Whoa, 13 years? Holy crap!! Huh, no wonder I see so many dead accounts and forums floating around when I log on here. I don't get why the staff doesn't do anything about it though. Clean them up or delete them so they don't have a big database of dead accounts clogging the site up and making it confusing for newer players.

Anyway, I've been a reg of some other forums outside of Gaia for some years and people seem to forget that Gaia is a forum first, avi/hosting site for games second. Typically things are going to get slow in the fall to winter. It gets slow in the summer. It gets slow when people are moving on from high school to college or are trying to graduate high school or college and are moving with their lives. Getting married, having kids etc.
That's just the nature of things. What I have witnessed is the great forum collapse of 2004. Several forums in the anime community closed down because of loss of interest by the webmasters and other things. Several of them were my home. Gaia's been around for what 12-13 years? That's actually amazing and quite frankly unheard of anymore. The average forum only lasts about a few years really. ❞
❝ They've stated in the past that they can't because people do eventually do come back to their accounts and it would be unfair to them to have their s**t gone. Not only that but something with the servers not being able to keep up with it or something.
Not to mention that Gaia isn't the powerhouse that people perceive it to be. Despite the amount of announcements and money they generate, it's a small company run by a small amount of staff and extremely small amount of mods who mind you are volunteers. There's more users on this site than there is staff and mods.
Edit: Also it's a forum first not a game. It's a hosting site for multiple games however we are not playing Gaia so much as posting on Gaia. We're posters. ❞
Also, How do you determine inactive? few months, a month, few weeks, a week, or a day? Some people just aren't on every day.
❝ A couple months to a couple years. Some people go on a couple year hiatus, like me LOL. But by then I've forgotten all my info and make a new account lmao. ❞
I was here like 4 years ago and went on a hiatus. Luckily I remembered my info. I have like, 4 or 5 accounts on this site now. 2 of them I had when I was a little kid of about 10 or 11, I barely use them anymore and still know the passwords (IDK how really) and I think one got hacked and I can't get it back. I have too many Ghost accounts and they must be destroyed!!! LOL.

I can't go to a mod and ask them to delete an account that I can't access. That's basically the same thing as me asking them to delete the user TheMagicalAcidTrip.
came back after a while to check, really missing the old gaia (mostly the friends who left)

I barely ever go on here anymore. Than again i'm like that with a lot of forum eske websites nowadays. Can't find any that are alive and interesting enough to keep my interests, ya know??

Most everyone seems to have migrated to the mega boards like Reddit, fell into all that social media exhibitionisty reposty chain letter stuff, got sucked into mobile chat apps, latched onto the youtube ship and now mostly just glue them selves to their chairs watching or making livestream watch me draw this watch me play that ditties

I have a few friends here. It's a nice place. It's not like when I was 14 and felt passion for Gaia, but it's nice enough to stay even though it's more dead.

It's nice to have a guild or two or even just a nice long lasting active thread in the forums :3

So they'll just be hanging around,whether used or not.

Well, if anyone's interested, i've been fairly active on a website called Quotev, (active enough to get one account banned, LOL) Anyway, if anyone's interested in joining me there, i'll be on this account here: https://www.quotev.com/TrippySama Or this next one if I get banned on the one above:] https://www.quotev.com/Acidicacid
I got banned off both Quotev accounts. It's a long story... but i'm back here I guess. I've also been checking some Gaia clones like Recolor.me and whatnot. Blah.
