It been what? A couple years since I've last poked my head in here?
Hey folks. It's been a long time since I've worked on this site, but after noticing some members on the Line groups reporting domain and server/error issues lately, I came back and was bombarded with dozens of...
Welcome to Gaiwa 2017: The Year of Godzilla. Why Godzilla you ask? Because I needed some background images for the layout, and I thought my current desktop wallpaper looked pretty dang cool. Super nerdy.
Gaiwa's new look is clean, very simple to navigate, and now has a responsive, phone and tablet friendly homepage that more clearly explains who we are, what we do, and urges viewers to join the forum (which is by far most important to us). In addition to these changes, we are also in the process of updating the articles (though not adding any new ones) to conform to the new layout structure, so please bare with us upon encountering some technical glitches in our blog. There are also bound to be some complications once the new domain is active, and so clicking on links will be a 50/50 shot in the dark for a while as we get used to being under a new URL, so please remember to use gaiwahub.blogspot.com and gaiwa.proboards.com if you run into any problems or error pages!
All in all, I'm quite happy with the new look, and it's really made me miss these forums and want to bring it back to life. But what about you? Do you like Gaiwa's new look? Please let us know, and please PM me upon encountering any problems or issues with any of the new layouts. Will do my best to help. And if you have a Photobucket image in your signature, please remove it! I die a little inside everytime I run into a blasted Photobucket ad...

But while this is all well and good, I know that some of you might not go for the new look, so I've left the old (forum) theme untouched, which you can access in the settings of your profile. Just select "Gaiwa Classic" and you're good to go!
Profile > Edit Profile > Settings > Forum Theme > "Gaiwa Classic"
