Bit of a controversial one actually..Not sure if it's debate topic worthy!
So I've just seen a discussion about Gaia Elitism on a GCD thread. What is your take on people's perception of hierachy on Gaia? Maybe it's a sore subject for you. Maybe...you think you're the ultimate hero and people bow down to your every whim. What do you classify yourself as? Does gold make the person? I think it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this!
Labels people are giving themselves in GCD:
Super-Prommies - Top of the Elite foodchain-
Prommies
Semi-Prommies
Reg
Unnoticed Poster
Lurker
New person -Bottom-
I personally haven't got a clue what some of the above ACTUALLY mean.Quote: I don't think Elitism is where the people are popular, but more so they are simply people so full of themselves that they act like pricks with their heads up their asses and tell themselves they are popular. Personally Ive seen a lot more people popular on here who are just generally nice then those with that "holier then thou" attitude.

I wouldn`t really know. I`m one of those annoying people who thread hops like hell in the CB.
I make some random comment, post about my quest, and point out mistakes all in one go. Then I`m gone.
Unless it`s quite funny. Then I hang about for a few more posts.

Vintaged I haven't got a clue was hoping someone could enlighten me on that old chestnut. 0.0 A pre-madonna, I suppose. Someone who thinks they are better than someone. Just a fun way of saying elitist.

Yep. Whee.
XD, anyway, from my experience, older members on Gaia tend to think of themselves better than newer members. Like a lot of 03ers and 04ers (not saying all of them, just a lot) tend to gripe about how Gaia is now. About how all the new members that ruined it.
I'm offically an 04er (another account) and I'm not usually like that. I mean, Gaia had its share of n00bs and problems back in the day too, it just wasn't as, shall we say, amplified as it is now, since there were far fewer members then.
Well, what can you do? XD

'You were in my dreams...'
Like the saying goes, 'To everyone their own'.
If I were to label myself, it would be something along the line of: That guy. Or something more mysterious; The silhouette. A shrouded character with a hidden background.
I don't feel at all special or superior to others, but I do like to think of myself as more of an intellectual, a person with common sense who knows right from wrong and when to quit, which is rather scarce in this world of Gaia.
If someone can make that into a word, if it is not already a word, I'd like to hear it.
'...Half human, half machine...'

It's quite annoying. Damn peoples. XD Honestly, I like Gaia better the way it is now (minus the spiral downward that's the the GD). I mean, tons more features (no guilds the way the are, no profiles, no subsribed threads!) and more people to talk to. xp
