Wow. You're right, that does remind me of Gaia a lot. >.<
I used to spend so much time here. I hardly spend any now. I check in, tune out the announcements mostly, check my notices, and if there is nothing that my friends or guilds have posted, I leave. I don't feel engaged toward the site anymore. Partly that's my own fault, I suppose. I could get into the games again, but they are, tbh, dated, and don't reward on par with what the site needs anymore. I should get into RPing again, that would probably get me to do more here, but all my old friends I used to RP with don't come here anymore, and joining new circles is intimidating to me. I know, I know, go whine some more. ;p
Gofusion is good, but I am so afraid it's just going to be another left in the dust feature. There were so many things they made that had promise, and then eventually they never get updated anymore, and are just left to eke out an existence. It's so sad. If they just refreshed and revitalized a lot of the old features, it would make the site a more enjoyable place to hang out again.
