Forums: New update! Site feedback added!!! Forums: the guide. I travel around the forums spending weeks at a time in many of them. I post my exploits here with the sole purpose to help people. all enteries will be in this form: NAME OF FORUM [what this forum is for] [link to the forum] days spent in forum: [as of the time of writing this Forum speed: x/10 forum niceness: x/10 forum appropriateness: x/10 forum average length of posts: x/10 other notes: remember, you can PM me and inquire more into any particular forum you want. mrgreen ok so here we go! Gaia Community Disscussion Discuss the Gaia world, NPCs, storylines, avatars, and the community. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=139 days spent in forum: five! [now a LOT more] Forum speed: 6/10 forum niceness: 9/10 forum appropriateness: 10/10 forum average length of posts:2/10 other notes: I really liked spending time in this forum. I love the people and they're all really nice. Most threads get off-topic and just get to chatting, but all around they are a nice humorus bunch. I'd like to point out that cheese is good and so is this forum. I'm thinking about coming here later in my forum days when my quest is done! I have to say there are many duplicate threads though... not as many as are in the catterbox. [update: I'm now a GCD regular and people are as nice as ever] ChatterBox Hungry for gold? Post whatever nonsense you wish here. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=23 days spent in forum: three!! Forum speed: 10/10 forum niceness: ?/10 forum appropriateness: 4/10 forum average length of posts:1/10 other notes: This forum has many, many n00bs in it. It scrolls at a rate unseen in other forums... like 3 pages a minute!!!! There are a number of threads in it (a high number, mind you) that would go in other forums better. I like to say that not many people have their towls here. This forum also contains many users who just never left it and only post in there. If you wanna see loads of people you've never heard of before, go in there! General Disscussion: Talk about anything you like that is suitable for the general public. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 days spent in forum: months Forum speed: 7/10 forum niceness: 6/10 forum appropriateness: 4/10 forum average length of posts:4/10 other notes: In this forum you will see some of the best and worst topics imaginable. You some truely interesting threads and the people there are quite humorous, although many, many of them are horribly perverted. The people there generally arn't very nice either! I have to say that this is an OK forum... although it wouldn't be my homeplace. UPDATE: the threads here have leaned twored horrible. I have to suggest avioding this forum. Extended Disscussion: This is where users can have in-depth discussions and debates on specific topics. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=26 days spent in forum: seven!! Forum speed: 4/10 forum niceness: 8/10 forum appropriateness: 5/10 forum average length of posts:7/10 other notes: The extended disscussion is where you will find some truely well-thought-out posts and some really suprisingly nice people. Rarely will you find a person who hates other people for thier opinion. There are a few threads in there that wouldn't be very appropriate for younger ages. There is almost 0 spam too! But one can only have so much fun stateing their opinion a bunch. If you like to argue, this is the forum for you! ANNOUNCEMENTS: Find out the latest News on GAIA. What's coming in the next releases will be posted here. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=10 days spent in forum: on and off: two Forum speed: 0/10 forum niceness: 10/10 forum appropriateness: 10/10 forum average length of posts:8/10 other notes: I have to say that there are very few posts ever being made here, but these posts have very relevent data about gaia's well-being in them. Ahhh who am I kidding? I just wanted to add another forum! xd Questions and Assistance: Having problems with the site? Report bugs, glitches, and problems and help other Gaians. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=5 days spent in forum: eight Forum speed: 6/10 forum niceness: 10/10 forum appropriateness: 10/10 forum average length of posts:3/10 other notes: This forum isn't much fun to hang out in, but you get to answer noobs questions!!! but that isn't much fun. I prefer to help people out by posting huge index topics like this one. 3nodding Avatar talk: Talk about your Gaia avatars here! http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=50 days spent in forum: months Forum speed: 5/10 forum niceness: 7/10 forum appropriateness: 8/10 forum average length of posts:4/10 other notes: Due to recent complaints about me being "baised" about avatar talk I've decided to take a more unbiased opinion to it. In user-created "rate me" threads, most (as in the majority, some of you are having trouble getting that) of the people who go around to these threads are insanely devoted to only giving matching avatars good rates. Next up: I'll rate you threads. More people here take a less matching-based opinion of an avatar, and will rate it in interesting ways. There are some nice people in this forum, but (although many people do) I wouldn't spend all your time in it. It's best to spread your forum time out. Art Disscussion Discuss about Artists, Techniques, or just stuff in general. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6 days spent in forum:5 Forum speed: 4/10 forum niceness: 8/10 forum appropriateness: 7/10 forum average length of posts:4/10 other notes:I liked my time in this forum. The users are frequently very nice and have an open mind and want to help you. There seems to be a rivalry between them and the post your art forum Video Game Disscussion Discuss all types of gaming here, including videogames, table-top RPGs, board games, collectible card games and more. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 days spent in forum:months Forum speed: 5/10 forum niceness: 3/10 forum appropriateness: 810 forum average length of posts:410 other notes: This was a once mighty forum reduced to mere Vs. Threads where two fitional game character from different games go at it. Many people will put you down or the game your topic is about if you post here. Just the way things are there. Site Feedback Suggest enhancements, features, and ideas to help make the user experience better! http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=137 days spent in forum: 3 Forum speed: 4/10 forum niceness: 8/10 forum appropriateness: 9/10 forum average length of posts:2/10 other notes: ok well this forum has a TON of topics in it that belong in the stickies at the top first of all. The mods won't tell them that though because they're too busy disabling my siggy because it blinks evil . This forum has many new people on it, mostly suggesting new features or items. The bug report type threads are not very oftenly seen. I started one and instantly was bombarded with "alpha testing" and "it's free so just leave if you don't like it" posts. HELLO! it's called helping the admins out.... this forum was interesting but I can't say that it'd be too much fun to hang out in all the time.

