📣 Introduce yourself here so we can welcome you!

[John Columbo]

I don't think anything will change, but I want to go on record as saying I'm not happy with the direction Gaia is taking.

Anyway, I'm John. I'm a forum lurker and occasional poster, and I enjoy playing zOMG too.
Can't remember when I joined, but I took a hiatus around the time of the 2009 Gaia Prom and came back April 2012.
Been lurking around ever since.

★ My name is Chidori, an '08 member, and yet another Gaian completely unsatisfied with the direction Gaia is headed. The constant sales and strong push for GC is very concerning, and there is no such thing as :casual" on here anymore. I'm very happy to see other people care about our community, so consider me a strong support of how our home should be!

" Target acquired. "

»»» I have been a member of Gaia since 2004. This is not my first account, rather a second account made to get away from the drama tied to my first account. I have been an active supporter of Gaia for many years, and back before 2011 I was a frequent buyer of Gaia Cash and cash items.

As someone who has been here for nine years, I can officially say it pains me to see what this site has become. And I would love to see it restored to the way it used to be, so I will do anything I can to help. I am glad to see that there are other users who are sad to see what Gaia has become.

I frequent the Site Feedback and Gaia Community Discussion forums, though I do not consider myself a regular of either. I lurk a lot, and I tend to give up on some of the posts I type out because I am shy.

" Shutting down. "

Pleased to meet you on site as well.

Hi my name is Kio. I've been on gaia since the mid 2000s. I have never bought cash because I am a broke a** college kid but I have been slowly building up my account over the years.

the ennui has been slowly building too. HoC made me more active on this site than I had been in years but now that thats gone...

my list of reasons to stay is getting very short.

We are here, do not worry, we are either gonna fix this problem or we'll probably die trying.

I'm T0ki3 D0ki3 0ki3 D0ki3, T0ki3 for short! I've been a Gaia member since 2004 and I am worried of how Gaia has changed. It is a tad frightening, but it seems Gaia is now revolved around Gaia cash. It is a very controversial predicament indeed. I must say I am glad that Gaia is still flourishing with a life, but one it is obviously struggling to maintain. Thus, I have decided instead of leaving that I will join the fight against the cause that created such a situation: Gaia Cash. If Gaia could return to its better days when it did not revolve around Gaia Cash, I would be more than grateful. With the present condition gaia is in, I do not believe it will be around in the future...

Either way, I'll help out as much as possible! biggrin

[Anja Sedai]

Hey, I'm Anja. Been on Gaia since late 'o4 and have been on pretty constantly. I lurk and occasionally post in the GCD and the Books forums. I used to donate occasionally to Gaia, but now I'm so put off that I've stopped spending any cash here. There are other ways I can spend my money where I feel more appreciated as a customer.

Lately I've been frustrated with not only the aggressive and overwhelming push of Gaia Cash, but also the treatment of site features. If things don't make money they end up forgotten or trashed even if they contribute to the overall enjoyment and functioning of the site. Gaia seems to not care about the community anymore. At least not the parts of the community that can't make it shitloads of money.

I still love this site and much of its staff and really don't want to see it fail.

People who've been around far longer than I have been are always interesting, no lies or jokes.
Have you ever role-played before? ^_^

We are pleased to see you on board, actually.
Great to see you in the campaign, Anja Sedai.
Sadly this isn't a matter we can't just simply Balefire though, isn't it? emo
If that were the case, I'd go with a fusion of a Potter-world Avada Kedavra(Killing Curse) and a dot hack-verse Data Drain and see if that works.

Hey John, nice to meet you! I'm Fate.. I'm a fellow ZomGer (on my old account Neshira Namea Returns). We're glad you came back to gaia, and sorry that this is what it's come to.

I know hope is low but believe me when I say we will not go unheard.

While you're here take a moment to familiarize yourself with our Guild Rules. We've got contests and events up, freebies, charities, and many different forms of protest. <3 We hope you enjoy our guild and thank you so much for helping by being a part of Revolution: Gaia.

Hey Anja! I definitely feel you on the treatment of site features. Some of my favourite things about Gaia are laying forgotten because they don't generate revenue. Zomg for example had years of hype behind it and has had absolutely no updates since it's not a big money maker.

Thanks so much for joining our guild and contributing your voice and support to the cause of saving a site we all love. Please stop by and take a look at our Guild Rules and then feel free to jump into anything you want. Our guild has lots to offer!
