Being Respectful

Hey Gaians,

We wanted to take a moment to address some concerns stemming from the LGBTQIA items that we released in the last Gold Shop Update. We wanted this to be an act of good will for our members since it is LGBTQIAQ Awareness month. These have been long requested items from Gaians and as a community we wanted to recognize that there are many who are figuring out who they are and this should be a safe and inviting place for all.

We understand that by releasing these items discussions have opened up about thoughts regarding LGBTQIA issues. They were not meant to cause anyone grief but, rather, to help reach out and spread awareness about the month itself.

This has led to threads becoming very heated, forums to become hostile and members saying things that are offensive to others. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion they need to be expressed in a way that is not a violation of our Terms of Service. There is a fine line between opinions and then terms and accusations that are offensive. It is possible for that expression to be a Terms of Service violation.

We'd like to remind everyone that, no matter what your beliefs or opinions are, respecting each other can go a long way. Our members come from all different cultures, backgrounds, upbringings and lifestyles from all over the world. This means that there has to be tolerance extended to others, especially under the circumstances when Gaia is paying tribute to a month that is that can be personally sensitive to some users.

No matter who you are, we are all Gaians. And, with that, we have a solid binding similarity that we share. We mainly want to reinforce that this is a positive experience.

TekTek Update


Hello Gaians,

We wanted to take a moment to provide some transparency in our recent letter sent to TekTek, what it means for the site, and why we sent it. As you may know, we are currently contacting TekTek over its usage of our intellectual property (IP). Let's outline the basic reasons: for a very long time, TekTek has benefited from the traffic generated by users travelling to their site from Gaia Online, and users have been able to utilize TekTek to craft dream Gaia Online avatars. In fact, many users aren’t even aware that it is an entirely separate site from Gaia, and one we have no input on. In general, there has been a healthy relationship between TekTek and Gaia Online as we have allowed this. Many, many months ago, TekTek launched a competitor site that directly began featuring ads on services carrying our intellectual property. As a business practice, this is not okay and we would like to resolve the matter with TekTek in a way that allows their site to remain up, and our property to stay protected. We are waiting for them to reply to our initial letter, taking the site down is our final resort if we are unable to come to a mutually beneficial decision.

We would like to thank Gaians for their understanding as we continue to work through this. We will update you all when we have a resolution to this.

Insanity is catching...

He believed in the best of humanity and knew that we could be even better if we just thought a little more. Thanks for creating a whole other world for us while still grounded in this one.

Hey Gaians,

We appreciate all the applications that we have received so far! We will begin processing them soon. We did want to provide an update and clarification about the application process:

  • When you send in your e-mail, please include your username. If you have already sent in an e-mail and it does not include your username, simply resend it!
  • You must include the e-mail subject, "SCAS Application", or we will not be able to process your application.
  • At this time we are only able to accept Gaians that are of 18 years of age or older. Unfortunately this is a requirement as we do need you to sign a legal mutual nondisclosure agreement.
