MBTI and astrology people taking shots at each other will never not be funny, two sides of the same cringe coin

What other pet sites are out there? Any recommendations? Preferably something that doesn't have everything but the ugliest and most basic stuff locked behind premium currency, if possible. Looking at you, neopets.

Wasn't there a neopets spin off at the same time? It had zombies and stuff?

Off the top of my head (and you might try looking at other posts, because this is asked pretty often), Sylestia, Gryffs, Aywas, Furvilla, Chicken Smoothie, Khimeros. Leayphs. DragonCave.

and a ton of others ,but mostly those are dead or dying.

sylestia is fun but grindy, in an rpg battle kind of way

battles actually do require thought, though, and there is a storyline you can go through at your own pace

Pet customization is different than in flight rising, it works by actual color hex codes, a slightly more complex gene inheritance mechanic than fr, "costumes", and also leveling up your pets is challenging but rewarding

the breeding-for-stats and catching mechanics is not unlike pokemon, actually, if you are into that

(also there is equipment! stat distribution and rpg party mechanics matter!)

the events and contests are fun too

Yeah, I am currently on a break from Sylestia. Still check in, but too grindy for me at the moment.

But I do love the pets, and the art is nice as well.

Chicken Smoothie is slowly dying due to lack of care from staff and mods allowing blatant scammers to run rampant - I've been on the site since pretty much the early days but honestly cannot recommend it to new users in good faith.

Subeta!

Re: OT Thread

(Anonymous) 2022-05-18 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Same anon. I'll expand: Subeta is a "petsite" in that you can have pets, I think max 60 or something though it takes a while to open new slots. It's also got an expansive dress-up aspect which allows for custom wardrobe items from users (basically the equivalent to FR's custom skins and accents, but for a humanoid avatar). It is also insanely item-based, over 70,000 unique items with ever-increasing art quality, so collecting is huge. I think some people can be overwhelmed by it, but the site has a "no item is ever permanently retired" policy so there's always more chances, and as you play you acquire lots of items. If you like getting New Stuff and Things, collecting, dress-up, writing and coding pet profiles (full CSS support for it!), this site has a lot to do.

Prefacing this with "mods I'm so sorry I hope this stays civil", but...

Anyone else not been able to get an ask in to SRM in AGES? Like, I fully get Tumblr eats asks and they filter some stuff but when even 100% positive things don't go through I'm starting to feel like they blocked me somehow, lol.

Am I just tinfoiling here? Do they actually have like, 2 weeks' worth of queued posts somehow?? What gives?

Re: SRM gripes

(Anonymous) 2022-05-20 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't answer that, nonny, bc I don't frequent SMR, but from everything I've seen, the mods are a tad biased, so it wouldn't surprise me if they simply don't post shit they don't like or is about someone they know/like.

(It's why I like ARR more.)

Re: SRM gripes

(Anonymous) 2022-05-24 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Every time i open ARR its full of people flinging at eachother over discourse I wouldn't even dream of. Too embarrassing to read through and just gets the worst asks. I get why SMR would filter stuff out.

Re: SRM gripes

(Anonymous) 2022-05-20 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)
pretty sure its just tumblr eating asks. several asks ive sent to friends lately have disappeared into the ether.

Re: SRM gripes

(Anonymous) 2022-05-20 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
if they aren't posting even innocuous stuff your asks really probably got eaten. it's an obnoxiously common problem

Re: SRM gripes

(Anonymous) 2022-05-20 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you trying to include links? The ask will 100% get eaten if you're trying to do that.

No links included at all, obviously some of the stuff was salt but a lot was entirely innocent or, again, even positive :/

Tried to send in an ask on VPN and it went through - it really seems they blocked me or something which is incredibly bizarre because I can still like and reply to the posts on my account... Guess that solves that, at least.

Your IP got blocked - if someone else on the same IP sent an anon ask and was blocked, it will block all anon asks from that IP.
