Me being me I have to disagree partially on some points X3
A lot of the MyAdopts websites are crap/unedited sites that are never shown. But a lot of the more active base has websites that are very well done and have a lot of effort put into. Now you may say, 'why not use Mysidia, etc?' Well it's for a couple reasons:
1-Not everyone is a coder. The MA base is more artists.
2-Not everyone can buy their own server and from reading around free servers are never good for adoptables sites when they get popular
3-

I've seen Rusnak (saying rusnak because that's the era I'm talking about, plus I haven't seen many Mys sites yet :3), V-Adopt, and MA sites that match. The difference is just the hosting. I was a complete n00b when I came to Rusnak about 1-2 years ago (forget the exact time). I did not know how to code nor did I learn it. It wasn't until I went to MA, made a site, put craploads of effort into it, got it really popular, then remembered Rusnak and felt more comfortable coding because I'd learned more coding languages from when I first came to Rusnak and when I was considering the site move. Also when I was first on Rusnak I had the 'big dream" opinion.
4-About the whim. My site is on a whim (or at least started that way). It went from Oh I should make an adoptables website, to POKEMONZ, to Mewtwo only, to Mewtwo and Mew, to Mewtwo, Mew and maybe a few others, to where it is now. And so much more work is going into this than my first Rusnak site *shudders at the horridness of it and it's bright purple theme*
5-And about effort, there is no way to measure effort. But truly a lot of the popular MA sites show great effort because people are going above and beyond what is expected of an MA site. Some people have added so much to the site the only way you can tell it is MA is the url and the footer text.
Free hosting gets down because, sadly, anyone can make a site and the majority of people see it as a way to make something without effort. But that is not true for all peeps :3
Sorry if that sounded offensive or ranty, it was not meant to be just making my point X3 Plus I have an essay to write (why I am writing so much here but barely anything on my essay D: )
