What pet sites do you miss that are no longer online?

Club Penguin’s users were able to have private servers, which Neopets doesn’t offer. This made Club Penguin expensive to run according to a former staff member.

However, Neopets doesn’t offer private servers, which likely makes it cheaper to run. We’ll never really know how much it costs to run Neopets unless a staff member comes out and discusses it.

However, considering how big Neopets is, I’d say its expensive to run.

Club Penguin didn’t have traditional advertisements, but it did include various forms of in-game promotions and paid memberships that offered additional features, items, and access to exclusive areas.

Neopets isn’t ad-free. They have advertisements and Neocash.

Ah brilliant, thanks for that. I actually learnt a lot there. 😀
 
So if Club Pengion was expensive to run, does that also mean Neopets will be expensive to run? They were/are both ad free aren't they?
Both of them were expensive to run but they are making the money back from their various means of monetization. Club Penguin couldn't withstand the competition they were facing at the time when they went underground.
 
i definitely miss shidonni the most. it's such a shame it's gone!
I didn’t get the chance to play Shidonni, smh. What are some of the things that you miss about it? Do you have any screenshots of its pets or gameplay?
 
Are there any pet sites that you miss playing or would make a comeback? What dead pet sites do you miss playing?
 
The one that I previously owned and created that was stolen by a partner. 😒

So much time went into it. It was wake up, check what's working, go to school, get back home, do homework, and code till sleep.
 
I miss playing on Subeta's predecessor, Panfu! It was a very adorable game with a strong focus on community and creativity. I also miss the original version of Marapets. It had more immersive feel to it.
Panfu was so cute. I miss playing on Chibipaws, it was a very simple but addictive site with a wide variety of pets.

Subeta owned NeuroGalaxy at one point, but I don’t believe Keith ran Panfu. He did own Valenth though.

These were some of Valenth’s pets.

Chibipaws was fun while it lasted. It was sold by its former owner, but the new owner didn’t bring it back online, smh.

Also, does anyone remember Lurapets?

How could I forget those adorable, customizable pets and the thrill of exploring the world. It's a memorable experience.

I still recall the Club Penguin commercials that made me give it a try, still a fun site.
There was a fan made project called Club Penguin Journey and it was recently shut down by its owner. There’s still two or 3 fan made projects floating around though.
