Come here to read rants and look at art that either I create or purchase.
A funny rant from the GCD
=D I got this out of the GCD. This made my day. Read it and love it.

*Edit* THis is not an angry rant, more of a reflection of the changes on the site. I love Gaia the way it is, I just... remember when ... My fave change has GOT to be the tour. And the Welcome to Gaia thing! yes... *End edit*

Darn it all, look at this mess of buttons and colors and ALL of this white! Dadnabit! And all of these towns. Ya' could get lost just looking for a shop. Not that you have to LOOK for a shop any more. You just click one of these here buttons and Poof, fifty-seven eight stores out of no where. All stacked like legos. Why back in my day there were TWO stores. We didn't count the hat rack, it was a hat shop. With hats. But there WERE two stores. Ian's, and Shasa's! AND we WALKED to them. Barefoot. Up hill. Both ways. In the SNOW! And we LIKED IT! *Shakes a stick*

There were no mini games. No poker, no slots, and no SMELLY SLIMY FISH! And we didn't have houses. We lived in threads. With text. That's all we got was text. And we couldn't move our arms or feet. We just stood there and we LIKED IT! *Shakes the stick again*

We didn't have no fancy places to catch bugs. Bugs were things that happened to Sushi and Brains. DO any of you remember SUSHI!?!?! No, I doubt it. Darn n00bs... *Nods off...*

...

...

ZZZZzzzz*

Where was I? Oh yes, the chatter box! There was a man who had a Spider that BIT you there. He was in ALL the threads. That was a time when you could USE all the threads in the chatter box. And we LIKED IT! *Shakes a stick*

Back in the day we quested for things like the devil tail or the devil horns or what have you. Now look, there's this black halo thingy that has all of that and shoes. SHOES! Who ever heard of donation shoes. Shoes to treasure come in boxes with wings. Back in the day I caught a few of those. I don't see them any more. We got boxes and when we did we went to the chatter box and we made a thread about it because THAT was news! None of these NPC soap operas. Our NPCs were respectable. Leon was our guardian! Now look at him, he has a desk job in Gilds. Gilds, by Lanzer, when we wanted a guild back in the day we made ONE THREAD for it and WE LIKED IT! *Shakes a stick*

Every one wanted a kimono, or a tux. They were THE quest items. Now look at you folks. Why some one, Celesse I believe, just got a Halo. Not one of these dadnab black ones every one is sporting these days, but a shiny GOLD one! Back in my day Gaian's knew very well that Halos were off limits to the likes of us and we LIKED IT! *Shakes a stick*

Lanzer all mighty, just LOOK at all of these subforems... Why, back in the day, if you had some thing to talk about that wasn't in a MAIN forum, you went to the chatter box! AND WE LIKED IT! *Shakes a stick*

Find your own discussion you n00bs. *Grumbles and nods off again*

*claps*
YES!!!
*sighs* I remember the Sushi database and all the other ones and how annoying they were but that was the worst you had not questing for months to try and get an item and then have inflation shoot the price up... sweatdrop
Takes me back to when I first explored Gaia at the end of 8th grade when they had the ridiculous Personals and that was where the smut was not in the chatterbox!
O.o...wow I spend too much time on this site sweatdrop
xd

I think I am probably not as old as you in Gaia, but I do remember Sushi database! When I joined Durem stores already existed though, and so did Isle of Gambino. BUT, yes, we walked there, that is why the SUMO cloth was made in Barton Boutique, because Gaians weren't lazy butts to walk so they were not fat. *nods nods nods* World map simply lost it's meaning and I want the woman from the bank (from who I don't even remember the name anymore O_O) back. Does anyone else thinks she was cooler when we could talk to her?


Kimonos... I think I am still and old stubborn, but I still want them. I had one that I sold to get an angelic pendant when those were only 40k and people actualy wanted to sell them so other people could have them instead of wishing to sell them to make profit... I still think they are nice. I bought one back, maybe I should shake my butt and buy the others. And, as for items loved in the past, you forgot to mention Fairy Wings. Everyone lvoed fairy wings, then they invented Prisma Butterfly Mantilla... I still preffer fairy wings...
