Hello all users of Another Digimon Adoptables. As the owner of this site, I'm going to go ahead and break the fourth wall that I like to keep up around here for a moment to speak to you about something very important. I know this is long and may take a while to read, but please take a minute or two and read everything. If you don't, I'm afraid you may inadvertently put this site out of business.
As some of you may know, the site had disappeared for nearly an entire week. If you were not aware, this site is hosted for free by our parent site, MyAdopts. The downtime was due to a complete server swap out on their end. They swapped servers due to the old server not being capable of handling the strain of all the MyAdopts individual sites.
Once the server swap was completed, the new server immediately came under strain. With the new and supposedly more powerful server, it was able to identify the site. The site was the very site which I hoped would be replaced by this site, DigimonNext. The site used over 60% of MyAdopt's resources and caused all the other sites to barely operate.
The reason for this is because of an "event" they had which would force its users to obtain a large number of clicks on a certain adoptable before the end of the month, or they would not be allowed to keep the adoptable. This caused many members of the site to panic and toss up the adoptable(s) on click exchange sites which would draw in massive clicks. Thousands per hour, in fact. This is what caused the strain on the MyAdopts server and caused all the downtime.
I would like to go ahead and make everyone here a promise. I, as the owner of this site, will never place a time limit on any of your adoptables. While I may give away special Digitama on Holidays via promo codes, these codes will always be valid year-round once you have the code. You may certainly adopt a hundred more, even months after the holiday.
Please, please do not use click exchange sites for your adoptables here or ever put it on a site somewhere where over a hundred people will click your adoptable a day. If you do, you risk causing this site to be deleted like its predecessor.
So please. Take your time raising your adoptables. Remember, there is no, and never will be, a time limit on any adoptable on this site. In fact, my hatred on time limits was one the driving factors of creating this site.
Again, I'm Noble, founder of Another Digimon Adoptables. And I appreciate you taking time out of your life to read my notice. If you have any questions, please, please feel free to message me. Again, thank you for your understanding.
And of course... I personally wish DigimonNext and their staff the best of luck with whatever they may choose to do with their site.
