Welcome to Gaia! :: Ask the admin (03/17/08)

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone like this month's MC. Sounds like the many liked the Alice items and some are already asking for other book themed items. biggrin On more serious note, we're still tackling with the banning issue but should have it wrapped up in a day or two.

-Lanzer

Good day,
With this month’s collectable clearly being related to a Disney movie does that mean we might be seeing sponsorship from the Disney Corporation? Or are we just going to hope they’re going to be merciful and not send their wrath upon us?

To any/all Admins or Devs ONLY,
Yes, I'm here again.
GGN questions
1. Why have you stolen even Leon from the GGN? WHYYYY???
2. How will the GGN get thier summer fall update if not even one Developer is working on the GGN now?
3. Please don't make the GGN into clubs. (To fellow smartasses- Yes, this is a legit concern.)
4. Will you plase fix the posting and poll 'general error' soon? PLEASE???? Whoop-de-do, you changed the error message and added a link to the thread. But until it accually redirects, it is still an error message to me. The current message just it easier to do the same thing back and refresh were already doing, in a more idiot-proof way.
5. If you put Leon in the next plot update, could he please be mobbed and brutalized if the fabled 'to-do- list of the GGN hasn't even been made yet? Or has that list been made nd you are just waiting until an arbitrary date to set a dev on it?
6. The GGN mostly just needs a few things. As a whole we aren't asking for a rewrite, or even the forums/poting to be updated like the regular forums, just a few things. Guild PMs is a biggy, since friends@gaia was taken out, we can't even use our work-around. Charging per member is what I think would be best, like 5gold or 10g per every member the PM is sent to. I think we want this enough to not care for a long while, that we can't send to just crew, or just members. 10gold per person seems a bit much, I favor 5gold, but if 10g is what you want to discourage over use and spamming, then that will be fine, you may even be able to get away with 20g. If this would take too much, then could you at least please give the GGN more attention in the other parts of Gaia? The spotlight doesn't stand out, nor change much, no formal announcement in years, and our NPC is doing random announcements without even text it it's signature advertising the GGN. It really won't take much to make us happy, we just want proof that you still acknowledge us as part of Gaia.

Not-so-catagorized
1. Have you guys ever consided rereading the Ask the Admin threads after you close them, like the next day, and answering questions that were skipped over? Either in an announcement or just another post in the thread, since I'm rather certain admin can post after they lock a thread. Or just a list of answers on the first post of the new ask the admin thread?
2. These threads are AWESOME, who thought of them?
3. Are the wild things based on the Golden Compass bears?

Why can't
1. We can't right click and tab the items in the drop-down menus anymore, any chance this will be fixed? Soon? When? Do you have a deal with Microsoft to stop supporting Firefox properly?
2. Why can't we gift a flower from Daily Chance to brighten someone's day? (Or secret admirer fun)
3. Purple eyes, will they ever be back as a base? Same question with the little pink mouth. (Not refering to new ones, I'm refering to the ones I fell acousomed to, which in the net is the same a love.)
4. Why can't I wear my kiki on my head, while my security blanket as a shawl. I think that one of the more odd layering conflicts.
5. Why is it that when you go to someone's profile curious as to what an item is and you click on it, it comes up item does not exist ESPECIALLY if its an evolving item?

Hey hey all,
I haven't made it back to Ask the Admins in a while. I hope everyone has been doing great in the meanwhile pirate Oh and thanks to you guys supporting us in the Gaians Gone Wild softball thread.

Sup, Lanz.

Where'd you get the nickname Lanzer?

Also, I wanna thank you guys for all you've done. I was recently perma banned on mistake, and everything is sorted out now, Yay!

Hey Lanzer, I was wondering would you all ever consider giving a tour of gaia HQ? I live about a hour away from there and it would be awesome whee

Thanks for doing such a great job with gaia, i know you don't hear that much. But I love it here <3

and didja get the boxers I sent you?

I still want them XD

I really love this month's MCs, love the samurai set and parts of wonderland

Will we be seeing more book based MCs in the future? I would love some items based off king arthur and robin hood.
