Alright, so I was in the GCD, typing up a reply to a thread as usual, only for the thread to have, well, disappeared/deleted/whatever on me... For arguments sake, and to honour the thread creator Hi-Potion*, let's call it the GUMI thread cat_3nodding

I understand Gaia is trying to keep "leaks" under wraps (in the most a**l retentive manner too), but...

...the OP stated we had the right to speculate about a Generic-User-Made-Item Shop... So... after looking through the first page, it look'd like everyone was on task with that too...

So, I decided to type of up a post, which would have look'd like this:

Quote:
User Image

But to what extent is this GUMI going to actually be user-made? cat_rolleyes
I mean, is this shop only going to be updated when, and if, there is a item design contest? cat_eek
Will the current user-made items in the Gold Shops be moved to the GUMI? cat_neutral
What exactly is the definition of "user-made" we're working with? cat_rolleyes

Overall, I'm a bit concerned by the lack of clarity with regard to how "user-made" the shop truly will be, since, as someone with a lot of experience with UG content games (Second Life, IMVU, Planet Calypso, etc), I'm rather curious to what extent Gaia is really willing to move in that direction AND, given that enormous list of desired items in the SF, what kind of impact can we expect this to have on what we get for Gold Shop updates? cat_eek


Regardless of my reply (which I'm pretty sure did not even make it to the thread)... It dawned upon me that this is the SECOND time Gaia did this to me now (because I saw, and was in the middle of typing my reply for, the original leak thread too when it died) cat_stressed

So... I'm kind of pissed that we, the GCD, isn't being allowed to "discuss" certain things because of a MISTAKE made on Gaia's part (we didn't leak the info, yet threads are getting deleted!) cat_stressed

gaia_spoons 's can be summed up as reactions, thoughts, opinions, etc, on this matter...

*I'm not very comfortable with name-dropping of any sort, but enough people know about the thread I'm speaking of that its safe to say who created the thread being discussed cat_redface

While I enjoy leaks, they are against the ToS, so, it's kind of like, ehhh....

See, I can understand that, but this was one of the "speculating" about a "possibility" thread not a thread discussing what was leak'd (nor was the thread about the issue of "leaks" either) cat_sad

In fact, Gaians seemed to be suggesting things like what they wanted to see in such a shop or how Stein would make a great NPC to run such a shop... It was just your basic GCD speculation-is-wishful-thinking type thread that we see all the time...

...So, I don't see how that could violate the ToS, right? cat_neutral

I'm confused because I've read several people saying this shop was mentioned at a con.

If it was mentioned at a con then we have every reason to discuss it. It has been made public knowledge to a group of users and said users have reported it back to the forums of Gaia.

Why was thread deleted ?

Edit: I also read the first post and I thought Hi-Potion said that she asked a certain 'Uncle' if would be ok to post said thread and he said it was. :'X I really wish Gaia would stop being so disconnected.

Ja, see... That's what I found confusing too... I mean, not only was there permission, but the thread itself was rather harmless, as most speculation threads typically are... So... I have no idea why deletion occurred cat_emo

i think it might've been cause the thread in question linked to the leaked items directly and they dont wanna keep the shop on the dl so much as the items themselves??? idk makes no sense either

Agreed... It is quite irking cat_stare

...Oh, hey, since you were posting in the thread too... Do you recall if anything even remotely leak-ish occurred? I only read over the first page, but it seemed very speculative, but there was a second page already when I began typing my post so... cat_sad

Wait, you mean someone actually posted a link to those 34 invisible items (well, they're invisible in the MP, anyways) in the GUMI thread? cat_eek

I didn't witness the leak... but not really? No one linked to anything or posted screen shots.

I posted there, and nobody posted anything from the leak (-_- A part of me wishes they did, because I missed it!). BUT! There was this one thread where a guy posted up a supposed link about the supposed new shop, but it turned out to be a link to the Trolololololol Guy! XD

See that is what I thought, yet Gaia still canned the thread cat_sad
Oh well, I pretty sure once the shop-that-nobody-is-supposed-to-know-about is released, we'll be able to finally just go town with the speculating (as is to be expected of the GCD) cat_rolleyes

LOL, that would have been fun to see... cat_xd ...But... On one hand, I hardly think that would justify canning the thread, while, on the other hand, I would feel better had someone actually post'd genuine leak'd material, because that would give some closure as to why the thread was canned cat_stare

Still, either way, I just really wanted to speculate about UG content on Gaia cat_emo
