I wish now that I had sold my cig back.
I don't think they take the money back when they give it back to you...

Yep... They let you keep the G, as well. But I am happy I didn't take the chance of loosing my items forever. :heart:

While i understand why the did it, they did go about it the wrong way - im not a fan of smoking either, i have taken great pleasure in chucking out or hiding my boyfriend's roommate's smokes when they were living together, they really should of given users warning at least before just pulling them out like that.

No, not many people may be influenced to smoke because they see cigs on gaia - real life does a good enough job with teens and peer pressure, movies, games etc.
I sorta agree with angel saying if they get rid of smoke items, they should get rid of anything that implies underage drinking, pregnancy, sexual acts etc. If you get rid of one group its usually best to get rid of all groups, but that would piss alot of people off.

I hate all this correctness stuff, honestly who gives a crap? I'm going to give my avatar drinks to hold and ciggies to put in their mouth and wear slutty clothing - is that going to make me want to go out and get smashed and smoke god knows what, have a one night stand and get pregnant? Uhh no because I have a brain. I hate it when big fusses are made over nothing.

If they are really worried about that stuff, they should put a child lock (yes, a CHILD lock) and not allow people under a certain age to buy those items or see anything like that. Maybe if they actually enforced their rules and kept anyone who is under 13 out of the site they wouldn't have so many problems either, but thats a whole different thing

Oh? The ban is gone? o_O;; Cool then, I guess? ^^;;

Also, Tre, totally agree with your post~ >;P <3<3
The child lock idea especially. xDD;;

Not only is it gone, but they've added a cigarette in the new Case of Pietro update.
...Weren't they just trying to get rid of them?

I liked the updates for Seracila Pendant and Hidden Ace though, mostly. :)

I just got a Gaia account. I had this one before I got on Gaia. Loveing_Alex. Message me, friend me or what ever. So what's up with everyone today?

but Gaia's forums are waaaay better

Of course they are, for some. Like folks who don't want to read forum descriptions. :)

It would help with your discussion if you gave reasons of why you feel Gaia forums are better. I, personally, came here from Gaia, and I like Menewsha much better.

Some things I like better here are:

The art style of the items and avis
The active involvement of the mods
The intelligent discussions with intelligent people
The general intolerance of trolls and the enforcement done to prevent trolling in the forums
I could actually go on and on, but I am tired at the moment and feel that I have made my side of the argument quite clear. ^^

Gaia forums have more variety then Mene. But its all, or most, meaningless discussions, trolling, and spamming. The forums on Gaia have really gone down hill since 2003. I joined in 06 and the past three, almost four, years, I saw Gaia fall apart.

Most people like Gaia because it moves faster. While on Mene, its a lot slower.

I like Menewsha's forums better, its easier to meet people and there aren't little kids running around using chat speak and cursing at people. XD

Like basically everyone else in this thread, I prefer these. Gaia's forums consist of just spamming. Every post has one to four words in it, and there is no discussion. The only time you find discussion is in the actual debate threads, which I don't want to have to debate just to have a conversation with someone.
Plus, on Mene people generally seem to just...care more, which is nice. xD

Actually, threads like this belong in a completely different forum just for chatter about other avatar sites. I am going to send this one over there.

WARNING: Gaia's got viruses on it!! I started playing the game last month... It gave me TROJANS!! Definition, Trojan: A virus that'll fry the inside of your computers insides. :vicky: Stop playing it if you don't want viruses... Just saying :yumeh1:

Like the whole website or a certain game that you can play on there?

Hmmm.... I've never come across any viruses on Gaia.

Just mind what links you click there. ^.^

I got a virus from the site once, but i dealt with it.
I messaged them and they fixed the problem as well and i haven't had any problems since then.

I've got two Gaias.. well, more, xD but.. I hardly ever get on them. o.o
My main one is The Rejected Unicorn and the other one I have is The Dancefloor Massacre. Right now, I'm questing for an OMG. Seriously, they're REALLY expensive. It sucks. I like the forums on there because it's more fast paced and it doesn't feel as slow. I usually hang out in my favorite Charity or in TLC Bumping, because I work for them. o.o

I've never gotten any viruses from Gaia. Where do they usually come from?

I have an account there, I don't like it though. The people there are not very nice, the forums are filled with way to much spam and I really dislike their bases, it is just very hard to make a nice avatar when you can't get a nice base. Plus they kept filling up my inbox with junk mail even though I clicked the "do not send me mail" tab.

So, I went back on Gaia today for a couple of minutes, and I looked at the avatars.
They look so weird compared to over here.
:shock:
That is all haha.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't like Gaia's avatars as much as I did before Menewsha. xD

Yeah, Menewsha's avatars are way better.
Gaia's avatars just look so puny and the heads are huge.
I don't really like the chibi style for Gaia anymore.

Yea, but Gaia also has more of a varity to offer for their avis. Though, do like the idea of something different from chibi. lol

I also don't like all the restrcitions they put on the users here on Menewsha. You can't have more than one thead in a forum within 6 months? Really? That's... kinda... rediculus to me. And then what they consider double posting is... wow.

They're rules are just waaaaayyy to vaguely writting.
