Welcome to Gaia! ::

Stop it. Just put a 0. 2k10, 2k11, and now 2k12 all look stupid.

The 2k thing doesn't really bother me. confused I'd probably
forget and get confused if they suddenly made the switch.

I agree with you, but I think they do it to match the old ones.

As K is the abbrevation for thousand... 2k will not be over until the next thousand years... which would then be 3k and starting all over again. wink

As you say, it's an abbreviation so in a word that is the same number of characters long it really doesn't make sense to put the k instead of the 0.

I can see what the OP is saying on this one, I went to write 2k12 on some notes the other day and realised it was pointless and I might as well put 2012.

I would guess Gaia's keeping it that was for uniformity.
I'm not opposed to it being "2k__".

The way I see it, 'k' items are primarily indicative of event items, whereas '0' items are primarily indicative of MCs, Advance Chances, etc., of their respective years. The difference in notation is my rule of thumb for searching up year-related items in the marketplace so... keeping it up would help.

Maybe so, but 2k99 is the last time it'll be an effective abbreviation razz 2k100 is longer than 2100 after all

2k means 2000, 2k12 means 2012.

0k12 means 0012. We aren't in year 0012 now are we? wink

I disagree, I like this format. It is very Gaian.

Be that as it may, we will cross that bridge when we get to it. wink

If Gaia's still around then. xD
I prefer they keep it.
          It's how the separate the events from the rest of the stuff for the year. They use it for events and convention giveaways. The regular year stuff is for collectibles. Honestly, I want them to keep it that way so we can easily find the event items and not have to search through over thirty items to find that one little accessory from a past Xmas or Halloween event.
