	Observation and opinion -w- Ling This is a quote I'm going to refer to. This. This is a very annoying trend. Maybe I should start making ads like this for Gaia. smile

	You know... when a user quotes another user and they say "This." followed by their own support of whatever it is they're agreeing on.

	yes it is o-o Edit: that would be actually rather funny if we had a gaia ad like that. Edit II: Not that it would be a good idea, but I would laugh at it. Of course that would be if I saw it, since I've got adblock plus for firefox... xD Shinohara Heavy Industries

	Yeah... I got tired of seeing those ads, so I finally clicked one to see what it was. I didn't stick around to play the game, but the local chat was spammed with new members saying things like: hay, where r the chicks? It isn't exactly false advertising, though I don't think it's the most sound way to run a respectable business. Obvious opinion is obvious. sweatdrop

	Hahahaha!

	I don't quite understand how the advert fits in to this, but the whole "quote" followed by "this" followed by some generic cookie cutter three/four word statement does annoy me a lot too. It is totally lazy and doesn't add anything to a topic, nine times out of ten. A particular SF thread that springs to mind, has a few people doing that, after one stated something they aren't going to do. They aren't even adding anything to it. It'd be nice if there was some rule against it, seeing as it is technically spam IMO.

	This! [Just kidding! heart Can't put quotes anyway, haha.] Gaia's traffic would certainly increase with ads like that, though.

	Did you see the whole ad campaign? (Yes, that last one is really real.) I can't believe this game is really just online Civilization. gonk

	I saw the ad while I was watching a Youtube video. I was tempted to see where the link took me. XD I couldn't stop laughing. I would laugh so hard if Gaia did this. rofl

	OMG, those ads... rofl I highly doubt the girl plays the game, even if it is free forever.

Commented on: Tue Jul 21, 2009 @ 01:56am


	Sex sells. Sadly, there will always be people willing to click if there's an attractive female involved.

	How come I never see sexy men in those ads? emo

	If Gaia makes such an ad, make it a pic of Liam because there are no guys on Gaia.

	Its funny because my fiance plays that game and there is no boobs or sex involved.

Commented on: Tue Jul 21, 2009 @ 06:18am


	I don't like it because it implies cybering with that kind of language. I can't believe any gaming coming would resort to sex as their selling base line. Then again, I could be reading too much into the whole thing.

	Oh god I saw some of those ads, they're terrible. It looks like they're trying to sell cheap porn. --Previously Kitsune_rei-- {Art Shop: Catching up} {Deviantart}{Storenvy}{Etsy}{Zazzle} Nintendo 3DS info: http://passid.ca/kitrei Pokemon W2 FC 0991 9935 4814

	Journals don't show the quote box, I think that's why people are confused. I admit I was too ^^; I'm also guilty of that wink

	Yeah, weird trend, definitely. It's nice if your totally agree with something, but it makes it seem like you haven't added anything worthwile to the discussion at all, for gods sake, think of something other than "this" /is really annoyed by the trend. I don't want to see more half-naked girls in campaigns, there are too many already, halfnaked boys however... rofl

Commented on: Tue Jul 21, 2009 @ 08:44am


	Because she would TOTALLY would say that in real life... Ling should do a pic or something that would be out of her character like "Like a good neighbor, state farm is there" "you can dance, you can jive. Having the time of your life, Oooo Oooo OOOO"

	You should totally make the joining page of Gaia with a girl ten times more slutty. Pffft. xd

Commented on: Tue Jul 21, 2009 @ 07:40pm


	Just to expand on the link Mindset provided because it's missing one of their ads: http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll167/Endrael/Untitled-1-1.jpg I saw that and wondered at first why I was seeing ads for a softcore porn site that had way too much love for airbrushing. It would draw attention to gaia, certainly, but I rather doubt many people would actually stay once they saw there wasn't anything sexual involved.

	That is why I got Adblock plus. To block those. I'm very tired of seeing that everyday. If we make an ad like that, make Lanzer pose for it ;x

Commented on: Tue Jul 28, 2009 @ 06:07am


	;) Ling, I will pay you to do that. /ntrly.

	Maybe you can have one of the boys in staff dress up in a sexy bikini (the ones with the tiny triangles that barely cover nipples!!) and pose sexy with a s&m quote. xD maybe you can get l0cke to do it. XDDDDD although I kinda have a feeling he might get angry if you suggested such things to him. =(
