Welcome to Gaia! :: Ask the admin (04/28/08)

Hey guys,

For anyone here from Gaia HQ: How many PM's greeted you when you logged on today? What was the most you've ever gotten? And, did you quickly log out and run away from the craziness?

Here's one for Lanzer: What do your parents/family/overly emotional ficus think about your work? What were their thoughts on the site back in 03 and 04?

And for any Developers lurking about:
I'm subscribed to a few journals, but when they're updated, I don't get a notification. Am I not using it right, or is there no feature like this? If not, I want one! biggrin It would be nice, that each time a journal is updated, Leon would show up by your avatar to alert you. (Like when you get PM's, and announcements - the little word bubble.)

If that's not feasible, I would like to have a regular notification. When clicked on, it takes you to your journals, and there would show the one that was updated. (Like private messages.)

And (sorry, not done yet), what are your thoughts on a coloured post tracking system? (thread, with images here)

On the report system – is it possible to implement two different report buttons? One for trolls, and one for misplaced threads? And, you can program it so that if a thread is “troll reported”, let’s say, ten times, it automatically gets removed and put into a queue. The queue then would be moderated and any wrongfully “troll reported” posts would be put back in their proper place. Also, with the report button – is the same thread able to be reported on multiple times? Does that create multiple reports on the moderators side?

....And, one more. A lot of users like to add images and different font colours and styles to their posts. I have a very hard time reading these posts. It must also be time consuming for the user to always add these features. Would it be possible to add a feature that would allow users to add their desired features to the top and bottom of their posts? This is something that could be changed under the account preferences (like signatures). I would also like to have an option of being able to turn this off (from seeing other users formatting - all posts would revert to default black text), like you can turn off seeing signatures. That way, my eyes don't hurt, and it's less tedious for the people who like having them.

Are these a possible addition to the forums/site?

Thank you for reading! 3nodding I had many a thing on my mind this week. Here's something for your time - one my favourite dinner recipes - it's no curry (sorry Lanzer!), but it can be a bit spicy. :3

Hot darn! I didn't think I would get the first post. No sorry Lanzer, I haven't voted on the games. I'm here for the forums, not the games, so I haven't checked them out. I will tonight when I'm at home and put a few votes in. 3nodding

Hey Lanzer!
Hope you had a nice week. My week was ok, I was basically bored in all of my classes.

I want to thank everyone on the Panda Quest. This was one of the best quests that Gaia has
made since I joined and the items are pretty sweet too!

The Gaiaholics Anonymous Guild Members were wondering if you could come by and say hello if you were not busy after
todays ask the admin. Here is our guild banner and link :]


May MC hints? Any upcoming fun things?

Have a great week :]

(This is my 5th consecutive week bothering you..sorry D: )

hay lanzer how are you this fine morning?
I'm loving the flash games I cant wait to see the winner!
That was an awesome sponsored quest today! (the best so far) I set up a thread about it in the gcd and most loved it. 4laugh
the only 1 question I want to ask you. When the battle system comes out will there be any sponsored quests on it or will they always be separate because if you were to do a quest on the bs I would think the gcd would have a metaphorical heart attack and torches might be lighten. gonk
Thanks in advance if you answer my question its 2:07 over the pond. sweatdrop

Hey Lanzer!

I hope that all is well and that you still have fun with (as well as on) Gaia. In any case, I've got two questions this week:

1.) Will we ever be able to engrave our gold and silver jewelry at Barton Jewelers again?
2.) Can you tell me when the "Prom"-like event will happen or even if it will happen?

Hopefully these three will be easy to answer. Take care! wink

P.S. I have not yet had a chance to vote in the Flash games. I'll do that, though.

Hello, Lanzer. biggrin Hope you had a nice weekend.

1. Fleep mentioned a ‘Soon to be Announced’ event with a plot update. When can we has?! biggrin
2. Will we ever see the Battle NPCs (Nicolae, Blaze, Ike, etc) in a plot update?
3. What kind of Item Updates are you planning? Scifi/SteamPunk/Horror/Other?
4. Any chance of the Gaia Tour stopping by for Anime Weekend Atlanta (That’s in September)? Would like to know so that I can start saving up now and try to go...
5. Hmm... I like to ask 5 questions so... Have you ever seen Doctor Who? sweatdrop

And why’d you have to do these right when the new episode of House is on?! D:
