Your thought????
I've noticed a growing trend with avatar social networking sites.
Their becoming more and more popular, which is a good thing. But it's hard to find good ones. This one seems ok so far for me. I originally got into avatar sites with the now shut down site MobaMingle, then moved on to Gaiaonline (who's rules are beyond strict) So my question to you is: What got you into using avatar sites?. What ones are your favorite?. And how do you feel about this one??. |
I have a web site and I use my avys there as a wink and a nod to things I write about.
I have to say Meez is my favorite because it is animated and it really looks like me in cartoon form. Stardoll is my second favorite because it looks so much like me it's scary -- plus it looks like a comic book. Gaia I like because it reminds me of a fairy tale. Mene is not bad, but honestly, I don't look at all like my avy. Gaia reminds me of how I looked like as a kid. I also use WeeMee, but that looks like me the least. Mene is a pretty good site -- I can't say anything against it. It has a certain charm to it... |
Thanks for your input.
I like your avi btw. And I agree about gaia, it reminds me of a fairy tale too. (P.s.: I am also Canadian) |

And a fellow Canadian -- woo hoo! :vicky: |

Yeah, I'm guessing it will take me awhile to get my avi where I want it to be too. But at least on this site it's not too difficult to gain gold, another plus to this site. On Gaia it takes forever unless you're good at art, or pay the site to get the special items. |
I got into avatar sites from Gaiaonline so I searched for more of them.
Faves: Subeta, Menewsha, Roliana I found this one and I like it the best so far lol |
I only post on Mene any more. I used to belong to Gaia and Roliana but have stopped posting or signing in on both of those. Mene has a pretty nice community so that's why I stick around.
|
I'm on Ernya (and more active there as well) mainly, but I've come back to Mene recently because I'm so damned bored all the time. I made a Stardolls account, but for some reason it won't acknowledge that I verified my email. D:
|
I think the first one I used would have been stardolls, a friend from school got me into it and I loved being able to dress up. Then I somehow found gaiaonline and while I kinda liked it, it seemed way too ad-central. Then facebook advertising told me that menewsha was "better than Gaiaonline" and I haven't looked back. I did use Solia for its Roleplaying forum last year, but I didn't like its community as much as Mene's.
|
Gaiaonline is strict? D ': Really? If they are, they must be too big to enforce all the strictness. I've seen users get away with all kinds of things. Including but not limited to posting pornography. So, strict as far as what? |
I was wondering about the Gaia strictness comment too! As our rules are one hell of a lot stricter than Gaia's, and we enforce ours, which they don't through having too many users and not enough staff.
|
The "strictness" or lack thereof, are what keeps me off of the forums. I have 8 year old reading boys looking over my shoulder, so I'm not quite ready to explain the language used on the site. I stick with the games and events.
|
I don't think Gaia is strict at all, and given they have such a large userbase they aren't always able to enforce their rules.
I think Menewsha is much more strict than Gaia, but that's good, because it keeps things in order. And Majority of the users here are sensible anyway. |
Lol, I think I got started using avatar sites in sixth grade when my friend brought in prints of his dream avatar from gaia. I had no idea what it was, nor a forum. I think through years of trial and error, as I got older I finally joined Gaia, loved it. Then decided it was changing and a lot of trolls were like...everywhere. When I noticed a few people leaving, and going to other places like solia, ernya, etc, I decided to join a smaller site and havent looked back since.
My absolute favorite is Trisphee though. :3 Mene is alright. Got really addicted but then sorta stopped. Everything seemed expensive. |
I originally got into avatar sites because I was bored and had nothing to do. I'd just make little avatars andplay simple games and that was about it. I've always been a writer/thinker and was intrigued when I found Meez. I love the avatars, more so than the ones on here, because it's more realistic and they have a lot more options as far as dressing/making your avatar. I left Meez because my computer had an error and wouldn't load the avy. I have a new computer and it would work but now that I'm on Mene I don't really use it. I can't say anything bad about Mene, and as an above user said it does have a certain charm.
|
Boredom and need of conversation and creativity got me into avatar sites.
At the moment, though, I really only use Menewsha and Furcadia, and I prefer Furcadia over Menewsha just because Menewsha is pretty dead, and without a lot of people, it doesn't have a lot to keep my interest for too very long. I love the site, and I muchly prefer it over other websites like Gaia, but I do wish there were more people. We need more adverts or something. |
