[Poot]

I may have been harsh, but I say things as I feel them. It's how I talk. I don't like sugar coating issues or beating around the bush. Who knows, maybe it's a personality fault, but it doesn't really matter.

I'll give it a month, then. Gaia did suck when it opened. But I've also been on many, many other sites from beta and even the day they opened, and I didn't see these issues.

Also, the forums are confusing. I'm scared to post anything because friends of mine keep having threads moved and locked. In what is essentially the GD, threads are being locked and moved for, "No this is spam because it's pretty much TOO general." then others moved because, "No, this is too specific." You can't have a conversation unless it's in "jibber-jabber". Why should I have to go into a thread and fight with 9,000 other users to have a conversation? Conversations split off and it becomes difficult to keep up with a conversation in that thread. Failure. What are you ACTUALLY allowed to talk about in that forum? Because every time I think a topic is related to the forum, it gets locked.

I apologize for being harsh, but I expected a lot more. Yea, things can be buggy, but...yea I'll see how it is in a month. Hopefully these "huge plans" will be huge enough to make the site better.

As for the forum layout, vbulletin's default layout, from what I've seen on a variety of site's, is pretty good looking. Why'd you change it? Or maybe it's the colors? The forum section just looks....I don't even know how to say it politely so forgive me...it looks like a cluster fuck.

Also, any way to segregate post vs. signature better? Because I've found myself many a time continuing on reading into the signature without realizing that's what it was.


Also, at the "user error" thing. Yea, user error happens, but most users sign up and go into the avatar system to make a base before they say hello. How hard is it to put a little note in there saying "Eyes/mouth/etc available in the shops for free! Make you're way to blah blah blah." That, right there, would make life so much easier for new users.
