Well most of the ernya peeps headed over to cae, it's a lor more active than it was!
And as for gaia well thats cause of the MAJOR inflation!! But the others are getting there. Plus there are SO MANY avie sites that people are all over the plaace.

[Monorea]

I just don't like Caedon i feel uncomfortable with the site. Both the community there and how most conversations feels so closed off.
And there isn't that many is there? Less than 20 or something?

[ShadowGrimReaper87]

Oh it's gotten better, and there are over 1,000 users now. It's almost at the 2k mark, I'd say that about 20 users are no longer on the site( well one I know for sure got asked to leave).
Like I said a lot of ernya peeps went there.

[Monorea]

I meant less than 20 avatar sites and users doesnt indicate activity.
And i was there after christmas, didnt like it there as i said.

[ShadowGrimReaper87]

Ok, sorry about that, the damn dog next door is being a pain in the ass and well yeah.
Hmm I know of about 10 but I had once saw a list of 30 or more once. But now there are quite a few that shut down.
What's your name on cae? Or is it the same as here?

[Monorea]

Same but don't bother it is just inactive and probably will stay so because for Caedon to become attractive to me they would have to revamp almost everything.

Mystmist, your bg item . . . I was sitting here staring at it and I think it's my favorite item on Trisphee. So beautiful.

I think 2011-2012 was a big year for avi sites, they were everywhereeeee. It was like new ones popping up all the time! But because of that there were so many that opened for nefarious reasons and stole money from people. Lunaesaga for instance. Start up just long enough to get lots of people excited and donating money and then just shut down for no real reason with no explanations given -- it happened a lot. So I think a lot of people kind of got sick of that happening and drifted out of the avatar site loop. I know when Elidiun went down I was heartbroken and I think that was about when I quit coming onto any place like this. Then I tried to get back into Gaia for a bit last year but it's so completely different from how it used to be that it was a short lived endeavor. Then one day I was sitting there and I remembered Trisphee and I wondered how it was doing and so I came to peak and been here every day since! I think more people will come back in a similar fashion. Just have to get the word out!

[Monorea]

OooooOOOoo i feel so dizzy, i hate having the flu.
And i do know that a couple of people may be responsible or at least are being blamed for the sites that shut down for dubious reasons.
And yeah i wish gaia never changed management/CEO

[littl3chocobo]

woah, it got a lot deeper in here since i was last in XD maybe i should get sick more often?

it's also a sign of the way online social sites are going. there are a lot more people using their phones and tablets which requires an overhaul of how sites are set up(utilizing space is super crucial as well as making sure non-mouse movement is accounted for) and animated sites are gaining footholds and leaving still-image sites feeling old and outdated

[Monorea]

Can you give examples Cho?

[ShadowGrimReaper87]

I'm back from cooking and eating dinner. It takes quite a bit when you have to make(ish) 3 diff meals. One for me and the hubby, one for our 3 year old who won't eat what I made then one for our 1 year old but he didn't like it so he got something else.

[Monorea]

Well if you are already making food for 2 kids can't your hubby make food for himself and you to lighten your burden? or does that just get messy.

[littl3chocobo]

-shrugs- not names, that penguin one, the one with the super skinny big-headed avatars people like to make ocs out of and all the ones on iphones XD i am a loser and only recognize the art

[Potironette]

The penguin one...? Club penguin. There's no way you're talking about that right?

Care to post some of the art?

[littl3chocobo]

i could be wrong, there was one with brightly colored animated bird chibis that got reeeaaally big the year before last. people kept talking about it and i am sure it was a kid-friendly one XD

[Potironette]

Here, is it this? (it's Club Penguin, very kid friendly yup, meant for kids actually):
