There's the classic rival site monoPETS.com, although they've undergone a renovation since the last time I've read about the debate between them. Oh gee. . . I've heard some pretty nasty things about them. Like that the owner asked for donations to make the site better and instead they went to buying a birthday present for his daughter. . . |

When I was down on the Neopets Staff during the time when it seemed that they were taking absolutely EVERYTHING away (Switch-a-Roo, Treasure Hunt, dubloons from deckswabber and deckball, etc. etc. etc.) my guild was all feeling very morose and saying that it could be the end of Neopia, or at least of Neopia's golden age. So I got into looking around for virtual pet sites that we could all transfer to if worst came to worst. Well, I went to no less than a dozen sites and none of them came ANYWHERE close to being as good as Neopets. Neopia is truely one of a kind! True, true... very true... Maybe we should... yes... idea.. >=D |

The minwax can was supposed to be a clip art of minwax (I should know... I gave Tahara that script itdea...) but she had to edit it out. I know, that's why I used it as an example... |

The problem is, I don't know if Neopets would allow you to mention the names of "rival" sites (if that's what you're planning) in something in the NT. As you discovered, they don't even let people mention them on the chat boards, which are much more of a free-for-all (I'm sure you can mention Glade Plug-Ins, Minwax and Pokemon on the chat boards, for instance.  ) Thanks, Tdyans! Actually, I'm not going to mention their names per-se. Alll will be revealed shortly... *insert Twilight Zone music here* |

Lapin, like I said earlier, an article like that would probably never be allowed to be published... That's what I was going to say. Neopets doesn't exactly want their rival sites to be advertised, even in a negative way. |

Me no advertise! Me testing... If you're letting people know that they exist, you're advertising. Maybe if you refrain from using the names of the sites and the names of the pets on them. . . |
