@megaame: Yeah, it's how it goes sometimes...Avatar sites are more of a niche thing nowadays.

@elirona: ahh it's too bad to hear about mene T_T<3
i had such a lovely time on there when i was growing up! i made some very good friends who i got super close to, like we sent each other packages/gifts, stayed up chatting so many nights, i even met one of them irl! i see them around on social media every now and then still :0
i was there pretty early on i think, i remember having a kings/queen crown at one point and i think i donated them right before i left?

even tho avi sites are niche i'm glad that they are still A Thing, like surviving social media and everything :-)
like even if it s a more niche corner of the internet, i think the fact that they've been around for so long means they'd probably be sticking around (as a general concept) for a while? at least i would like to think so ^^

@megaame: Exactly, everyone wanted in on that sweet avatar money that Gaia was making! It just made sense. with the rise of social media people didn't need an avatar to represent themselves anymore, if that makes sense.

@xvz: The crowns were some of the first contribution items!!! I'm super jealous. I never got one myself! I sure hope avi sites stick around, as I just keep finding myself coming back to em. :p

@totalanimefan: Of course, and I'm glad to see it! You guys even have multiple artists who contribute to the monthly items. It just makes the site better on the whole.

@anarchist beauty: Thank you so much for the warm welcome! Happy to be here!

@onsenmark: Wow, that's a name I haven't seen in FOREVER!!! hello!!!

Welcome!
I also came from Mene. I was more active in 08-09 but I checked back often to see how things were going and all. It was so sad to know that the main admin disappeared without a trace or no contact. They stopped releasing CI's because their artists and coders also left the site with no contact. All the mods and volunteers slowly disappeared as well. It's sad. One admin came back recently and posted back in August to pretty much say the site is doomed and to start packing up for when the site's payment of hosting is dried out. It's so sad. :(

I like Voltra so far. It's slow moving than what I like but that allows to get better convo's out of people and it's not so overwhelming either. I love the items here and cant wait to start hoarding items. I hope you enjoy it here!

@ouja akuma: Yeah, it's really upsetting...I couldn't tell you how many hours I spent on Mene. I'll miss it dearly.

I'm also really liking Voltra! Everyone's been very nice and helpful. The items are sincerely top quality.
