So how sad is it to go out riding my bike on a Saturday afternoon in July and have to wear long legged cycling tights and STILL nearly freeze to death and come home with my ears aching from the cold afterwards. I mean seriously... it's JULY... it's almost AUGUST... I shouldn't have to remember my earwarmers to ride my bike a mere 5 miles in July. This is ridiculous. >_< It's now barely 60° and I'll have to put on long sleeves. I should not have to close my windows in July.
NOTE: That ranting was from yesterday and I forgot to post it because I was so cold. So this is what I have to say today:
So anyway, I got really tired for moderators on Dragon Spam and Dragon ER making rules to suit their opinions. For example, Dragon ER decided that instead of sticking with the one day rule that any dragon with three days was an emergency. Sorry, but 3 days is not an emergency. A dragon can't even HATCH until it's down to three days. So that bugged me when instead of enforcing the rules on people who decided to just post anything, they just changed them to not emergencies. Dragon Spam I wasn't getting much in the way of views either, and didn't feel I was doing my part because I don't have all day to sit and click and view and click and view. The other thing that irked me was that on one or both of them someone got VERY BENT OUT OF SHAPE because someone posted an emergency dragon (and it was) and then as soon as it had wings they froze it. I personally have never frozen a hatchling, but I may start doing that too. I don't know. Some people like to freeze a hatchling because they like how it looks and that's the only way you can keep it from changing into an adult so you can continue to enjoy it as a hatchling. I don't see a problem with this. It's like giving a dragon eternal childhood. Anyway, some moderator decided this was an horrific sin and said that if anyone was ever caught doing it they would be banned and so on and so on. I just didn't like that. People should be able to do what they want as long as it's within the rules of the game. (and it is.
So eventually, I found
DC Fansite, which is usually great. It has the way to post your eggs and hatchlings (though you have to do it separately which is kind of a pain) and then you can open up a little window that rotates all the eggs through to get views which is what they really need. Unfortunately, I've had
DC Fansite go down on me hardcore enough times and had enough dragons killed by that that I started searching for other sites. It's down and has been down for days again. I don't like forum sites, I want sites that I can post my dragons, turn on the autoviewer to do my part in giving views and then wander off and not have to constantly monitor.
So I recently found another site I like even better. It's called
Eggs Will be Dragons. One plus over the other one is that when I post my scroll it shows all eggs and hatchlings and I can either check or uncheck them as desired. I can have the rotator show up to 200 scrolls of eggs and hatchlings every 15 seconds if my connection is fast enough. So I currently am rotating on 100 scrolls of eggs, 100 scrolls of hatchlings and all the er dragons. So every minute, as many as 500 eggs, 700 hatchlings and however many ER dragons are there. I posted my dragons before bed and by the time I got up I had over 300 views.
I also found
Jade Destiny to be easy to use and meets my general requirements. The main thing is self service, being able to just register my scroll and have the rest of it work without too much trouble, and being able to give views on a timer.
The forums recommend
Soti-Dragon's Nest it's okay, but instead of just adding the scroll, it scans it and shows you what the number codes are for your dragons, and you have to manually add each dragon to a box. The viewer only shows seven scrolls at a time.
Note, I don't particularly like to have to register for these sites either. I don't want to have to provide my email address and login just to post my dragons. It's annoying. Neither of these two sites require that. I don't remember if I had to register for
DC Fansite and since it's down hard, I can't go see. Anyway, there's three more places for you to post your eggs. If you like
DC Fansite you should also like these.
Oh yah, and while I'm at it, here are my dragons:
