    Hey there fellow virtual pet site players!
    My name is Michael & I co-own IcePets (With Joe Roethig / Claws).
    I felt that after the past two years of developing IcePets I went through lots of ups & downs & still am conquering them as we build up our community. I could give plenty of advice & I would love to answer any questions that anyone has regarding owning, running or participating in the virtual pet site industry.
    Thanks & feel free to ask me ANYTHING on this board.

    We started brainstorming in December of 07, Started the site in 08, launched open beta in march of 2009, and are two months away of our grand opening.
    For now we have around 200 users logging in daily and 20-40 online at all times.
    We've been getting 40-60 new users a day too.
    I hope to have around 80 at all times by June 15th

    We could make this into a chat interview or a forum interview where many questions are asked by GameOgre.com members in one forum thread.

    It seems like a fun game.

    Is the userbase growing?
