July 23rd, 2019: Lanzer Le Him Artists What is the possibility that you guys would be hiring any new artists at this time? I submitted my portfolio a long time ago and assumed no response meant you weren’t hiring, but wondering if anything has changed since? No positions are available at this time, perhaps later when more resources are available. it amy Shallotte MarketingHave you guys considered sending an email to all existing accounts with some sort of incentive attached? This would be an effective, low cost method to bring back some customers. Sure, perhaps a bunch people won't stay- but the ones that do will likely spend some money. There is over a million inactive(unbanned) accounts; and it would be really good to dip into that pool and invite people back all at the exact same time. Which would make the site a lot more active while those people visit- which would make it a lot more attractive. Which would be ESPECIALLY beneficial during the summer event. Yes! It's been done in the past and there are plans for it in the future as we do get closer to summer event. You read our mind wink I can't necessarily say that it's cheap, but we do find value in e-mails when we have the time to really focus on them.

August 20th, 2019: Lanzer What Happens At Night GeneralWhat is the sites financial status? Would you guys consider having a monthly quota for members to know how much you guys need to stay afloat? I think this would give members a better idea of what is happening on this site and make members feel more comfortable with giving their hard earned money to the site. Resources are tight but we're very lucky to receive continued support from many of you every month. I'll talk to the team about your idea. Thank you.

September 17th, 2019: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: GeneralThe previous ATS said any fangame that would be sold for profit, would need to contact Gaia for a publishing deal. How would one go about that? You can PM Lanzer if you plan to release a game based on Gaia asset for sale. Typically we just needed to make sure the game doesn't break TOS.

September 24th, 2019: Yuroppa ElegantlyLuminous Misc.A few ATSes ago, I think someone asked about whether you would ever consider accepting volunteer pixel artists. Any updates on this? I have some completed kin spritesheets/equips/etc. that I'd love to send your way! I've learned some information on this, but there's still no definite conclusion yet.

November 19th, 2019: Lanzer Astraealys Question Category: Site Is there anything you're going to do to try and increase user engagement in the forums and bring in old and new players? The community seems to be in a decline as of late. We have quite a few ideas on what we want to do in order to give a new user a better experience on Gaia. Main issues to tackle are: - On-boarding experience and complexity - Economy and inflation - Web page design and style - Avatar style We do have a lot of potential projects that include creating a better feed system, site redesign, and potential user generated item creation to facilitate new avatars and a different economy behind it. We're busy with managing the core events right now but we're putting together more resources for creating a better experience down the road.

November 26th, 2019: Lanzer SOURlS Art So I know this was months ago but did ll those artists finally get paid??????? Most artists have been paid but we're still paying more artists month by month. Pacing is frustratingly slow, but we're getting there and apologies for the long wait. Lanzer Reiko Iwamaru Lutfi MiscHow much help do you need at the gaia offices right now? Is it possible for someone to help remotely ? We definitely need help with coding, though we're training a contractor team to help with development tasks right now so that should allow me to put more time onto features. Thank you for asking

December 23rd, 2019: Lanzer GTools FeatureWould you be willing to include Gaia Tools in the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header for GSI requests? Right now it's set to all (*), but when making a CORS request with credentials to have the cookies sent, the browser blocks reading the response. Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at ‘http://gaiaonline.com/chat/gsi/index.php?v=json&m=[[700]]’. (Reason: Credential is not supported if the CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ is ‘*’). Just PM me with the domain or IP that you wish to be added and we can make it happen. Lanzer tetsiga2245 MISC: As someone returning after about 6 years or so, are there any pointers you could give to a Gaian who is reliving the noob experience? Not the most thoughtful question, I know, but im just feeling a little lost after all this time. Are there any articles you could link me to to assist with making signatures, setting new profile layouts, or anything relating to BB code. gonk heart Also, happy Holidays to all you wonderful people still trying to make Gaia great. That is a good question. I don't have all the info at hand, but I'll put together some resource for all users moving forward.

December 30th, 2019: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back to the last ATS of 2019! Quote: FeaturesDuring the last ATS, I had asked the Gaia Go app question about PMs. Personally, I don't use the IM feature because I allow PMs from anyone, not just friends. So, personally, would prefer PMs being implemented to mobile, but others might use the IM service... so would it be possible to perhaps make a community vote out of whether IM should be implemented to the website? Yes we will ask community for feedback on IM for the webpage, meanwhile we will be working on PM for the mobile app

January 7th, 2020: Lanzer Kiro_Shinigami FeaturesWould it ever be possible to have unlimited blocks and unlimited friends? Reason I ask this is because some people are nuts and make tons of mules to harass people. I mean one person went after me and aparantly had 100+ alt accounts and keeps making tons of new ones. I just like to be able to block everyone that even looks at me funny..its just safety. Same for unlimited friends, Some people may want to have over 500 friends. Perhaps something to think on for the future <3 GeneralI hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and will have an epic 2020! The friendlist feature will need an update to host an unlimited amount of friends. Hope you have a great 2020 also! Lanzer sup-qt Misc non fun things sorry
Heya, how's Gaia going with paying back the ex staff from way back that didn't get their pay? We're getting closer, still paying back month by month. Hope to be able to say all outstanding balances are paid off later in the year.

January 14th, 2020: Lanzer Evil_Heartless_Moogle Misc.I just recently came back after watching a youtube video and saw that Lanzer was back in charge and fixing the issues Goldemort did (THANK YOU). There's not a lot of forum movement nowadays and was wondering if there's any plans in the future to advertise Gaia to bring back old users and new ones? We do want to do some advertising but at the same time we want to make some more improvements before we spend the money, especially on the mobile app. PS- Welcome back!

January 21st, 2020: Lanzer The Iron Magus FeaturesHello, staff! So I recently stumbled back upon the invite function. I see that there are already some rewards for inviting folk, but are there any other ways we can incentivize existing users to invite newcomers to the site? I know this is tricky, since the system could be gamed. We'll need to do some brainstorming to come up with new ways to incentivize invites. Thanks for suggesting. Lanzer The Iron Magus RecruitmentHey, in case you haven't noticed, I'm interested in attracting new users to the site. What's the best way we users on the ground can boost enrollment? Just spamming invites to our friends and acquaintances, or is there a better way? eek I'll revisit the current invite system and see about making a better experience for you and anyone that is invited. Thank you for offering to help!

January 28th, 2020: Lanzer occult dad Events Is it possible to do a "kickstarter" sort of event with the eventual goal of paying back the artists? It would be a lot of fun as a community to work towards that goal if at all possible. I'll check with Bluecow about the progress on the payments and talk about your idea. Thank you.

February 4th, 2020: Lanzer Screaming Butter FeaturesIdk if this allowed so I wanted to ask first (and I love gaia's current arists btw) but is there anyway we can use the gaia workshop to help hire on more artists so the workload for project custom wasn't held back as much? and it could help bring more art onto the site or maybe a different fundraiser, I know it was said they needed time to train people so maybe that might help Not sure if that can be done as the feature and the team behind it works quite differently than the art team, but it's worth a discussion. Thank you for the suggestion. Lanzer ok retard I'm not so sure this fits into one of the categories but... When I first used gaia back in 07, (if I recall correctly) there were up to tens of thousands of members online at a time. Are there strategies/ideas currently in place or being discussed to help bring that kind of activity back to the site? It's a ways away but we do want to make the current mobile app much better and more comprehensive so that we can introduce it to new, potential users. Though production had been slow, it's something that we want to get to.
