Hello weary travelers, and welcome to to the POPTart by Bony Bones! I stopped updating this site a few years ago because life got too busy, but I wanted to say a formal farewell.
I began playing Poptropica back when it released in 2007, competing with my first-grade classmates to complete what is now known as Early Poptropica. I never knew how much I would come to enjoy this game, and I miss what it used to be. I still check on my old account a few times a year, but I miss many of the classic islands. I want to return to the treacherous waters of Skullduggery Island, the star-speckled solar system of Astro Knights, the strange but also really cool dreams of Poptropica’s greatest villains on Super Villain….
That being said, I do appreciate how the Creators are keeping the game alive. I love how they share fan art on the blog and add player-made costumes into the game: it shows that they truly care about their fan base. Also, though the process is slow, I do believe them that they are working to port all of the old islands into Haxe. I’m excited for the upcoming Steam bundle, and I can’t wait for the day that every island is back on the map.
Though I look forward to the future of Poptropica, I’m uncertain about the POPTart. Currently, I have no plans to update it, but I may return if I find myself with an abundance of free time and a renewed passion for the game.
As this site begins to gather dust, I want to say “thanks” to it for getting me started. Though I have had limited viewership and sparse content, it is something. Writing something, whether it’s a random blog post or a spontaneous poem or a senior thesis or dissertation, is super important. Writing allows us to pour out our thoughts and gives us a space to mold them into whatever we are trying to say. Here, I poured out my passion for my favorite childhood website, and I molded it into this site. Though it’s not much, it’s mine.
Thank you, POPTart, and Poptropica, and all of the Poptropica community. I won’t forget you as I begin (and hopefully maintain) a new project.
To my very few viewers, thank you, as well. It means a lot. I wish you the best in all of your endeavors.
And thanks to God for watching over me, and for being faithful even when I turn away. I’m glad that I can always count on You.
See ya, everyone! I hope you go enjoy some PopTarts. 🙂
