xp I'm having a hard time caring right now. There's a large amount of IRL drama going on right now, ranging from the academic to monetary, psychological, & (il)legal issues. (Most of which would make fairly interesting topics if I were bored enough to create them.) In other words, I have little use for gaia at the current moment, as life is proving entertaining enough.

I'll start working on this once I get bored enough to want gaia again. But right now, I'm not very motivated.

It happens. I got some stuff of my own going on so I haven't been on much either myself.

Update: I actually got a response. 99% of it is my own quoted message, though:

Not really surprised they weren't going to give the account back, not that it doesn't suck though.

They might as well have just said "Ummmmm..nope, sorry." >_> Offered no explanation, and you put together what was basically an essay.

Yeah, that was kinda weak, but I assume it's one of those, "You know damn well what you did, and we don't have to justify ourselves about it if you know," type of things.

BULLSHIT

HORSE s**t


Hell, even dog s**t.


WTF? I wonder if it would be bad for you to re submit it, but edited to include a few times that you would like an explination worthy of yours as to why it's denied if it is.


Also, what did the BBB say?
