Virtual Pets Blog

One of our largest sites in our network, Virtual pet list has finished 2007 off with a high note - and with one of the greatest internet comebacks that that the virtual pet community has ever seen. With the merger of Virtual pet list of Virtual pet forums occuring in early September - many users decided to either, go with the flow - or run away from the community - because they couldn’t trust us - or didn’t believe that we could unite both communities and create a great community, however, with all the haters - and bad publicity, we’ve managed to make 2007 a great year for us, and we hope 2008 will be an even better year for us.

In the year of 2007, our owner, Carlos Andrade was interviewed by TheAdminZone.
We’ve had the following accomplishments for 2008 thus far: Theadminzone chooses Virtual pet list as the featured community for January 2008.

So, you don’t believe us? As of this writing - and we believe that these stats will double by the end of the year, Virtual pet list currently has 7,352 threads, 92,010 posts, and 2,541 members. So, we’re working hard this year - just like last year, and we hope this year won’t have any downtime - or database crashes like 2007 endured, but we believe, with a new year, brings many changes - and we hope to increase our overhaul activity, and reach even wider audiences.

With the talks of Neopets’ (Neostudios) in the works - and with that rumored to happen at the end of the year - we will be the #1 site on the web bringing users updates to all neostudious - changes and such, so stay tuned for that.

So, what’s going to happen to Virtual pet list in 2008? Well, my vision has always been creating a great community - and a great portal - so hopefully this year will be our greatest ever. We hope to reshape the community, and bring many different things - such as, a blog for the main site - with updates, news, rumors, and interviews surrounding our current niche. Hopefully we can branch off - and reach different niches, all within one domain name. But without the staff members to push our community to the limits, it can’t be done, but currently with our high-profile staff members, we believe our vision can be made possible - and bring our users to change. But without our active members & supporters, change may be hard, but we’re all for it.

We’re going to try our best to be more active, and promote our site to the masses - and hopefully strike more partnerships - with bigger profile sites in our niche, such as, other neopets cheating sites - or neopets fansites that are dedicated to one virtual pet site - and that’s Neopets, however, with partnerships, bring change, and with partnerships, we’ll be able to attract the neopets users to our users - which means, more users for all the virtual pet site owners - but of course, the drama needs to stop - and the owners need to come together and be nicer to one another, and not strive to attention whores. We agree with Tezeti who has said multiple times that “pet games should not be a competitive industry”, but instead be more of a fun - industry, where users come together and share ideas, and help one other succeed.

But, without the force trying to stop the drama, and making the community come together, it may be tough, but change is coming, and we’re the people to bring change. Not, the people who always vision change, but never do, no, no, that’s not us. We’re risk-takers, and if we say something is to be done, then we’ll do it.

So, of course, you guys will possible see a new era on Virtual pet list real soon - such as, the main site coming back, with a ton of changes - and instead of directories, everything will be blog-powered, and users can submit comments that every single pet site listed.
