I joined another 'similar' website around the same time I joined Clraik. Since then I had only been there twice, but came on here daily. I can see that I made the right choice
That other website is shit! I got my posts up enough to see the 'trading' section and it blows! Against the rules to sell things for USD or real currency? No selling things from Unregs or you could be banned? I didn't know that there was a such thing as a self-righteous cheater, but you learn something new everyday xD
I mean, what's the fun in that? People are 'selling' ETS items for NP's. How is that even any different that playing Neo legit? I guess the only difference is that they run programs.
To keep it short, that place blows and Clraik rocks! It also helps that the people here are a shit ton cooler and funnier Anyway, I won't be going back there.

I like it best too. Another website like this is too hard to level up to get to the trading thing, and it's too busy. The one you're talking about sucks, I know which one it is.
I don't have any experience with the other one you mentioned, so I can't comment about that. But for the other one, I couldn't agree more.
I like clraik because it's:
1. The most active Neopets' cheating forum at present, even beat out those giants that have a lot more history (SLAMMED!).
2. It's not just a place for geeks to trade pixels or tell campfire stories of their game flames. It's got RL sections that get a lot of attention, with people that give real opinions.
3. The moderators are laid back people that you can hit up like buddies, not people with pipes up their holes that you have to watch your back before saying anything.
4. Despite that, it's very well maintained and staff are actively keeping the trash out.
5. It's got a simple Black layout option. The competing forums only have white layouts that strain my eyes, or some cosmic space shit that make me think I'm on a trip whenever I visit.
(yes, #5 was very important for me, I wouldn't be on here half as much as I do if it wasn't available).
clraik isn't a forum, it's a lifestyle.
(oh man I can't believe I just said that. I have to re-evaluate my priorities now.)
I know which site you mean! I have an account there too! the Trading section is REAAAAAAALLLLYYYYYYY slow. They don't sell illegit pets, and since like NO ONE sells legit UCs, there's like 1 for sale every few weeks lol ._.
And there's like 10 buying UC boards =(
You can sell stuff for USD there though, it's just known as 'other'
That being said, I much prefer this site, way easier to buy stuff. I can't even keep up with the trading boards =P
omg wat.
*just changed forum layout to pink*
I love CK so much more now. OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS OPTION, @(you need an account to see links)!

Definitely agree, especially with regards to the admin here. The people in charge on pretty much all the other sites I've been on act like glamorous little princes and princesses, but here we actually have mods who are intelligent, approachable and courteous even to new members. That's a rarity, and it's definitely something that makes clraik far more attractive than its competition. :o
Edit:
SCREAM???
Omg. My avatar actually somewhat matches the layout now. This is great adfsgdfga
