Welcome to Gaia! ::

It seems there is something sinister going on under the surface here at Gaia Online. This botting incident from March 10, 2008 is but one link in a chain of botting/banning strikes.

Could there be a conspiracy here??

GaiaOnlineSucks.com offers some interesting perspectives on Gaia's insidious actions. The site asserts that the subversion of Gaia users is orchestrated by Gaia staff. Why all this subterfuge?

In addition, the incidents of hacking and scamming have escalated to such a degree that Gaia has been overwhelmed with user complaints and hacking forms. As a result, users are left with a banned accounts while Gaia's limited staff has to sort through a long queue of complaints. It is obvious that they are backlogged since some users have reported that months have gone by and still no word from Gaia about the status of their case.

I think that users need to find a way to contact Gaia directly in a much more personal manner to express their outrage and demand some kind of justice.

This is what have been suggesting to users for the most part.

It might help to call Gaia directly. PH: 408-436-9205

I think people would need to have more patience. I mean try being in their place. Tons of people being hacked everyday and soo many people complaining about themselves being hacked. They will need a lot of time to complete such a big task. I know it sucks cause I had an account before and got hacked. My oldest account which I made like a year ago. I really really need it back cause its starting to get old and old accounts have like a lot of value to me. So I search for users who give out their accounts for free, which are old. But enough about that, my point is that we should be patient although it is taking so long, I know deep inside that gaia is trying their best. (although I have this other feeling saying that gaiaonline has a very selfish admin and only thinks about ITSELF and doesn't really care about other people and are really happy that gaians are getting their accounts hacked cause other wise they end up making new accounts and buying their monthly collectibles again and agian, which might make people think that gaiaonline is actually hiring hackers to hack other people just for the money, but I think that isn't true so I wrote the other one instead smile )
