the obsession though is actually hair. big heads means big hair and small bodies mean you do not have to commit to large avatars

It started with an E, right? I think? Fell apart due to staff embezzling issues?

And the community seemed pretty ok with that. Anyone who complained was told they can buy things using in game currency, but that was a bit hard...

Anyway, that's part one of "why I left Subeta" rant.

Really enjoyed Sapherna as well. Though that community seemed to have slowed down a bit. Adorable avatars even if you can't really layer things as you'd like.

Note to self: ask my friend who codes for Subeta about the currency.

If it's anything like it used to be, everyone was "loaded" yet couldn't buy anything. lol
The sad part was when they removed interest in their bank. It became a place to store sP so that random events didn't steal it all. Which isn't a bad thing, but sad none the less.

[Stabbsworth]

huh. i guess it's a good thing that i never got into subeta.

[Burnt Rice]

I was pretty into the site. Had so much junk that it took me a couple weeks to give out. Not something you want to be doing when getting ready for vacation! Probably could have timed that better.

Say, anyone here remember Syndrone?

Talking about Ernya, I think?

[littl3chocobo]

nope, eryna closed from embezzling but it wasn't a pet site. it had mono-tone monthlies and sold colours separately as well

hart has it though, i was thinking syndrone. fuck me how many sites i've gotten into during or just after beta X''D

there was a german pet site that was all aout plants instead of animals. i rather liked that one though they had super limited room for collecting and the sole artist died a few years back

[Coda]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that embezzling happened on more than one site.

[littl3chocobo]

i want to say it had a couple of the same owners though. a lot of leads tend to make a site and then leave it for another new site. i used to keep tabs on this sort of thing(i knew so many mods afterall) but that feels like a lifetime ago

how do they even manage to keep the servers up if the site gets left behind

[littl3chocobo]

that is more of a coda question than a choco one X''D

[Kitalpha Hart]

Change owners
Keep paying for the servers

My second guess was S. Yeah, Syndrone. I actually liked the feel of that site, but boy was it cliquey. Not as much as Ernya, but still.

[littl3chocobo]

i dunno, i wasn't able to sell art on syndrome because i didn't come with recommendations but i sold plenty on ernya and while neither were hospitable in clubs you could at least leave a comment without getting outright harassed for daring to impeded on a good time XD

[Kitalpha Hart]

Doesn't help that on Syn the worst one was friends with the owner and could get away with bullying and harassment because of that connection

[littl3chocobo]

dude, that guy sent me nasty pms for a while until i could finally get mod help.
