Hi all. I'm sorry I haven't been here in a while. I've been swamped with work, as I'm going to College in September *I impulsively signed up and got accepted* ^^; And now I need to earn money for tuition.

I'll try to get things done as soon as I can. If any of the crew wants to help.. Just start deleting things in the subforums *leave all the ones with 30 or more posts for now* ^_^ It's after 3:30AM but I finally finished deleting thingers.

As for those who want to be crew. I haven't decided yet on who other members may be, or when I'll add more crew. I think we have enough for now. Just stay active, be happy and don't bug me on the issue ^^;

Please bear with me and my slowness in fixing up this guild. I'm a procrastinator by nature and habit, but I always get things done... eventually ^^; At the moment, I'm not even able to get online as much as before *My computer was turned off for a week* It's shocking really.. I'm usually on it allll~ the time. But I've had so many closing shifts and days and days and daaaay~s of work in a row. I've been sooo sleepy >__< zzzzzzzzz ^_^

I doubt I'll have time off for a few weeks yet.. Lots of vacations these days which means more hours *and a raise in a few weeks* <3 But I'll try to check in when I'm able. Don't be afraid to PM me if anyone has any questions, comments, and/or concerns.

Also, all subforums are locked, I will be putting introductory thread in them and unlocking them when I have the time. For now, please limit creating topics on the main page. As they will be deleted when the subforums are done. And I'd rather not go another all nighter ya?


Well.. it seems this guild is a flop. No one seems to post here anymore, and those who do only post about the lack of posting ^^;

I've been away on vacation and I've grown bored with Gaia. So I'm faced with either selling the guild *which I don't want to do* Or deleting everything and trying to start over.

If it's decided that we will start the guild over, I'll need at least five or six members to serve as crew, people who will remain dedicated, and who will do what ever they can to help the guild. I have PMed 9 people on this matter. The top few posters as well as those who I've just seen alot.

I enjoy having a guild to go to to talk about my favourite things. And with that, I think there are some more things that can be added to the description.

Things I'd like to add to the guild:
Art Forum ~ For the aspiring anime and manga artist out there.
Asian Drama Forum ~ 'Cause they're adorable and much better than North American drama's
Daily Life Forum ~ So everyone can get to know each other better and be friends
Music Forum ~ To talk about any and all musics.

Other suggestions would be awesome!

This guild has a lot of potential to be great. But a great guild needs great members. People who want it to succeed, people who will try to DO something about a problem rather than whine about it.

Communication is our problem I believe. And I think it's time to try and fix this problem.

For those members who feel that they would make great crew members, send me a PM and we'll talk things out. All members, new and old, are welcome and encouraged to PM me about this.

I will leave this up for three weeks, until June 25th. At that time I will make a descision on what to do with the guild.

I hope that by then dedicated members will have PMed me and posted here on what they think needs to be done.

I truly think that clearing the guild of old threads and posts will be a help. We have a lot of dead discussions that we could start over, and continue. A lot of threads about things no one had replied to. All of these, in my opinion, should go.

A fresh start is what we need. A clean fresh new guild.

On June 25th I will start deleting threads.

I may have to delete members again, but I hope that it won't come to that.

I don't have the time nor the patience to PM every separate member. But maybe with the help of a dedicated crew, we will find a way to solve our problems.

I look forward to hearing from each and every person who wishes to take part in this guild. And I hope that we can make it even better than before.

So you say give up and abandon the guild? crying

I hope it won't come to that *le sigh*

As an update.. We've got one new crew member, Inuka Sama, has agreed to come back and try to help out.

I'm still waiting a response from many of the other people I've PMed. Half have read their PMs, but it doesn't look like they'll respond ^^;

I'm glad we've got at least 4 people who are interested ^^

I don't want to sell the guild.. Mainly because It's not really mine.. I helped by donating for it, and I've been the only one doing any work with it since at least June last year *probably befor too* ..But I still feel that it's Big Red man's guild.. Though he's left us with no explanation.. *grumble*

XD Anyway.. I like having a guild to go to.. And chaaa! I like getting to be the boss XD We just need to put more effort into it.. Members and crew included.

