      And you had to battle other girls for the boys. And if you "zapped them enough" you basically had a trail of ghost-lovers trailing up behind you, with different types of boys.
      Holy shit...one type was even in a relationship. If you had enough power, you could rip a bound man from his gf.

    I feel like what’s the saddest about this is that it’s such a unique experience growing up in the olden days of shitty flash games. It’s something that will probably never be recreated ever again (not really a bad thing though cause we’re all fucked). It’s just a rare experience that you will never understand unless you spent hours on your nasty old computer that could only run shitty flash games cause if you did anything more it would explode

Nobody my age remembers games like Animal jam and the water park games because they were too busy playing Roblox and Minecraft. I kinda wish I was born earlier because I can't relate to many people's childhoods, which makes me feel lonely when thinking about how fun these games used to be.

    "Why did a flash game site targeted at tween girls start petering off in the 2010's?"
    The 3DS, which was the next (and last) in the DS line, which was the most popular line of video game consoles among young girls, came out and so did Animal Crossing New Leaf, which was (at the time) the newest installment in a franchise that was also massively popular among young girls. It was also when we would get the pokemon games with the fairy-typing, themes of fashion, and introduction of a nintendogs-like gameplay mechanic. I think what happened was that the mainstream video gaming market just ended up striking a chord with young girls at that moment in time.

      (not talking about tween girls specifically but) the DS and 3DS were extremely popular in their own right but flash game sites had the advantage of having wide catalogs of free games. I would argue it was mobile games that dug the graves of free game sites as more and more families were getting iPads, for instance

    Even the thumbnail brings back so many memories. I used to adore Girls Go Games. I'd play the Kindergarten game, the Avie games, and all the fun makeover games for hours! I remember there was an animal shelter game at one point with all sorts of cute dogs and hamsters and cats, and I spent so long playing it because I couldn't stand the sad looks on the animals faces when they weren't fed enough. GGG went downhill so fast, and it's sad that it did because for a while it was a genuinely cool site.

    Did anyone else remember like salon games? Where you'd have customers line up and drag them to various stations and run around to help them. There'd be upgrades when you got money at the end of the levels so you could improve your salon and other things, there were also customers that were more snippy about how long you took to get to them.
    There was also a plethora of like pet games, where you would run around to various rooms to take care of sick or injured pets. You'd get an emergency alert that I swear would give you a heart attack, and you'd be rushed to a back room where an ambulance would dump out a ton of pets.
    Also the dolphin games...

    I remember playing a lot of dollhouse games. You didn’t really do much on them really, you just moved around the 2d-characters and their furniture but I loved it. I have always had a strong desire to tell stories and through those games I could make up stories about these characters.

    As someone who was there til the end, they were removing a lot of social aspects, like achievements and the customizeable avatars to place in stock pictures and the home feed, and creativity saving mechanics, like the gallery and save states, which made a lot of people start leaving. And then it pretty much died off the moment they removed login access which was the final straw for those who had stayed. They removed a lot of crowd favorite mmorpg games because of the login removal, and they were deleting good games even before that to make room for the more disturbing content. People left because the owners tried to make it less prone to being sued or reported, yanno, 'child friendly' claims, yet added more and more disturbing and disgusting content. Which chased most if not all of their dedicated fanbase off. And then the flash purge happened...

    My mom was a beta tester and gamer so I grew up watching her play, and my sister and I had a (really old) computer in our room that my mom built. We grew up playing frogger, speedy eggbert, orbz, think tanks, and insane aquarium. We learned a love of puzzles and creative problem solving from watching my mom play games with those elements, and I genuinely seek out puzzles and puzzle games to this day. So the idea that being a “girl gamer” wasn’t the norm was pretty funny to me when I first heard it. I mean, my dad is hopeless at games, while my mom was solving puzzles and finding exploits to help developers.

My mom and me would sometimes spend time together playing a few of the games so I have a lot of happy memories tied to the website. I spent hours upon hours on this game website, but sometime around my my earlier pre teen age I slowly grew apart from going on the website, but when I watched a video about someone going on the website in 2018 or I was completely appalled by what the website became.
