I guess companies have to focus on the bottom line -- profits etc

It's been losing it since ~2007 IMO.

I agree with this actually.......... it's kinda sad

Matter of opinion, I suppose. I still enjoy coming on this site when I can, RPing and talking with friends and generally bitching about the lack of diversity on the site.

I mean, it's tragic that such people had to be let go. They were important people to the site and whatever teh business decision decided that this was the best route for the company/site to go is totally out of the users hands (though, I suppose if more people bought gCash that might have another story).

Simply put, I don't understand this kind of angsting. What's done is done, sad as it may be. Support the site more if you can, either by allowing more ads/buying more gCash, ect if you feel that terrible about it.

I'm still incredibly sore about PRlSM being let go u3u and real life swallowing crossbon
But I don't know, I don't think Gaia has lost it's soul, the people that run it certainly look like they don't know what they are doing though XD like, they don't know where to go now, wich is kinda sad, but oh well, the "we'll focus more on the site" part of the last batch of updates gave me some hope.

very well put, and I agree (original poster). I know for sure I was upset when 0_8 was let go, he did so much for zOMG which is so special and now on the backburner :<

Really? I heard he was let go. Where did you hear this? I don't remember where I heard this, I think in a zOMG forum thread.

Long time ago? rofl I think the soul was sold for profits when rigs became monthly, but hey, the souless version isn't all bad, at least we don't get server errors as often.

I dunno, back when he first left I kept hearing "yeah he went to work on some game"

I mean, he definitely DID go work on Skullgirls, and that was IMMEDIATELY after he left Gaia. I don't have any actual documentation but at the time I thought he left voluntarily.

Sure, but we had a glorious shining moment, from like 2005 to early 2008, where we seemed to have both soul and stability.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS!

It hasn't lost it's soul, it's just modified it to fit in with the current
climate of the internet. If they didn't, they'd probably fold.

There are still lil pockets of happy to be found. Just gotta dig through
dirt to find diamonds.
