Default Seems like a lot of avatar websites....   #1  
are shutting down. (And I know there has been more in the past year, these two are just this summer's casualties so far) Like Crysandrea...and Elidiun will be at the end of the month after relaunching not too long ago.

Who do you think will be next?
Why do you think these places are shutting down?
-insert other things to discuss here-

The owner of elidiun is apparently know for giving up on his projects. I don't really know all the specifics but if you see him opening a new site be prepared for it to shut down quickly.

Most of the time it is because the owners are lazy, were only half-hearted, panicked when the online season was slow (summer for example), or just because they have too many projects going and end up shutting it down. I was greatly saddened to learn Chrys shut down, and am hoping someone picks up the reigns because it was a good community, but I do not think Tris will be going anywhere anytime soon. Everyone loves this place way too deeply, including the entire staff. That and they have broken their backs pouring love and hardwork into this place just to let it go.

Rainbows and stuff
I think the age of avatar sites is coming to a close. The generation that it was a fan of is getting older and now have jobs or families to look after. So I think its just the slow death of all of them. Everyones on facebook or twitter...things die thats all.

I just realized that too, but they said they'd be reopening in maybe a month? I kind of doubt any website that goes down for any reason really. Look at Crys, it took them three months to gather up the courage to say that they were shutting down.

Elidiun shut down, came back, then shut down again like four months later (it goes down August 1st)

@Pink pantzer
Well, I still loved them, but now that I've had THREE shut down in one summer? I'm getting to where I don't care. They're not going to stay around for long, so why get interested? Except Gaia. That thing will never die pretty much-they keep getting new users though that's not necessarily a good or bad thing -shrugs-

Lunae isn't shutting down or so the owner says.
He said his laptop is broken and the site will be back up in a month or so.

From my experience, once a website shuts down for whatever reason, it doesn't come back, or at least not for awhile. I'd like to believe lunae will come back, but it's hard to believe that when it has problems of the host not being paid. That's why it shut down. That's not a problem that can easily be fixed even in a month really .-.

I'm running as far away as possible from Elidiun while hoping Lunae doesn't die. Not that I really care much about LS, but I know many of my friends would be disappointed.

EDIT: I am very worried that Syndrone will die, but it's going strong right now.

So, outside of Crysandrea, the sites I generally go to are still thriving. Ernya, here, Midorea. The other ones I keep hearing about that people say have died I was either a user then stopped or never joined.

:I I don't really wander anywhere, I stay on tris. Though I used to know the owners/creators of Midorea, Ernya, and Menewsha, I'm not sure if it's changed ownership since I knew them though.
