Whispers of Delusion
I'm gonna say here what I said in the previous thread.
Tektek was a very helpful tool and I loved it,
but it was a site used by a lot of Gaians
and it advertised a different avatarsite
where the users have been poaching Gaians nonetheless.
I understand the action Gaia has taken, to me it does make sense.
Do I think it was a smart decision? No.
Do I think Gaia should replace it by giving us a way
to easily browse items by color, type, pose etc? Yes.
Do I believe Gaia should properly fix and add tags to items? Yes
FFS GAIA ITEMS ARE UNFINDABLE!
But I understand.
Tektek had a variety of other avatar site ads for years, and Tekton's site has already been up since April. Why is Gaia only acting now? What changed?
Also, the users on that site don't poach Gaians. They might joke, but the real joke is that 90% of them are from Gaia and they know it. I've never seen legitimate anger/teasing of Gaians on there, just of the BS Gaia itself has been pulling.
Yes, they are old Gaians poaching Gaians.
I know because I was active there about a year ago, when it was a month or so old.
I'm not anymore because it was like one big CB, not my kind of place.
But I saw them poach, successfully.
Again, what changed was the combination of poaching/advertising.
I have no doubt Gaia has been losing users in bulk since the inflation started,
and they need something or someone to blame it on.
