Heya Satan, thanks for the rec again

Honestly I'm going to miss syn. Like there were days when I'd just screw around in the dream creator. I actually think a lot of my OC's came from that lol.

They were usually rp characters, not really pets in the shops I hung out in. That is still a thing, although I don't go there anymore.

They were expensive. XD

I imagine they still are expensive. After I sold all my items (probably 2 years ago, now) I had around 10mill. gold and I thought I could get some really good OC art, right?
Nope. Really bad sketch art was being sold at like 1mill minimum.
XP
I 100% gave up on gaia after that.

I was looking at Gaia a few days ago. They tell you the estimated market value of your inventory now (likely to stave off people looking to duplicate TekTek)...and mine is, uh, 5.8 trillion gold. XD

I have 200k.

If I still had my account and items it would probably be that high too.
But I donated all the gold I got from selling my items to a charity and then changed my password to some impossibly long number and letter combo. So yep. No more Gaia for me.
Didn't have any active friends anymore anyway though.

lol, I think a fair number of the people I used to talk to on Gaia are still there...

I tried Gaia sometime in 2010, it was impossible for me to navigate.
I had a friend tell me, you won't get far on that site. So I just gave it up after 1 week.

I never really got into Gaia. At the time my brother showed it to me I was far more preoccupied with my neopets. Now all I've heard is that it's market is a mess and I do not have the patience for that. Except for playing the market on Flight Rising...but that's different...because dragons.

I never really understood Gaia. Are they so popular/famous because they were really the first avi site?

I logged on just to see if I was worth more than you Toho xD

Total inventory Worth: ~10,275,553,538,501 Gold

i think gaia was the first i mean i joined in 2004

That sounds a little silly, the way they are valuing inventory.

It's based on marketboard sales.

Some time a few years ago, they started selling items that just spew gold at you, which lead to some pretty wild inflation. That's why inventory is so much.


And Gaia was the first avatar site, far as I'm aware. It's famous for being famous.


Even in 2004 (when I joined), it had a reputation for being a spammy mess, although not the same kind of mess. My non-gaia internet friends preferred more...erudite discussion than the average gaia thread.

Yeah, well I don't want to work that hard at being in the loop.
I like sites like this. Ernya was my first avi site. When did you buy this site?

There was a dating shop on gaia at the time. So it was avatar site + online dating site.

the thread I chatted in with my friends was basically a big thread for people hooking up with other people and it was kind of funny because there were all those "cybering" jokes at the time which actually meant something >.> but it was also uhm not good in hindsight because I was 14. . . and my friends were 14-16 and there were some creepy 30 year olds on there toooooo and very little moderating censoring for that stuff . . .

So anyway the dating shop was taken down and you can only see it on the map of Gaia now and it is unclickable.

Went and checked when I "officially" told the admin team...March 14, 2014. Ouch. I spent a lot of time doing very little. D:

Depression's a bitch.

Oh well, that's done with now.

I remember seeing something on youtube where people secretly recorded cybering on Gaia. Am I explaining it right? it was pretty funny.

Actually there are a lot of creepy old men on all sites now.
Omegle, Chatous and a lot of others. I gave up on them because everyone is so creepy and dirty. I just want to chat, that is why I like avi sites.

Toho: I'm glad you are back and ready to party :)
You are doing a great job now, I can imagine how debilitating depression is.
I get the blues sometimes, but not full-blown depression.
