It's rather depressing really. But when no one cares in the forums what is said, and guild leaders actually watch out for stuff then I can see how people stay away from them.

Yeah very true.
I'm just glad i have nothing tying me down to that place anymore. It just got so bad after 2006.

I thought it was still okay in 2006, even 2007 was pretty decent. Then again I joined in 2006 and pretty much hid in Cherish the whole time. xD The forums are scary over there. :ninja:
I keep going back because after 4 years of posting, and working of my stuff I don't want to just let it sit there. And I don't feel like giving the stuff away to people.

2005 was the best year by far. After that it started getting crowded with n00bs and then hackers and scammers became more and more in 2007 +

Yeah i've given my inventory away a few times, the last time i kinda went on an hiatus i just let it sit there.

It's gotten really ridiculous over there. Hence I only ever go over to post on random RP's that magpie and I find. I can't deal with stupid noobs anymore.

Spiffy avi by the way.

Why thank you :D
I like those jelly beans in your siggy :P

Yeah tell me about it i only ever visit art threads and the casinos.

@ Jannie : That's sad though! :'< Since you said that, I'm not sure I want to particularly go back to Gaia now. xDD;; Only the prospect of art will lure me back there. ^^;;

Also, I normally hang out in the Quests and in the Avatar Chat. And then I lurk and sometimes post elsewhere. XP <3<3


@ Chi : Hey, I joined in 2006, and it wasn't bad yet then. xDD;;

@Roachi: Thank you. =) I thought my sigie needed some color.

@Lhannie: You're a lurker? *dramatic gasp* Noooo. That can't be right. I never took you for the lurking kind.

I lurk a lot. xDD;;
It started when I got too busy to post regularly. So I just checked some of my more frequented threads instead. ^^;;
That went on for months because I was regularly busy. xDD;;

Oh! And I lurk in the Exchange for people wanting to buy/trade with stuff I have, since I have no Exchange thread. 8DD;;

@Nae - Well then more so 2007 lol
@Jelly - I wanna eat em @@

Fine then, deal. xDD;; <3<3
Although... I guess I was sort of oblivious to other parts of Gaia back then though because I was safe in Cherish and in the Request and Commissions forum. ^^;;

Lol.
Yes very true. I think i started out in the CB though, doin avi contests. Then shortly after was cherish.
And pretty much lived in cherish cause we had everything there lol.

You know me. I lived in Cherish practically the whole time as well. xDD;; <3<3
Damn, I miss the old days. :'< <3<3

Lol yeah.
Totally ... i think Jannie still has like a heap load of items on cherish too lol.
Back in the days when it use to be hard to get just basic items. Nowadays you get them given to you on signup.

True. :x
Well, actually, I was a Basic Starter Set baby. xDD;;
But things definitely weren't as expensive then. o_o;;

Well lucky you. All i got was a rag dress xDD

You turned out very well on Gaia regardless though. XP <3<3

Yeah i suppose. If i hada kept all my stuff i'd be mega rich by now :P

You spent it on lovely artsies though? :3 <3<3
And donated to lots of people. :'D <3<3
So they didn't go to waste now, right? >;P

Well some of those people didn't deserve it. Buttt i don't regret it. I can't imagine having all that nice stuff and not sharing it around a bit ... Be totally pointless.

That's the good thing about donating though, right? ^^ <3<3

Yeah... i guess.

At least you don't regret it though, right? :3 <3<3

No not at all. It's not my fault some people are greedy selfish bastards lol. I did my part :)

I guess that's why I tend to me more careful when I do donate. ^^;;
I'm scared of people not appreciating it. :'<
I mean, I don't expect them to praise the land I walk on or whatever, but I do want to know that they'll be using it and stuff. XP

I guess I got traumatized here on Mene, when I donated an EI set and then the next day the girl forgot who I was. o_o;; Yup, here on Mene. xDD;; I don't really blame her, but I won't lie and say that it didn't hurt when she didn't even recognize me or acknowledge me. xDD;;
