Man I keep bouncing back to this site about every two years but I keep on missing the events and everything. Anyone else in the boat? Last time I was really on here, the Custom Wearables were pretty new but now it seems like that's the major art market. Coming from an artist, how do you even make SP for art anymore??

Anyway, I'm Blink (MissingNo is such an old Alias) and hi lmao

I come every couple of years also. I don't remember how to make money or find gree items ^-^ I'm Andy

Hey! for some reason I can't ping you but yeah the only way I make money is through the economy now, finding all the good rare items and stuff (although those have changed a lot too ugh)

Man though there are some really gorgeous CWs now

EDIT: that should work there's a ping user button on the bar up there. Though you still aren't highlighted, hmm...

Ah thank you, these are super helpful. It has been such a long time, but I'm glad that there are still really kind and helpful people here! Thank you so much!

Welcome back :) I have been struggling with this same issue for the 10 years I have been apart of this site. I usually take a couple month break and wind up coming back at some point or another. I just can't seem to give it up.

I mean it's kind of nice to have something relaxing and creative to lean back on when times are down or slow though, right? And the nicest people have always been here! I used to do art trades and free art gifts, though admittedly I've gotten better over the years. I'm about to come up on my 7th anniversary on the site! Time flies.

It really is. Sometimes I get bored of being on here but then after a while I start to miss certain aspects. I find it to be relaxing and something just to take my mind off things. And I totally agree about the nicest people part. I have talked to some of the coolest people on here and I love how friendly people are. It is rare, especially for the internet lol. Congrats on 7 years!

I think I come back mostly when I feel inspired to write about my OCs, but I'm kind of like, drained to do it for like a D&D story or just for my own purposes. On here, you can work towards a goal or have other people look at it en masse and kind of get more feedback than usual. I also loooove restocking and economic things. Super fun. Thank you! How long have you been here?

I've received a few gifts since getting back here and its just the nicest thing ever, my new outfit includes some of those things and I couldn't be happier! People are wonderful. Once I get my SP back up, I'd like to return the favour to people coming back.

Welcome back! I've been on the site for 11 years and I will take a break every now and then but I always seem to find myself back here. XD I've done a lot of pet revamps and moving around since coming back this last time. New pets = new inspiration, amirite? XD

I know exactly what you mean -- I totally nabbed Feyrie and Shadeweaver and Nymph as soon as I got back and was like... goodbye pokemon themes I love you but

I can't wait to get going. 11 years!!! Welcome back from your breaks whenever they were! I hope you have as much fun as I do with your OCs! Thank you for the welcome back!!

Those are awesome names! :D

Hi! Welcome back to Subeta! 😊 I came back not too long ago after several years of inactivity, so I know how you feel. (I've missed many Survivals, Masquerades, Vesnalis, Morostides, and so forth, lol.) I hope you settle back in nicely and comfortably! 😀

And your username makes me really nostalgic. I still love the first generation Pokemon games. 😁

thank you! welcome back from all your hiatuses as well! I know, I really enjoy vesnali so hopefully I won't miss it again!! Likewise for settling back in to anyone who's coming back!

Oh thank you! I want to change it, but at the same time it's so like... it's my BRAND how could I haha. Your avatar is lovely by the way!

I've never fully participated in Vesnali before, so I'm really looking forward to it this year! I'll definitely be around for it, lol.

Aww, thank you! 😊 I also really like your avatar--you did a great job with layering everything! 😮 As one who struggles with layering clothing, I'm impressed. 😁

Hi ! Welcome back! I came back after a 3+ year hiatus around Luminaire/Christmas, and I've been re-addicted ever since, haha. The events are just too fun!

I too am a HUGE fan of restocking as well as everything avatar-related! Your avatar is amazing by the way!

Crazy it has been 11 years. I was a baby when I first started lol. I totally love the economic side to it as well. I usually don't pay as much attention to the pet side of this site as the achievements. They give me something to keep at. I have a long time friend on here and we compete to see who has the most achievements.

What are OCs? And yeah luckily it is fairly easy to build a bit of sP rather quickly as long as you keep at it lol.

Thanks for the welcome back! I love luminaire, I used to gift random people stuff just because! Oh thank you! I'm not sure which one you meant because I just love changing outfits so much but thank you all the same haha! Yours is cute too! Restocking is totally the best. I'm like a huge nerd clicking the shopkeep waiting for that restock green sign to go

Oh Vesnali was so much fun, looking out for all the flowers! It's my favourite I think, unless they've changed it or I'm remembering it wrong. And oh no your avvie is so cute you did such a good job! I feel like I overclutter too much and i never did well in the 'judge my avvie contests" lmao Yours is gorgeous!!

That is a VERY long time but I commend you for staying on to it! OCs is just short for Original Characters. Ah man, I convinced one person to get on here but I'm teaching them and its very much baby steps, as it is with all sites like this. There's so much you have to figure out alone! Like restocking haha. I remember massively researching which items were the top of the top to grab. But I am really big into like, writing the Pet stories out and doing art for them its just I have so little time and noooooo cash or SP to afford to pay someone to do the Profiles or anything. The economy in that sense got weird because it seems like people barely go to artshops anymore for their pet's fanart?

Thanks~! 😊 Really?! No way, I don’t think your avatar is cluttered at all! I think everything blends very well—I didn’t think there were that many layers put together until I checked out your profile to see what you had put on, lol. It all looks good together! 😀

Oh gosh thank you though! Still your avvie is so pretty I wanna sketch a little thing of it tbh I have hella slots on tumblr that i'm supposed to be doing (did a free commission post and it filled up quick--i had taken a few months break from drawing last year and needed to get back into it and that seemed like a good way until a tidalwave of people came ahah)

But maybe I can do i quick sketch when I'm done with my current commission -- it would be faster than what i'm doing if that's okay!

I doodled this for you in between working on commissions ! I hope you like it!
