Oh my God I completely forgot about Bella Sara! I had a horse girl friend who would lend me some of her duplicate cards so I could claim them on my account. Thank you for unlocking such a memory! Do you perhaps remember the name of a 3D avatar creator that was popular around that time? The avatars looked like chibi characters, it was very popular among Netlog users ...

Yes!! BuddyPoke!! If I remember correctly Netlog had a "lite" version with a different name, but the official website was BuddyPoke with more animations (like the Caramelldansen), backgrounds etc. but I may be misremembering, it was a long time ago hahaha I had only one account that I used mostly for BuddyPokes, I was obsessed with dress up games and avatar creators! I kinda miss Netlog, it was chaotic but fun (like

... (like MSN Blogs ...)! Thank you again for relieving these warm memories 💖 (I didn't know there's a character limit to comments, sorry!!)

I've never heard about Netlog before, but we had the buddy poke on Orkut. It was highly popular at that time and it had all animations (I didn't know that they had their own site, I always thought that it was an Orkut thing lol)

Also I've never played BellaSara but a girl in a vocaloid that I participated in 2011 was so addicted that she would even create threads about it and talk of the game to everyone. But I didn't know that it was an trading card game (it seems that when you live in a 3rd world country you miss a lot of stuff lol)

Like this cute doll website that I stumbled by chance when I was 9 or something, recently I found out that it was called Diva Starz and they were real doll toys (I'd never know since they never sold these dolls in my country).

@ladyofthesea YEAH it definitely went under a different name, i totally remember it now its kind of crazy.. netlog was a huge deal here before facebook for some reason, my whole school had it! and thank you too ＼(￣▽￣)／

@nekonokuni it seems netlog was belgian, why it took off here in the balkans i am NOT sure, but it also didn't really take off in all towns. interesting I never heard of orkut before and it belonged to google wow?

cabbagesorter 2 years ago

and i feel you so much on missing out on things.. tbh it was a real miracle we even had bella sara here, i believe they stopped selling cards way earlier than when they actually stopped being produced, it didnt really take off ;_; but i really loved them

also omg diva starz was mattels, damn. their blinkable eyes are freaking me out a bit lmao

I think that Orkut was created by Google to be a competitor of Myspace but it didn't work because Orkut was only popular in Brazil and India lol It started losing popularity bc of Facebook then Google shut it down in 2014, I think

nekonokuni 2 years ago

But Orkut was way cooler than Facebook, it had communities that you could join and the communities were like small forums that you could create topics to talk about stuff, also it didn't had followers or likes/dislikes and you could leave a message in other person's profile that was basically like a guestbook

Orkut was such a good social media when you stop to think about it, no ads, no tracking, literally nothing. just people talking about whatever and making communities about it

ongezell 2 years ago

there was a really famous one here in Brazil that was about eating Ramen with ice cubes, had 1 million members lol

cabbagesorter 2 years ago

such a shame it died off, feels like the closest thing to it are facebook groups... its kind of weird how no other social media offers this social aspect of small communities and forums

IDK but I'm kind of (more than kind of, actually) disappointed to see his site go. One of my faves around, TBH. Hope he's alright.

@Paintkiller @enflicted I know, I was surprised. My guess is that he had bigger projects. Like what Paintkult was. He might E-Mail me, but I do not know his whereabouts (I have not checked my E-Mail today, though..
