I seriously think the admins spy on what we post and do on Gaia. Three to four days ago, I decided to give my avatar a Victorian Gothic look:

Then I log onto Gaia earlier today, and I read the newest annoucement that H&R Wesley is selling Victorian Fashion outfits. Of course one of the dresses is black and white. Exactly the same colors as my outfit:

I figured I was going to be the only person with this kind of outfit and now that they have Victorian Fashion, all the little goth-wannabes are going to be dressing the same way I am. I want to know. Has anyone or do you know anyone that has delt with a similar experience as I have?

Gaia makes new outfits that they think will interest as many users as possible. I don't think they spy on people, neither do I think they made a copy of your outfit. Mainly because they could not have made an update this big within a few days, but also because they simply don't look alike.
If people put together victorian outfits these days, it's no wonder they put that in the shops. I don't want to be mean or anything, I can see why you're a bit upset, but to me it looks like a slight state of paranoia. You picked an outfit they we're going to make a dress for anyway, that's just bad luck, nothing else.

I've had simailiar experience.

I think I started the whole, "Wasabi Warroir" thing. Also known as "Sailor Moon" I was in the fourms saying that it would be awesome if gaia made a sailor moon item. I even made an avii of it, And then when I log in I see a new item and a an annocment with Sailor moon? And even Haruhi? I had a Haruhi avii also. I mean seriously man .-.

To be honest from what I know people have been wanting items like that forever, plus the fact that both of those animes are... oh right... MAINSTREAM. I love both of them so no offense of course, but yeah I like you would of had a "WTF" moment when that happened. So really I can't blame you. Meh I like Melancholy of Haruhi, but geeboi isn't worth it.

I honestly think you need to get over yourself. The look you created wasn't original, or that good, and the mods aren't busy looking over your shoulder for your brilliant item ideas. And I'm pretty sure this update took longer than 3 or 4 days. neutral

They don't need to spy on users to steal their ideas; they have a whole Petitions subforum to choose from when they can't come up with their own.
