OMG and there were people who sold that didn't they?
Makes me all nostalgic, though I didn't start Gaia until I was 18 (because, you know, I wasn't fluent in English just yet)

I'm old
The ones that have 49585773 images, 293959684858 quotes, a really light font, and the actual post is buried in all that. No thanks rip

Oh boy, I still see that sometimes. Always entertaining when you have to decipher what's the actual message and what's just the template, lmao. Don't forget the following signature that has 20 gifs and inspirational pictures as well!

@Kuuki, WOOOOOW, now that you mention it yeah, I think they did! Signatures, too. I think I remember seeing actual selling threads of those, damn. I'd erased the memory, and you just brought it back full force, hah.

And people complained cuz I had a simple one that they found "unreadable"
Can't remember what the exact words were, but


I eventually ditched it because they got so damn heated, but they were somehow okay with the others that were unreadable

Aww, yeah, the Internet is like that, unfortunately. You sometimes fall on the assholes who just want to ruin your day, and they'll find anything to pick on, no matter how minor.

I'm sure there were people who liked it. :)

Gaia has darkmode now which i always have on. xD if only kofk had a dark mode lol. sometimes when i'm on at night, its pretty bright pft.

Gaia is still alive? Damn

Weirdly enough dark mode hurts my eyes more than light mode

Yup it is.

I never hang out much in the forums, always focused more on the avatars themselves than on the community.

Gaia formats were a nightmare. I remember seeing fonts that were boarder line unreadable. I left because people were rude AF and it was becoming increasingly difficult to get any decent items without shelling out real money which 16 year old me could not do.

The forums were basically all assholes
Guikds were a lot better, I ended up a guildie

Glad I've been avoiding them then :D

Now getting items is a breeze. I do nothing at all and I have heaps of stuff and of gold without even putting in efforts.
There's absolutely no challenge except coming regularly.
Yep I still lurk on Gaia. I love avatar sites way too much.
