I feel sad
 

I feel the same way.

I mostly just do shit posts on re.color these days. I don't feel close to anyone. RL is shitty and so is my online life right now.

At least I still have my art.

I wish avatar sites were as active as they once were. :( I'm thankful for those that are still around.

But I also miss the days of the past where I had good friends on avi sites ;w; who now I have no way of contacting them and it sucks

You're like the only person left that I knew from Kinsaki days back in like 2008 or so. T.T People used to be so mean to me because I was young, really bad at English and post a bunch of nonsense...but you were still kind to me.

I feel your pain on so many levels. </3

I have lost a bunch of online friends and RP partners when avatar sites shut in the past or their active userbase dwindled. It always breaks my heart. I don't like any social media as much as I like avatar sites; they are still my favourite way to be online.

Yes I remember. :( I think that was part of why I broke up with my rp Wife gigglypuff. That and my marriage to my husband went to shit. I still miss her though. I liked talking to you both, but I think she might have been one of the ones that were kinda mean to you. I can't really remember all the details. Sometimes its like it never even happened.

You're much better at English now btw. :)

It doesn't help that the avatar sites kept and keep splintering off into baby sites.

I still think it would be super cool if a bunch of them joined together and you could pick which avatar you wanted to use. However, I know that'll never happen. Still nice to think about though.

I don't necessarily feel the exact same as I wasn't ever really that close to anyone. I only have 1 friend that I miss. And I have an address for her, but it's probably been like...over 8 years since our last real contact and idk if she lives in the same place still so I'm not so sure about even sending a letter. So much has changed since then. Are we even still friends? But idk.

I do miss the higher activity levels of sites some. Though not when they were super busy as it was often hard for me to keep up with conversations.

I did have some artist friends on Gaia that I miss and a really cool rp group too. But I don't think any of them are around at all.

Making friends has always been tough for me so I don't think anyone from the past probably remembers me anyway. *shrug*

Sorry I'm just getting all rambly and depressed. XP

I agree, daiko, social media just isn't the same. :( At least not how it is today(I still miss Myspace....... ;w; )

I've always been partial to forum sites and avi sites. <3

Yes! On avatar sites I feel comfortable and safe. Not so on other social media. And I just really like the format of a forum. It's easy to follow a conversation and not lose your conversation history.

And the avatars are the cherry on top of the friendly community cake. :s-grin:

god, yes, i'd kill for a partially centralized avi site.

i'm kinda sad bc i never bothered to get to know glitch and i wish i could have done in the first place. i also tend to get kinda sad abt how the activity on this site dwindles at times. hopefully it improves with time.

Of course my OCD/high functioning butt would probably go and try to back pixel similar items to each other. So X avatar could have X item inspired by a different site. But SO many pixel artist have come and gone on all sites. It would be to big a task.

As for activity, I'm around now. I don't know how active I can be but I do try to read the new threads list.

I mostly come on when the crane game resets.

yeah.

ironically, despite working for pantheon online as well, i'm not very active on there. that site's also sorta dead atm.

i think the main hurdle w/ this site is getting items released.

additionally if i do get paid for making items from this site i'm gonna have to chuck that money at someone i'm friendly w/ bc of his, eh... current housing situation.

I think I have an old account there, I can't remember though.

If you have the tittle you should already know what your rate will be/if there is anything other than monthlies offered.

Why do you feel responsible for them?

it's not that i feel responsible for them. it's more towards that i want them to be in a better living situation. something more stable.

not sure of the rate for either site, mostly bc i don't really ask abt that sort of thing.

Yeah, avatar sites have better communities. :C Social media communities are all over the place.
