I was thinking about going back a while ago, Uma, but I doubt they would have taken me. I've heard they're very distrustful of mods coming back after some serious drama. If I did go back, it would have to be more than a Forum Assistant position.
I sure hope that they notice that this environment is toxic and bad in the long term. They are a unique site and I'd hate to see them taken down by shortsightedness. I really want the old Gaia to succeed. *nods* Galla: always, all the time, a galla has no tolerance for it, and galla has all the tolerance. Trisphee Site Rules | Sei's Hideout | ||||

I don't know - like I said, I heard rumors from some of my friends that were on staff longer than I was that there was some big drama and now they're very strict about older mods coming back.

If I might chip in just two cents....
I would gladly support Gaia if it went back to the way it was. Flynn's Booty and a lot of the other cash-cow stuff just... drives the price of things - even GOLD items - up way, way too much. I don't have enough gold to compete, so I have to drop out of 'the race' and stick with the items I have. I remember when I was free enough to just GIVE stuff away. ... Now, I'm hoarding my items like a miser. Not because I WANT to, but because I NEED to. If there is another boom in gold-prices, I need to have some set aside for myself, and I can't if I have no old items to sell. | ||||

I have all sorts of older donation items, early EI items, and other rare things... along with 300k. When I log onto Gaia, I'm still considered poor by today's standards. Sure, I could sell some older items, but once you sell those now, you're out of the race. Like you said, I'm holding onto my items in case I ever want to go back because there's no way for me to get even 1/10th of what I have obtained over the years. It's really quite a shame.

Were we mods at the same time Sei? There were a lot of moderators so maybe we never interacted. I thought about going back to modding there but it was a lot of work. *sweat* Also I am a mod elsewhere now so kinda busy.
Sure would have been nice if they did not have such a profit margin attitude. *sigh* Well, one can hope that they will invest it back into Gaia to make it a better place but I don't see that happening. I used to have a sig. Really. | ||||

We probably were. Were you a helper first, or were you modded outright?
According to my profile: I was invited to be a Dedicated Moderator on January 26th, 2005, and became a Global Moderator in October of 2005. From then on I also did other things on staff that weren't moderation-based. I was also a Forum Assistant from 2009 - 2010. I used to be mostly Q&F -> Q&A/SF and Barton Town (and subforums).

Gaia was a wonderful place back then - if you wanted to do more and could prove you were ready, they always had something for you. I learned a lot during my years there, and the staff really was a family. I miss a lot of them. *nods*

I was a helper for half a year in 2005. Then in December 2005 I became a moderator. I was stoked because Gaia at that time was so exciting! What a great place to be able to help out and also be a user. I really liked it. Nowadays, it is confusing there for a lot of people I think because of not getting the financial mindset and not trusting the people in charge.

I knew your name looked familiar! I do remember you, although I don't think we ever really crossed paths. By the time you were a forum mod I was moved to the bottomless pit that is A/H reports. xD
Man, can we invent a time machine? I really want one now. Galla: always, all the time, a galla has no tolerance for it, and galla has all the tolerance. Trisphee Site Rules | Sei's Hideout | ||||

I did create a WABAC machine recently... The only problem is that it runs on flatulence and bad jokes...

Well, the obvious solution, apart from illusion's fart based time machine, is to make trisphee big and exciting (and without blatant cash grabs), thus giving you back the feeling, yeah? :P
