The more I see people turned away from Gaia Interactive as a company, the more I have suspicions that their efforts for the 18+ are going to be a catastrophic flop.
They might use some of the revenue for advertising on other sites, but the majority of the userbase expected for this new site will most likely be Gaians. But will Gaians go? I'm sure a few will, out of curiosity. But a quite large amount of users who have stuck with this site are being burned by the company's decisions, and swearing off everything except the main site of Gaia, itself, because of nostalgic attachment and the effort they've put on. As well as everything being shut down due to laying off coders and such, like zOMG and several of the games.
They will, however, have no such attachment to this new site. There won't be years' worth of friendships and item gaining and participation giving them a reason to stay. And, with the way people are closing their wallets left and right, I don't see many people paying for the new site.
So I'm not very hopeful on the outlook of this new site, nor the money that they are probably trying to siphon from the users at the cost of customer loyalty to fund it. I think it's going to be a giant waste of time and money.

I agree with you. I guess even those who still defend the current leadership of this MMOG will fall back. And, AFAIK, all this hassle due to this adult site or whatever they're doing is NOT being worth anything.
If this site be created, the reaction from some people will be kinda similar to what's happened with a certain former Disney singer we know, who went from this to something totally different:
LOL This picture always cracks me up. xd I found it in a sig of the "Occupy, Gaia" thread.

Quank I hope it flops really hard. Then they'll realize they should have been satisfied with what they had with us. They dun went and stuck their hand in every cookie jar and tried to pull out their fist, but they can't pull out all the cookies they want. They keep trying because they want ALL the cookies and will keep trying until their hand falls off or the jar breaks. We are the jar. scream Does that even make sense to anyone else?!
makes perfect sense to me gaia I hope it flops and this site flops they had a epic supportive community and abused the bejesus out of us I really want them to fail so hard that other sites look and say gawd damned thats not how to do it.

Yes, but I'm still stuck on Miley Cyrus' shift from Party in the USA to nakeyness and the parallel with Gaia Online.
Okay, the song is over, I can think now.
