I Recognize So Many People...

Oh yes, Windlyn is so friendly, I love it. Everywhere else seems to seperate into groups but Windlyn's too small for that >w<

I'm sure Diana is thrilled to know that Windlyn is seen as she intended it to be--a safe, friendly, positive place for people to gather to share and have fun.

I have no doubt that Windlyn will grow in the future, but I hope that it won't lose Diana's core intent for all of us. What I find fantastic is everyone in our little community helps perpetuate Diana's vision. Positive upward spirals are the best!

So you used to own your own site? :o
(I actually think I've seen the screen name Opium before.)

I really hope it stays this way when it gets larger.

You drew out Autus?welcome back !(I saw the blue wings!)

[Valentine Strange]

Okay I'm going to make a bad pun so...
Oh, is he like a shiny Pokemon? Rare, hard to find, and sparkly?

Autus
Sorry that was bad. I'm new here so it's nice to meet you.
And I think I'm going to follow Gingerale's example and say welcome back.

I am curious. What is aywas?

[Valentine Strange]

Boris
It's an avatar and pet site.
The pets originally reminded me of Neopets, but they're a little bit different. You can also make custom pets and items there. It appears though that some nasty people have joined and are causing problems. It's always been clique-ish, but there were nice people. So nice clique-ish? If that makes sense. Except maybe for a few people who were genuinely mean. But now it appears to be becoming more toxic. They're also having some trouble with this one piece of code from the Christmas event that just passed. It hurls "feesh" at you and they have no way or idea of how to remove it. The one who programmed it also hasn't been on in awhile. (Though he did experience a loss in the family so it's understandable that he hasn't been on.) I got my info back a couple weeks ago, but haven't really been on. Hiding from flying "feesh" and not wanting to run into the new toxic people.

Valentine Strange I see... for some reason, I want to join... do you think could start my own paradigm there?

[Valentine Strange]

Boris
Maybe, you could try.

Sorry for late reply. I'm actually trying to catch up on pet gifting on there.
And if you do join I'll send you some stuff.

[Boris]

Valentine Strange Can you send me a link?

[Valentine Strange]

Boris
Yeah, sure. May I send it in a message though? I don't want to seem like I'm advertising by posting a link in the forums.

[Boris]

Valentine Strange Of course! ^_^

[Boris]

I don't like having to use real name.

[Valentine Strange]

It's asking for you're real name?
That's new and weird creepy.
I didn't have to when I first joined, but that was back in 2012. That's not cool that they added something like that. Is it skippable? Or does it say you're missing required fields when you hit join?
I honestly don't know how long I'm staying there anyways. So many people I used to know on there have already left and the ones still there are debating about leaving. So maybe it's for for the best.
I wouldn't join if you can't avoid putting that info in. That really is creepy they added that.

[Boris]

I already did ;n;

[Valentine Strange]

Oh.
Okay. I'm sorry. If I had know they changed sign ups I'd have told you.
