Uh... Hi... I guess? - Voltra Online

So... I haven't been on this website in about 3 years and it shocks me that this place is still up.

TBH, I kinda miss it, but after seeing a few other posts, the site seems to have gone dead? Like, the last announcement was 2 years ago? Just ouch... X_X;;

I remember when the site first launched, it was so lively. :) But I think after the first shut down (I will not be getting into this history cuz its a lot and my memories are hecka fuzzy), the site kinda... Died off? Like a lot of usual people who were active came back but didn't post as often, or just ended up not coming back at all. Its a shame since I really do like this site, still do, but never could afford to donate anything to the site.

Does anyone have any memories from the site they'd like to share? Feel free to post them here if you want. :)

I joined around the time the Vibrance Day 2021 event was going on, so off the top of my head, participating in the event was a fun memory for me. Also, I'd spend a lot of time playing Jigsaw and remember getting faster at doing some puzzles, even at difficult levels. The first time I attempted doing a puzzle on Impossible mode, it took me 3 days to finish it. @@; Other than that, I don't really have any share-worthy memories, tbh. ^^; Aside from complimenting people's avatars and posting here and there, I mostly kept to myself over the years.

Yeah, this site hasn't been that active in some time, unfortunately. It used to be a buzzing beehive, I remember that. The blackout and then seemed to be doing okay and then slowly went back down. I think the hardest thing is that most of the community who were invested in avatar sites have grown up, had families, adult jobs and very little time for the things we used to enjoy like this site.. makes me so sad. Now I come on and lurk every now and then to see if anyone is here lol

I've been on and off this site but mostly just lurking... I feel like with how manipulative and scary social medias are becoming maybe sites like this one that is just simple forum with cute graphics may have a comeback. Or I hope so.

I'm really going to miss Voltra if it does shut down. I really love the clothes, accessories, the dress up feature, as well as the NPCs here too! I hope someone from the staff would at least update us someday.

I find myself visiting one in a month or week, just to see how things are going and to make a post on my Undercurrent thread about how things are going on my end.

Thank you all for your responses! :D I'm gonna reply to yall individually, so sorry for the pings. Its easier for me to respond that way. I'll put each response under a spoiler to make things easier. :)

@Ark:

I wasn't here for that event, but most of the events on the site was pretty fun. :)
I also know how that is. Most of the time, I kept to myself as well. I know I mostly hung out in a few of the forms. I hung out in an Alien themed one all the time, it was one of my favorite spots to chat on.

@Mandy Amour:

I know most of the people I talked to were either my age or a tad bit older than me. I was 23 when I made my account back when the site first launched. I remember joining since I figured it would be a good place to break off from Gaiaonline since I was there most of the time. Plus it didn't help that I got sick of their BS. xD
I know when the black out happened, I was super active in Voltra's official discord. Then when it came back online, I was active here for a few months before my depression hit me like a brick wall.

@devil:

Hopefully that will be the case. I know I've been seeing people on tiktok mention sites like Gaiaonline every so often, but mostly as a way to provide a free resource for OC creation or "Hey do you remember this website?" kind of thing. I haven't seen anyone mention this website, but then again, it was kinda niche. I believe I found this website through facebook, funny enough.

@WretroughWorld:

Honestly? Same. I know there was another website I was a part of that was pretty similar to Voltra in size, but it shut down out of the blue. I don't know what happened to it, but I loved the avatars there and made several cute ones. One of my favorites was a bee themed avatar.

I think I visit every once in a blue moon, but its not as often as I should though.

Only asking, but does anyone know if any of the site moderators are active? I know Voz hasn't been active since 1 year ago, which is pretty concerning to me. I did look over what was said in his last post and he said he'd keep the site up.

Please ping me to get my attention

@DragonicKittens: Yeah, I've seen those too. Idk I feel like if any of these sites will have any type of resurgence it'll probably be GaiaOnline since it's the most well-known and active. But they really would have to put it resource and time to update it's archaic infrastructure to grab any long-term users. I've been part developing these types of niche sites, as a pixel artist, that I'm not surprise you found it through FB haha! For some reason FB was just a ideal platform to update people about these sites during it's prime.

As for the staff, sadly I wasn't active enough here to get to know them so I have no clue with the state of things here.

pls ping me.

leave me a cute message?
