Well, I've decided to give Subeta a shot after something like five years of Neopets. I understand you guys have a much better forum system, but I'm really just here for the critters. :1
Hello, and welcome to salvation :P
I left Neopets for Subeta over three years ago, and have never looked back. I could ramble on for quite a while about what makes this place awesome, but I don't want to bore you to death.
The only thing I'm really worried about is the fact that Subeta seems to be a little less pet-oriented than I'd like. I figure that probably depends on how you play things, though.
It's true that the pets here are more of a component of the site than the main focus of it, but I think that lets everyone play Subeta how they would like to. If you're more of a pets person, then you can colour them, zap them, battle them, and play with them. If you like Human Avatars, you can put together a massive wardrobe and dress yours up a thousand different ways. Like to role play, debate or just chat with other users? Then there's a wide array of forums to choose from with a lot of freedom to express yourself without living in fear of getting frozen arbitrarily. There's also a booming artist community, quests to do, and plots and puzzles to work out. You can also mix and match any of those interests any way you want! :)
