I dont know anything about coding and how difficult this would or would not be, but if there is any place for minigame suggestions, could we toss Sudoku into the hat??
As far as puzzle games go, this one has got to be one of my favorites! :vanora_smile:

Also, absolutely loving the minigame page layout <3

@Alorrena:
I tried to log into gaia to see what its doing now, but I have officially completely forgotten my login lmao
for the best I think.

I did play around on towns in the earlier years of gaia, that used to be fun. Full of confused preteens, myself included at the time. Hahaha
but 99% of the time I was in the forums messing about.

Yeah, voltra definitely has a more comfortable feel to it. There's more heart in it.

This is an ingame convention on the crystal data center that I just heard about today.
Not sure how many years they've been doing it, but have any of you heard of it? O::
Its been announced for July 29-31st and I'm kinda curious to check it out when the time comes!!
I usually take time off in July for Artfight anyways >>

Hope this doesn't end up coming off as an ad thread
more just genuine curiosity and excitement for a convention that I dont have to get off my ass for HAHA

Idk if charity would be the best place or the undercurrent.. but if I wanted to host any sort of event/contest or whatnot, what would be the best forum for that? oAo

idk, I'm tryina think of something I could do to help liven the place while the true events are off season, so I don't have anything specific just yet

@Alorrena:
Perhaps its a subject of adhd, that I feel like I need several things to do at once at any given time
so I thrived on gaia for a while. Juggling between RPing, art threads, hangout threads, PMs. I got into making my own art threads and streaming as well. Met my best friend on there and he and I've been friends for 12 years since!

Buuut gaia got weird and I'm pretty sure its not any more active than voltra is now days.
Funny enough, I send a ticket in one day asking them if I could have my account deleted cause I had a new one and didn't want it immortalized. 3 YEARS LATER, like a month ago, I got a reply saying no
XD

IM MEGA SAD
I've spent all morning sitting around, unable to focus
cause I was expecting a delivery! I'VE BEEN WAITING 3 WEEKS to get my footboard in so that my bed frame can finally be put together. It arrived broken the first time, so its been sitting around in pieces waiting for a new piece.
FInally had it scheduled for today from 11-2pm
So I wait
and wait
wait
and wait
and finally its 2 and I'm like, something's wrong here
So I text my manager (the delivery is coming from our sister company, connected to our store) and I'm like hey can you take a peek at the schedule, maybe I was delayed.
She researched into it to find that I was one of a lot of people whose orders got cancelled today because our notorious driver called out. And that the manager of that side tried calling me and left a voice mail (which I thought he sounded like an automated message so I absolutely deleted it before really listening, then got distracted by 3 other voice mails of geico spamming me lmfao)
SO SURE
He called me at like 9am about this
so it is absolutely my fault for wasting my day waiting cause I didn't listen to my voice mail thoroughly
BUT IM SO SAD NOW I have to wait another week to finally get my mattress off the floor :vanora_cry:

tbh I think I'm more sad about the waste of time waiting
but even more sad about having to move the bed slats out of the way again cause theyaresohardtomove

@Alorrena:
Yeah and art forums were always bustling with new artists wanting practice, and avi-proud ones seeking art.
Art shops left and right, projects and contests.
I miss all that! Like a little online city bustling and noisy XD
Now we're a little village, which is nice in its own ways cause there's no one toxic here. And we get to know each other easier.

I'd never want anything quite as big as what gaia became back in the day, that was a bit chaotic. But like, Ernya in its prime was the perfect pace ^^
Had quiet moments, but mostly bustling.


@GoblinsAndTea:
THat is true! I'm terrible about missing the events ;;
Or will only have time for about a day. But they are where I have the most fun on here for sure <3

@Totalanimefan:
Thats awesome! I'm sure they're not easy to make by scratch like that!

I'm not sure, I didn't watch her make it. Just saw the result.
The ones I make take me forever but thats because I take breaks for a while to do other things

@Alorrena:
Right, I get these moods where I just wanna pop on and chat with everyone
and I love the chats I get with people but then I run out of thoughts to have, and there's no other threads active to like... jump in and join a conversation somewhere else.

I used to always thread hop back in the day. Was so much fun having a variety of people to chat with or read their threads. Always user made events going on and things to do that last more than a moment because enough people are involved. If that all makes sense, I'm being real vague XD

I just miss the old spark of avatar sites so much!

No ill will meant toward voltra in its current state, its still such a very cozy site--definitely my favorite avatar site remaining.
But I cant help but feel a little sad when I pop on on occasion. I always get the feeling like i really wanna come back to these things and hang out longer. But there's not a lot going on. I kinda miss logging into a site and every time I refresh the page, theres a bunch of new threads popping up at once. I hate feeling like forum-like websites like these are a dying fad because they were always such a wholesome corner of the internet to be in.
My happy little place to mingle with the best kinds of people--for some reason these sites usually draw in amazing personalities and creative types.

I still enjoy voltra on the occasion that I do drop in to chat a bit.
I hope to see it bustle again some day. Maybe when we all get too sick of mainstream social media again, who knows? Perhaps avatar sites can get a second wind some day XD

@Totalanimefan:
Ohhh I wonder if it was one of those doll house things? Like they aren't actually for dolls since they're smaller, but you can find parts or kits for them in the same section as these kits usually. Some people get the kit where they build it off instructions, and some will straight up just... build an entire thing themselves by doing their own measuring and wood cutting XD
They're a bit bigger than this but also very cool, my grandma made one and would let me play with it when I was little. I would just end up staring at the miniature pieces, like mini cookie sheet with ginger bread cookies on it, and other tiny things they were stupidly cute!

@Totalanimefan:
Yeah! It just woke up an inspiration in me to start practicing with making miniature things in clay :D
Got a few little clay squares to start with! If I make anything more than a glorified turd, I'll post pictures on here <3

@Totalanimefan:
Oh how cute :D
I wanted to find some earrings or soemthing that I could wear to work, but surprisingly couldn't find many options that were not like... really simple plastic red bead on a string for like $40 lmao noty
thought to make my own but then I blinked and suddenly its today

@Totalanimefan:
Yesss!
I don't have any, so I'll just eat some pb cookies instead XD
once I get around to baking them
