I've gotten Odin three days ago and he's the absolute sweetest, he's so incredibly well behaved and calm especially with what he's currently going through. But I want to warn everyone who buys dogs off Facebook and other platforms that people don't have a breeding license for.

A bit of context from my end: We've been interested in getting a dog for a while, and came to the conclusion that a golden retriever would be the safest for our elder female cat who keeps to herself quite a lot. We've reached out to the supposed breeder through "Pets4homes" I think? I'm not entirely sure, one thing that put me off on the photos section, is that there was only one, and it was of the puppies when they were just born, strangely enough I chose to ignore this and reached out to the breeder.

We asked if they had a girl, they said yes. And like many other people who have some sort of experience with animals, we wanted to see the mum and the dog (particularly also in what conditions they live in) before we bought. When we finally met up, the guy walked out with the puppy outside for some reason which was already beginning to set of alarm bells for me, but I just assumed maybe the mother was still skittish after giving birth.

Also bare in mind, it said the puppy was vaccinated on the site. When he hands us the puppy, he suddenly confirms it's a boy? And said we asked for a boy, which I knew I didn't but whatever. Then he said oddy got his first vaccination but not his second, and then handed us the papers to give to his vet when we want to register him for his second vaccination. I don't want to say no to the dog because it wasn't the gender I'd prefer, so we took him anyways.

The odor coming off oddy really concerns me, normal dogs smell like that 20 times less, not even talking about how his stool is 50% liquid half the time—including constant and intense scratching, he is eating and drinking which is a huge relief but I can really feel his ribs through his fur which is another thing that is bothering me.

Now, back to how we started to actually put things together. My girlfriend went to the vet yesterday to get him registered for his second vaccination so we can finally take him outside. Turns out, the papers were completely forged and he might have not even had his first vaccination. This definitely isn't that much of a big deal anyway, but I don't think he's a golden retriever. Not that I really care, I'm already far too attached to him to even care what breed is he.

But for those reading this, if you do choose to buy from sites like pets4homes, and you see these patterns as well, take the dog immediately to the vet. I'm currently taking screenshots of the chats and taking down details so I can report them to RSPCA.

So I'm planning to migrate here from a site that starts with j... Idk if I'm allowed to say the name here but that's not the point. I've had a couple questions though, since I have heard really good things including plenty of recommendations in general.

I am somewhat experienced with api keys if there are any to adjust them to fit my needs.

How well do the models perform in kind of slow burn angst's?

Something that made me want to move besides the moderation on a NSFW site was the absolute lack of emotion they decided to add, which is crucial for my rp's.

That's pretty much just my question, including any models or settings you recommend :)

People are getting so angry over crash it's actually a bit disappointing.

I'm not defending the Dev's, because let's face it they have horrible moderation and the way they handle it is really unprofessional. But I feel like people don't understand how difficult it is to keep up a chat bot site especially with more users coming in, which causes slower responses, crashes and so on.

Sites like these are painful to run, literally. I'm partially speaking from experience since I have made something similar in the past but not a chat bot website. Constant credit refills, which btw gets worse with more users on the platform.

And the messages that have been 'slower' is most likely due to the fact there has been an increase in users on the platform or people just using it more in general.

But it's fair I guess, a lot of people aren't familiar with these types of things and assume it's easy to run so I don't blame you.

The search has been crashing lately, I remember previously a couple days ago the search was refusing to search for characters and they had to do a mini maintenance. For those who don't know, these are temporary fixes—I'm guessing they just left it like that not assuming this was because of the amount of people were using the search at the time.

Now it has fully crashed.

What does this mean?

Well, this actually a global server thing. I thought maybe it was my ad blocker this morning tweaking out but usually it just doesn't allow me to go the home page which to be honest isn't a massive deal. But my search bar was gone.

Then they've completely kicked everyone off the site to fix it since it's literally a database issue, which could've actually been connected to the recent downgrade of generation speed since it was heavily overloaded.

It will likely be back up soon, and by soon I mean maybe tomorrow or the next day depending on your time zone.

It's not the end of the world, things like this happen especially with big sites. Just take a break for a little bit.

Again, I'm not defending any of the Dev's actions I'm just trying to clear the situation for some people who are confused with what's happening.

Take care :)

I'm a year late, I know, but hear me out for a second.

I obviously don't want to be *that guy*, and if something isn't possible, then it isn't possible — that's completely fair. I'm not trying to pressure anyone or demand anything.

I mainly just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the anime.gf devs for what they've built. The site is genuinely impressive, and the quality of the roleplays/bots I've come across is honestly hard to compare with elsewhere.

I've tried quite a few alternatives, and so many of them end up feeling like I'm swiping seven times just to get the same recycled response with slightly different wording. There's usually no real progression, personality, or depth behind it.

Here, though? You can actually get that proper novel-like feeling sometimes — the angst, the character development, the little details, the unexpected turns in a conversation. It actually feels like you're *in* the story rather than just prompting a bot over and over unlike the few others I've tried.

Overall, it's just... *mwah*. Chef's kiss.

Anyway, the reason I'm making this post is that I was abroad recently for some development/work stuff. The company me and my partner submitted our project for needed me there for five days, but we decided to stay a little longer and explore the country while we were there because I hardly spend on holidays nowadays.

I wasn't back in the UK, I was able to use the site normally for a while, and honestly, it made me realise how much I'd missed it. Even the bots I'd used previously were still surprisingly high quality, and I found myself wishing I could properly use the site again when I got home.

And again, I'm **not** making this post to beg for access or anything like that. If the answer is simply "not currently possible", that's completely understandable.

What I was really hoping to find out is whether there have been any plans, discussions, or development work around implementing the ID/age verification checks, or just a "yeah we're working on it," I'm not asking for a deadline or trying to rush the devs — I'm genuinely just curious about where things currently stand. If it's something that's being worked on, even if it's still a long way off, that's useful to know. Likewise, if there aren't currently any plans for it, I'd rather know that too so I can stop wondering and continue looking around for something else with a similar level of interactivity.

As for why I'm posting this here rather than making this post directly on their Reddit: my phone camera is currently broken after it was constantly overheating. I'm still waiting for the replacement, so I'm a little limited on that front. Bit of an annoying situation, but that's besides the point.

So if anyone happens to have some actual intel on this — whether that's a dev, someone who's spoken to the devs, or just someone who knows what's currently happening — I'd really appreciate hearing it.

Again, no pressure and no expectations. I just genuinely love what the site offers and would be very happy to know whether there's still a possibility of properly coming back to it at some point.

Thanks either way. ❤️