	lemony and mariu: I shall take on those forums next... but I'm not a huge fan of anime... I think that doing that forum would lead to just doom.

	Saw your sig and ran right here to read it, I must admit, it was the Fourty-two that caught my eye xd You do seem a Frood Gaian, Shady Tradesman. Interesting notes about the different Forums, I'm a bit new, and I'll keep this in mind! ninja Ciao

Commented on: Mon Jun 13, 2005 @ 08:56pm


	confused Your opinions of AT are highly biased. Did you listen to the people after they rated you? did you ask for suggestions? Forget it, I'm just going to get negative feedback.

	Robert: I'm re-studing AT. Plese give me time to update my list.

Commented on: Tue Jun 14, 2005 @ 02:06am


	<center>I see you're revising your AT review, but I'll post my two-cents anyways. Does my avatar look expensive to you? Does it look unoriginal? Yet my average rating is a 9/10. We rate on matching, balance, originality, theme, and overall flow. We're actually a very friendly forum as a whole, we're just very blunt most of the time. We'll say what's on our minds when it comes to avatars. I must say, I'm very glad to see you're revising your AT review, because you need to.</center>

	Thank you, I am very glad you are taking time to re examine it. I wouldn't call AT matching nazis, we just like our avatars that way. One way you might be able to get a good perspective on the whole thing is try the AT adopt a newbie. Once again, thank you for re-asessing (sp?) your review of AT. And this is a pretty awesome idea, too.

Commented on: Tue Jun 14, 2005 @ 08:53pm


	thank you robert. I think that I have re-done it fairly well. I have been, somewhat brief in my new description but I'm adding near the top of my post that you can PM me and ask for more info on any of the forums.

	Hey, I'm commenting you back! I'm wondering, how do you judge niceness though?

Commented on: Sun Jul 03, 2005 @ 10:47pm


	Aldana: View it like a table of acids and bases. The median is 5 now, not seven. Each mean person is a base, lowering the niceness level, each kind person is an acid, raising the niceness level. When you put them together they even eachother out to a 5 and then the acess, weather it be a base or an acid, determines the niceness of the forum. Did you not get that? Ok lets just say I see the people being nice and mean and determine it that way. 3nodding
