Wanna hear some REAAAAALLY interesting stories from an oldbie?

I should tell you aaaaall about Gaia Personals feature that no longer exists 8D!

You know when you look at the map of Barton on the world map or wander Barton in zOMG- that building with the pink heart on it with LOVE written on it? That used to link to the personals feature which had four options in it, as illustrated here:

You clicked on these and it would take you to a board where you could browse or post ads for interest looking for friendship or romance.

I don't think you could respond here- 'responding' would send the poster a PM response.

Guess why it got shut down 8D

'Will cybr 4 gldz'
'NE1 WnA CYBR? AIM IZ XXXXXXXX'

A lot of the ads were innocent enough, but it was attracting less than reputable adults and causing all kinds of problems.

It would be funnier if it weren't so sad.








      I just noticed, Cupid went through puberty fast. xD

There's actually two cupids. They used both of them for the last V-day event C:

They've never really explained why there's two. I think it's more like Cupid and Assistant, at least that's how I've always understood it.

      For some odd reason, I like the uglier cupid more.

They never once thought that would lead to bad things?

The uglier cupid is funnier to me, so I dunno- he's kinda creepy though xD

And I don't know what Gaia was thinking when they released personals originally. Especially with that layout. It was worse once you actually clicked inside- it just SCREAMED 'ask for sex' while you were there D;

The old man cupid totally has sex appeal

      Maybe Gaia wanted to appeal to adult users?

No idea. It was set up like 'Look for a boyfriend or girlfriend' but I mean, just LOOK AT THAT SPLASH PAGE- it looks just like one of those damn popups that everyone sees for the 'casual fling' sex search sites x3

They were practically asking for it.
