Yeah, TekTek was a thing a few years ago. The big reason Gaia finally made them go away was that Tekton started Recolor, and covered TekTek in ads about it.

Ohh so that's why Recolor got popular from TekTek. I guess they did a good job of getting people from Gaia x'D

The whole Gaia-Tektek thing still makes me angry since the letter told him to take the website down, whether he took down the recolor ads or not...and Gaia still doesn't have a good replace imo

A lot of my sites are shutting down. :(

Yeah, not many of them are getting the money they need I think.Or are just terrible sites. ^^;

What about syndrone? Will it survive?

Could this be the end of the "customizable avatar" era or something?

Certainly not. Being able to customize your character has become a staple of modern games. However, the era of web forums is certainly on the decline, and customizable avatars alone aren't enough to make a thriving community off of anymore.

I think I'm going to miss the good old days in Syndrone several years from now. It's avatar system is so stylish that it makes Gaia look like its for babies (Gaia is one of the most regretful things I did online FYI). Worried if trisphee would end up the same...

Never fear! We've got no plans to go anywhere, and if we did -- for some unfathomable reason -- decide that the site was unsustainable, we would give plenty of advance notice and full communication instead of disappearing without a word. We fully intend to do everything in our power to keep as much of the site as we can going for as long as we can.

Even then, should the worst come to pass, I've already got plans to keep a read-only archive of the site online indefinitely, so you can always go back and see it. I'd like to even try to find a way to keep the avatar editor online, even though you wouldn't be able to save them to the site.

That would be pretty interesting to see. o.o

It would basically be the avatar editor we have now (or the new one Toho's working on), with something similar to the shops interface instead of a personal inventory (since we wouldn't have personal inventories anymore, since the site would be read-only), a save function that would give you some text you could copy somewhere if you wanted to edit it later, a load function where you could paste in that text, and a download function that would turn the avatar into a PNG file that you could upload to some other site.

Or at least, that's what it WOULD be like. I don't expect to ever actually DO it, because I don't expect the site to die.

Oh, Trisphee's definitely not going anywhere. It'll always be here. I'll keep paying for it.

I still have high hopes for Trisphee growing larger and self-sustaining, but it's true, a forum alone isn't quite enough.

Which is why I can't wait for that game Coda mentioned possibly putting together much later on. owo

All I have left on Gaia.
I really hate their gold counts...it's too much and too annoying.

Don't say "much later on" because the initial release of it is scheduled for spring. :o

EDIT: Unless you mean the ridiculously ambitious RPG idea that I want to do someday... THAT one's definitely "much later on".

The one were we can make pets to be added to it, and matching stuff. XD
