Why I am participating in Gaia Nakie Day


When I first came to Gaia, I was lost and I felt out of place. I met many unfriendly people and I thought Gaia was not a nice place to be.

Slowly, I discovered that the trolls, the flamers and the pervs are not the majority of the population.

There are many kind, selfless and helpful people in Gaia. They are the ones who make this experience worthwhile.

That is why I'm taking off all my items for the first time ever. I love items, and dressing up my ava, but what I like even more is having good conversations with people.
I don't care if they just joined or have been here since Gaia appeared.

We are all worthy people, regardless of the items we have biggrin

A new report system has been installed! Now users will be able to report posts and threads that go against the TOS, pornography, harrasment, suicide encouragement and such.

Do not use this system to report threads that need to be moved or relocated, since this is considered and abuse of the system and may result in banning!

Also a new Moderating system will be in place so that we have more Moderators available to assist us.

You can read all about it in the late Announcement, here!!

The holiday Event just started! This year it will be caroling XD
This is how it works:

1) Go to a store.
2) Look for the caroling button at the top corner of the shop. It looks like this:
User Image
3) Press it and wait 15/20 mins to continue caroling.
4) After caroling in 5 stores, the last store you visit will give you a
present.
5) There are 3 kinds of presents, depending on the LAST store you visit and they cannot be opened until Xmas.
In Gambino you get - Blue & White Giftbox User Image
In Durem you get - Brown & White Giftbox User Image
In Barton you get- Green & White Giftbox User Image

Maybe each NPC gives a different present, but that remains to be seen.



December 15
Jowy is making a comic!!! xd And he wants everyone in the shop to be in it. So here is what you need to do:
1) Take a picture of your ava in your favorite outfit, in every Gaia
pose. Please make sure your ava's hands are free (not holding staffs or anything).
2) Pm it to Jowy.

That's it, you are on your way to stardom xd heart

I decided it will be fun if we do some theme related weeks for everyone to dress up accordingly. Afterwards we can take some group pictures and post them here as a souvenir. This week is dedicated to the pirates! Because Jack Sparrow is hawt and because I still remember the first pirate week at the other coffee shop. blaugh

Some gaians found images of the new poses our avatars will have on the beta system, soon to be released.

The main changes are in the arms and hands so we can hold fishing rods, weapons and hopefully someday, coffee cups!! crying heart

Without further ado, check this feast for the eyes!!!

Preview of our new avatars, click meeeeeee!

Disclaimer- the two swords that you saw there are not official swords, a user made them just to see how the ava will look. But the poses are official (meaning made by admins). These pics were found in some admins' profiles... they are trying them already! However the poses have yet to be perfected a bit more, so the final result might look somewhat different.


October 10
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to wish me and Yoko a happy birthday!! It was lots of fun!! You guys made us feel loved and special!!! heart crying whee xd
And here is Jowy's present, I love it thanks!! heart :

It is that time of the year again, time to get officially older and celebrate xd

So come and join us, you are invited!!!

<center> Getting rid of the cyber in the Chatterbox </center>

Maybe some of you have noticed, that in the last couple of weeks more and more cybering threads are being created in The Chatterbox. It is really sad that what once was a diverse and fun forum, is rapidly turning into a pathetic gathering for perverts of all kinds.

Over the last few days I've seen threads of people offering sex for gold, posting pictures of their private body parts (for gold or for sheer stupidity) and multiple people simply having cybersex.

Regardless of what people think of porn and cybering, Gaia is not the place for that. All users agree to a PG-13 conduct when signing-up for the site. This behavior is really outrageous. The cybering threads are driving all the fun, decent people out of The Chatterbox and are becoming a trend that is basically out of control.

We can help make CB a better place.
All I ask of you, is to give us a couple of minutes of your time. Whenever you are bored, or you feel like, check out the first page in the Chatterbox. If you find any threads with people cybering (this include any explicit description of sexual role play), or showing innapropriate pictures, please report it to a purple online Mod.

You will find a list of purple-online Mods, at the end of the "Forums" page. Just send one pm, including the url and title of the cybering thread. You can also include a brief explanation.

It will take 5 minutes and will do much good!

Thanks a lot!!


Sept 28
The bank and the Marketplace are messing up again, and by that I mean there are high probabilities of loosing your items and gold. So use this time to save up some gold. You will be glad you did ^_^




Sept 23
Got a new hairdo!
Look at the pic Suggie made for me heart heart User Image


Sept 22
The word is out! We are having an item update probably today or tomorrow!! So hold on to your pockets and cut your gaian expenses asap! You never know, you might just find the perfect items for you in this update! whee heart



Sept 19
This week the new donation items will be released, what do you think the new items will be??
I wish they are not animal related or nightmare/angelic... blaugh

Also, as always, beware of scammers and keep your password to yourself!



Sept 8
Inventories are acting funny: some people are getting duplicated items, and other people have been missing some of their stuff.

If you have troubles with your inventory, report it here:

Missing & Duplicate ItemBank Error Report Thread

For more information please read:
NOTICE: The Current Issues Are NOT a Rollback!

Regarding Reports of the Alleged Rollback - All Users READ

A rollback is when your commercial transactions are reversed. For example, if you bought a donation letter from someone last week, the letter is gone but the money you paid for it returns to your account.
Many people have reported this happenning to them, however only Admins can perform rollbacks on any account and they do it only in very special cases.
So even when it appears like a lot of people are having rollbacks is just some kind of uber weird glitch xp

Important: remember that duplicated items cannot be sold ot traded, and doing so will result in instant banning gonk



Sept 1

I am back and yes, I missed the first Olympics. Come chat with me and help me bare the pain.
Also, I believe you guys should know the bank is eating our trades again...


August 20

I will not be here next week. I hope that you guys keep an eye on the place! And keep bringing your mug pictures for my gallery! heart


August 15
A new e-mail scam is going on. Some people are receiving e-mails concerning Gaia Beta. Do not respond to such e-mails, do not link on any link such e-mails provide. Just delete them and spread the word. Remember, never give out your password either to anyone claiming to be Administrator or Moderator, ever. Pass it on.
More info here!



August 10
The time has come for the world to see our very own coffee cup and mug gallery!! xd

Yes, I have decided that on this page I want to display coffee mugs or tea cups belonging to all of our regulars. There are many ways of doing this:

1) you can provide an actual picture of your favorite mug or a mug/cup that you like in general (even if it's not yours) 3nodding

2) you can create your own mug/cup if you can work your way around those cute computer graphic art programs... I know can't. gonk

3) if you've got some gold to splurge, you can go to the Mini Shops Forum and buy yourself a gaian-made cup, from some of the shops there.

Two that I could find are:

MagKat Creations: The Coffee Shoppe

Welcome at Teh Café (This one is kinda pricey though sweatdrop )


August 3
Apparently a group of silly gaians thought it was funny to start a chain letter, via pm. Chain letters are not allowed in Gaia and could get you banned. If you receive such a pm, inform the sender that he/she is breaking a rule of the TOS and if you want, report him/her to a Mod for further action.
