New! <3
 
Hello! I saw this site advertisement on facebook and decided to join! <3

I am an older gaia member (2005) who has lost all hope for gaia, which is being ruled over by n00bs and get rich quick people who can afford to spend their real money on gaia. I can't. ): Plus, its not even safe there anymore for older users. Most of the newer people try to get us banned for no reason, which makes me sad because I earned all of my items the hard way. :cry:

So, I am here in hopes of experiencing the old version of gaia and I want to belong to a fun social networking site again. :yumeh2:

Plus the avatar customizing options are awesome. o3o;;;

Anyone into anime/video games!? XD

Rusalka 03-04-2010 11:14 PM

I'm into anime myself.

Your reason is the reason I quit Gaia myself, and in time a while later I found Menewsha as it started. I recently tried to return and found my account banned, and I'd been gone for years. I tried to find out for curiosity sake and they wouldn't even get back to me. :lol:

Welcome to Menewsha, I can assure you we're much different community wise. The rules are well enforced and everyone's friendly.

Jethren 03-04-2010 11:17 PM

Into anime and videogames? But of course!

I too am an veteran of Gaiaonline, also from 2005. Believe me, I know exactly what you mean. I followed one of my fellow oldbie friends here, and I most certainly have not regretted the decision. So, welcome to Menewsha. Trust me, you aren't the only one who compare this site to Gaia in its heyday. Me, I never got over when they removed Gaia's designation as an "anime roleplaying" site. So, I rather suspect that you're going to like it here.

Takumi_Amari 03-04-2010 11:50 PM

To Rusalka: Your account was banned and you weren't on? o.o Argh. D:< Gaia fail. ><; Yeah, I had a lot of older friends and one of them did the whole exchange thing to get her gold. Unfortunately, she never checked the items she got for cheap because she had been selling for years. This lead to her being banned because apparently she sold an item that wasn't real, without realizing it. I told the admins in person what had happened and they shrugged it off.

Recently the admins have been too mean as well. Like, I'd go to fanime con and say hi to them, go to their panels, go to the parties,etc. In the past they were more friendly. Now they just ignore you and the events at the con have become less personal each year. It saddens me.

Anyways..... :3 What kind of anime and video games do you guys like? ^-^

My anime favorites are: Hellsing, Junjou Romantica, Ouran High School Host Club, Kuroshitsuji, Naruto, Bleach, Trigun, Outlaw Star, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Paranoia Agent, FLCL, Full Metal Alchemist, D. Gray-Man, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Shamploo, Hetalia, Ghost in the Shell, Azumanga Daioh, Avatar (I think the series is technically an anime. o.o; ), Vampire Knight, Gravitation, and many more I can't think of or remember the names too. ><;

My favorite video games: FF7, FF10, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, .hack//G.U. vol. 1-3, Silent Hill series, Prototype, Kingdom Hearts series, FF Crystal Bearers, Pokemon: Silver to Platinum (getting soul silver next week! ~ ), Castlevania series, Deadspace (the more recent one), FF Crisis Core, FF Dissidia, Jack and Daxter series, Devil May Cry series, Spore, Sims 2, Soul Calibur, Naruto Storm, Naruto Shipuuden Clash of Ninja Revolution 3, The World Ends with You, Ninja Gaiden, and more. :3 I like all types, but I generally stick to jrpgs. ^-^;;

----------

To Jethren: Thanks for welcoming me. ^-^; When did they remove that description? I can't remember, maybe cause I don't go on too often...but I did notice how they leaned away from it. I thought the changes were good at the beginning because I wanted the MMO, and cooler items, but then it all got out of hand. The inflation is really bad too. You can't post there either, so all I do is change how my avatar looks and then log off. >>;

Well, at least we got to enjoy Gaia while it was still good? ^-^;;;;; ><;;;

Any advice when it comes to using this site? :3

----------

To Rusalka: Your signature is so cute! Where did you get them? <3

Jethren 03-05-2010 12:20 AM

Well, my biggest advice? Post a lot. Be active. Here the gold is determined by how much you have to say, and there's no lurker gold. Also, play the games. They earn gold (to a 500g cap, so you still have to use the forums), and they're really fun.

As for favorite anime...I dunno. It's hard to pick one. FLCL was awesome, I love most that I watch though. I guess I just like the ones with humor and maybe a bit of action...which is most anime. ^^ I don't like it when they're overly stupid (like Bo-Bo-Bo), but there aren't many I don't like.

In games...I'm kinda the same way. My favorites, though, are RPGs. Again, a lot of what you listed I can say "Me too!" A few others would be Skies of Arcadia, Ephemeral Phantasia, Persona 4, FF6/8/9/etc..., Legend of Mana, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

Takumi_Amari 03-05-2010 12:23 AM

I've heard a lot of good things about Persona 4. ^-^; Yeah, I generally don't watch the more silly animes. I do watch funny ones, but they aren't as ridiculous. :3

Jethren 03-05-2010 12:41 AM

There is one truly ridiculous anime that I watch, and that's Gurren Laggen...which I may have misspelled. Somehow, even though that one is absurdly over-the-top, it works. It's just serious enough to be taken seriously, but the fights they go overboard...which works better than if they did not, with how strong they're supposed to be. Unlike DBZ where the far-more-powerful characters seem never to do much more than the weaker ones.


