Is the VIP Convention Club completely dead/abandoned at this point, or is there a chance for someone else to pick it back up? surprised

I... Totally forgot this guild was a thing. sweatdrop I can't imagine we'd be doing anything with it anytime soon, unfortunately. The people who were in charge of it don't work here anymore.

AtS

Just wanted to point out that there have been weeks when there was no AtS but no notice given on staff alerts. Can it be more consistent with the notices. I'm guessing the weeks where it's been missing were weeks where Zero was out.

I can't recall a time where we haven't given notice of there not being an ATS, the only thing that does come to mind is when we know ahead of time that there won't be an ATS when we announce our normal ATS, we'll mention that in the usual ATS announcement.

For example:
https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-community-discussion/staff-updates/t.63632027_2289/#2289


I know you guys usually announce it but there have been at least two weeks where I came home on a Tuesday to no AtS and no staff alert about it.

I honestly don't recall a time we have missed that, I'm sure it's probably possible if we've been crazy busy or something, but I know we typically try to get a message out before ATS starts that we'll be delaying it.

Your announcements max out the 5 cap in 5 hours or less more often than not. I just can't get on that often, so I was hoping you could consolidate them and/or raise the cap slightly. I want to read them, and hate missing some that scroll beyond the cap limit before I log back on.


We'll look into having a cap that can be adjusted in user settings.

do staff members disable their quote notices during AtS?


Hi there,

I can't speak for others but unless I'm directly participating in something depending on how busy I am with other projects I may or may not see what just pinged me. Eventually I will, but it may be up to a day or so later.

Could you give us a time frame for when emails to the user events team will be replied to?

This year’s AURB is supposed to begin August 3rd and we’ve sent emails, but nothing has been answered. Please get back to us soon.


Hello.

I apologize for the delay I, unfortunately, had to say goodbye to my cat today so I have been away from my computer. I did reach out to my team last week for what we can do so please hang on for an e-mail first thing in the morning.

Thanks.

Does the staff ever pay a vist to the Site Feedback forum? Because here are some threads you should pay attention to:
Older Event Item Recolors for Loyals?
Lisa's Rainbow
A new Gateway! and possibly a Loyal's Bazaar update?
Monthly Changes For Golden Catch?


We do frequent site feedback, sorry we haven't been active in replying but we had been keeping each other updated on issues from everyone's feedback in the forum.

Could someone check the Usertalk email inbox and reply to me as soon as they can?

I sent a detailed email to Usertalk almost four weeks ago and a reminder email last Friday; the event I wanted spotlighted ends in less than a week, and we would love to secure a single site-wide announcement to promote it. Site-wide announcements are how we bring in the bulk of our benefactors and new members, so we're always grateful to receive them. Thank you!

It's been forwarded along!

What’s the best place to leave feedback on what items we’d like to see, or comments on how cash shop releases are done?


What Items Would You Like to See Re-Released?
What would you like to see in Rococo?
These two threads may interest you!

Features?

It's been a long time since a 'State of the Website' kind of announcement was made. I mean the thing where each aspect of the site was talked about re:plans. For example, it would talk about the status of the mobile app and how much longer it's expected to be before its released. It'd also talk about the server migration, what the end of flash will mean for parts of the site, what games are being turned into html5 versions currently, what big bugs have been fixed lately, whats happening with gold and plat and inflation, and what part of the site Gaia is revamping or releasing soon.

Could someone in the know set up a quarterly State of the Website announcement/site notice?

That sounds like a good idea, we will put together an announcement later.

Why are Tuesdays the chosen day for ask the staff, under normal circumstances that is


Hi there,

Monday's don't work so well due to our being back after a weekend and playing catch up. Friday's don't work because at the end of the week we are usually wrapping things up. Wednesday and Thursday just seem to be late in the week, so Tuesday gets it smile

Is Announcements capping at 10 again, instead of 5, intentional? What's the reasoning behind it? Would you consider putting it back down to 5? It was a lot less scary of a number to be constantly full


We had a lot of servers issues last week and the limit was raised because people had trouble catching them. We will set it back down soon.

Is it possible to get a tad more staff involvement in site feedback? There are a few threads every so often that have really valid points and concerns


Hi there,

I quite often post in Site Feedack, GCD and Bug Reports. Unfortunately I don't have answers to all things posted but if there is something you think needs attention please send me a PM and I'll check it out. I can't guarantee to fix it, but will see if there is anything I can do.


Lanzer
Halcyone ter Avest
Miscellaneous

With a new year comes the ability to set in motion new things. There have been changes implemented on Gaia that are often not mentioned via staff alert, and can often be found via staff post in places such as Site Feedback, Lanzer's journal, and Gaia Community Discussion, such as the disabling of coding in gift messages. Could a devlog become a thing at the end of a week that lists all changes, be they major or minor? Or at least an alert that leads back to Lanzer's journal with the changes he publishes?


Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into a change log type of listing for keeping track of our features and bug fixes.

I'm aware there's an email if we have an user event we want to be announced, but in case we don't get a response, is there a staff who checks on them or to contact?

Two of the staffs I know have left Gaia, so I like to know who will hold up the mantle in case us users are hosting user events.


Hi there,

I can look into it. Please send me a PM with details on the email you sent.

Have you sent something to the e-mail yet? (I checked and have not seen anything :O)

You're always welcome to message me as well! (Whether you just want to user private messages as our form of communication, or to just poke me to check the inbox!)

Oh, we haven't send the email yet (we're still in the process of planning.) I'm just curious who's currently check the user event email when the previous staff left as well as being prepared in case of lack of response through email.

it me!

So there are many times when I like to use older items. Items for which the artists may no longer be present on Gaia. In these cases, when I find a bug in the item and post it in the item bugs thread, is it looked at? Who fixes the artistless items? Who is this superhero willing to fix one of the longest standing bugs that ruins a favourite avi:
User Image

We still fix issues with older items! If the original artist is no longer around, someone else usually takes a look at it. But unfortunately not everything can be fixed.

As far as I know, the glitch thread is mostly up to date. If you posted something a while ago that hasn't received a response, go ahead and repost it for us to look into!

Is there anything we users can do to help out here? Besides donating.

Are there projects you can't get to we could help with? Would it help if we compiled lists of references for interesting themes? Compile lists with minimal help from staff that could be useful, like the guides in Guides and Resources but with some confirmation. Lists of anything really? Can we all brainstorm some ideas for a cool community project that might help bring in new members? There is a fan animation project idea, does that seem interesting?

(I asked near the end of last week but figured there wasn't enough time to answer. Also I say lists because that's what I can do but I'm sure people would love to do all sorts of things. I saw someone mention giving royalties to Gaia if they could do merch, though I know that's a tricky one)


Thank you for the offer. We currently have our hands full in the current projects, but if we have the bandwidth to involve the Gaia community in any aspect I will definitely not hesitate to ask. Will check out the animation project later today.
