(work took over my life the last close to 2 years, and with Pantheon closing, I've fallen off the forum map near entirely, oof. Long story short, I miss being on forums intensily ; n; )
Forums General Chit-Chat I feel like..

Same here, I went to check out Gaia Online and couldn't bring myself to rejoin after seeing how much of a ghost town it's become. :[ First timer here and the forums look promising on Voltra so far!
its no longer the sameee
@Justice: same here, tbh
same here ; u;
i wish i had been more active with creating in the long run, but maaaaan, life kicked my ass something fierce.
now i have no idea where to go in the forum realm aaaaaaaa
@arcius:

I feel the same way! In general I think a lot of forum sites lately have just been on the slow end which has been kinda sad. Heck, even RP forums have been slow and those are usually the most popular spot.
@arcius:
I know! It's so disappointing. Lots of great memories made there and the way the community was back in the day was so vibrant.
Hopefully the art community sparks up my interest in drawing some avatar art again like the good old days!

@Spider:
Nooo! That's so sad to hear, I was literally just lurking the RP forums in hopes that was alive and well.

it was such a massive part of my childhood omg
on top of that, i miss having time to dedicate to making pixels and art ack
@niceknuckles: im admittedly hoping i can become maybe even somewhat active here regardless of aspect.
hoping really, that it kinda sparks my creativity again, yaknow? i feel dry in that aspect x.x

God, I hear you on feeling dry when it comes to creativity. I think subconsciously I gravitated towards finding another forum website in hopes that seeing a community would help fuel the spark a bit. Seeing some awesome artists from lurking profiles has led me to some really interesting websites though.
I literally just signed up for Wysp because it seems to be a site to help with creative block in mind so I think we might be the target audience.
@niceknuckles:
It used to be a lot more active but lately it's just been slow over all. I think also it was just people switching to other ways of RP like google docs vs public display.
@arcius:
I spent years on Gaia- and waaaay too much money as a teen. I used to save my lunch money to get a gaia cash card once a month. I remember the like big deal they had about having so many users online at the same time.
I do think the death of flash and flash games didn't help its fall (and money hungry execs)

There's a whole slew of art/artist based websites though, it honestly makes me so happy seeing that realm expand omggg
I always found though, that when i was active on forums, it definitely kept me a bit more inspired.
@Spider: I was more of a devious lil bean on gaia in my youth, admittedly xD
but i remember pulling all nighters to lurk the/chat on the forums, both on gaia and a handful of other places. nostalgia is strong, oof
i agree though, the death of flash definitely didn't help any at all, along with it becoming a money grab across the board x.x
❝ Same here honestly. Then I don't know how to start back in. Like do I make a post on general chit-chat or do I make a hangout? XD I haven't seen my friends on here recently, I don't know if they get on anymore. I miss forum sites but work has been my whole life these past couple of years. ❞
❝ @Totalanimefan: I know ;A; it's been a while since I was last on but I'm hoping to get back into it lol I might make a post xD ❞
but i feel it though
it's difficult to figure out where the heck to start when you''ve fallen out of the game orz
@Totalanimefan: thank you! it's been a bit since ive seen you around! I hope you've been doing okay!
just recently started a new job that has a lot less for hours across the board, it's nice having a break omg
it was absolutely gruesome truth be told. i think I'm down to about 25-35ish hours a week, which is a really nice change to working the 50ish hours a week i was working! i think for a good month or so, i was working about 70ish hours? it was painful, but it was between 3 jobs basically
i do wish avatar forums were more popular, absolutely ;u;
❝ @arcius: I totally agree. And may I look at your deviantart? Or would that be weird? XD I just saw it in your signature. ❞
absolutely wouldn't be weird at all to lurk! c:
im a space cadet who's lazy with typing 90% of the time