Persona 4...it's great. The characters, for me at least, were really engaging. I actually find myself caring about my in-game friends...it makes the Bad Ending really sting though.

Takumi_Amari 03-05-2010 12:46 AM

I love Gurren Laggen! <3 I haven't been able to finish watching it though. I started reading the manga when it came out and I watched a couple of episodes. After school gets out I am planning on watching it all the way through.

What console is Persona 4 on?

Jethren 03-05-2010 12:54 AM

I have Persona 4 on PS2. I don't think it's on any other console. It's actually pretty old school in a lot of ways, but it make up for that with awesomeness. There's something quite satisfying about stunning all the enemies in a battle and then having your whole party bum-rush them for the win (and I mean that, if you stun all the enemies, your party will all attack at once in a big dog-pile type brawl).

Takumi_Amari 03-05-2010 12:57 AM

Nice! It sounds like fun. ^-^ I'll see if I can find it somewhere for cheap when I go home for break.

I get that feeling when I use Mega Flare in Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. Everything, gone, in one awesome blow. 8D

Jethren 03-05-2010 01:05 AM

Oh wow! I've never met another person who liked Re:CoM before. I had the original Chain of Memories on Gameboy Advance and played through the whole thing. I have to confess, though, that knowing the story has made me lazy about playing through "Re".

Takumi_Amari 03-05-2010 01:14 AM

I LOVE Re: CoM! I got my roommate into it too. <3 I was level 81 when I finished it. oAo I have been so obsessed with beating it thoroughly this time around because I didn't do so in the game boy advanced version. .-. I think its better then the original. :3 Better graphics, voice actors, game play is better, etc. <3 And its on my favorite console.

Jethren 03-05-2010 01:21 AM

Well, my favorite console is the Dreamcast, but I suppose that PS2 comes in a close second. xD If there's one console I can't stand, though, it would have to be the DSi. Ever used the internet on that? Or, I should say "Tried to use the internet." It just doesn't work! They added a bunch of features that either aren't as fun or don't work, and they removed the backwards compatibility. I just can't stand it.

Takumi_Amari 03-05-2010 09:17 PM

lol I mainly use my PS2, which I am in love with. I don't have a DSi, just a DS lite, but my sister does. The internet isn't that great, but I like some of the features. The photo editing is fun. It does suck that it isn't backwards compatible. It sucks that the PS3 isn't either. >: ( I do plan on getting on eventually if only for Final Fantasy vs. 13. I really want that game so bad. >< My two favorite square enix teams worked on it. D: So it must be amazing.~ I got a xBox 360 and I do love it. I also love how its more awesome then the PS3 and all the PS3 games are on it too. :'D It saves me money. :X I want a WII though. ;A; My sister has one, but I'm at college and when I'm home she doesn't share. ;3; I also have an old PSP that's a great portable dvd player.

Do you likes Pokemon? I can't wait for the new Soul Silver. just one more week of waiting! D : >

Parasitic Panda 03-05-2010 09:27 PM

Hello Takumi_Amari! Glad you found your way over here, the people are really wonderful and I agree about wanting to be apart of a fun socializing network. I am into anime myself, what series have you watched, or are watching

CosmicFoxKitty 03-05-2010 09:31 PM

Takumi: Ahhhh I know you probably think this is spam but can I have your gaia iteams you don't want!?!? I have to earn it the old way too it's not fair I can't get rich quick...

Takumi_Amari 03-05-2010 09:32 PM

Hi! Yeah, everyone seems to be really awesome around here. :3 I think I'm going to plan for an art shop. I've always wanted a successful one, but Gaia had so many of them that I never got any business. -_-;;

As for anime, I listed them up above. ^-^; I am currently watching Vampire Night, Naruto, and Bleach. ;3 I forgot to add Sukisho and Gakuen Heaven to my list though. ><;

CosmicFoxKitty 03-05-2010 09:33 PM

OMG your rasu-san reminds me of Okami!! Is it?

Takumi_Amari 03-05-2010 09:35 PM

@DeadAngel

Hmm...well, I've still got my account going, I'm just not on as much as I used to be. I do like all of my items though. :' ( But I think I have tons of extra stuff from previous events that aren't worth anything now. ><

Plus I respect that you have to earn it the hard way. I know how difficult it can be. D:> So, what is your gaia name? Mine is the same as my menewsha name.

Oh, and Yes, its is Ookami. I've never played, but I've always wanted to. Click on it and you can go to the site. Its a great site with free adoptable pets and you can create your own. <3

CosmicFoxKitty 03-05-2010 09:37 PM

AWWWW you should play it's flipping amazing I am so in love with it ^_^ mine is Katima_Amma

TalkingBackwards 03-05-2010 09:40 PM

Oh lawl it's you. Thanks for pointing this site out to me. It's awesome. XD

CosmicFoxKitty 03-05-2010 09:41 PM

Doesn't everyone?

Takumi_Amari 03-05-2010 09:57 PM

XD You're most welcome! This site is awesome! We totally need to do an art shop! D : >

CosmicFoxKitty 03-05-2010 10:00 PM

Takumi_Amari 03-05-2010 11:05 PM

Enjoy your snow witch! :3 Hmm...perhaps. What is your art like? Do you have a deviantart account?
