1. Are there any plans to re-release '03 Monthly Collectibles in the Cash Shop for an upcoming "sale" or event like the recent re-release of the Angelic Halo?

Ignored Again.


2. Are there any gold sinks planned to counteract the inflation in the MP due to several releases of Flynn's Booty?

Blue Group

1. Are there any plans for a relaunch of a store with IRL Gaia merchandise? There are members that have items like the OMG plushie and lots of Gaia merchandise that they still have and love to this day.

Not asked.

2. Would it be possible for the staff to stop pushing CS sales in the dev alerts or create a special "Sale Alert" for CS sales? Those of us who have dev alerts have them because we want updates on upcoming features, bugfixes, improvements to features, and feedback about our error reports.

Yes. Gaia is looking into ways to separate Sale Alerts.

1. It seems that Gaia is struggling financially, which seems to be causing disgruntled members and staff alike. Are the current methods (PMing about sales, adverts in Dev Alerts; popup ads, etc.) currently effective in keeping up the cashflow? Or are these experiments made in the hope of finding something more effective?

Asked and answered with a non-answer.

2. Why are you continually introducing more gold into an over-inflated economy? Is this an effort to make gold useless and force us to buy Gaia Cash?

Unanswered.

3. Have you considered turning some of the GC items into gold-sink items?

Unanswered.

1. Are you using money from Gaia to fund the new 18-plus "sister site" that's coming soon?

Unanswered.

*****************

This week, there were plenty of questions about Flynn's body parts, and a notable Admin response HERE. Needless to say, the reaction to this response was overwhelmingly NOT GOOD.

Of particular note this week was THIS POST from our very own frozen_water. It warranted a vast amount of attention, and the Admin response left a lot of us scratching our heads.

1. Will the new inventory arranger be able to sort items by descriptors such as "eyes"; "background"; "wig"; etc.? Can we expect to see it soon?

Inventory arranger is still being tested.

2. Why did you implement "Special Popup Offers" (aka pop-up ads) and pre-roll ads in Flash Spaces, when it was obvious people consider those types of ads to be intrusive and problematic for some computers?

Some people can't even get into the Flash Spaces now, because of these pre-roll ads. For some, it takes forever to get into the Friends/Guild Flash Space because I have to reload to get in, and the ads restart when you reload, so we're stuck waiting for almost five minutes, as opposed to when it originally took ten seconds.

Will there ever be an option to disable these flash ads?

1. Other than more money, can you tell us why you joined up with an anime site that required Gaia to be centered? It was obvious that most people didn't want it centered, because you had a poll that indicated most people want it left-aligned, despite the way you chose to interpret the poll results.

Also, why have we not heard who this mysterious "popular anime site" is yet, even though the Centered Site has already been rolled out?

Answer from Lanzer

2. Is there any consideration being given to nerfing Smashblox? Some time back, aquariums were for "putting too much gold into the economy and causing inflation," but Smashblox is paying out over a billion a day to its pay-to-win users! How can we get Smashblox nerfed?

Possibly....

Of particular note this week was Omega's blanket statement, leaving no room for doubt that Flynn and her various body parts WILL be returning.
