Yes, very unfortunate. But I think there will most likely only be an international server, so it wouldn't be practical any way to take back your entire account with all of your rares. It is also a question if they somehow managed to still have that data after 6 years.

it is obvious it happens due to ES's success and while I do hope the ppl that loved this site will get to enjoy it again I don't see it being good

no, I was never there and from what I've mostly heard the good things were the functions like wd and interior the game offered, and the community was full of teen drama,
and as I'm on this site mostly fort he forums I wouldn't like well... that

A reboot might mean an overhaul of everything, and as they are starting fresh, they might.

Give kids cute pixels, stuff to customize, and the "feeling" that they can do and say whatever they wanna and you get a zoo.
Will they succeed? Dunno, maybe maybe not, but the intention and why it is happening seems well... yeah

I don't want to get ahead of things. Not at all.

But gSm's TikTok account has 1000 followers on TikTok in less than a week (read: 4 days) and some videos have also been viewed around 20000 - 40000 times.

the gsm reboot seems to be exactly as it was before it got shut down

honestly i think we will have to consider ourselves lucky if they have even bothered to fix the flash issues

Also old-gSmers all make TikTok videos about goSupermodel so I think the young children are also attracted to that.

again, I think it'll go in 3 direction
closing down again after a while,
or becoming dead like vp, if not more,
or becoming ES 2

but guess time will tell

Of course, and it also takes time. However, even when old gSmers watch the videos, the account, the videos as well, of goSupermodel is automatically boosted by TikTok.

In any case, I think it's nice to see how it's already going so far.

Well, if I have to dust somewhere, I'd rather do it on a site like goSupermodel than VP.

All about preference.
I wouldn't wanna be on a site that has too many kids which is why I'd never actively use ES, and if GSM when it comes back will have a strong children\young teens demographic I'd rather not use it as well.

To be fair, the goSupermodel community used to be mainly made up of teenagers. The only difference is that you were one yourself at the time and therefore went along with it. Even now, I have no problem with it.

The only reason I'm not on ES is because the layout of the website doesn't appeal to me at all and doesn't give me any nostalgic memories. I do have that feeling with gSm. So yes, it just depends on your preference.

If you'd actually read what I said, I was never on GSM.
Also, as a matter of fact, I joined VP in 2016, when I was 16, and JUST because of all the drama and stuff that were going on here back in the day I quit in 2017 and came back at the end of 2019 when the corona pandemic started more or less, So no I wasn't really okay with that and I did not go along with it at all.

I had a problem with it back then, I do even more now, do not assume something and dump it on someone else based on your experience.

The problem I have with ES is its toxic community and horrid owners, the things they did and still do to people don't shock me as I know what people can be capable of, more so baffled at how blind others can be to it.
I don't have the nostalgia for any game as even VP I used as a teen, I like the forum function and the community, so for me, I see no reason to change things up.

Still despite that, again, I hope the people that yearn for the site to come back will feel happy with it and that it'll tick all the boxes they wanted GSM to check, as people DID like it and there must be a reason for that, I'll be staying here anyway.
