Ah okay. Having some interaction before hand is nice to start then. Plus I think some of the difficulty with learning to program for web is just how many pieces there are (html, css, javascript, then the backend language, database, if a framework is used etc...) so already being so knowledgeable...

Cool, let me know what you think. Working on a lot of updates for both of them, Eliyo is still in Beta, and then Animal Acres is going through a revamp (created years ago then I bought it and am updating).  So quite a while then. That's great. So as a front end developer have you worked with...

Hey @Merlin welcome to the Gaming List. What brings you here? Are you interested in any particular games?

Hey welcome to the Gaming List @Lucille that name does seem familiar, but can't put an avatar to it. I was on VPL as well. :) Always nice to have new members joining.  Do you play many sites or working on your own project?

Nice! Looks like there are quite a few already in there as well. Will have to spend some time checking them out. :) Thanks for working to build up the community.

Hey @Sapphire Welcome! Nice to have another former VPL user join us. I was a member of VPL as well and joined here once I learned about it after VPL went down. The community here is pretty nice and I have really enjoyed it. Quite of a few former members have made there way over as well along...

Hello @mariell welcome to the Gaming List. Are you a virtual pet site player?

Hi @Uber welcome to the Gaming List. :) I'm in a full stack web developer. I focus on PHP and MySQL with a decent amount of JavaScript thrown in as well. I actually work full time as a web developer as a profession and have two web games that I own and developer for (Eliyo and Animal Acres)...

Owners Are any site owners doing anything fun for the upcoming fall season? Either for a holiday or just during the time period? Players Do you enjoy seasonal events or seasonal layouts? What would you like to see for seasonal events and specifically with fall, Halloween, or Thanksgiving...

Animal Acres came with a pretty good community. I think what helps foster is has definitely been being approachable and open to feedback and different opinions. That has helped with Eliyo, but it's still not that developed yet. But I think people appreciate when you listen, give reasoning for...

Hey @Martyn cool to see you becoming involved in helping the community here. :)  I'm sure you'll do a good job to foster the community. 

Agree it really depends on the different cases. If it's obvious someone is exploiting, I would ban them, as that has an overall detrimental effect on the game for everyone. If it's not as obvious, would need to make a judgement call then. And also depends on severity as well. Some minor issues...

I havent done much marketing overall, but I have facebook accounts I post to, and a twitter and tumbl for Eliyo. Doesn't get a ton of traffic I don't think, but some. I also used to use VPL for that, game I signature and news post. Now I use this site some instead. But my focus right now is more...

Recently I've been pretty motivated to program and develop ideas for my games, though Eliyo has seen the most fruit so far, but I have a bigger update for Animal Acres in the works. My time is limited unforunately so I do have to balance between a full time job and general life too. But it's...

@Kesstryl Good to hear. I do wonder though, what are you paranoid against exactly? Not a critique, just curious as to what exactly you are trying to prevent. 

I think it's generally better to wait until you have something more polished. If you are able to release a study stream of updates releasing earlier can work too. But it's hard to keep up that pace even if it's your full time job.  It can be good to get feedback though, but I think it might be...

Are you referring to your new video upload section? It's a neat concept I haven't seen before, though not sure I would have any particular use for it myself. Are the videos directly hosted on your site and viewed using your sites bandwidth? I could see that being expensive so that might be...

I'll take them if still available. Message me your paypal. :)

Nice introduction! Should be  a good starting point for people who haven't used version control yet which is definitely recommend for any project that is meant to last longer than a day. :)

Sounds interesting to me. I was never big into Teripets but I am pretty sure I had an account. Other than that don't remember much about it. Would be interesting to see the original preserved and for it to have it's own world to play in redone.
