monstahh` - I wish I could find some of the older users I used to talk to. They seemed to have disappeared too. =O I don't have any friends in real life that would go on avatar sites. I mostly have males friends. xD Not that I have many of those either but the few girls aren't really computer minded. =P I know what you mean though, I get really lonely at work since I am the youngest one (by like a 40 year gap ) so I don't really have anything in common with anyone else and the manager is a totally jerk so I usually gravitate here when I am not busy. People are nicer here then in person and I feel like we are all in the same boat. Looking for people to talk to.
You said about friends not interested because of mene's image, what do you mean? Avatar sites in general or just mene. I know my friends would just look at it as dress up but that's really not what this site is all about. =P
