jupitercrashx Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 The basic ones.. - Not hiring a decent team of artists. There is only one person who draws mediocre art for the site. And she has since day 1. - Not hiring more people to help maintain the site. When there's an error with coding or something, it can go unfixed for a week or more. - Choosing some poor features around the site. - Bad advertising. 90% of new users seem to be 11 year old girls. He does talk to the public but so do a lot of owners of small pet sites.
xXMoonlightXx Posted December 9, 2007 Author Posted December 9, 2007 I know what you mean he hired ads filled with ummm unappriatote sexual content and alot of ads asaying YOU WIN! which bugs me alot
jupitercrashx Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Ah. Yeah. I forgot that one. Ads are cluttered everywhere. :S
antiaircraft Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Adblock does a good job with those ads. :P But still, even Neopets' advertising is getting worse.
xXMoonlightXx Posted December 10, 2007 Author Posted December 10, 2007 yes i agree putting down that virus *sign* when will they learn >< see that what happens when sites last long uhhh
cpvr Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I'd like to point out that difficulty =/= quality.Just because Marapets is easier doesn't mean that it is a better game, it just has less to work for. Oh, and Marapets is based off of IPB with mods, so... I wouldn't give it much credit. Petsites have been around for a long, long time. Marapets is nothing special, nor new. ;) Not anymore. mara doesn't use IPB.
xXMoonlightXx Posted December 10, 2007 Author Posted December 10, 2007 ANyway marapets too easier you buy orphing potions off of a shop and stuff in marapet white, brown etc. are not that rare and stuff =/ he made it tooo easy
7r6 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 im on mara.. it it a total hopeless remake of neo. the pets/graphics/games are all pretty bad. i dunno why i still go on there, but yeah. if it had a BC sort of thing then i would love it a lot more. anyway my username is brownbunny22 if anyone wants to talk to me. (and please do.. its terribly boring)
Cookielover Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 I tried powerpets once, but it wasn't nearly as good as neopets.
sparkie :3 Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I tried going on a few dirfferent sites but they were no where near as good. Like Subeta.. they have really cute pets and awesome colors, ( like koras.. and colors like galactic and darkmetter..spectrum) but its so confusing to get around and everything. I got annoyed and quit. After ONE day. Neopets PWNS.
vicjw Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I agree with sparkie :3 . There are other similar sites available and I wouldnt condemn others for using them but for me, Neopets is user friendly, and has well established forums and fansites such as TDN. Neopets can be so much more than other sites; if i want to release stress I can play zen games, if I want to see how lucky i'm feeling I can go play Tombola, I can bet for neopoints, I can banter with noobs on the neoboards. Other sites may have these things but they've not really stood the test of time in my book! I personally prefer Neopets because I know that if I dont have the time or find myself having a new fixation, I can always return to Neopets. Sure, my neopet maybe a little upset and angry but with a lil TLC it's like I never left.
Maximum Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 nothing can beat neopets! i tried playing marapets but got bored of it after 30 mins XD
_Zafia_ Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 i think the other sites like marapets, subuta and powerpets looks very noobish.
Maximum Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 yeah. their trying to copy neopets but their not good at graphics so their pets look sooo ugly
youngrace Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 after the last thread about marapets, i kind of feel bad for them...i can't get addicted to another pet website though. o_O too time-consuming.
