I’m not going to add much because it’s already been said, and more eloquently than I could have. People are being pretty clear.
The “At least it’s not as bad as other pet sites” sentiment made me snort laugh because I don’t play those pet sites - by choice - and it’s pretty much pointing to a clear choice for me here, isn’t it? I’ve stubbornly resisted it because the things I like about this site, I really, really like.
I’m truthfully not sure why I was expecting anything different with this event but I’m more of an optimist than I ever knew I was. Oops. I’m just so disappointed and discouraged.
