Welcome!
- You might ask Why I made a Charity thread as an Anon.. And my answer to that would be that while I am giving, I'm also questing myself.
What's that quest, you ask? It's not gold. It's not an item.
It's something that everyone has, but not everyone will give.
I'm questing to change the language on Gaia.
I joined Gaia in 2004. Gaia back then was so great! Everyone helped each other, and if you got an item worth 500g, you were set!
If you had Fairy Wings, a Ducky Hat, or were fully decked out in the Pimpin' clothes, you were rich.
The Angelic Halo and donation letters were all status items. A Halo practically made you royalty.
However, since Gaia has shifted into needing to make all this money, they have severely damaged Gaia.. It's no longer a close-knit community. Everyone only looks after themselves. They don't care that newbie users might be struggling to afford anything. They come first.
I want to change this.
I am a strong believer in selfless kindness. People who give just to give and want nothing in return.
I want to restore Faith in this community, one anonymous gift at a time.
I want to show people that even if the majority of Gaians seem to not care, that there are people who still do.
In my years on Gaia, I have received so much support from my friends and total strangers. I want to pay it forward.. Because paying it forward moves mountains. It's a simple act that can change the world if people do it with their heart.. And truly mean it.
Just because you ASK me to help.. It doesn't mean I will.
I might help you right away..
I might help you tomorrow.. The next day.. Or a few weeks from now.
I might gift you gold.
I might gift you an item. It could be one you want. It could be one I feel like giving.
I might just bump your thread.
You'll just have to stick around and see what you get. emotion_yatta
I just want to state that there is another "Pay It Forward" Anon who asks you to give to three people who you feel deserve a donation.. THIS IS NOT ME.. I just want to make this clear.. and again ask if you are donating on behalf of THIS charity.. To sign your anon as "Pay It Forward Helper". The last thing I want to do is confuse people!
Let Me Lay Down Some Rules First
* Always be kind to others:
I'm always bothered by rudeness.. I'm here to give and uplift people, not bring them down.
* Don't Beg:
While I want to help, I won't if you're begging. "Ask and you shall receive" only goes so far..
* Chat with me!
I might be a mule account, but I'm still a person and want to talk. That's why I made this account.. So I could interact with you without blowing my cover.
* If you have a quest thread, let me know!
Just send it to me in a Private Message.
* Don't Quote anything on the first page!
Please.. I'm obnoxious and like to use a lot of code. ninja
* If you're going to donate to someone in this thread anonymously, PLEASE sign your gift: Pay It Forward Helper.
This is to ensure that people DO NOT thank ME for YOUR anonymous gift!
