lol, it's fake. for starters "Derek" is not the site founder. there never has been a user named "derek" on admin staff. Lanzer and co. are the founders...

but that's just a side point. if gaia wants to know who is active they can look at user logon data. sending PMs around in endless circles would not gather any useful data and would be highly inefficient. also, gaia NEVER deletes users, the coding actually doesn't allow for it. that's why there isn't a "delete my account" option. remember staff accounts have more privileges than our regular user accounts- that means they have access to more data and have the ability to do more things.

any way, this is a chain letter and sending those is strictly against the ToS. you can tell it's a chain letter because it asks you to send it to other people. if you haven't already, please report it as a chain letter and staff impersonation.

HELPFUL TIPS TO AVOID BEING HACKED

• don't rely on gaia's redirection warning to tell you when you are leaving gaia. you can code that out, many phishing sites are starting to do that so always check the URL in the address bar to make sure you are at gaiaonline.com (if "gaiaonline" is not right in front of ".com" you are not on gaia). the following are NOT GAIA: gaiaonlline.com, gaiaonliine.com, gaiaonline.battle.com, gaiaonline1.com, goldgenerator.com/gaiaonline

I'm sorry what...? You truly have no idea what you're talking about for the above quote.

&script type="text/javascript\"&/*<![CDATA[*/

GAIA_config = function (item) {
return {"main_server":"www.gaiaonline.com","graphics_server":"s.cdn.gaiaonline.com","jscompiler_server":"w.cdn.gaiaonline.com","no_image":"http://s.cdn.gaiaonline.com/images/s.gif","avatar_server":"a2.cdn.gaiaonline.com","avatar_save":"avatarsave.gaiaonline.com","town_name":"barton","session_page":300,"cache_value":"1192","fb_api_key":null,"fading_alerts":0,"is_vip_member":0}[item.toLowerCase()]
}
/*]]>*/&/script&

I do believe that above code checks to make sure the URL is Gaia(Could be wrong on this though), and can't be bypassed unless somebody somehow found a way to XSS a redirection using a existing Gaia URL.

Fun Fact:

GAIA_config = function (item) {
return {"main_server":"www.gaiaonline.com","graphics_server":"s.cdn.gaiaonline.com","jscompiler_server":"w.cdn.gaiaonline.com","no_image":"http://s.cdn.gaiaonline.com/images/s.gif","avatar_server":"a2.cdn.gaiaonline.com","avatar_save":"avatarsave.gaiaonline.com","town_name":"barton","session_page":300,"cache_value":"1192","fb_api_key":null,"fading_alerts":0,"is_vip_member":0}[item.toLowerCase()]
}

That above coding prevents Gaia HTML's from being uploaded to hosting sites and used as FLP's(Fake Login Pages) since it will throw a Gaia Page Not Found Error back when done, unless you deleted said coding from the HTML source.

thank you. that was very long, but it was very informative and useful. smile

I pointed out this guide to a friend who was hacked FOUR times. I really hope she reads this through carefully so it won't happen a fifth time.

Life Isn't THAT Easy....

I got the item disappearing glitch a few weeks ago. My wild things armour just disappeared. Don't care though, if an item of actual value disappeared, I might have cared. Good guide. Those hours it must have took to create this is worth it. I know there are like a billion guides out there about hacking and scamming etc. but people don't listed. I reckon Gaia should make an announcement and link to a few really good ones such as this, rather than having their average guides/rule things hidden away somewhere. I wish hacking would stop and people could get a brain sometimes.

Hi , thanks for making this thread.

I might have a different situation... I clicked on the suspicious link on GaiaOnline.com unlimited stuff (showing the link how to get free items) because of my curiosity. I clicked on it and it logged out itself. So I was panicked and changed my password 3 times..... I made my password very complicated as possible. Later, there was another random avi asking me to click on the link to get 60 million golds. Those links appeared on my comments profile not on my PM(I do not allow ppl to pm me). I have reported 2 Gaian who sent me same link. Am I safe enough??? ((I did not share my passwords ,,, it just logged out itself)) I already changed my password

PS: I also deleted the links .
