Even though they aren't an original concept, I was hoping the whole cloning thing would make us a bit unique. I see more people have the idea of dinosaur adopts now and, I really just don't have it in me to compete anymore.
no! please don't shut this down! i love your designs & lineart here. Please don't be discouraged, dino labs is amazing and i'd hate to see it close down so quickly.
personally i think its awesome that more dinos suddenly popped up, and im sure they mean no harm, they just wanna spread the dino love too! you're not really competing with them at all! your designs and lineart are unique from the others, which will draw users here. ^^
Don't worry about being "original enough". simply by posting adopts every now and again and you'll stay up with enough interest and a loyal following of users.
Users who go to the other dino adopts probably also come here- they're likely to be dino lovers after all. for example, i've mostly stuck around here but i do still take an interest in the other adopts. perhaps try becoming affiliates with the other dino adopts? that way users who visit their adopts will likely come here too. idk, just an idea but i think it might be worth a try?
whatever you do i hope you won't be completely discouraged by the other adopts, you're amazing and i'd love to see dino labs continue. you've got everyone who's posted here supporting you, and probably als other users who are yet to post. we hope things will go well and we've got your back. <3
