oh, another random question: any reason why now if javascript is off you can't log into gaia? *just wondering ;p*


Anne Packrat: *offers plate of cookies*

Thank you. They will go to feed the ratties. Packrathulu feeds on insanity. Insanity and pie.

Any anime the artist / dev / staffers are obsessed with now (and hopefully we'll see items from soon?)

oooh, insanity's a good thing~~~ ^_______________^

no, that was his clone XD

DAMMIT IAN! scream
He tricked me.*Gets some chloroform* Right after AtA. twisted

He does that because many want to kidnap rufus. Oh Rufus can't join science because Edmund won't let him.

Forget Edmund, not letting little Rufus to go to whichever camp he pleases. Rufus will join fitness camp so he can kick Edmunds a**...wait I see what you did there.

join us we have cookies twisted

Never!...maybe...fish cookies?

Sure! We have all kinds of foods wink

Nope, it's always been 6 PM California time.

Agreed, I don't even browse that forum I hate it >.> the forum is really just a GCD #2

OMGaia forum is full of WOMPKA'S CRAP! Wompa's crap is a ancient decease that comes from British people who play too much children card games.

How much red Bull do you guys consume in one day?

...(Checks times.) That's odd. I coudl've sworn that this would've started later. Anyways,

Hi guys!! I’m finally back and doing Ask the Admin. sweatdrop Before I ask my questions I wanna say thanks for…

1. The contact section of Salon Durem.
2. Teal hair. As you can see I’m making use of it.
3. The emotion cash shop update. They’re all cute items I plan on getting, and it rocks that they weren’t in a rig!

Now for the questions!

1. At the moment gaia has a lot of things that we're allowed to put in our signatures. It gets a little tedious when you have to load signatures with skittles badges, licenses, aquariums, etc. Is there any way we could limit the number of gaia-related items in people's signatures?

3. What camp team are you guys all planning on joining for the event? biggrin I’m at juvie camp here and using a mule to join the rich camp, either way I’m looking forward to the event.
4. The release of the Garden of Venus has caused many male (and female) users to be up in arms. Was the gender limitation the sponsor’s idea? Is there any way that the world could be adjusted to allow males in it? Are future sponsors going to be doing the same thing but with, say, a male only or over 21 only world?

I'll answer these since I'll at least somewhat know what I'm talking about wink

1. Our CCS team is already looking in to a good way to limit these, I'm not sure if a final decision has been reached or not on how they want to approach limiting them.

3. No idea, I think I'm leaning towards Science though smile

4. Fleep had addressed this in a thread in SF, I don't know where where it is now though. So yes it was a sponsor idea. We may open it up to males later. Yes it is possible we will be doing a males only world in the future don't know about a 21 or older world o.O

Thanks!

Yay!

I will repeat my questions in case they got skipped over~
I hate to be 'that guy' ...

1. Has Gaia considered working with a company other then GetGambit for their free offers? It seems like the website itself is sketchy and has caused a lot of problems for people in the past and we'd like to know if Gaia has considered any other options.
4. We all know that right now you're focusing on the community aspect of Gaia, but after that is there an action plan of what next to update?
5. Are there any plans to update Fishing and other parts of Gaia that run on old coding anytime soon, or is that just on the backburner?
6. Some people are wondering what they are supposed to do with their excess PSP Raffle tickets now that the event is over. What are we supposed to do with these now useless tickets?
7. Are there any plans to make more contests that are worldwide rather then US-oriented? Are we getting closer to having overseas Cash Cards?

I'd answer these but I honestly don't have a clue about them and don't know who to go ask sweatdrop

Not this one, zOMG is rather busy this time around

Whoops, that feature didn't get added to preview. Hopefully when the next store update come around.

All credit goes to Tae and the admin group for putting everything together!

Yeah, installed a garage opener, security lights, worked on joysticks and starting fixing my treadmill. Nothing like playing with tools.

Thanks for answering!

[Lanzer]

We looked at two companies before and already eliminated one. There are smaller companies also but I haven't heard better feedback from those others. It's unfortunately a market that's hard to quality control, and that's taking a lot of our time.

I must say that OMGaia was a spur of the moment idea that we wanted to do for everyone while we're still busy working on our own stuff. I need to say that either we do a decent job of updating, or we need to close then re-open when it's better organized.

The community focus is more about feature updates and software development. On the community side we'll continue to have webcast and other mini events to keep things fun

Games are on the back-burner right now because of limited resources (us being more zOMG focused), but we'll definitely circle back to them.

The raffles are always shrouded by legal limitations as to what we can and can't do. It's scary how much law surrounds what is a legit raffle versus a sweepstakes or contest, etc. Unfortunately it's super hard to have international events. Hope that in the future we'll have ones directed for UK or other audiences.

Have a great week everyone, get ready for summer event 2009!

I just have a few questions this week.

1. Has Gaia considered working with a company other then GetGambit for their free offers? It seems like the website itself is sketchy and has caused a lot of problems for people in the past and we'd like to know if Gaia has considered any other options.

2. OMGaia! itself is a great idea, but it seems a little messy at the moment. Are there any plans to reorganize or make it more user-friendly?

3. It seems like the dev notices part of OMGaia! rarely gets updated (for some, they haven't been updated at all since they have been put up). Is this because someone just forgets to post or are those parts of the site not getting updated?

4. We all know that right now you're focusing on the community aspect of Gaia, but after that is there an action plan of what next to update?

5. Are there any plans to update Fishing and other parts of Gaia that run on old coding anytime soon, or is that just on the backburner?

6. Some people are wondering what they are supposed to do with their excess PSP Raffle tickets now that the event is over. What are we supposed to do with these now useless tickets?

7. Are there any plans to make more contests that are worldwide rather then US-oriented? Are we getting closer to having overseas Cash Cards?
