overall. Seeing only three pets at a time is annoying when you'd like to browse as efficiently as possible, especially once the pets that randomly appear begin repeating themselves. :S A list of all the pets currently in the pound would be amazing, especially if you could order them by name, species, etc. It could be cool if you could choose how many pets you wanted to view per page and maybe you could deactivate all the informatin except the name, or at least things like personality attributes, so you could fit more to a page when browsing.

So many repeats. I don't like this. I want more pets to be shown. Also the search by species idea is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry...I just had to rant... :angry: especially since one of the dailies pretty much has a one in 7 chance of healing your pet.....salamandraise gets sick and maybe shes sick for a couple of days. i dont understand why adopting a sick pet is such a taboo either..... and you guys arent thinking clearly. if there was a page that showed everything, only the people with SUPERFASTCOMPUTER would EVER get nice pets. this way it is more fair. i love TNT for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDragoness101 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Well, it's a 50-50 for me. On the plus side, it saves time. But when your browsing, you may say "OMG I love that pet so much more!" *adopt* Actually, I was gonna adopt a shouru (OK I can't spell it!) 'cause my bro and I decided to share my account. So I got rid of Hanna, my Xweetok. My bro decided to sympathize, and when we passed it, i got Hanna back. So I can live with it the way it is.

Scarlet Fever Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 It's a great idea, but I wonder what kind of impact that would have on grabbing LE pets and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarryEyed502 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Back in the stone ages, there was a search (by colour and species I think). It got disabled though as it slowed the site down loads. Would be good to have it back, though I wonder how much it could be abused... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
