Ah, the marketplace. I've been milking that baby dry since it came out. *points to cape and jester hat* I managed to get a peacock regalia and a blind justice too. :)

Ohhhh I really want blind justice! I got a bunch that I've really wanted, like eyes of the wild for example, and blood lotus

Ugh. I had to camp on that baby. (the blind justice) I've only seen that thing for auction for some reason, and mine took two weeks of waiting and bidding to get. Now I need to go on a commons buying spree so that I can make a nice outfit with the sword and the blindfold. :yes:

I want meh some gowns and lingerie. ^_^

I'm wanting the fire ones... I have a quest thread with the names listed out. I kinda want a lot of stuff. lol. I accidentally went on a bit of a buying spree, because I needed some stuff... needed is used loosely there. lol.

I think "needed" is always used loosely on Mene...I mean, it's a virtual world. Short of making sure you aren't in your underwear, there are real "necessities" on the site :)

True, true. This is why I don't ever buy anything with real money on this site. Although mene does deserve the support more than any other site does. *nod nod*

I just can't justify to myself the idea of buying something virtual with real money.

I'm with you on that one. There are too many things in the real world that I'd rather spend my money on, need to spend my money on, like tuition, and food, haha.

True enough, but I consider it a donation, and the items are just a fun little reward. Had I any extra money, I might donate to the sight, anyways.

I wonder if they're considered charitable donations and tax deductible? That could be a big selling point for the site...

Not really sure. It might fall loosely under the category, but mene would have to be considered a legal charity, and I think for that they have to provide a service other than talking to people. lol. Not totally sure though, ask an accountant.

Meh. If that were so Gaia and so many other avatar sites would have milked that money cow years ago.

I prefer this site to the others out there. I've tried a few, and this one is definitely the best.

Better avatars, nicer people for the most part, usually better, and more attentive mods. Etc. etc.

Hmmm, well, I'm not reading through all 100+ pages of chatter to catch up on what's been said, so I'm just gonna jump right on in, lol. ^^

I have to agree with sarofset. Mene's one of my favorites in the sense of avatar-based forum communities. I've checked in on a fair few and it's just got pretty avatars, nicer people, and it gives off the feel of a smaller community while still being decently large. ^^

The community actually cares and it's not just spam ville with people trying to get gold. I think that the conversation is on a much higher level than the conversation of other avatar sites because people actually care about what they're writing. I've actually made some good friends on this site while I haven't made one in all the three years I've been on Gaia.

It does seem like it has a lot of cool people who are great to talk to (people on this thread, for instance) and I'm definitely looking forward to getting to know you all better!

We look forward to the same dear. :)

I also like the fact that mene is huge. I can talk to the people who are cool, without having to talk to people who bug me. Some other sites, don't have the same distance, you know? It's like a whole city on here.

Haha. I'd call Gaia huge, but not Mene. I think Mene is just comfortably sizable. :)

BTW, pay no attention to my nekkedness. Lol. :ninja:

*sighs happily* Indeed. I don't feel like I'ma get my head ripped off for jumping into a conversation.

And, yeah. Ely did. :D I've had it for a couple of days, but I haven't had the chance to use it until now. Some friends and I are having a smexeh party in another thread. :ninja:

Blind Justice! *jealous* :mrgreen:

I have to agree with what's been said about Mene, I like the avatars more than on other sites (if you look at the avis on Gaia on Solia for example ... they just look odd, our avis manage to look like they should; pixel dolls) the mods are so nice, and totally willing to help you with any problems what so ever, and the community is large enough that everyone can find someone that has tastes similar to their own, but small enough that after a few months you can't really get around the site without finding someone whose user name you recognize. I like that feeling.

Additionally I like the sense on mene that they're always trying to make things better, everyone's always working together. I think this can be seen in the way our events are set up, they seem to be made to drawn people in to meet and talk to one another, not just as pointless gold/rare quests.

TL;DR version: I :heart: Menewsha

Ah, yeah. I HAAAATE the events on Gaia. They are so impersonal. And their event rares aren't even that rare now that there are so many people that automatically turn them around and pawn them for five gold the instant they get them.

I, on the other hand, plague Mene during events because my chat threads become really popular and everyone sticks around all night to talk. The conversations are just delicious when you get enough people in on them. ^.^
