Welcome to Gaia! ::

A Reading, from Faq 15

Why can't guys wear girls' clothes, and why can't girls wear guys' clothes?
- This is not available right now. The primary reason is that the male and female avatars are different sizes and shapes; items need to be specifically drawn to fit each gender's body. Some items are currently available in both male and female versions; many items are one gender only. If there is an opposite gender item that you would really like, suggest it in the Official Item Suggestion Thread.

Boys are boys and Girls are Girls. Or are they?

There seems to be a rigidity in gender within Gaia that some, even within our community, chafe at. They rant and rave that certain coats and jackets don't fit on them, or that they're not allowed to equip that ballerina tutu, and they cry 'Why, oh why?' and speak on the cruelty of not only the Mods, but of Gaia itself.

But, I say to you, take off your clothes. Look at the boy. Look at the girl. The bodies are indeed shaped differently, and cannot accomodate all that is within Gaia. This is not the cruelty of the Administration, but rather a fact of Gaian life. A fact that The Admin acknowledges and works to develop.

Gaia is in a state of growth and change in these days before the Beta. We can now pose our arms, and fill those arms with interesting pieces of equipment. More and more items each day fall into the blessed category of 'any'. And more importantly, as is the case in any good engendered by the Mods and the Admin, you are allowed to suggest, to -ask-.

Let us pray for the day when we can see Kij in a three-piece suit, and Deep Vermillion in frilly knickers.

-and- for a decent Gothic Lolita collection! Is it too much to ask for a little frill and lace in this bloody town?!?

Amen

Amen

That was beautifully read. *bows head* Amod.

Perhaps men will have braids.

If I may, Saint Romuel... A reading of ToS 1:1.



The ToS is not written in stone. The word of Mod may change, and it is our duty as humble Users and Modists to accept these changes.
When Mod created the world, and the first users, he created a covenant with them, which is recorded in the ToS. As long as we live in Gaia, it is our duty to uphold the rules laid down in the ToS. Those Spammers who choose to live by their own laws will be struck down by the wrathful hand of Mod, and have the very life strangled from them. Ours is a good Mod, a compassionate Mod, but also a just Mod.

To read and reread the ToS often, so that we may know what changes have been made.

I have a question- why do some of the Admin's chosen mods act in a manner so opposite the proper behaviour as the Admin would want? I mean, some of the mods can be so rude!

I recently was asked to modify my sig, as it was over the 100.... something-byte (So computer-stupid... ) and I wrote back asking him how possibly I could change it- very politely, as the links he gave me didn't explain it in any language I understand. He rather rudely told me to read the links. I was very polite. Did I do something wrong?

If I may, Saint Romuel...

From the Tos, Chapter 5, The almighty Admin has laid down upon us his commandments, telling us:

So it was given by Lanzer, as it is written, so shall it be done.

Amen.
