re: pet profiles being broken again when v2.0 goes live/hopefully something to soothe the mind In a news post about new pet profiles, it was mentioned that the pet profiles would have a legacy system, so the old stuff would stay and hopefully be visible as usual until you were ready to switch to the new ones. :X I have no idea if they gave up on this or not, but Bug mentioned in a previous general updates topic that they would be making a post about the new pet profiles soon, so that's something to look out for! Thought you might find this useful, if you haven't seen it already.
As for nicknames & questions, I'm pretty sure that's going to be optional, or at the very least removable with CSS? Would be really weird if it wasn't in an otherwise customizable pet profile.
We're working on a larger revamp of the pet profiles to make them modular like the user profiles. This will be an upgrade that you opt in to, and the current style profiles will be around for a long time.
One of those modules will be questions, like on charahub, because we've found (on that site, which had over 100,000 users ;)) that having prompts helps people be creative more than "oh yeah you can add questions if you think of them and also figure out how to code them in".
Thanks for your concern, we'll be looking for feedback on our pet profile plan in the future.
