Outta most of the forums I frequent, I have to say this is the one I frequent the most. It kinda feels sorta like a home in some ways. You sorta get addicted to it. It kinda reminds me of when I played Ragnarok Online. I had joined a guild and made so many wonderful friends, then to lose them after that. In some ways I was sad because I would never be able to talk to them. This was like in 2002 and there were limited resources back when and only way was email. Our guild leader was Allison. She rawked! (m/) So what am I trying to say? Well during my time on Gaia, I met wonderful people back when I joined and I see a repeat happening again. Mostly because the ones I knew from so long ago, are gone and I have no way to get ahold of them. Anyways, Gaia doesn't have the best community around since it's taken over by teens but it was a great hangout none the less. Other forums I'm in doesn't have that magic as Gaia has. So I ask myself, why do I come on Gaia? I honestly don't know. I think it's just for the mini games and dress up. I did come on from time to time to meet new interesting online friends but that's rather hard to do when I'm about twice the age as most on here now. Sheesh I was barely 24 when I first joined. But now, it's different. Most places on the forum that interest me, lack any substance and dullards abound. It's rough seeing that most places now, everything seemed to be made just for kids. It's funny because now it seems the world of kids come and post whatever on any forum, even the Final Fantasy board (not from here another site and music) have so overwhelmed with them. They think the internet was made for them and that they own it. Which is far from the truth. It's tiring to see it everyday with such idiocy just by lurking around on Gaia and other sites. But here is where it's just overrun by them. I guess I can understand why some older people aren't on here anymore. And it's understandable. So now comes my decision. Since this place isn't really considered to me as a relevant social adult gathering, I am considering to take an indefinite hiatus from here. I'll still be around my other forums but from here, I really see no point. Neru is still around my traditional forums thats for sure. Some have suggested trying other sites that are similar to Gaia and I have seen them but still I'm undeceive. I doubt anyone is going to read this but I thought I'd type it out. Anywho to those that do, Love you.
