I've been a loyal gaian since July 16th 2005, in the beginning I wasn't very active in the forums until I finally got out there and encountered the community, at first I was disgusted by how everyone just seemed to live to torment new users and each other through trolling raids where horrendously disgusting and vile images were posted but once I got past that I saw that there were a lot of amazing people who could pull together as a community no matter how bad an apple there was in the whole bunch. Sure grunny invasion was pure unadulterated hell fire as users tormented other users just to fill out the gauge but there were still plenty of people who wanted to just enjoy the event. I admit yes I am in club verge but not because I spent dollar after dollar buying up cash items I got in cause I splurged once in a while beyond my bi monthly 2500 gaia cash allowance at first I took it as a little pat on the back, now I just take it as a slap to the face with s**t being rubbed in my face. I swear to never again buy gaia cash to support the site, I'll turn ad blocker off and face whatever the hell the internet has to throw in my face. Yes Gaia Online is a business but it should be more about the community and less about the all mighty dollar after all I owe this community greatly although I've lost contact with many beloved friends all of them helped me in my darkest period of my life and gave me a reason to live and not end it when I was at my lowest, I have met friends who I would've wanted to share a drink with, enemies I wouldn't have minded to patch things up and people I could've considered family. I've met loved and lost relationships with wonderful women who I do not regret loving regardless of how things turned out and all cause I met them through this community, the community that helped me grow as a person with each encounter to sharpen my mind to what's really important and that I can't just live my life escaping my problems through diversion and indulgences that I cannot even hold in my hands. If all the current CEO cares about is the bottom dollar to fatten up his wallet even more then he does Not even deserve the title the previous management needs to come back but not with the same attitude as before but one that's more refined and focused to making this site what it use to be and Better. my hope is that once the management sees our commitment to wanting change I hope that the site will change for the better
