The long awaited Alliances arrive, and look great! Amazing job!

I've filled it out  Reading over some of the questions really made me think of the audio book I'm going through right now (and almost done).  It's called "Actionable Gamifications" - more specially it's all about Octalysis.

I'm not 100% sure what your paper is on, but it may help glean some insight.

I love reading about changes to referral systems.  What are some tweaks that you have done in the past to help with your site's growth?

That looks really nice Good luck finding a developer to support!

I hope you can find a good home for Chibipaws! I would hate to see all of the hard work go to waste.

@Travis Is amazing to work with

I hope it goes really well - the art is amazing!

@banshee @skellri I'd be interested in building one of these and have a few ideas of how to build it, but I always struggle with growing the community surrounding it.

I think it is a very interesting conversation, I found out more about it and it’s definitely something I’m interested in looking into a little more. 

I've never heard of "bodyshop" at all.

As for the moving them around and updating in realtime, that's where JavaScript/WebAssembly can help.  You can capture where the user clicks and then send an "update" saying they moved to whatever the position is.  And then other constantly poll, or use websockets to communicate between all of the active clients of the changes (i.e. moving, or new text).

You should be able to use any programming language really to make it.  You would either want to have JavaScript or WebAssembly on the front end (JavaScript being easier).  And the backend would be a fairly simple API.

They sounds interesting - the people on discord helped me to understand the concept a bit more.  I guess my question to you is what would make the thing you want to build different than the rest that are shutting down most likely due to funding?

Yeah - that works Paypal's automated things are helpful  Glad you figured it out!

That's terrible that the programmer did that to you I hear that story way too often.  @banshee what is a graphical chat site? I've never really heard of anything named this before.

I haven't used / been around SiteGround at all unfortunately I am not too sure what you can do in this situation.

This looks amazing!

They really don't want this site to die, do they?
Just keep it in its zombie state since 2018, huh?

Have a bot just keep creating random accounts that make the site look like it's active and still visited by people?
As Carl told me once, huh? As the dingus who didn't snap a screenshot of that particular convo before he straight up purged all of his convos/comms from everyone's inboxes on site, I ain't got proof but I'm putting this out there.

There are no more admins on the site that actually care about Ver.
The only (ex-)admin who was trying to get content out was powerless to do much about it.
No one's able to buy of this site just because the site owner is literally uncontactable.

Why is this site still up? What are you guys hoping to achieve?

Yeah it's a very unfortunate situation.  The silly thing is, I received their contact information from @LobstahMoney and was able to text and he responded very quickly when I mentioned that the domain had expired, but then when I approached the topic of buying it again I got radio silence.  It's unfortunate such a liked site has to die this miserable death

Well it looks like verpets may, officially, be dead and in the dirt now. The domain expired :0

Well that sucks

You are doing great! Migrating sites is never easy, keep it up @Bedouin and Curly!

No worries It happens

Aww thank you for the kind words! ❤️

Yeah Patreon is a risk but with the amount of time and effort put into it having the support helps.

That and the server bills, the sudden growth means I have to keep upgrading the servers lol.

You can hop onto our discord server (link is on our site, not sure about the rules of linking here) to check up the updates and keep in the know, and don't worry - we have applications. Right now it's every 4 months as we want to slowly grow (instead of massive leaps) but it may become more frequent soon. The next sign up date is the 15th of December and when you visit the site that day it will show a button to link you to the application form to join.

Also, if you're really interested and what to see what we have to offer, if you hop on the discord and message me I can give you an invite link to join our test server. Though the experience isn't fully the same - it'll give you a general feel of the site to see if it's worth applying/supporting. ❤️

I'm already on the discord server  I applied the last time applications came around but unfortunately didn't get picked, but that's luck of the draw  I'm really looking forward to seeing where this can go!

And yea, I completely understand the value in doing the Patreon, development is not easy and it takes dedication and the desire, and to be just you doing stuff and it not bringing in any money is rough mentally! I know that from experience  

I absolutely love this! I use MFA everywhere that supports it, it started out as "an annoying thing we do at work".  But then the value of it slowly crept in.  It's available on TGL as well for anyone who wants to use it.

Thank you @Jackalune and Lythbound team for keeping security of accessing accounts top of mind!

Ugh That sucks!  Do you have any error reporting set up for the site? I'm using Sentry.io on my sites to keep track of issues that come up.

As always, absolutely amazing!
