Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

(The following is about how I feel about my old account and the way Gaia handled it's permanent banning. AKA Rant time~)

Non-Rant:

To be quite honest, I loved my account. Even when at times Gaia pissed me off with some other dumb s**t or some stupid items they came up with (and still do), I still overall loved Gaia. And even with my account gone I still love Gaia. But it took away the thing that made my being here worth-while. Like I had accomplished something. My account was fairly well-known. I wasn't as broke as I had been 4 years ago or even 2 years ago in fact. I had most of the items I had truly wanted (though some were still lingering just out of reach due to inflation). I could do what I wanted, make whatever outfits I wanted using what I had and would always find some new combination even with all the ones I already had. It was nearly perfect...It had prestige. It had pride. It had age. My account was about 6-7 years old (summer of 08 was when I joined) and so it had history too. I'd end up looking at old saved PMs, or looking at old comments, or looking at old journal entries or items I hadn't used it forever, maybe an outfit I had. All of my old friends who had long been gone...it is now all gone. I felt quite empty when I first read that email after I couldn't log in one time. I thought it was a glitch. I thought perhaps it could've been some mistake. Well it was a mistake. One I apparently made trying to participate in a guild. I was very sad, but now I'm just disappointed. But that's been a common theme in my life so why should this online community be any different? But I don't fret long, for someday... I will be whole again.

Rant:

Gaia has downgraded itself to a low-key wanna be hentai online community. And if you don't believe me, just look at the items and outfits people are wearing. All these lace panties and bondage/BDSM outfits that GAIA created! And yet what I did was considered.."sexual content"? Inappropriate? I beg to ******** differ. Lets see what's more inappropriate, a man involving himself in adult things because he's an adult? OR...Gaia Online who supposedly keeps it PG selling items that turn it's users into basically virtual sluts and thirsty a** whores? I think that's answered quite obviously. And don't even get me started on how greedy Gaia ******** is. Monthly collectibles..memberships...Cash Shop items that cost $10,000 real dollars, not Gaia Cash, but real ******** money! If that's not greedy then I don't know what the ******** is. Gaia used to be respectable, funny, and have meaningful things to do on here. I think somewhere along the way (and this is my theory as to what happened) management changed, and they wanted money. And what better way to make money then attract people with stupid cash shop items for dumb items. And then they made those items a limited amount, ingenious to make people fork over money quicker without thinking about whether they want it or not by making them panic because of a limited amount. Then the outfits got sluttier, and more exposed. Not that I minded much, but when you accuse me of being inappropriate when your whole business venture is turning these Gaians into modern day bimbos for money, is just ******** wrong. Check yourself Gaia Online Incorporated. You have ashamed me and I'm pretty sure a lot of people on Gaia as well. Though they may not be as salty because they still have their accounts or don't care. Either way, shame on you. I hope you read this and feel extremely melancholy. Oh wait you won't, because you're rolling in money and don't care. That's right, my apologies. Oh and thanks for reading, unless you're Gaia, in which case, You're not welcome~ biggrin

And thus concludes another rant, thanks for reading~
