I figure it was multiple things.

1. The AtA was out of hand.
2. People talking about the CEO and COO and attacking them personally was getting ridiculous.
3. They needed to address why they are ignoring our concerns--and, well, didn't. But atleast they admitted that they were ignoring out concerns.

Last i checked, they said they were not, and HAVE not been ignoring our concearns. Why the hell s everyone still harping and acting like children? far be it from me to judge by age offline or online but still, they said they have not been ignoring us and so far they have not. Thusly, one can gather that if the majority would just stfu, and let them do their jobs, things might get done for once.

Just because they SAID they aren't ignoring us doesn't mean they actually don't ignore us.
Have you seen the centered site lately? They had a poll about it, asking the users if they wanted a generally centered site for everyone or not (before it was something you could choose as an option so some users had it centered, others didn't). A huge majority of users said they didn't - Gaia made a centered site anyways. The majority of users now seems to have the problem that the site either is shoved somewhere to the right and they have to scroll before they can read anything or that their screens are large enough to see a lot of background picture and a little bit of Gaia somewhere in the middle which looks more stupid than text on the left side and the rest and the unused rest simply being white (or lavender like in the forum's case) - Gaia still want to have their will and keep it as it is now.

Btw, I love that last part of Lanzer's latest announcement. "we've never stop thinking about how to address your concerns, and we're always listening" He forgot to add "Well ... nah, we actually just fart in your general direction

Yeah, and what did they do to "fix" that error. Why, by discontinuing the ATA, of course. If you ask my opinion, discontinuing ATA due to lack of space of bandwidth is a complete lame excuse and BS to me. After all, how many new threads and posts being made per day? If it's because of lack of space, this website would have encountered so many crashes and sushi errors every day.

I doubt about they finding a "better replacement" for the ATA. Because in my opinion, ATA is the only and BEST way to communicate to the people to address the issues. That way, people can get their answers fast and easy.

If they are thinking of a substitute, I think they should do the same way as how DJ Helsing did with his monthly update of Gaia. Read the questions being sent through their email, and address the questions on video. About how often they should do this? Hopefully either once or twice per week since ATA usually do so once a week. However, I doubt they will use that idea... sweatdrop

They keep saying that, but I don't think it means what they think it means.

I actually snorted when I read the 'community pool with a snack bar' metaphor.

Snackbars don't chase us around the pool with advertisements for their snow cones. And they don't scream at you over the loudspeakers over their 53917647th new snack to sell, that you really REALLY need.

I haven't been as active lately, been playing a lot of final fantasy 14, but I logged on the other day to find that my 'my gaia' landing page now had popup style ads for the cash shop. And I clicked through who the hell knows how many announcements for 'flash sales' and whatnot.

get that s**t outta my face, =/
