    Reminiscing...When did Gaia die?

    Oh, when did Gaia die? It used to be my favourite past time. When did it all go?
    2015? I don't know when I stopped properly playing...2009? and then kept my account going until I completely forgot all my logon details.
    Does anyone even still use the site? I never even see anyone selling anything worthwhile anymore.

    I guess it's dead for good now. I miss it so much.

    I used to be part of the profile design community with selling profiles and all with a shop on the forums.
    It was better than neopets at one point until it became stagnant.

    I go on once in a while
    There is one item I really want but it's like 60k+ GC and the amount of platinum I have is just.. nothing in comparison.

    I miss when it was lively and fun but I never had the time to make gold/actually knew how. I have a ton of monthly collectibles from 2009-2011 (I think), but it's still not worth much and no one wants to buy, no matter the discount.

    It was good. I can say that. And lots of fun customizing.

    I remember items inflating like crazy and I believe they ended up changing the currency if i'm not mistaken.

    The inflation still occurs, but I hop on sometimes to check on my current item prices. It was huge almost a decade ago. I would assume it was due to mismanagement. They even took out zOMG at one point I believe.

    I think with the rise & fall of forum based websites as IM and social media emerged, along with bad management, it was kind of doomed. I spent countless hours on gaia back in the 00's, and I still prefer forums over anything else, but what can you do with the times changing.

    Not sure when it died, but I loved playing back in 2008-2010. Actually stopped playing neo to go on gaia. I still login from time to time to cringe at the shit I said as a teen and hoping that the friends I made on there may login to chat
