please come sign my request to stop gaia from using POP-UP's

just say no to pop-up ads

Just a reminder:
This thread is for Gaians to voice why they are sick of the GC pushes and the flynnflation and all the problems that come with both.

Ads are necessary for the business to be funded. Especially if they stop pushing GC they will be relying on ads to bring in revenue. You may not like the popups but your post is not relevant to this thread. Advertise your petition somewhere else. (Am I the only one who appreciates the irony here?)

It isn't for all ads just pop-up ones that Gaia uses for advertising flash sales and all that GC stuff. This is something many people have had problem with. Ads are fine, the pop-ups ones that show up in My Gaia for flash sales aren't.

Ads our a very important part of gaia, and all websites. I would never ask for them to stop using ads. It is business and is needed to run this site. The only ads I have a problem with as do may Gaians is Gaia pop-ups that adblocker's can not block. That link is as said above only for the one ad type. I can see ads on all websites, but Gaia is the only one that pop-ups and it is very annoying. I have however not said anything more on here about this because I did not wish to spam this thread. I did e-mail the forum owner after I posted that link. Letting her know it was there and asking if she put it on the front page. If she cares to delete it, that is also her choose. I have no intent on posting the link again

I think you accidentally quoted me, but I can't tell if it was actually directed at me or ther other user. sweatdrop

How can the site fully function without GC? Just the releases of MC's isn't enough to keep this site going. It's a hard decision but this is a better way to keep gaia afloat.

We are not asking the site to get rid of GC. I can't speak for everyone in the thread, but if I sport an anti-GC image in my sig, it means I am not pulling money out of my own pocket, and they will not receive any of my money until I see changes.

Maybe some users do want to get rid of GC all together, but that is not the point of this thread. Hope that clears up any misunderstandings. 3nodding

Oh okay, that's a bit better,

the other user I do think, as your the one who was pointing out it was not for all ads right?

[Stolen Apathy]

It angers me as well, i don't buy gaia cash.
However, if it bothers you then you can leave the site.

Right! I even signed it. From what she said, it is clear she didn't read the original post on the petition page. Lol xp

i think gaia is trying to kill this site so people will go to this new site when it opens.

I've suspected this is part of an exit strategy as well. Thing is if they're trying to draw traffic to the new site by killing off the old one in this manner it won't work out. People will have such a terrible taste in their mouth from how Gaia ended they'll be hesitant to try out the new site.


At this point, though, I have to wonder how much it will mimic the current Gaia model. If it's going to be like this I say at this point make it a subscription instead of "free to play but we'll nickel and dime you".

►►Dear Gaia,
If you will earn back my loyalty by showing me that you hear your users' cries and make appropriate action to win back my trust, I will turn all of my adblockers off permanently.

ALSO, I AM BLOCKING FLYNN. WHO's WITH ME? ◄◄

Yeah, they're working on an 18+ website. There was a survey a while back asking adults what type of body shapes the avatar should have and it had a huge backlash. The biggest issues of the survey were art theft and body shaming by using abusive language about certain body types.

well...I wouldn't mind an Adult Gaia online. o.o

You can already curse, make extremely sexual avatars, post questionable pictures, discuss adult themes, and describe blood and gore in detail. Gaia is pretty much already an adult site, given the features and the associated items. (Box of Totally Innocent Objects Item, NPC Underwear items, etc.) The only thing they're really missing is pornography, which would just be weird to include. You can just browse DeviantART for that (though, uh "artful." )

[Kezendia Vandelbelk]

I wonder if the items on here would not be transferable onto the new site.
If they were to add-on extra shapes (according to the body type) to the items currently existing, it would be a long work.


Anyway I think I'll try blocking Flynn as well.
I don't want to see it, hear it, or read its low-life style of writing.
