Lisa garnet carnation's Gaian News
hello fellow jellyfish, im Lisa garnet carnation bringing you the hot news from gaia this month!
QuestsPart three of the Nancy Drew quest: pick up a cool item! Tsubasa quiz. win free item.NewsHey, have you checked out the Salon lately? Looks like ol' Vanessa has learned some fancy new tricks...
The long-awaited Salon update is finally upon us, and it's even cooler than you expected. Not only are there a bunch of hot new hairstyles, but they come in twice as many colors!
From now on, each new hairstyle will have two color variations: light and dark. These can be sorted just as they could before: for example, clicking the "blue" tab in the Salon would show you both the light blue and the dark blue hair variations.
As for the new styles, we've got seven great new looks to choose from, and in my honest and studied opinion it is the best Salon update of all time. My personal favorite is the "Salaryman" look, combining furious eyebrows with dignified male pattern baldness. It's not for everybody, but it definitely has its uses.
To see them all, go visit the lovely Vanessa and her busy scissors at
Salon Durem.
And now, a SPECIAL BONUS ANNOUNCEMENT tacked on to the Salon update FOR SOME REASON:
We've also released a new system which will let members bring much-deserved attention to their favorite profiles, journals, homes, and guilds. If you see a great profile, journal, home or guild, and you'd like to recommend it to be spotlighted, here's how to do it:
For profiles: click the "recommend" button in the black bar at the top of the profile.
For homes: currently, you can only recommend homes from the "Home Preview" in a person's profile.
For journals: click the "recommend" link in the journal navigation.
For guilds: click the "Recommend this Guild" link in the top-right of any guild page.
We'll definitely be looking at your picks when we choose spotlight items for the home page, so please feel free to show us your favorite stuff!
Suzuka anime showing now at gaia theaters.Contests! Shojo Beat's 'Beat Girl' Contest + Gaia Film Fest!June 2007 monthly collectables. halo, cloud and zodiac!Hey, guys! We wanted to give you some advance notice about a couple of important changes that you'll be seeing on Gaia very soon.
For a while now, we've wanted to simplify how username colors of Gaia staff and Moderators appear around the site. We're about to make things way easier to understand:
In brief, there are going to be 2 main colors for people that are here to help; Green for Moderators and Orange for Administrators.
Green - For all Gaia's Moderators. In addition, there will be a text title under their usernames that better explains what their role is and how they can help you. If you need help, people in green are the ones who can help you.
Orange - For Administrators. These are the ones who manage the forums and lead the moderation and member services teams.
You may also see these other colors on usernames:
Dark Brown - For names will be given to those who do art, coding, and other fun stuff for you. These are the people that talk about features and development.
Black - For all other members on Gaia. So if a black username tells you they are a moderator or admin, they aren't
Members on your friends list will still be in Dark blue, and NPCs will continue to remain Red.
As you may know, there are currently several different username colors given to our staff based on what they do to support you, and that can be really confusing. We believe this new way of identifying Moderators and Adminsitrators will make it even easier for you to find who you need to assist you with anything on Gaia.
Green Moderators will still be your first line of support for all of your community needs. And Orange Administrators will continue being the official voice of Gaia as well as leaders of the community team.
Gaia's support team is growing really fast! That's why we want to make things more clear and simple.
We're already improving on our response time, and this color change is another effort in making things better. You should expect to see both the green moderators and orange admins engaging the community more than ever before.
We'll let you know when this takes effect, so stay tuned!
Dust off your driving gloves, Gaians: Scion is sponsoring a new feature that puts you behind the wheel of your own customizable car!
Now you can do all kinds of cool stuff, like:
Buy your own Gaia car
Customize it with colors and accessories
Show it off at the Auto Show
Race against other Gaians
To get started, click the "
My Car" section under the "My Gaia" link at the top of the page. Once you're there, you can buy some wheels from Edy's Autos. Edy's got three cars to choose from: the gas-guzzling Musculero, the sporty Possum, and the super-customizable Scion xB.
When you've picked your car, click the "
But Parts" button to head over to Sam's
Body & Parts, where you can pick up colors and accessories for your ride. When you've got the stuff you want, click the "Customize" button to deck out your car. The main window lets you can equip all the cool stuff you bought, or you can use the checkbox on the left to add your custom car to your signature.
Please note: After you buy items from Sam's, they will take about one minute to show up in your Customize screen.
Ready to show your wheels to the world? Click the "
Meet Up & Rally" button on the My Car page (or select "Rally" under the Games link) to head to the Rally. Select your server, join a room, and pick your parking spot at the Auto Show or the 24/7 lot. While you're there, you can click on another Gaian's car to challenge them to a race! After you've challenged a friend, other Gaians can come along to watch the race and cheer you on.
Racing is pretty simple: click the red button to speed up, but watch out for obstacles! Cows, UFOs, and jump ramps can mess you up if you're not careful.
For quite a while, Gaians have been asking for merchandise that features their own Gaia avatars. We're happy to say that we've finally found a way to make it possible: we've teamed up with QOOP to create Gaia's new custom merchandise shop!
Now you can put your Gaia avatar on shirts, hoodies, mugs, business cards and a bunch of other neat stuff. You can customize it all with your own colors, text and dozens of pieces of Gaia artwork-- the possibilities are practically endless.
To celebrate the launch of our custom merchandise, we're offering a special limited-time promotion: for every dollar you spend with QOOP in the next 30 days, you'll be given 100 Gaia Gold! This number is rounded up, so if you spend $21.35, you'll get 2,200 Gold. (Please note that this gold will not be granted immediately; it may take around 45 days.)
