I'm thinking of checking it out to see how the color system works.

Its really pretty cool!
Each item you buy can be recolored to suit ones taste...and you can change the colors repeatedly...
clothes, accessories, hair...its all changeable.

Ya'll talking about recolor me?

I think....tinierme had a similar color system where you could recolor it once you bought it. Minus the opacity part. Unless I'm thinking of a different site I didn't use much. Maybe Zwinky?

I remember Zwinky...
I used to dress my avi there in a baggy shirt and her bra would be exposed and everyone called me a slut...

Omg lol!! XDD They had a chibi avi and a big one right? I only used the chibi. But that was a community of children so I'm not surprised.

They were SO MEAN!!
I used the big one. :D The chibi was cute, but the big one looked the best to me.

I believe Zwinky isn't around anymore...

I figured it wasn't around anymore because I've never seen anyone talking about it. I kinda forgot it existed. I think it was my yahoo mail which advertised it for me a long time ago. I didn't play there because I only have my one avi saved.

I don't remember how I found out about Zwinky, I think I only used it a couple of times, though, because I got really bored of all those ten year olds calling me a slut.

I think I heard about it through Fanfiction.net? I think on the sidebar they used to have those little ads for it there. It was fun while it lasted, but it's so sad to see so many avatar chat sites going down...

It was a site that used a more virtual chatroom approach than a forum and I've never gotten used to that style. I think I did plan to make an avi of the big and chibi type though. Just never got around to it.

I think especially the sites made for children with shifting tastes, those are going to disappear quicker. It's surprising that Gaia is still as popular as it is.

Yeah... That makes sense. I actually used to be more used to the chatroom layout than I was a forum layout, so I liked Zwinky at first, but I never played for longer than ten minutes at a time an I got really bored of it really quickly.

I have no idea why Gaia is still popular! :O It's crazy! I actually joined Gaia to use the slots so I wasn't really used to the forums yet, but eventually I learned that you can make more gold by chatting in the forums than you can playing the slot machines, so I did that and I ended up liking forums a lot better than chats.

That isn't to say I don't like chatting now, I still do, but forums are so much more fun to post in. :D

I feel like the fast speed and smaller amounts of text in chats are hard for me. I spend a while typing my posts sometimes and like to think over my words. I also don't spend near as much time actually chatting on sites anymore. I mostly rp.

That makes sense. Some people don't like how fast chats go... Personally, I like it because I think pretty fast and I say the first thing that comes to my mind without much of a filter, so... I think chats are perfect for me.

Although, lately, I find that I have more to say in a forum setting than I do in a chat.

Omg, Ava, it somehow doesn't surprise me that you were the Zwinky slut. You're clearly the town bicycle of that tawdry little site of toddlers.

But seriously, that's a hilarious memory. And I've never heard of that site, so... I dodged that bullet!

The fact that Gaia is popular still is bizarre to me. I mean, I was super active on it for a good 2 years, but it really hasn't aged well.

Seriously, those kids were so cruel! ;_____;
I wasn't even doing anything "Slutty" I wasn't flirting with guys or trying to hook up...

It's strange, isn't it, Facade?
Gaia is still going strong today and I can't figure out why!!

Lanzer came back to Gaia about a year ago and did a lot of bug fixing and brought back Zomg. They have been doing a lot of modernization projects, too, like working on server code, Towns, and the header.

Hey guys! Reading through this thread had me thinking about all the times I spent going around tons of avatar sites. I can't remember all the names of them though -_-

I remember frequenting Gaia, Neopets, Habbo Hotel, and IMVU a lot. I remember having to be really sneaky about it because I was about 13 at the time and my parents didn't want me socializing with strangers, lol.

Totally relatable, Roka! I did the same thing underage, very, very often...

It's a wonder we lived to tell the tale! Hahaha.

Honestly, I can't imagine growing up today and NOT talking to strangers on the internet. I wonder if kids are as much in direct contact with strangers on the web as we were? Seeing my cousins who're 12 and 10, it seems like they mostly interact with their friends online, and any stranger interaction is really summed up as watching YouTube videos and maybe commenting, stuff like that... chatrooms and forums just aren't on their radar...

But -shrug- maybe they're still too young and will start the stranger danger in their teen years! Maybe there's hope yet!

One time when I was little, maybe 11, I was roleplaying online with my friends and my cousin was sleeping over and I told her about Gaia so I went on the computer really late at night to roleplay and she told my parents that I was "staying up late talking to strangers on the internet" and they got SO mad that they unplugged the modem at night and locked the door to the computer...*

D:

It was a really dark time in my life...
Then I started stealing wifi from my neighbors while using my laptop and I kept roleplaying anyway.



*Truthfully, I don't think that they did this because I was talking to strangers, I think they did it because I used to watch porn on that computer when I was 10. xD

Ava is such an interesting person. What stories you have to tell!

I never got into any social media, forums, or chats when I was young. I didn't actually start until the summer after I graduated from high school, I think. Yeah, since I joined here in August 09. I didn't even really use facebook or myspace before Mene. Graduation is usually in May right? So a couple months after graduating high school. I had just turned 18.

I lived a pretty boring life, but I have some random fun stuff in it too! XD

I have been using computers and chatting almost my whole life.
My dad bought me the Jumpstart K-12 learning games as a kid, so I used to play on the computer all the time. So naturally, when internet became a thing, I figured out how to use it and haven't stopped since. :)

Oh I'm with Ava here - I've been on the interwebs since I was 8 or 9, and never looked back! A lot of my dearest friends in middle school were made online; I had a close IRL group of 3 friends, and we all shared groups of friends-of-friends online essentially, whether on Neopets, Gaia, Myspace, or elsewhere in MMOs, etc.

One such online friend actually came with my IRL friend and me to see a play at our high school our freshman year. She was really cool, a leader of a roleplaying guild we were in on Neopets for years and years... so I made her sign my program for that play, and I still have it!

...I also was totally watching porn online by age 10, possibly a little younger even...

YAY!

jk. I just...vampire Ava....

I played games on the computer, but mostly did writing and I was playing with doll makers real early one. Lots of looking through pictures, saving pictures, doing photo manipulation with photos I had no rights to. That's how I spent my computer time back then. Ah...and fanfiction. I read that. Not so much hanging online though.
