Hard day at Gaia HQ
Gaia's goal is to provide a great place for members like you, while inside the Gaia headquarters, we are a very dedicated and intense team working very hard to carry forth this goal. But today is a very, very tough day for all of us, because we have to wave good-bye to some of these people who we see as a part of this dream, a part of the family.

From my previous entry, I've mentioned that it actually cost more money to run Gaia HQ than the money we make from things like sponsorships and virtual items. So with the economy taking a downturn and with our growth slowing down, we simply have to have less people working in the office so we can keep moving forward.

It's a very painful decision to make and I've lost many nights of sleep thinking "is there's something more I can do?". As the night became dawn, there were bad dreams, there were dreams of things working out better, there were dreams of us growing faster, and it's tough watching the clock reach the morning. I will never forget this whole experience.

For those who are leaving the Gaia team today, you all are awesome people and I won't forget the times we spent. I wish the best for all of you.

Man, I loved gaia so much because it was a place I didn't have to worry about the outside world.I didn't have to think about the recession, or the weather. I just got to think about hanging out with friends and having a good time.Now the outside world is catching up with us and making it hell.Hopefully gaia doesnt die.It's like the safe Myspace.With a whole lot more to do.
