The main reasons kids websites are no longer around or extremely sterile: - corporate greed - the rise of the iPhone/ipad/ iPod touch and with it apps and mobile games - the death of flash - online spaces for kids being overrun with PDF files as well as hackers trying to get the parents money - the rise of social media

Got out my modded 3DS XL just yesterday and got everything up-to-date on it. It's something in the air I guess, idk. Gotta get Pretendo or whatever up and running tho. Last time I used the console was like seven months before the network got shut down.

For me I played Webkinz, A LOT of Animal Jam (I even got my parents to buy me Membership), A bit of Neopets (but only a little), I also really liked the Cartoon Network Website. I also (when I was really young) played the McDonald's MMO (yes that was a thing!), anyway the McDonald's one is actually lose media now, not surprising with how obscure it was (despite being McDonald's)

I think I remember playing Progidy as some type of math homework? (or maby some ripoff of it...) The professor had assigned progressing to a certain point as 'homework', but none of the kids felt like doing it, and I had speedran a month's worth of tasks in an afternoon so he dropped the idea the next day XD

aint NO WAY bro put toontown in the thumbnail and then proceeded to not mention it 💀 ANYWAYS, for anyone interested in virtual worlds that still exist, Toontown Rewritten is an amazing fan revival of Toontown with around 1000 players a day -- it's still very alive and kicking and getting new content! Most importantly, unlike most other fan projects I've seen, Toontown Rewritten is very dedicated to having the same quality of moderation as the original game (if not better) and is very kid-friendly still -- Highly would recommend as a child-friendly space since so many of those have been disappearing

it's always so funny to me when people look back on poptropica being this amazing limitless game. apparently it's an example of getting into something too early being a bad thing. i was introduced to it when it was SUPER new, possibly the year it came out, and what you could do with it was... very limited. i still remember the first couple new islands coming out. it was kinda fun, but once you completed the like 3-4 islands or whatever it had when i stopped playing, it didn't have much else to do. i don't even remember much of the multiplayer stuff so it was probably a really primitive version of that. idk like despite other sites also having limitations, i just remember it not really having the same replayability element that like. the pizza maker game in club penguin did, or whatever. i don't doubt that it eventually got to the point people reminisce on, but i guess it happened after i'd already largely given up on it
