Profiles
Can we get bug fixes on profile with columns since its sort of glitchy right now and all of the columns for my profile are stuck to the left side. And a few updates and added features to it pertaining to :hover and :active to help bring in newer modernized coding for example: .avatar_decoration, sound_effect:hover {url= 'enter url for sound effects': timespanstart 0.5 timespanend 1.0}. or even more creative ways to bring the audio features into the profiling system.

No immediate fixes, unfortunately, because the profile code is massively complex, but we'll take note of it.

We were promised another one of these a while back, I just want to know what's prevented another one of these from happening yet? Is it a lack of artists being on / in the same area at the same time? is it something us users did? what can we do to make it happen?

Artists are incredibly busy with their work so there hasn't been time set aside to do another ask the artist. But it's something that they still want to do!

Whenever I try to update my guild's homepage, the BBCode gets messed up -- for example, any emotes on the homepage will become text alone (i.e. gaia_star will simply become the word "star"). I now format the guild homepage in a separate post before copying + pasting it back into the editing box, but that's a nuisance. Is there any way that this can be looked into? Many thanks!

Items/Gatcha
MANY users are extremely concerned about wording used in the announcement for the latest Gatcha RIG that these items will be gone for good once the rig is removed from the CS. Can we get clarification on if the prizes ever be available to users after the rig is removed from the CS whether as a detect rerelease, the rig returning to the shop, as prizes from a deflation rig or some other manner?

It is to be determined at this point, at this current moment once it is removed, it is gone like prior CIs.

Without a forum mod of any level, just a couple FAs, is there even any reason to bother reporting misplaced threads in the Paws forum, or is it just a waste of time? (does somebody elsewhere process the reports and move the threads?)

The inventory system doesn't know about gameplay data such as when kins are added to the party. That's a tricky one that only LionHeart can answer if it can be done or not.

Will the inclusion of achievements in the Gatcha volumes become a regular thing? Please say no, please say no
The answer is "yes", being that Gatcha is not the same as other Chance Items types. 3nodding
If that's the case, will the drop rates be adjusted for future Gatchas?
That is something I cannot give a specific answer for, unfortunately.

The concern is that most achievements have not been tied to Cash Shop items, meaning anyone can earn them regardless of whether they spend a large amount of Cash on the site. Making certain achievements Gatcha-only changes that, essentially putting some achievements behind a paywall. Better not to mix the two.
We completely understand that this is idea, but the whole concept behind Gatcha is to make the collection. It would just be a bonus for those who enjoy about 25% of those items that are not collecting, but it's a reward for using Gatcha as a collect-them-all as a game.
There is also the Agate Ticket that you could purchase to make your own achievement, so it's not the first time that achievements have had a GC value of sorts.

Hi! So I'm currently having this issue with my account preferences. I unchecked my Equipped List, yet it still is visible even after I saved changes. I've had other issues with my settings saving, where I check/uncheck something and save it, but it doesn't work as intended until several weeks later (if at all). Is there a workaround for this?

Hey, I have been meaning to bring this up at the ask admit for a while, but I always seem to miss it by an hour. I was wondering if anything could be done to fix up the guilds a bit? The forum is so squished together that coding that works just fine in CB or regular forums don't fit and get squashed in guilds. Or it will break the forum and stretch the entire page out. Me and my friend use guilds for role playing but a lot recently we have been noticing this a lot more. Is there any way to fix this?

Sorry but that game is currently not being supported, and it'll take quite a bit of time for me to fix it, much like zOMG. If enough Gaians ask for the game back, I'll look into it, otherwise for now I'm still trying to add more content to zOMG itself.

Towns 1. At first i thought it was over-harvesting of bugs. Now it might be just wandering through too many frames, or, a time limit (ie bugs stop after x number of hours)

Hi there,
Various factors including (but not limited to):
The staff that is present
How many questions there are
Has it been answered before (maybe in a different form)?
Is there an answer (yes, there are questions we just don't have an answer to at the time it was asked)?
Hi,
um if it's something that already has an answer possibly in a past ATS, how do we find that out? i don't always get to join.
I know one of my questions was asked by multiple people tonight, so i'm guessing it was brought up before as well.

A few years back we were told towns 1 was gonna be taken down and gotten rid of.
Cause I can think of some pros and cons to this.
Towns 1 being removed;
pros;
○ No more harassment and attacking over anon town topics = less complaining from people like me XD (I'm a big one for the complaining about it ; x; since its mostly my friends and me being targeted) cause lets be honest.....being able to harass and shame someone anonymously is messed up....theres no way to defend yourself or report whoever's doing it.
○ topic spam being a thing of the past
cons;
people losing chances to hang around areas in larger groups without the horrible lag that towns 2 has.
forcing us to use friendchats which only lets you post a limited amount of words per bubble.

So I really dug the alien even where we solved riddles and such for prizes. It had it flaws, but it was different and I appreciated it for that. For future events, would you all consider doing something like that again? Not exactly the same necessarily, but anything different from the events that essentially come down to spamming the forums would be greatly appreciated. Even more of a twist, maybe the prize isnt even an item in some case? Maybe the lead up to a new feature, or a secret video. Im all for hype and novelty, lol. just a thought.

Do you understand how some might see making certain achievements Gatcha-only as putting them behind a paywall? In general past achievements had no connection.to.real money, so all one had to do was put in the effort or gold to get them.

Not saying that I'm not taking your feedback into consideration, but I want to bring up a counter point that I'm curious your thoughts on:
Because gatcha is an item, could one not get the achievement through effort and gold by buying the items off the marketplace?

Features? Restructure Account Settings pages
Can all of the preference pages be updated. Some parts feel a little disjointed and some of the preference stuff isn't necessary. For instance Alerts and Notifications could be combined into a single page. I think for clarity security could go on it's own page.
Also it feels very squished with the way account preferences are, I think maybe an accordion style menu would be appropriate. Then you could list them vertical, giving each section the same amount of space so that it's not all bunched up.

Basically i'm asking if we would have to rebuild by scratch or not and if we do have to will our gold be refunded to help us rebuild?
