Hello GASOC... it's been many years since the core members have posted here. I have somehow managed to stay in this website, while I'm sure most of you have already gone your separate ways from Gaia, I haven't... and I'm happy you did.

You would probably be utterly enraged and pissed at all the craziness the economy has caused in Gaia per se, and the art shops are all a festivity of bribe temp shops. Back in 2008, we spoke of 200 million being a hefty amount, that number has since more than doubled to 200 billion being the new 200 million, and "rich" users can have items worth multiple halos. Users rich enough can even CREATE items for Gaia with the proper item to be redeemed, of course. It's completely crazy.

The main reason I'm still here, however, is due to the few friends I still hold near and dear to my heart who still visit this place. It certainly been damn too long to be on a website like this after more than a decade, and some of us are already 30+ year olds or more. It's certainly crazy, but true. How time flies...

I hope that whomever reads this from the original core members remember that amazing original and rebellious spirit we always advocated for us and for others. To never give in or give up against critics and to always do our best in whatever we do.

From the man-groupie of this guild.

I recently replaced the head unit in my car. Apparently, flash drives are the medium of choice for music, and I didn't have one readily available, so I grabbed the first CD from my binder. It was the IC Character Songs CD, and it had been playing for the last six weeks.

Olly olly oxen free!

Of ALL the people to come into the thread nearly a month after my last post it just HAD to be you, AD. xd

I sincerely hope you've been doing well these past several years. :3

Alas, it's October, so I decided to join the festivities. The site has become a pay-real-money-to-dress-up human version of neopets, except no minigames other than casinos and fishing.

I see you're online... I come back and read this and I'm also surprised by the outrageous economy.

I don't know why I hoped to read someone here but I'm sure glad I found someone and that someone is you, Ryuu. <3

Deuxia!!! gonk heart

Glad to see you too, hon! 4laugh the economy is beyond repair at this point. When it isn't being pumped full of gold due to gold generators, it's being syphoned off with tiered gold-funded kickstarter events. Even worse, things as sacred as angelic halos aren't sacred no more. There's PLENTY of other items that are much more expensive too... and art is in demand for high prices...

and I mean BILLIONS of GOLD

I'm very glad to still see a familiar face here as well, Deuxia :'D ... even if you got the name wrong... sweatdrop

So, knowing I will probably receive scorn for this, I actually had to say that this thing exists now... and GASOC is now part of Gaian Lore...

I was looking to join but wondered if there was anyone wanting to make an art shop guild with. I hate to feel like I'm poaching but since it's not possible to join this guild I thought of making another. If you guys think that'd be crossing a line I won't. >.<

WOW!!! Are you serious?! Congrats! It would be you though, if it was gonna be any of us!! <3

Btw yeah I haven't been on Gaia since what... 2007? (I might have logged in randomly around 2008 or 2009, can't remember) The last vestiges of my presence here are about 50 pages ago haha. I logged on out of morbid curiosity and the economy has gone.. nuts and I'm suddenly filthy rich? Then I promptly went and bought a bunch of stuff and made a new outfit lol. Dunno if anyone remembers me or will respond. But I wanted to say that this place sure brings back good memories. And reading my old posts make me cringe haha. Oh high school me... I tried so hard to be edgy and weird xd

And I might be being sentimental and whatnot. But I really do hope that all of you have continued pursuing art in some form or another. But if you don't anymore, that's alright too. I lost my way with art 2009-2013 and I stopped drawing altogether. However, I managed to pick it up again in 2014 and now there's no sign of stopping and that makes me SO glad. I do think of this place from time to time and I'm thankful to you all because you guys were a part of my artistic journey. smile Thanks for talking to a shy and awkward gal like me and keeping me company at the time when I really needed it.

I doubt anyone is going to respond or is here anymore. But I still wanted to share this. biggrin

I haven't been active on Gaia for 15 years and haven't logged in in 10 years. Glad I missed all the craziness. I've been growing my art a lot in the meantime and wanted to come back and share more of it here again since my Gaia art shop was truly where it all started. Now I sell my art at events and festivals. Living the dream.
