		<description>I am a Gaia member, my entire family including nieces and nephews enjoy playing on Gaia. However lately they have resorted to some practices that is disturbing. They have gone on a banning spree. Some of the reasons are not capital offenses. And worst is why are they doing this to members who are paying (as in real money) customers. Aren&#039;t they in the business of making a profit? And when you try to work it out with them, there number one response is &quot;open a new account&quot;. But the worst offense is when they ban account with real money in them and then refuse to give a refund or transfer the money to the new account. I am starting to suspect that the ban spree is to falsely boost up membership. That&#039;s how they got Verizon Wireless to back them up. Or an elaborate scam. Cause if you start all over again, you find the need to invest more money to get to the level you were before the banning. Regardless of their motive it&#039;s bad customer service and something must be done. I can&#039;t imagine how much money they have kept from unsuspecting &quot;13&quot; year old&#039;s.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been on Gaia since 2003, and I&#039;d have to say that the main thing that deters me from the site is that most people there are gold oriented and make friends based on their wealth in gold (so they can get their expensive items) or popularity. 

In addition, I dislike the social elitism associated with being an oldbie, having a lot of gold, or being popular in certain forums or in Gaia Towns. 

Right, so you think that an oldbie like me who has expensive stuff should shutup and be grateful to Gaia? Well, I am grateful and glad that Gaia&#039;s grown to be successful. What I don&#039;t like is the community of users- until people there stop being obsessed with gold and &quot;social capital&quot;, I won&#039;t really be involved in the community that much.</description>

		<description>I love the site because it gives everyone a chance to be heard and make new friends with the same interests as you.
Plus it is the only site that i think is interesting because I get to meet new people each day and we all like to hang out with each other.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The &quot;gold&quot; system sounds a little like how Kaneva was/is doing things. Unfortunately, I&#039;ve not paid much attention to either.&lt;/p&gt;
