I recognize some of the ppl here from other places, and I've recognised people from other places in other places
Its like theres a certain kind of person who's into this stuff
I love the avatar aspect of the "avatar forum" concept
Hbu? What attracted you to this (or any other) avatar site?

@Kcalb: I really like character customization, and it kinda stuck with me?
So every time i find one with nice avi's (and affordable tbh) I can't resist sites like these :')
And the fact everyone has avatars tends to add this rp aspect to it and I love that??

I'm an avie site addict. I love all the different bases and items!
I also love trying to collect all the items and getting art of my avies. ^_^

@Siron: tbh thats also a good point, i love doing lil bits of acting "in character". Its different from regular forums, where you dont create a separate, visual dimension of your character and its a lot more accepted

@SirLionelNigelConrad: Estonians?


@dragoness129: honestly? Same. Im a bit of a hoarder myself, but i hate it when things are gated by one or more paywalls
I dont have much money to spare on exclusive items and im glad everything looks still affordable on here
The avatars take a little to get used to and for outfits i really like the idea of a "dream avatar" system where you can load every item available on site and create avatars like that

@Q t e a p o n: oh gosh it sounds like making items is a lot of work
I find the community here is nice and positive, really makes newcomers feel welcome
I think i have accounts on a lot of avatar sites but none made me wanna stick around as much
(I wanted to post everything in one go but misclicked, sorry ;n;' )

Yeah, joining sites really early on is a great way to get all of the great items on the site! ^_^
If not by donating, there's always the marketplace to purchase the items on. The people here are wonderful about prices!
Yeah, the dream avatar systems are very nice for just making avies. If it's a siite that has been open for years and I am just starting on it, or don't really put a lot of activity there, I will use it. If it's a site I am really active on, it feels like too much of a cheat for me to use.

@dragoness129: oh what do you mean a cheat? I use it all the time to make avis and tuen buy the items
This other site i came from has this directly in your inventory and you can click a button and buy the items you don't already have
Its really hard for me to visualise an avatar without actually using the items (and seeing them, cause otherwise idk what can even be done yknow)

@SirLionelNigelConrad: that makes sense
Was that other site also an avatar forum?

@SirLionelNigelConrad: oh, I see
Why did it close tho? There are a number of avatar sites who use similarly designed avatars but that doesnt rlly bother me tbh
I have my beef with counterintuitive layouts lmao

@Kcalb: Exactly! 'Normal' community sites usually tend to feel way more personal where avatar sites tend to be a little bit more easy going and fun loving imo.
i mean, exceptions may exist, but that's my overall experience tbh
Bless avatar communities
