What do you miss most about the old Gaia?

[RandomUser589]

I miss how Gaia was before. It was easier to make friends. Now a days it just drama. And seems like some Gaians really feed off it. A lot bullying happens, i miss when internet was more for the nerds, instead of guys and gals that would bully you in high school. I think there is too many rules and even then people still get away with breaking the rules. It feels like only the cool kids can.

TekTek was the best. I miss it as well. I liked the quest bars you could make that would track your progress to an expensive item.

I also miss spending time in the Booty Grab forums. That's how I used to make the majority of my gold.

TekTek was the best. I miss it as well. I liked the quest bars you could make that would track your progress to an expensive item.

I also miss spending time in the Booty Grab forums. That's how I used to make the majority of my gold.

jason aka tekton was quite rude to many of us mexican people on recolor.me and several of us got a perma ban even after he said that would never happen. bottom line i dont miss tekton or jason or he who shall not be spoken of, depending on what people called him
the site TEKTEK wasnt so bad the problems started when he created his own version of gaia if he would just drop his website and bring back tektek i would be happy, it would eliminate the offsite advertising issue and bring back something valuable

I joined in 07. I honestly miss how easy it was to talk to people and make friends. I miss how lively it was. emo

i cant put my finger on exactly what the real diff was but it had a feeling of community and family back in 07 - 11 , today not so much. i did bring in some old screenshots if you wanna remember that feeling
more alive, more community , more heart if you ask me heart dont get me wrong its still a good site just things have changed

i do and well the page is still up but its not your typical error message
http://gaiaonline.com/cinema/vj
alas poor cinemas is what it says

https://www.gaiaonline.com/cinema/
this one is gone apache error 80

but what i remember is when you used to get an announcement saying go watch a movie trailer and then you would get an item from said trailer and at the time the items always seemed to be of good quality and everyone wanted it

I never knew the user or anything, and I tend to stay out of all the drama. I only miss some of the site's features. That's all.

i follow the golden rule in life of if you cant say anything nice... but ill just say this once you get to know the rl guy, well....
but this isn't about tekton its about his missing valuable site which i know alot of users still want back. i used to miss the no quest bar but that got fixed with alot of help from users on gaia and well a special post in another guild. still i know that most wanted the site for avi dress up and well gaia did try to help but still i know it falls short of tektons site and features.
maybe lanzer could reach out to him and try to bring it back heart i know alot still miss it regardless of whatever the real reason was

the feel of the site. more emotion_bigheart or heart back then
emotion_bigheart = love or heart = heart
