@mizuie: I actually joined before the site was even open. I saw some of the development posts and liked the site so much I joined staff and was on before it was live. XD
It’s really something special!
I’m super shy in person, I actually have social anxiety. But I’m much more comfortable and myself on forums, so avatar forums have become my safe space. Whichout them I don’t think I’d ever socialize.
I spent some money on avatar sites when I was younger. Most of the money from my first job went to Gaia and others. Sadly now I have bills and less spending money. >.<
I’ve just woken up, need to eat breakfast. But I’m planning to go to a neighboring town for an international fair. It’s the first year and they seem sketchy about what will show up. But it sounds fun.
