Gaiaonline, before it became overrun with men's rights morons, alt-right slimebags, and libertarians.
Gaia Online needs to just shut down by this point. I can't count how many times that place has had chances to bring itself back up on its feet, but they don't listen. Lanzer allowed the site to be bought out a few years by some corporate shithead between 2013 and 2017, before getting it back. It's been 8 years since Lanzer has had it back and not a lot of shit has happened.
They worried more about getting flash games working, that barely ANYONE played anyways, than rebooting the economic system they had going. They preferred being politically correct by listening to like some 3 people who had issue with an item because it reminded them of Nazis. Granted the item in question was Nazi-related, but it was a tie-in movie item that had Nazi Zombies being killed. It wasn't about promoting or supporting Nazis but sure lets listen to these 3 snowflakes and go through the trouble of re-tooling the items.
Than say, doing the hundreds and thousands of community-requests that are far more worthwhile.
The community has devolved into people coming back from X amount of years and expecting everyone to roll the red carpet out for them everytime. Redundant nostalgia posts. Boring posts. Troll posts.
I've been on the platform for 18 of its years, I've seen its best and its worst. I feel it is time to put it out of its misery.
