Lot's of money to spend, but not a lot to do. They really want to make a game site like Neopets, but they seem to only really do custom art.
Most of the site has been unusable and empty since the BLM bundle, with very few front end changes.
They need less focus on custom art and a bigger push for casual front end use, with actual interactivity.
Their discord seems to be where 90% of the activity is. I've seen folks make similar comments to mine be blown off or talked down to, which is ROUGH, but overall people are chill there.
I would LOVE for this site to pop off and be what it's aiming to be (custom art included!) Currently, it's just a pet commission site with a Gaiaonline type character builder (very pretty but awful to navigate.)
No disrespect, it's been a rough few years. I wish you all luck.
