If you haven't read Panagrammic's latest (and probably last) journal entry, you should. It's here. I'll wait while you do.
You back? Good.
Also among the casualties are apparently the last person spending any time on zOMG, [ JK ], and good guy tester mlos. Apparently the rest of the names are leaking out slowly, like Pan's mention of gracewar7 in his entry.
Guys, this is bad news for Gaia. We all know the site's been in trouble for a long time, I've written about it lots in the past, but cutting the people who create the content is not the way to revive it. Letting one of the most respected negotiators/coders go, like Pan, is not the way to do it.
Frankly, I'm not sure they're planning to revive Gaia. I'm not sure what they're planning to do. Or if they're planning to do anything.
So I'll repeat a few things I've said before.
- I've never regretted one gold I spent on avi art. If this site goes *poof* in the night, it's the only thing I can take with me. That, and screencaps of all my favorite avis.
- I've got a Friends Only entry in my journal with multiple ways to contact me outside of Gaia, with various degrees of anonymity. If you're not a friend and would like to have these on hand, PM me.
- Of course, if Gaia does go poof, it's not going to do you any good if I have them listed here. Or me, for that matter. So if you have ways to contact you outside of Gaia, PM me if you want me to know them. Or if you're a friend, use one of the ways I have listed. I promise I won't tell anyone.
And a final thought, a link to an old joke that is somehow quite relevant.
