Muaethia Seems to me, this new layout would appeal more to younger children. Is gaia really turning into something like 'neopets'? This may sound slightly extreme, but the 'tour' sounded very patronising to me. Perhaps it's just newb-friendly. The talk of 'playing games' and 'dressing up your avatar' is a key part of gaia, as we all know, but this sort of thing really will attract a younger audience.
Gaia is supposed to be PG-13, though i've seen several threads which do borderline this, and a lot even at PG-13 which wouldn't be sutiable for a younger audience (talking about 10 + 11 year old's here). We really don't want gaia to have to introduce a swearing/content ban (i.e. being warned for saying a word like 'p***s' or 's**t' in the forums). Alot of the people who do the border line PG 13 stuff are younger though :0 It's so widespread on gaia that I don't think they could ever try to warn for that. They've already said you can't report for cussing, but you can use a filter. I think they just wanted to give it a cleaner look. And if all the n00bs highly esteemed individuals in site feedback with brilliant opinions can be trusted, it's not easier to use. I don't know why they did the kids in the logo. I guess it's to make it feel more.. welcoming or some s**t, but I think it'd be cool with NPC's. As far as games and dress up goes, well, I'm kind of glad they do features for profiles and guilds and stuff now. Before this update the intro thing they had pushed games and customizing too. The part of the tour that's s**t to me is having to click around and check off the activities to get the gold. >.o That's really making me feel like an idiot 10 year old. And it's like 50 gold! What the ******** is that. They might as well not do the gold and just give you the list of activities to check out. You get a mega set of clothes now anyways.