I'm startign out a rought draft for a new front page, and I think we should have a thread in the regestered guilds forum to gather new people.. *this would require lots of activity as well* I don't want to become one of those huge a** guilds where it's all about how many members and posts they have.. I want to stay a nice close knit community where we're all friends and loooooove eachother XD *yes I'm a mushy loser*

I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore ^^;

Anyway.. Some plans I have for the guild:

New subforums on various topics. *I want them MAVG related, maybe arts, other asian entertainment, fashion, cultural foods, places.. Lots to work with here.

I need dedicated gamers who want to make their own walkthroughs, strategys, cheats whatever. Make a thread or two, if you need help prettyieng it up, checking it for errors, recruit friends to help, I'll help ^_^ I just don't play often. I or any of the crew can sticky these, and maybe we'll have a forum strictly for game help. They'll have to be 100% your own work though. I don't want to deal with copyright issues and stealing from other gamer sites. Linking to these sites should be fine however.

I want opinions on the Roleplaying subforum.. at the moment it looks like a waste. I'm thinking to change it for now into one of the above mentioned topics. Which one?

I want to know what everyone thinks of deleting most of the guilds threads? I think it's nesscessary tp further conversations on the same topics.. Some of the more popular ones can be remade, or simple saved.

Opinions.. lenghty or otherwise on all this would be greatly apprieciated. ^_^

I liked the guild when it was smaller. Also i'm one of the founding members who wanted the guild.

So I think the guild should be revamped or change the name of it.
Makeing a walkthrough is very hard for a game. it's putting detail to the exterme. The guild needs some spring cleaning. start deleteing threads that noone uses.

I still think the guild needs flying monkeys. mrgreen

I'm going to wait until the 25th to delete most topics. Simply because I want more opinions before I do something so drastic.

In my new front page I will be creating strict rules for joining, And I'm going to want all crew to follow them while taking join requests. They will simply have some things that members-to-be have to include in their request.

If they don't include any/all of these things, they'll have to be rejected. *I'll be putting that in tehre too* This will make sure that mostly interested members join. And I think I will raise the join price.. But I don't know by how much, and as we don't *really* need money in the guild right now.. I just don't know ^^;

I also want to change the name.. we need something better, immaginative yet still covering the bases of the guild.

I'm wanting to change this into an Asian entertainment/culture kinda thing, but I don't want it limited to just that ^^;

I'm thinking it will be a full cleanout of all members though.. And I will have a notice about former members wanting to rejoin. Unless someone wants to help me PM a bunch of people separetly.. Asking them to quit on their own or to become active..

I do know that banned members can't even request to rejoin.. Which sucks, because in the future when/if we do become great XD it will be hard to get new members.. as they might be old members.. *sigh*

I've also been thinking of demoting the captain, Big red man and taking the title while making a mule vice.. But I kind of feel like I'm betraying him.. Though It's added security incase my account gets banned *which is highly unlikely but happens for no reason all the time* And also it would give me more authority amongst the members.. *And stop people from congratulating HIM on the guild while I do all the work* ^^;

But I'm still indecided about it.. *as I have been for the past year*

Speaking of years.. On November 15 we will have been officially a guild for 2 years. I hope that by that time we will all be able to take pride in out hard work XD

And I don't think there will be any flying monkeys.. Maybe another time ^_^

Well, it is spring, so I guess we have to start the cleaning.


Greenrose: User Image
There's your monkeys mrgreen


I'll help you pm people to ask them about quitting or becoming more active.


Art forum sounds great! I'm not good at drawing, but I know some people who'd be interested.

Gameguides? I could try a few, but the games I've played tend to be very. . .unique. But I'm good at tracking down guides, and I can ask for the right to post them here.

Oh, can we have a writing forum, that sounds cool.
