TOPIC | Opinions on Finding Abandoned Lairs

I agree, I just find them kinda strange, almost like I stumbled upon something I shouldn't be seeing. Like when you see a completely empty amusement park something just feels wrong? I don't know how to describe it any other way. The closest thing I can relate it to is Liminal Spaces. (A transitional space that has been abandoned, like the creepypasta [url=https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/The_Backrooms] The Backrooms[/url])
I guess I also do have a bit of remorse because I have an old lair that all my dragons are sitting around in. The password to that account is long gone so I can never go back to those dragons that I spent a good portion of my young childhood with.
Mostly I don't really care but sometimes it is kinda strange to run into abandoned accounts.

Ohhhh, that photo just gave me a really spooky feeling! I've never heard of liminal spaces before, but after googling the definition, it certainly describes exactly how I felt, haha.
I've never looked at abandoned lairs in any particular way before, but I'm probably going to remember this now every time I see one. ;D

To me it does feel like a liminal space, a snapshot in time. Not abandoned per se, but on pause. Like a Minecraft wold from three years ago. Time has passed, but at the same time has not. They could come back tomorrow, next week, or never. Man, shifting through inactive accounts is like archaeology; absolutely fascinating, surreal, and a bit wistful.

It only bothers me if I know the account owner died as the reason of abandonment.
Otherwise it's not something I get fussed over.

@CorporealBeing mhmm, I do know what liminal spaces are, i just don't get that feeling from inactive accounts.
Though i suppose if you look at it as temporal liminality, a strange sort of time travel like watching an old film where you just know all the actors are dead, it tracks, especially the older lairs before certain genes/breeds were introduced. I still don't feel that way, but i can understand why someone might feel that way.

Infuriating; when you find the perfect dragon for a certain project but it’s in a dead lair.

sad but super sad when they have really expensive dragons
It pained me to see a lair with my dream color 5 digit g1 in an abandoned lair

One of my friended accounts is my girlfriend who passed away. I don't think of it as an abandoned lair so much as a gallery of what she enjoyed while she was here. They aren't unfed dragons, they're statues of the colors and genes and critters she liked.

it’s very surreal. it reminds me of buying a used book and finding notes in it, it’s weird to know that someone was there but isn’t anymore, and it’s been untouched by time. it’s kinda creepy.
