This is going to be a bit of a rant, but if there's one common thing that pet sites do that I absolutely despise, it's when they ban any and all mentions of other pet sites on their forums. Chicken Smoothie, Lioden and Wolvden are some of the most active pet sites around, yet they believe in this frankly damaging idea that mentioning competition will drive their playerbase out of the game and to their competitor. That usually doesn't happen unless your game sucks or you know your game sucks enough if you think people will hoof it the moment they hear of any other game like it. ?
The market for pet sites is becoming more and more scarce and I honestly think it's because adults and kids alike believe that only Flight Rising, Chicken Smoothie and Neopets are the only pet sites that exist, and it's no wonder why! You can't talk about any other site. I think this mentality should stop, but that's just me.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
