I am just giving an opinion on how I read their answer in the Q&A on their website. I personally would've written something along the lines of "we'll make our rules and website fit the expected age range better" or something along those lines instead of keeping as open as "we don't want to exclude anyone."DeIure wrote:
The "problem" is that in order for that to happen gsm cannot rely on the old userbase and need to have enough new people interested in joining which doesn't seem very likely. If the old username/older people stops being active for whatever reason, I think gsm will close (again).Addmin wrote:
What makes you think it will be MORE moderated than vp ?
1) the amount of mods they've chosen already 2) past experience with the same company, said company being professionals compared to VP and ES 3) the Q&A which states: "Yes you will! Everyone is welcome - as long as they are on their best behavior, of course. We recognize that bringing goSupermodel back is indeed only possible thanks to the people in this age-group, and we don’t want to exclude anyone." and therefore makes it seem like they want to market it to children down the line.What makes you think it will be MORE moderated than vp ?
