this is a bit old and maybe outdated, given that it’s from 2012, but it’s probably the best and most comprehensive resource for learning about the basic locations in worlds and how they work. i’m sick of that “forgotten worlds” blog getting spread around when there’s better information, made by people with significantly less harmful intentions, out there.
Hey there! I'd like your new Tumblr url; and though I found this page through the "Forgotten World's Blog," I MOST CERTAINLY did NOT buy into their Narrative — I was VERY disappointed by the Blog, as I went there hoping to find more Links, or hints to Interesting, & Still Frequented places 'In Game,' of which I didn't find much. Also, I found that Blog's Author to have a Rather Skewed Vision: one FAR more Revealing of his own PERSONAL ISSUES, than any possessed by anyone he attempted to Expose!
hello! i am not giving out my current blog because unfortunately there are a lot of people out there who treat worlds like an ARG and don’t care about the fact that the users & others involved are people. it’s good that you aren’t buying into the “ooohh scary cult!” stuff but there are a lot of others who just don’t care and want to continue perpetuating a harmful narrative and harassing anyone who they see as “involved.” anybody who wants to contact me about worlds can continue to do so through this blog.
but i can provide you with a resource for actual unbiased information on locations in worlds. it hasn’t been updated in a few years but the gradualdime wiki is a good start for people who are only interested in exploration: https://gradualdime.fandom.com/wiki/Gradualdime_Wiki
i’m going to reupload a .pdf they made too so check back on this blog in a minute!
The state of worlds right now.
(psst I'm Lygeamaraa, I've been on for three years...if u see me, say hello)
i got a few messages asking to see more of my art, so here’s all or most of the worlds.com drawings i’ve done! 2011-2014. varying degrees of seriousness, and of several different worlds users. i’m particularly fond of the flowery nexialist with the green background. my art is nothing like this now lol
hello! yes, i am the one who drew that piece of art in 2011, and the one who left a comment on nexpo’s video taking credit for the drawing. i don’t want to share my new url because i do not want to risk harassment from strangers looking for more info on worlds.
the “hidden worlds” blog is filled with misinformation that is written to make the worlds community seem much more nefarious than it actually is. naughty bitz, the jimbly world once containing nude photos submitted by worlds users, was removed BECAUSE the person running ‘hidden worlds’ stalked and revealed the real life identity of a person who shared a photo there. the person who ran ‘hidden worlds’ had no problem endangering people for the sake of making up a ~Spooky Internet Story~ and it is entirely their fault that pieces of worlds.com history are gone forever.
the photos that were once in these worlds were submitted willingly by worlds.com regulars, as far as i know, and have nothing to do with any sort of “secret cult” or “elite group.” yes, it is weird to be actively collecting nudes from a site’s userbase! but it isn’t some deeper dark web conspiracy and they weren’t being used as blackmail material by a manipulative overlord--this is all speculation by a youtuber trying to perpetuate a Spooky Narrative for clicks and views. jimbly is just some horny old man. that’s it.
naughty bitz is gone, there is no way to get to it.
here is a transcript of the comment i left on nexpo’s video (a comment i believe has since been deleted but i am not sure):
oh hey! i drew the art that was used in the screenshot at 12:12. funnily enough the drawing and screenshot were actually of a user called eloquent, not nexialist. i drew it back in 2011. i appreciate that you shed some light on the effort to convince people that there is no worlds cult, but a lot of the information on the "hidden worlds" blog is biased towards fear-mongering and isn't very accurate. the "mug shots" were all submitted willingly by regulars of worlds, including the nude ones, and i don't think they are linked to any sort of "network" or social group aside from "people who have been hanging out on worlds for a while." the hallway of nude photos was taken down due to, i believe, the exact stalking of the submitter that was detailed in the video & the coverage of it on the hidden worlds blog. if it's any help to you, jimbly's servers went down some time in 2013 (if i remember correctly?) and because of that, many of the worlds hosted there are inaccessible and others are missing files.
EDIT: thanks for boosting my comment! i appreciate it. i'd just like to add a request to not harass any of the users named in the video, because similar harassment has caused pre-2010 regulars to stop using the service. people who used to keep the community alive, who helped make it such a strange & interesting place, who had been going on worlds since the 90s and early 2000s, have literally been driven off because of people accusing them of being in a "cult" or just straight-up tormenting them for fun. even people who didn't mind playing along with the "spooky" stuff have been harassed to the point of leaving. and as stated, it's why the nude photo world (known as Naughty Bitz) was removed in the first place. stalking users and harassing them will do nothing but make worlds.com a less fun & lively place.
there is no cult on worlds.com. there are only old regulars trying to have fun in peace, and people who are roleplaying as ghosts in the machine to scare others. if you’d like to learn more about worlds, from a less-biased source that actually has contributions from worlds users, look into gradualDIME’s worlds wiki.
by all means, go explore worlds and take a look at a very interesting piece of internet history! there are some truly beautiful sights to behold there. but don’t interrogate the users, don’t accuse them of being a part of something nefarious. if someone is creepy towards you it’s because they are roleplaying and want to get a rise out of you. if you tolerate their weird behavior maybe they’ll show you some cool areas or something! just be kind to each other and respect the fact that worlds, as a place, is more than just some creepypasta online. it is the chosen social network of many people who’ve been there for years.
this is not an ARG. these are real people. be kind.
