@ Kaema - I know >__< How many people actually use rally anymore for racing? Most who do go in it just sit around and chat. And I want to know how many people honestly care for looking at the cars that people do use. Honestly, all that time and energy put into scripting it so users could have multiple cars. What a waste. There were a million other things they could have done.... like finding a patch against all the annoying scriptors that infiltrate Rally and Towns >_<

Seems like most people on gaia had gotten unforgivably rude. So I stopped going there because of that. I found this site and I think it's a lot more calmer and enjoyable. I think the avatars and art are prettier here too. :3

The mod I PM'd also brushed me off and just told me to send in another Inquiry. It's been a year since my account has been banned. I see no sign of them ever getting to my case of which they claimed to have 'put in a que and awaiting a moderator to take care of'. :roll:
I wasn't for a second calling anyone out as a liar in particular, my point was that it's a bit silly for someone to say that Gaia unfairly bans loads of users but all the Menewsha users saying they've been unfairly warned or banned are lying ;)

Like I said, you might think/know you were unfairly banned, but people who were fairly banned say that too, so saying xxxx users were unfairly banned is just silly, the only ban you know anything about is your own.

*runs off to play asteroids*

Seriously. I saw that car crud earlier today and I went and decked out mine so that I wouldn't have to pay real money to change it again. Gaia is not worth money in my opinion. Nothing virtual is.

I don't think the car parts will cost Gaia cash...I think it's just the cars themselves.

Gaia isn't worth money when practically everything costs Gaia cash! It's supposed to be a free site but everything new almost always costs you real money.

Woah, woah, slow your role.....
They're making us pay real money for something that was free/able to be bought with gold.....
....The words I am saying in my mind are not appropriate for this forum.

It's kind of ironic...when I first started reading that annoucement, I was thinking "Yes! Finally! An update that isn't related to Gaia cash! And hey, this sounds pretty cool too." (or something like that...)
And then I read the note at the bottom...

ya, I really don't get why they took a feature that's been free for 2+ years (especially a feature not many use when compared to Towns or zOMG or even the forums) and making people HAVE to pay for it. I can sort of, kind of see them charging for having more than one car, but the fact that now they're going to force a car on you and make you pay for a different one is stupid. The first car should remain choose-able and free and any additional ones should cost money. Not the whole damn thing!

All the same, I wish they had put their efforts elsewhere. WTF Gaia, you have horrible time and money management

Yes, exactly! The first one should be free and you should be able to swap it out. And any additional cars could cost Gaia cash.

And the car parts better still cost gold...

@ lolmariel - are you typing it in right?

http://www.gaiaonline.com/

If you can't get in is it giving you an error message or just saying "page not found?"

Hey guys, keep in mind - the cars thing is actually there because of a sponsor (hence the car models being various forms of Scion). This might not have been a decision of their own, but something they were pressured to do by Scion. As you said - cars and Rally isn't that popular anymore, especially racing.

yes, but you'd think a sponsor would realize that would only make Rally even less popular, which is what makes me wonder if its more of a Gaia decision (since they are known to make dumb choices these days) or not

Well, I still do like gaia for some things, but it's just not the same as it used to be. You can't argue with that. The things about how gaia used to be is what really appealed to me to begin with. You can tell us what you think anyway, I won't judge anyhow. I have no right to judge. :3 I'll hear anyone out.

I don't know, but I am no where near happy with the current developments of Gaia. The things that are actually worth having you have to pay real money for. Like the Aquariums. Did you know that they were origionally suppose to be for GG and not the Cash? It's dumb.

The only good thing about Gaia is the fact that you can earn GG quite quickly. I'm having a very hard time doing that here. And then there so many rules that I dont think make any real sense, though to them, I'm sure they do.


For instnace. I'm a 07' Gaia. Same name account. I'm an OP/L Reg and Oldie and on there we have Critique Shacks where you can submit your work to get looked at and get help by whoever's running the thread. It's free of cost. It saves the people doing the Crits from being flammed by those writers that aren't really serious about their work or extra sensitive to taking the often time hard-sounding, yet truthful and very helpful advice. I'm posted a question on here because I wanted to do the same thing here, but I hadn't seen any open in the Poetry Forum. They told me no because it was considered a duplication of posts and the point of posting in the forum was to get it critiqued in the first place.


I jsut think some things were better on Gaia, but other's are nicer here. Like the point that the mods actually do their work so the users themselves don't have to play MOD, like a lot of us regs do in the OP/L so as to keep things in order. They threatened to close it down because apprently were not allowed to have 'chat threads' unless they are related to Poetry and others were opening them up.


Gaia also seems to have more users in the forums and all round in general. I'm just hoping this will grow so I so don't have to worry about not getting gold since i can really only earn it posting.

:O Are cars that popular? I never really touch mine except when I occasionally click the wrong place in Rally or Hollywood and accidentally park it. I wouldn't have cared if I'd had to have a standard Scion one I don't think.

I just started going on menewsha. Isn't it obvious. Ok so I go on gaia also. So far I learned it is harder to earn gold on this site. So I will most likely be naked for a while. I will try this site for a little longer and decide if I want to swicth back to gaia or not. But so far I like this site.

I only tried the Rally once, and it was weird/hard for me. Do you even get gold if you win?

The weird thing, I never post in the forums on Gaia, I just play zOMG and get my daily chance. I just like to dress up my avatar basically, and people there are really mean, this is probably the only site I've ever posted the most on.

I've never found it "hard" to make :gold: on this site, and was able to accumulate a small fortune. I don't think that Menewsha will ever become a mega-forum like Gaia; I would hope that it doesn't become a mega-forum like Gaia, at least.

I'm still on Gaia, but it's getting boring and too costly. I still enjoy all the friends I have on there. They're the only thing keeping me on Gaia. After two years, I got serverly attached.
