Does anyone know the email address for the quotation notification so I can try and add it to my safe list? Hotmail isn't getting any emails from Gaia and I used to ALWAYS get my notification messages.

You should be able to whitelist the entire gaiaonline.com domain, I don't recall the notification e-mail off the top of my head.

Can we have a like option for people's statuses? Sometimes people post stuff and it would be nice to acknowledge that I saw it.

Not likely to happen with everything else going on, sorry!

Odd question, way out of left field, but are there any plans to update features like Journals in the future? I'm not sure how often that they're used on here -- personally, I think I use mine every six months or so, as an emergency storage space for art that I don't have a chance to save right off -- but I think that with a facelift, they might be something that get used more often.


Things like Guilds will probably get a facelift before Journals. I use it every week and I'd love to see an overhaul myself.

Is there any chance of a "Mark as Un/Read" button for PMs?

Shouldn't be too hard to build, but it's something we'd have as a low priority unless a lot of other Gaians wanted it.

Is an option to opt-out of Daily Stamps in the works? I'd probably be fine if there was just an option to sell the stamps but since they're soulbound, it's wasting my time to open them and trash them.
I want an orderly, small inventory and stamps are really starting to become spam.


We're working on easier way to trash/sell items in the inventory. We can work on an opt out but I think the former is the more requested feature.

whats going on with getting new mods on gaia? i put in an app months ago and after i did the system blocked me on the nda page
are you guys going to try to get new mods soon or is there some kind of new or updated moderation system going into place that don't need mods? or needs fewer mods? as gaia really could use more mods or an improved system
some clarification on when we could see new mods would be appreciated

We still plan on bringing in new mods, the team has been busy lately so we haven't had time to actively work through it, but that will be changing in the near future.

Could Gaia give us an update on Journals that will allow us to sort different journal entries into sections/chapters/etc ? I really want to keep a idea journal on gaia but I don't want to dedicate my entire gaia journal to ideas, instead I would like to sort all of the ideas into their own category. As the Journal feature currently stands the entries themselves are all displayed together in one blob and it looks messy.


I would love to have that feature too. Though right now we still have a few big ticket items to work on. Will take a while to get to journals.

Under "Account Preferences" / "Private Messages" / "Receive PMs", there's several options which can be chosen using radio buttons. While it does makes sense for "yes, no, friends only", it's not the case anymore for the "exclude gaia promotions". Can you consider switching that last option as a checkbox on it's own instead?

We'll revisit if we end up doing something that has use for the setting.

Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to lower the PM timeout?
I get a lot of Pm's and it takes a long time to write back to them all because of the timeout.
A lot of the times I fail to send important Pm's because its stuck on that ERROR MESSAGE screen and I walked away from my computer. Can it be more tame like how it is in forums?


I think there might be a bug with the PM flood control. let me try to fix it tonight.

If Zero is around, could you give me an email address to whitelist so I can start getting emails from gaia again? Hotmail apparently really does not like Gaia.

I think Hotmail let's you whitelist the entire domain, so just @gaiaonline.com

Will another site apart from Photobucket be whitelisted by Gaiaonline (showing images without the police emoji) now that said site has updated its ToS?

Imgur should be whitelisted now.

Will the image description for pg-13 white list be changed? Since you guys added imgur, its sow a false statement as that site allows porn and gore.

Here is what it currently says
Quote:
PG-13 Whitelisted Images will only display images from trusted sources with active moderation for explicit content, like Photobucket. Non-whitelisted images will be replaced with a link

Looks like we'll have to change the description on that. Unless you happen to know of any sites that do allow third-party linking, would be something that a large amount of people use, and does active moderating of uploaded content.

The intern / job position you posted a staff alert about today, if you can say, is it a paid or unpaid intern position?


All internship positions are paid positions.

Will the "whitelist" of image hosters allowed in Gaia Online will be updated and/or new hosters will be added to it after the whole "Photobucket" fiasco ?

Hope I asked right. If not, feel free to delete this question.


Yes we do need to add more hosts. We did add imgur and if there are others please let me know.

So zero you ever look into that https://ko-fi.com/ and decide whether we can put links in our signatures/profiles etc. after all?

I didn't, apologies, it's something we'll still look at.

Misc. Email Notifications

Will your email notifications alerts ever come back again? I used them quite often when there were certain alerts with Gaia, members, friends and now since it's gone, it's harder for me and possibly other users to track things when out and about.


We disabled it after we had some trouble with email services thinking that we were sending spam. I'll re-enable it once we setup a good opt-in for notifications.

Is there a current CEO for Gaia? Who is it? Do we already know hem? I heard whispers of there indeed being a CEO in the SF last month, but this is something that's gone completely unmentioned since your return Lanzer. Exactly who is CEO, how did they get there, how much control do they have over you, and how much power do you actually currently have at Gaia?


Technically, Gaia Interactive's CEO is Bluecow, he handles all accounting and business related stuff. I had always been CTO where I handle all the programming and features related to Gaia. We all work as a team and nobody force decisions on anybody else. There might have been business decisions that were undesired, but usually they're due to revenue and resource, not someone being greedy or mad.
