Gaia's dedicated moderators and staff are getting all philanthropic this holiday season, and you can too! They've amassed a large pile of items and art to gift to Gaians, either by sheer randomness or through various fun games. You can earn prizes by dressing up your avatar, playing Booty Grab, telling stories, and much more!

Head on over the official thread to get all participatory and stuff!

Modmas '09 Giveaway

Get to know beloved Gaia artists L0cke and jenzee in a live interview broadcasting today at 4pm PST. They'll be answering questions from inquisitive Gaians about all sorts of stuff: their influences, their favorite work for Gaia, their secret power animals, and more. Head over to the official thread to check it out!

In an effort to keep your virtual lungs lookin' clean as a whistle, we're ceasing the sale of tobacco-related items on Gaia. Aside from being all gross and unhealthy in real life, we don't think they make your avatar look any sexier.

If you have any pipes, cigarettes, or cigars in your inventory, you're welcome to sell 'em back to the shops for a nice, tidy profit.

At Gaia, we take great pride in employing some of the most talented artists in the business. You've seen their work all over the site, gussying up everything from manga and mini-comics to items and zOMG! creatures. Aside from being talented illustrators, they're also actual human beings, most of whom have their own personalities and everything.

Better yet, they happen to be pretty funny, interesting and helpful. We wanted to give you a chance to get to know the artists, check out some of their personal work and maybe even cadge a few pointers. They've been hard at work setting up some forum threads to introduce themselves and showcase their best stuff-- visit our Art Walk homepage to see what's up.

Howdy, pardners-- we just wanted to check in with a couple of quick news items...

New Forum: Supernatural

Hey, there's a new forum! Just in time for Halloween, we've dreamt up a brand new place to discuss vampires, werewolves, bigfoots (bigfeet?), yetis, apocryphal lake monsters, ghosts, fairies, Santas, etc. Our new Supernatural Forum is a permanent place for all you aspiring paranormal investigators to meet, shake hands, and exchange your gooey ectoplasm in a safe, nurturing environment.

New Homepage Test

Over the next few weeks, we're planning on trying out some new looks for the logged-out homepage, so a certain percentage of you guys might see something like this when you visit Gaia:






Each of the top tabs will showcase a different feature of Gaia; we just wanted to show new unregistered visitors some of the best stuff without overwhelming them with a ton of content.

There's not really much else to tell-- we just didn't want you to be freaked out when you visited Gaia and it looked all cool and unfamiliar. Beyond that, there aren't any changes to the site's registration process or anything.

Office Costume Survey: Vote!

It being Halloween and all, we decided to have a little costume contest around the Gaia office. Being staunch believers in democracy and egalitarianism, we thought we'd let you, the people, vote on which ones are the best. Voting is open till Monday, so please check it out!
