Welcome to Gaia! :: Posts By User Unknown User | Forum

Hey Gaians,

We've heard quite a few requests for new forums to discuss a few different aspects of Gaia life, and we're always happy to oblige. We're adding three new forums today:

Official Gaia Contests - Gaia is planning to run contests much more regularly in the future, so it's only natural that people would want to talk about them. The Film Festival Contest is going on right now, so be sure to stop by and say your piece. This forum will be in the "Gaia Community" section of the main forum index.

Gaia Convention Tour - You can visit our new convention forum to talk about the Gaia Convention Tour and Kiki's Road Trip. This forum isn't new, but it's in a new place-- we've put it in the "Gaia Community" section of the main forum page, so you'll be able to find it more easily.

Gaia Merchandise - Here's a place where you can discuss and show off your GStore/QOOP merchandise, or request new stuff for us to make. Want some Gambino candlesticks or Ron Bruise lobster bibs? Request 'em here. This is a subforum of the "Fashion & Style" subforum of General Discussion.

Enjoy! And remember: just because they're new doesn't mean you should spam 'em up. Post responsibly!

Hey, guys! We wanted to give you some advance notice about a couple of important changes that you'll be seeing on Gaia very soon.

For a while now, we've wanted to simplify how username colors of Gaia staff and Moderators appear around the site. We're about to make things way easier to understand:

In brief, there are going to be 2 main colors for people that are here to help; Green for Moderators and Orange for Administrators.

Green - For all Gaia's Moderators. In addition, there will be a text title under their usernames that better explains what their role is and how they can help you. If you need help, people in green are the ones who can help you.

Orange - For Administrators. These are the ones who manage the forums and lead the moderation and member services teams.

You may also see these other colors on usernames:

Dark Brown - For names will be given to those who do art, coding, and other fun stuff for you. These are the people that talk about features and development.

Black - For all other members on Gaia. So if a black username tells you they are a moderator or admin, they aren't smile

Members on your friends list will still be in Dark blue, and NPCs will continue to remain Red.

As you may know, there are currently several different username colors given to our staff based on what they do to support you, and that can be really confusing. We believe this new way of identifying Moderators and Adminsitrators will make it even easier for you to find who you need to assist you with anything on Gaia.

Green Moderators will still be your first line of support for all of your community needs. And Orange Administrators will continue being the official voice of Gaia as well as leaders of the community team.

Gaia's support team is growing really fast! That's why we want to make things more clear and simple.
We're already improving on our response time, and this color change is another effort in making things better. You should expect to see both the green moderators and orange admins engaging the community more than ever before.

We'll let you know when this takes effect, so stay tuned!
