A couple things I've thought about for a long while...
When looking at posts, do you ever judge someone because of the appearance of the avatar? I know I've done it a few times...
Also, do people still talk or even brag about how much they are worth on Gaia? With gold so easy to get through things on the site, or just investing the smallest bit of real money, it would seem insignificant. At least to me, the idea is.
If I wasn't just waking up, this post would have been a little more detailed and in depth. But these are the questions and conversation I'd like to have. So, what do you think?
Edit- Apparently, someone (who shall remain unmentioned) thought that this thread "reeks of elitism". That was not the intent at all, and want to clarify that was not the purpose or point of this thread. I just thought I'd ask how users view each other in this virtual community where an avatar can (but not always) mean everything. It's a psychological thing.
