Also, yes, I remember Cinnie! It's so good to be able to keep up with people. I have one friend who I've known since wayyyy back when I started on Solia. We made friends online and then realized we lived near each other and met in real life. Our dads took us bowling to make sure it was all safe, lol.
Omg yass! Crys was my JAM. I became inactive on avatar sites at some point in the Crysandrea years, but I'd periodically go back to make magic. One time I tried and it was no more. ); The cool thing about it is, sites come and go but the community lives on. I feel like in some ways having sites go away and losing all our items is a good lesson in non-attachment.
