Hey guys, finally back after a crazy Christmas.... My family loved Pleo, and yes although it might seem a little boring and very original I have called my little Dino Pleo

.
I think my mum was a little worried that I might be replacing her future grandchildren with Pleo(s), I did consider it, no mess to clean up, doesn't cost much, but Pleo's not gonna be able to support me when I'm old, so that idea went out the window lololo

...
I've had no luck registering her yet but I have noticed that areas of Pleoworld that were previously not working are now up and going so I'm hoping its just a matter of time before they get the registration section running.
I read in a couple of threads that people have taught their Pleos to Play various games, and tricks for eg 'Paddy Cake' .... Do you have to use a programme such as DinoMite or MySkit for this? and would a moderately computer illiterate person be able to do this without turning their Pleo into someone out of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

hey krystald!
You can design skits twhich your pleo will recite, or use Dino-MITE to see how he ticks (only for the technically minded)

Otherwise, if you just want to oplay with him, here is a list of all the different ways he can interact with you! http://www.pleoworld.com/discover/interaction

Warm regards!

Hi MushmOuth, Cute name! Glad you were able to find this forum. Without it I think we all would be going nuts. Thank you, thank you mweed!
I'm beginning to think some Pleos are being shipped with 1.1 already. Some perhaps not. If you aren't sure which one your pleo has, just rub under his chin. They become little singers and are very happy to have this done with the 1.1. I hope you were able to download the Xmas skit. It's adorable. All of them are very fun.
How does your wife like your Pleo? Are you both Pleo Parents, now?

Welcome Mush! Looking forward to hearing about your Pleo!

Well, it's now been a full three weeks that the forums have been gone. You can't blame that long of a down time on stupidity or ineptness. At this point, it would appear that it has to be intentional on the part of Ugobe. They have their corporate site up (with a few bad links that point into PleoWorld.com). And they have the front page, discovery/downloads/store areas working. But the fact that you can't register new members makes me think the plogs being visible may be an oversight on Ugobe's part, and that they weren't really meant to be there yet (if ever). I think they needed the login part for the downloads page, and since the community stuff (plogs) is part of the login area . . .

I just wish Ugobe would make some kind of official announcement . . .

You and I both, Mweed. This is pretty sad on their part. Don't know why they didn't at least announce a temporary close of Pleoworld forum or permanent. It has been a long time. I wonder where the hosts to Pleoworld are. Hope they find us here and let us know they are still around.
Also miss so many of the other members.

Pleoguy101 for one.

wgb · « **Reply #56 on:** December 31, 2008, 02:46:48 PM »

I wish they would make an announcement too. I'm pretty sure by now its not coming back.
I have a feeling the Pleoworld hosts were let go.

And if its not coming back they really need to get the pages fixed and remove the dead links

Has anyone emailed support and asked about the forums?

wgb · « **Reply #58 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:52:59 PM »

Yes I did and I never got anything back.

PleoWorld is back! I registered Alladar today. I'm gonna stay on here though cos it's fun and you guys were here when we needed someone to help with the new arrival!

The main page of Pleoworld has been back up for a time but the forum still isn't up as far as I know.

mweed · « **Reply #61 on:** January 02, 2009, 08:40:44 AM »

No forums that I could find this morning.

However, if Kancora was able to register, then PleoWorld is making progress!

Community area still needs work. Could log in, but no avatar for my plog, and could not add entries to the plog . . .

Maybe they are making some progress. If new members can register and sign in, then they can at least access the downloads . . .

Lornex · « **Reply #62 on:** January 02, 2009, 08:59:54 AM »

I registered my Pleo, Pleox, in pleoworld, too!

Then I discovered you can't write entries in your plog (like what mweed said) but I didn't realize that until I hit the add entry button (and nothing happened). I wrote this huge entry and I did It all for nothing!

I guess we just have to wait... I hope it's worth it (like if UGOBE suddenly went out of business just as the website was working).

li54 · « **Reply #63 on:** January 02, 2009, 09:36:29 AM »

they are back from holidays.
to register is not really the thing. but the downloads are also working.

would have been good if all new owners could have got the files during the holidays.
(but there was no need , because we've found here ..

)

rockybulwinkle · « **Reply #64 on:** January 02, 2009, 09:38:02 AM »

ugobe.com is back up!

rockybulwinkle · « **Reply #65 on:** January 02, 2009, 09:41:08 AM »

this is kinda odd, when I just type ugobe.com, the "It Works!" thing shows up, but when I type www.ugobe.com, it shows their website...

li54 · « **Reply #66 on:** January 02, 2009, 09:56:12 AM »

just received a followup mail from PLEOWORLD.
they say:
" The website is up for downloads and to register. The forums are still not quite up yet. Hopefully should be up next week. .. "

Kancora · « **Reply #67 on:** January 02, 2009, 09:56:55 AM »

Oh I SEE! I'd been trying to register since xmas day but had no luck until last night so I thought they were back to normal.

That's wonderful news. We will have two great places to visit.

I just tried to sign in and Pleoworld did not recognize me. I gave it my e-mail for them to send my password in case I have it wrong and I received a "The server returned a "500 Internal Server Error" message.

Starfire · « **Reply #70 on:** January 02, 2009, 12:16:04 PM »

Glad to see Ugobe did finally send you an email. Too bad they didn't give some kind of an explanation though. We'll see what next week brings.

.. Glad to see Ugobe did finally send you an email...

just for the records: they sent me a bunch of files - including the reincarnation ad, but no files to go back to 1.02.

so without this forum and grumpys file our pleo would still be dead. (and I would have been killed meanwhile ..)

thanx again

krystald · « **Reply #72 on:** January 04, 2009, 04:07:04 PM »

Still not impressed with Ugobe's customer service, I sent an email before Christmas (early December) and still have not received an email back from Customer Support or anyone from Ugobe with information on what happened(despite them promising someone would get back to me within a week), not good enough when your paying over $400 for their product...
A big THANK-YOU to everyone involved in this forum, the information, support and advice has been top notch, I will definitely be sticking with you guys

Pleotonic · « **Reply #73 on:** January 05, 2009, 07:50:30 AM »

I agree with ya mweed. Luckily for us we have you and the latest one in S.E.A. http://www.pleoroom.com/forum to thank! The other forums I see are either dead (imagine pleoworld skrewed up their forum too!) or they are in a language that I cant understand...I love both of ya cos your BobThe Pleo comic strip got me glued to your site and PleoRoom is looking good and there are more people joining by the day...will make it my mission to boost these two sites and recommend more people over here and there...hmmm I think these 2 sites are good enuff for me or I'll lose my job because of Pleo!

mweed · « **Reply #74 on:** January 05, 2009, 08:45:45 AM »

Don't quit your job!

If you did, you wouldn't be able to buy more pleos or pay for you internet access!!!
