Welcome to Gaia! ::

There are a bunch of them out there, a good chunk of them were made by early Gaia dev staff ... most of us were purged in 04 and were working on similar projects and concepts before ever getting involved in gaia so it was just the logical thing to happen.. so many of them were criticized for copying gaia and its concepts so they just never got as much positive attention.. which is silly... how can somone rip themselves off? durdurrr duurrr.... anywho the ones created by people who were just dissatisfied with gaia are much more similar to 05-06 gaia.

it's all commercial now
and it used to have more anime content
and even a lovers hookup! heart

so yeah it is quite predictable now

besides, some of us just got older, so prolly we got duller too?

I joined 12 years ago, which makes me not young any more

There's nothing interesting to do online anymore. It sucks.

Hello everyone!!! Anything interesting going on here??? I'm gonna try getting back into this site YET AGAIN if I can find any interesting activity to neander in.

You can try Lake Kindred (it's actually really fun!!) or roleplaying (though that isn't so popular on here anymore I don't think). You can always try competing in runway, and people are more than happy to give some pointers for it if you'd like them (I have plenty since I compete at least once a week)! Other than that, yeah. There isn't much at all to do anymore sadly...

I never really did get into the games section of Gaia. I joined somewhere around 05 or so, then lost my internet access in 08, and didn't get it back until sometime around August 16'. After 8 years of Hiatus, I find Gaia has a lot more crap content, and fewer people on the forums. Me and Kelina have been desperately trying to revive our old rps from back in the day, and actually managed to get one going again, but then I lost internet again. Somehow, when Bright House was taken over by Spectrum, my automatic payments stopped going through, and I accumulated thee months of charges before I even knew there was a problem. It took me 2 weeks to scrounge up the money to pay the bill, during which time the one rp we had going promptly died again.

Actually, I think Gaia's biggest drawback is the PG-13 limit. A lot of roleplayers I know, or knew, liked to push the limits a bit in their roleplaying. They either got banned, or simply left to find other rping sites that would allow more adult content. Possibly both. As long as all of Gaia is PG-13, I don't see it ever getting back to the levels of activity it once had. What Gaia needs is an "Adult Section" where only people who are legal adults, as per the birthdate I believe you have to give when you sign up, can go for R rated rps. I haven't had to sign up for a new account in a while, but I think you have to be at least 13 in order to join, hence the PG-13 limit. Unfortunately, I see NO signs that Gaia is moving in that direction, so we're basically stuck with a kiddie site. sad

Well if you want a more adult Gaia Online pop onto Recolor.me. I don't use it much, but there's a lot more mature things going on there............ lots of it........

zOMG is coming back, and I know that was a real drawback for folks. Hopefully this brings them back....
