Mostly out of spite! After 5 years of playing Flight Rising I got banned over a grey area rule/scam. I've known multiple people that suffered under the ban hammer- the way FR deals with their customer service/support makes me very angry because even though logically they're just pixels, they can represent a lot to people: friendships, community, 'employment' (both on site employment and selling art/services in the forums), a way to relieve stress and escape from hardships in life.... to have that ripped out from under your feet is monumentally devastating.
So I wanted to make a pet site that focused on having a reliable and more understanding approach to dealing with rule breaking, punishments and the like (ya know, actually using the suspension feature to punish mild infractions instead of straight up banning).
Plus there's not much in the way of sci fi or dinosaurs out there, so trying to slide in on that cx
