Dear Fellow Users of Magivolve,

This week has been one of the most tremendous weeks yet. On a count, there has been over 110 members present in one day, which is great considering the constant updates and changes! ^_^

However we would like to point out that the signature issue was strictly voluntary. There was no force in the issue, we merely implied that new users from Gaia Online would be awarded with 1000mulla and an emoticon mask. It was assumed that because Magivolve allowed other signatures from other sites, it was fine to present it in Gaia.

In the past, Magivolve has inserted a Gaia banner on the site (as some of you know from the first layout of the site), however from the signature event, users of Magivolve have had their signatures disabled on Gaia and fined 10,000Gold to retreive it back in their profiles.

It is beyond our judgement that we, small starting Magivolve online community has presented to become a mere threat to Gaia, even though in a obvious sort of manner we are shooting in different paths. Hard as it may seem, if one has a very good site, and is very confident that they will maintain popularity... then why monopolize over other sites that would like to have a piece of their own community on the internet?

Perhaps it is true that this issue went completely out of hand, as it was intended to be. We were not aware that this result would happen to our users that also members of Gaia. Maybe it was to scare them back to their site, or something rather disturbing that would mislead users to come to Magivolve again. We are not sure.

The only thing that we know for sure is that when this all happened, none of the site administrators of Magivolve did NOT receive any email, pm, whatever type of notice or contact from the site administrators of Gaia Online.

One thing is for sure, we have grew in numbers from when Magivolve first started, and even explored in changing layout and upgrades. To add, we have a large range of dedicated users that come and present positivity and constructive criticism to the online community.

However, we would like to emphasize that "trolling" is not allowed here. Though we are a fairly new site (just broke the 1.5 year mark), this type of behavior is not allowed. After the signature event, we have had our share of this problem, and we have been quickly exterminating it.

For someone to say that this site, excuse the language "Can burn in hell", or "This site sucks ass" coming from Gaia with the lack of a brain, piled on with immaturity will be permanently deleted. Create another character to troll... we can delete that too. This can continue until we actually become back to being a comfortable home for dedicated Magivolvians.

We would not like to force users to choose which site they would stay, because Magivolve welcomes everyone from Anionline, Varus Online, Gaia Online, Neopets... etc., we do not descriminate whatsoever because every site has a goal to apart themselves to create an online community for all ages.

Thank you for your time,
Magivolve Admins
