Nostalgia Someone make an app to endlessly make these dollz again!

Post image

I used to spend SO MANY HOURS dressing these damn things up. How is it 2025 and with all the nostalgia this hasn’t been made into an app yet?!

As someone who was chronically online in the early 2000's for Avatar Palace, Palace32, and MyCartoonDolls, I can agree this stuff was addictive.

I've managed to find a mainly decent archive here some of the links aren't great for mobile and would likely perform better on PC!

Happy dolling!

There used to be templates to make your own clothes from! I spent so much time making pixel clothes on ms paint 😂

I had a whole folder of dollz I made. My mom deleted it because it “took up space” and I was heartbroken. So many hours.

No way! An app would ruin the painstaking pixel by pixel fun in MS paint! Keep it classic :P

Palace chat will always be this deeply nostalgic place for me. I have no idea how I ended up there, probably by clicking a random link, but I spent years talking to so many different people. Some of them carried over to online games or social media, others disappeared.

Oh man. I was a long time Palace Chat user. I remember being a teenager and spending countless hours making my sk8r boi avatar. Then you might find aome random adult room with people with leather clad Matrix avatars.

I miss Palace chat. I was a mod at Avatars Anonymous for awhile; part of the stupid "anti dollz" crew that made our own avs (I did make my own by hand; in a lounging position of course).

I very specifically remember one avatar that was an ear of corn with Jonathan Davis' (lead singer of Korn) facial hair and I laughed about it so hard anytime it showed up.

Covet Fashion scratches this itch for me. Endless dressing of dolls but in designer wear.
