The first forum I was on was some forum related to the Hampster Dance website. I never posted on it, I only lurked, I don't even know what the point of it was. At least on here I can get items and what not. Then I got into Eden Enchanted (a pixel art forum). After that shut down, I went around looking for other avatar sites (Gaia, here, Zantarni, some other ones) and I liked the avatar style here the best. I've been here ever since.
Wow, it does look like a serious RPing site. I don't really understand how forums like that work (having different settings to base your RP around? Seems like your RP could only last a little while if it just takes place in one region... Unless that's the whole point, to break up RPs so people don't get bored?) At least, that's the idea I got from just looking over Valucre.com. Then again, I've never really had an RP last too long anyway xD
It's from Legend of Mana (PS1). It had a race of people called the Jumi, and their queen/healer was called their Clarius. Florina was the current Clarius in the game.
I know I didn't get into Menewsha for a couple years. You might have noticed on my profile I joined in 2009, but I've only been increasingly active in the last 2 years. That has stemmed from collecting items, making art, RPing, stuff like that. I used to only lurk, but the more I post the more friends I make. The best places to make friends I've found are the Menewsha Nation (hangout threads) or in the RP forum. I see you've already made some posts in the later, so now you just have to find some cool places to chat in!
Nice! My old username (clarius florina) was one that I've been using for stuff ever since my childhood. Though, I just plucked it from a game, I was never creative enough to make up names myself.
