A game that I used to play (TERA) has also been doing that lately. Besides the fact that the females get a lot of pretty cash shop outfits, there've also been two new classes that are both female-locked.

And the cash shop outfits are often only for Elins, the lolita animal girl race.

....One of the reasons I stopped playing.

I think I had been looking into that game at some point but never did join, now I'm glad I never did. It took a lot of complaining from the users on UF to get more male items but with every release they do try to release either male only or both gender items for people. :3

I mean, TERA is really good gameplay-wise, but....yeah.

I was actually looking for them too, in at least the donation items if not the egg items. And all they really had to be was maybe some recolors of old donation items if it would save time. :3

I think...someone did mention something a while ago about not wanting to become like Gaia and just re-releasing old DIs in new colors. Slightly different context, though.

I have to agree with Obsidian on that, granted its nice to have new items, but we understand that it also takes more time to make new ones than old ones, so if recolors are all there is time for (especially with the holidays) then that's what we'll have to deal with. :3

Pinterest is the best example I can offer. It launched in 2010 and is currently enjoying being the 28th most visited website on the Internet. Imgur is another good example, having launched in 2009 and holding the #43 spot, as are Stack Overflow (2008, #60), Twitch (2011, #233), and Vine (2013, #805).

Medium and Storify look like they may be up-and-coming players, as they both launched this year and are already getting a lot of traffic. Time will tell if they endure.

Twitch, and vine, I can see. The others. as they are at least 4 years old, I didn't consider new sites.

I assume most people at least think Yoku, even I do especially when it comes to games with limited characters...then I just put Yoku XD

Well, on Gaia right now, mine isn't that gothic, it has demon wings? I guess it would be considered sceneish? -narrows eyes-

I have no idea what mine here would be considered. x'D I also have a thing for vests. owo

You can't ask for both "new sites" and "lifespan" in the same question. :P I picked examples of stuff that's relatively recent that has increased in traffic as the avatar site fad has faded.

But I did pick a couple examples of contenders that might get there.

*shrugs* Perhaps I'm too pessimistic. Sort of go in expecting failure in most things.

Well, you're not wrong. Most things do fail. You'll always find more examples of failures than successes.
