I had an avi that I didn't get to save and I did have active rps. I followed one of my partners to Caedon because she refused to follow me to any other site. Mostly I'm sad I can no longer look at or refer back to old material because I'm the kind of person that likes to keep all of my rps and such in a folder.

I'm mostly active on mene currently. I haven't been very active on Roll much lately, the few people I talked to there mostly moved to other sites when the whole site went bork. Roll just hasn't been quite as active since. I still haven't redone my quest thread there yet. Lost that and a good chunk of items when they had to go to the last site backup.
|
You lost items? O.o I think I would likely leave too if that was the case and I wasn't already very entangled in the community there.
I think something like that happened with Unifaction. I spent a long time questing something and once I had it, they updated their forum and all your items were supposed to move to the new system, but mine didn't. I wasn't that comfortable chatting there, so I just left. Now that forum is dead anyway. |
Yeah, rolis got a test version of the site for when they're testing new features, updates, etc. And they went to try to test a new feature but they had the wrong roli pulled up and kinda accidentally majorly borked the site. And the last site backup had unfortunately been a good few months back. They've had to redo parts from scratch. A good amount of users lost items unfortunately. They were nice enough to give everyone a chunk of plats for the trouble though, which was nice, but still.
|
yeeeah. That's a major mistake. I feel sorry for them and yet.... *shakes head*
Omg, I just looked up to see if I could look at what Unifaction's avis were like since I don't remember. Now I'm so sad that the site is gone because I would totally try to play there again! link I kinda love them. |
I recently got the avi/pet site bug, so I'm on a lot of sites now.
As Chrysothemis I'm on... Zantarni, Kingdom of Knuffel, and Sapherna. And then I'm on Recolor.me and Solia, as Snipehunt; and on Gaia as JP-JZ, and... I think that's it for the most part? |
Ah, I figured that was you on recolor.me. I saw your request when I was looking for something else.
|
I can't figure out recolor.me...
I keep popping in there and playing a few games, but I don't ever engage with the community there... I dunno. |
I have an account on recolor that I only use for roleplaying haha. It's Xelyth. Also, I'm on gaiaonline with the same username (Xelyth). That's all.
|
That's cool, Mikio. :D
I am on Gaia, but I don't really use the account anymore... :/ Really, the only avatar site I use now is Mene.. I used to be kind of frequent on Solia, but then they recently changed the site and now I have no idea how to navigate anymore. D: |
I found a couple of interesting lists of tried & failed & current avatar sites.
It's crazy to me how many sites have tried and failed. |
It always makes me sad when an avatar forum doesn't make it.. :(
|
I like this idea. Sign me up!
Gaia: onsenmark(main), OnsenMarkX(mule) recolor.me: onsenmark Voltra(once they're back online): onsenmark |
Everyone is talking in here today!
A lot of those sites that died quickly get remade in some way though, like Chysandrea and Sapherna, then Terasus and Syndrone. We'll see if that one gets a third site. I'll kinda laugh. I thought I heard that Voltra was back online already. People like to talk about that site though I've never looked it up myself. |

What is Voltra like? I've asked people before, but I don't remember ever getting an answer.
You funny, Tom. XD |

Wow, finding this thread just led me down a rabbit hole memory lane for the past few hours, as I've tried to remember all my Gaia Online aliases. [rofl] I had sooo many accounts, and only remember a fraction. I believe my oldest account is Riek, followed by a few like ` Technologique, Inverted Watercolor and ElvenShard. 2005-2007 were definitely my peak Gaia years! Once I joined Mene in '07, I was a total convert, and so it has just been fun to try and remember my names/logins (especially cuz I used so many random emails over the years, so password recovery wasn't an option [lol]). Whew!
I joined Roli under the name Facade maybe shortly after joining Mene. I tried it out, wasn't ever a fan. I was founding moderator on Avaricia when that opened in 2008, but definitely fell to the wayside in 2009. So much of my adolescence is bound up in avatar sites! [shock] But yeah. [:P] Man, Gaia. Oy. |
[bunny] rabbit hole |
Onsenmark: Do you have a pic of your avi or anything? I couldn't tell what they were like when I tried to look up the site.
Why did Facade have so many accounts under such absurd and poetic sounding names!?? Lol. I don't know why I expected anything different. For me, Mene was definitely first, but I joined Zantarni not long after. I didn't know you were a mod on Avaricia though. |

Where you looking for Voltra avis??? Not mine but then Gizzie just used the aviless starter shadow https://s18.postimg.org/yffpbbkop/nm_Oun_Ld.png |
Those are super cute avatars. :o
I might jin Volta... Does it have a nice roleplaying community? :) |
Oh thanks. That does look pretty cute. I'll keep an eye on the site at least.
|
@Kat: Hey, I'm poetic and artsy-fartsy... emphasis on fartsy. [ninja] [drool]
[;)] But yeah, first and foremost I'm a writer, creative and otherwise, so especially in my teen years I was always making usernames like that! D: I never RP'ed here on Mene, but I did belong to a forum-based RP community for over 10 years actively, with less activity while I was in college. That site finally closed in October, permanently, which was bittersweet... [no] Gaia never had an account limit per person, so it was fairly easy to and almost encouraged to create new accounts. I don't think they unrolled username-change services until years and years after I was active on there, so that was an added reason to just up and make an entirely new account! [yes] I discovered most of my old usernames by remembering my middle school best friend's Gaia username and then stalking their comments wall until I found myself. [rofl] And then I found all of my main accounts, lo and behold! |
