The double posts were my fault sorry, the site lagged up while testing something new out. Should be all fixed now :)

I figure I'll go back and forth between here and Gaia. They're pretty similar (although this one has Tetria, YAAAAH), but this place looks pretty fun, too!

I'm still a Gaian because I've met some very close friends up there - but I don't really venture into the forums and stick to the guilds instead. Gaia irritates me though because they neglect the guilds so much.

Long time ago.

I got bored and stopped playing. I thought menewsha was more of the same
but it isn't. I love it here.

I know! It was so lame! I spent most of my time playing the games to get gold.
I'm glad there are no threads like that here.

I still have a Gaian account. I get on there a lot and I get on here just about as much. I find it good to have something to balance things out so I'm not spending so much time on one site. I do agree that there has been some stuff going downhill, but it is still a good site. And if you face it, there are always going to be people who mess things up for everyone else.

If you want to add me on Gaia, I have the same username. Marsh LeighAnn.

Just saying.
She pretty much said what I was going to say. Also, a lot of people, including myself, have had accounts banned on Gaia for no reason. It kind of kills the joy of the site. I check into the country music subform on there from time to time to see if anyone has posted in the "help" thread, but nothing else.

I still use Gaia, but I cling to my Guild for dear life. >< (Why Not? is the name of the guild. ;D)

Used to be on Gaia... the fun kind of died. I used to do those tektek avatar contests xD
And RP... ;; Now it's just boring.

Guilds are like always the last thing to get an update on Gaia.
Gaia did like two different layout changes withing a matter of months along with a ton of other changes that were just like "why the hell did they do that?"
When they had changed the quick links menu, they removed "my guilds" and there was such an outcry that they made the quick links custom so people could have what they wanted back.
For years now people have wanted to do more with the guild account funds instead of just buying subforums. Finally they have an announcement feature for guilds to utilize the account.

Pretty much, guilds don't see a whole lot of changes. It also irritates me that Gaia's description of a guild is a "fan club." My guild isn't a fan club, so why are all guilds called fan clubs?

That does sound very irritating. What would you like to see them do with guilds?

Well, a lot of guild owners want to see a way to tap into those guild funds (they're donations from members) so contests can be held. However, I understand that the funds could always just be pockted by the captain. I can say I was pretty please with getting the announcement feature, but once again when your guild account is well over 500k and you don't need anymore subforums, you really wonder what good is all that untouchable gold.

I think their could also be more options for moderators when it comes to deleting, moving topics or bannig members. Cleaning out a guild is a long process when you have to ban everybody individually and also delete each and every topic. Convienance would be really nice.

Those are just some general thoughts I can think of - I'm sure there's more when I'm doing something in my guild but right now I'm drawing a blank.

I've been on Gaia since 2003, but I'm pretty much inactive over there now. I can only keep up with one avatar forum site anyway. XD

I was attracted to Mene in 2007 because the community reminded me of the 03 Gaians. Since then, that feeling has disappeared, but I still prefer Mene over Gaia. Most of my friends on Gaia have left the site, and the only thing which kept me there for a while was zOMG.

These days, when I think of Gaia, I think of a site full of rude children. The exchange used to be my home but most people in there these days think they're too cool for you and are willing to do anything for pixels - betray friends, rip off unsuspecting people, you name it. I know there are still plenty of nice people on Gaia, but I don't feel it's worth it to brave the idiots there just to find those people. In addition, I've been increasingly disillusioned with Gaia's money-grubbing marketing tactics. I know Gaia needs money to pay their staff, pay for servers, etc., but we all know that there are better ways to do that than release 10000 rares per month while ignoring the poor, battered economy.

P.S. I love how they hired an economics student as an intern, passed him off as an economics expert, then used him as a scapegoat.

Regardless of this, I still sorta like Gaia, but I only login once every few weeks. I like their sense of humour. XD

Anoni I agree about the humour, it's good that the original people have still managed to hold onto that at least despite being so heavily under the corperate thumb these days. Whoever holds the pursestrings now at least still let's them retain that part of the site's personality.

I have an account with Gaia but as others have pointed out, in other words, it is like being mobbed with rude children. I get on every once in a while but I have found that I like Mene much better.

Still a gaia user, been one since 04. I only stay in my guild though. I hate going into the rest of gaia. Old gaia was so much fun, buit now it's just all about the money. The event items used to be so awesome too. Now they're just kinda...repeats with a tiny update.

Yes. I got blocked for fourteen days for a long while because of I don't know what, and a month after that, perm blocked. I've been told it's because they thought I was botting, but I also feel a lot of people were spreading dirty rumors about me. I've tried sending word to my friends there that I'm here, but only three have joined the site.

I still play Gaia and I am an addict on there. I can't wait until tomorrow when they have the event out. I hate it sometimes because everybody is so mean when an event is out. =/ Though I am not an ADDICT...addict I use to be back then. I go there and post and leave. I have NOTHING to do on the computer anymore. Which is sad on my part, really. o.o;

pft. P: I still go on Gaia. Because I like some of their pixel items. XD
The items and the artists and shops are still the only reason I still sign in once in a while.

I once was, yes. But like so many people have said, Gaia is now polluted (lol) and overrun by people who are sex-driven and are in general just total jerks.

I still go on there occasionally, but just because I have nothing better to do and I might as well get my daily win. >.>

But Menewsha is much better.

I like gaia alot more. But I have amazing friends there, and I know how to edit and all that stuff. Plus earning gold(and therefore clothing xD) is much easier. I do wish they'd get a castle defense game like here, but oh well. Maybe if enough people suggest it they'll make some gaia version =D

BTW my gaiaonline user name is KelsieTheWereNeko if you're looking to find out lots about me and make friends =D I'm very often on there and messing around with stuff LoL

I was on Gaia several years ago, but I left shortly after I joined Mene.
I'm really noticing the Gaia attitude sort of leaking over here lately.. :\
