You can always have it as a secondary place. You don't have to always post in the forums. They have games as well. The games get boring after a while but their a good way of getting bits.
It's a chat site like Gaia and many other chat sites. They have avatars and items for them but they don't have GC but they do have an item subscription which lasts 31 days for $7. There's a lot of things different there than gaia. Like changing skin tone, eye color, eye look, hair style, and hair color for free. The items are pretty cheap there compared to here since there's a limit on how many bits you can earn in a day which is really nice since the market won't end up like the one here. There's no recolors of the items just light or dark versions which you can change the colors of them at any time which again is nice.
