'You were in my dreams...'


I could see how having a rare item from 2003 or 2004 can give someone a sense of superiority, and it does. The problem is that certain '03ers or 04ers' are the same type of people that we see, hear and complain about every day for harassment and straight-up assholeness. They're the type to use their pixelated items as secret weapons to boost their morale in an argument or 'innernetz faight'. It's stupid, really, when you take what they could be arguing about into consideration. This can be discrimination against race or any other serious matter that normally we as a society fight against, punishable by law.

But...they have a demon pitch fork! And they're on the interweb. They must be right! I kid...
People shouldn't take people at face value. An valid opinion should always be respected even if someones avatar doesn't look hardcore.
It doesn't mean that person doesn't deserve respect and has a worthless opinion. biggrin

Whats a prommie? Xp


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.

Thanks. :3

Mrr. I joined Gaia in late 2003 but by no means do I think I am any better than anybody else on this site. Yes, I occasionally complain about how I miss the old Gaia. It used to be simpler.. it was a good forum and I liked the customizable avatars.. I like a lot of the newer features but some of them I find pretty pointless. When you've been waiting for a shiney new battle system for so long and they throw CARS at you.. it gets a little annoying. Haha. But again, I don't think I'm better than anyone else because I was around for go-gaia.com. I've actually gone into a thread my friends used to regular in and our RP had branched from theirs and they all ignored me or just acted like total dicks. It's pretty stupid. The biggest thing that bugs me now though is when newer members whine and beg and say they NEEEDD the gold so they can get their beloved Kiki or whatever they're questing for. Nobody NEEDS the gold, work for it, accept donations sure but don't whine about it. That's the part about some of the newer members that bothers me the most.

[end rant]

Would prommie possibly stand for prominent? As in wealthy or having a higher social status than the rest?

Very much likely that it could be!

...semi-prommie? *dies* I'm KINDA a prommie, but not really, so I'm a semi-prommie. =D

I'd be a lurker in the GCD.

But I -hateeee- elitists. The kind of people that act like they are SO much better than you, and that cuss out newbies for being in *THEIR* forum...that makes me mad.
Although sometimes some of them do need to be yelled at...

Sometimes I am tempted to 'show off' how much gold I have atm. Is that bad? )=

um...hierarchy *points at the typo in your 1st post. *hides*

Quote:
Elitism is the belief or attitude that those individuals who are considered members of the elite — a select group of people with outstanding personal abilities, intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes — are those whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight; whose views and/or actions are mostly likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities or wisdom render them especially fit to govern. Alternatively, the term elitism may be used to describe a situation in which power is concentrated in the hands of the elite.

That came from that hawt secks wiki.
I personally have no real opinion on the matter. In all honesty I don't see people on gaia as being worthy of respect until i've actually had a conversation with them, and even then I sometimes find it hard to respect them.
I've never seen myself as elite, just too good to respect pixelz with fancy items.

PuPu: Yeah I joined in November of '03.. XD And there was also a period of time where I completely ignored Gaia for a little while. Got bored and the group I RP'd with fell apart.

I am sorta prommie but not really. I've been on for 3-4 years and I have like 2-3mil in gold and items.. My inventory isn't really all that amazing though.. I'm bad at making good avatars. >_>

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 so do.
