Some people are unmitigatedly brazen in their begging on Gaia. One occasion I can remember is when some moron started an open trade with me and in the subject box he put, "Can I have a Celestial Scarf?". Well how could I refuse that?

Just one, Sparky? Are you sure you don't want two? Why don't I just give my entire inventory to you? Go ahead! You deserve it, little prince! Take it all! ... ... ... Jackass.

:lol: The gall.

I feel a vast discrepancy in the effort to promote their EIs and the MCs. They used to do fun puzzles to guess the MCs, and also animations. No more. ):
I think it's probably unfair to use the Little Red Riding Hood one as an example. XD

If I heard the rumor correctly - they completely forgot about their new deadline (remember when it was the 8th for like, a month?) and had to slap together a Monthly Item in a matter of days. :rofl:

I didn't mind the red riding hood one I like red riding hood:XD
But the actual EI's are nicer than the monthly items and because the EI's have sooo many more poses it's ridiculous that they can only be worn one pose at a time

They didn't give me their Menewshan username. They only made the suggestion in my art request thread on Gaia. :XD I told 'em no, I'd like to keep my Menewshan account and not get it banned. :lol:

That's intentional though. They see it as a way of making people buy more of any item as it's the only way they can equip more than one option.

It's exactly why we didn't go down that route ourselves because it's something that everyone on the site hates. Some people thought we were crazy to allow everything to be equiped (if the layering allowed) from one CI because then people would only buy one if they didn't need more to be able to use all the items, but I don't think so.

Ours are a far better investment because you get so much more useability for your money, so people will be happy to buy them from those who donate.

I like to say that Gaia has used the same theory with their MCs as the chocolate companies do with their candy bars.

Chocolate company needs more profit: Instead of putting the price per bar up, they leave it the same price but reduce the size of the bar.

Gaia needs more profit: Instead of putting MC prices up, they increase the amount of stuff that goes into each MC, so people need to buy more of them...

yeah :lol:
I had that problem at mcdonalds when all that I ate there was the blt bagel. Then I got one with a half tomato slice, one piece of bacon broken into 3 pieces, not enough shredded lettuce for any to fall out and a smaller bagel.
And that was it for me. I'd have paid more for a good blt but not the same for that :P
So now I just don't eat there

Hmm.

I wonder how much my art would sell here.

I've never really sold my art on Gaia, but meh...

Now I'm curious.

I'm a constant lurker of the Gaian AF.

But I'm not really planning on making a shop for Gaia.

I'll always be a freebies artist.

><;;

But I might just sell it on here...dunno.

Oh well.

I have 3 of the Gift of the Goddess, because I like the shoes, the necklace, and I think the scarf? (I can't remember why I bought the 3rd one exactly). It wasn't too expensive, which is fortunate for me... I figured I could always sell them back later.

But it's so much nicer here, to be able to multi-equip items.
Most of the items are reasonable on the exchange, but there are some really high-priced ones, which makes it more interesting. Gives you something to quest for.

Mm

I have major love for the Gaias
I've been a member for four years now, and a GCDer for about three of them.

srsly

It's the best part of Gaia, in my opinion.
I wouldn't be on there anymore if it weren't for the GCD. c:

Yeah, the GCD rocks! <3 I love that almost everybody in there, especially the regs, are nerds and get most of the nerdy jokes! (Like, for instance, somebody said "You remind me of the babe", and for every single line for the rest of that part, a different person posted each line. It was aaaawesome 8D)

Anybody go to the Word Games subforum? Lots of awesome people in there <3

(I've been on Gaia since '05, been in the GCD since '07 =3)

Site Feedback makes me want to bash my head in! Especially with the whole fiasco with Fondue, grrr! I'm still annoyed that the description for him, which people would barely even to see to start with, was dwindled down to "Celebrate Easter 2k9 with this sweet gentleman".

"Let me coat your strawberries with my white chocolate!" was what it was before, but a lot of people threw a fit about it, saying that it wasn't PG-13, so the devs changed it to something along the lines of "A charming gentleman with the tendency to get too familiar", but again, another fit (people saying it brought up bad memories of molestation), so they finally changed it to the one I mentioned earlier.

...obviously, I'm still a bit bitter about the incident, don't mind me >_>;

Yah, I agree with you being so whiny. :rofl: It's kinda amusing but sometimes it's just plain annoying. They get mad at every change.
Wow, we hang out at the same forums. @__@

@ NiccaWoodStar: Great minds think alike, maybe? :XD (Actually, I've noticed that most of the people who go to avatar sites, including Gaia, tend to hang out in the same forums =3 Not always, but a lot)

I sometimes go to the SF, but I rarely post there because usually it'd be shot down in flames anyway no matter what I say :roll: I'm more often in either the Charities chatting with my friends or answering questions in the Q&A due to boredom.

And they changed the description for the Fondue?! I liked the old description...:cry: I was thinking of getting one too, though it was too expensive so I gave up on that.

I love how in SF they'll be whining about wanting something, and then when they get it they'll whine about it. Fun times!
