Yea I originally joined Gaia in 2008 T^T
I'm so frickin old lmao
High Rise is actually an app but they have a PC app as well
It reminded me of towns on Gaia
I loved it, invested way too much money into it
I eventually left because there were so many minors
in rooms that were supposed to be for adults
I don't exactly mind interacting with kids on the internet
I was once a kid on the internet myself and had older
folks not looked out for me in those spaces I could have gotten into trouble
the problem is not everyone knows that I'm a "Safe Adult"
and I don't want to get caught up in something with some
random kid who was just saying hello
I also use gaming as a break from my own kids so
I'm not exactly thrilled to be essentially babysitting someone else's
Everskies is a similar issue, lot's of minors there but thankfully
they aren't all up in the adults only spaces
It's forums is actually groups of forums made by other users
so you join a bunch of groups and then you interact that way
There's some specifically for Art and stuff
What I like about it is you can have a plus size avi
(I'm plus sized IRL) and you can play it on your phone or web browser
no pets tho which isn't a big deal for me
