It is a place to talk about everything related to Gaga, but you have to keep in mind that we already discussed every single point and angle of Gaga's carreer from lots of different viewpoints over the years and that is why the site is not full of Gaga threads only. Specially now that she has slowed down considerably...there just isn't so much to discuss and the old stuff is "beeen there done that" we talked about it before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted a link to the Foundation website and another person googled it for them. Google is such an easy tool to use, I don't get why people need to make threads to ask something you can find on Google in literally two seconds. I get what you mean tho. If there's a troll on this cult site it's me. But I promise it doesn't come from a place of hate. If we could google everything why do we even bother to participate in this site? There are somethings we like to understand from people just like us or people who have been thru the same things....i mean if i can always read 20 pages on BTWF but will really understand the true meaning behind it? The meaning that only another monster who has actually seen gaga come up with the foundation Can make me understand? 16 minutes ago, flyp said: Thank you!

I wanted to talk about this as well but there was just so much i could type! 15 minutes ago, HOTNGaga said: Most of us are kidding though, and we've all developed strong friendships on here, guess we just like to annoy each other, just like we do with our offline friends. Though I suppose some people aren't into that kind of friendship and it gets them creeped out. But personally I'd rather be honest and funny with my friends than fake Well as i stated in my op that i do kid and joke as well! But that still doesnot justify as to how me joking under a serious topic helps me gain friends? Being honest is the best thing but being funny has its own time and place. 9 minutes ago, Anveeroy said: Is Gagadaily represents the entire Gaga fan base? No it doesnt! I am not just speaking in terms of gaga daily but as whole of this fandom! 6 minutes ago, Decidueye said: He's specifically talking about GGD fan base Not really! My op also includes twitter monsters or stansfrom other sites who call themselfs monsters yet are the first ones to drag gaga or her name into everything.

Batwings 12,898 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 The "popularity contests" on this site have always been rather annoying. Before the "likes" system, they manifested themselves in other ways. I've noticed the decline in thoughtful discussion as well. A while back, I started a thread that I thought would generate some very interesting discussion, and ultimately, it went nowhere. People didn't read the opening post and just made bitchy one-line remarks. I think the best way to combat this decline, though, is to just continue to try to steer threads back on track and ignore the silly, attention-seeking posts.

Zombie 1,218 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Actually i think this fanbase is sensitive AF, and i blame Gaga, you can express yourself only if you are politicaly correct and sweet? that's not how real world works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Gonzalez Varela 368 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Lady Gaga deserves it for lying to her fans, most of us are getting tired. If she does not care about her career, why should we care to help her on the charts? Here's to our brand new start, I won't be waiting for nothing. I'll mend the broken parts.

What do you mean by racist and homophobic? I rarely see comments of those types and they get deleted by mods in minutes. The jokes? They are not hurting no one! Just ignore them if you don't like. And people can act serious here. I didn't see no one joking about that guy who wanted to commute suicide, we just tried to help him... The answer for this is: get out if you don't like it anymore. Nothing you say will change it, sorry. Most of my days are just funny and exciting because of this website. If it gets boring I will leave and find something better. That's what you should do, if you are getting so upset because of a ****ing fan site I give you the advice to turn down the Internet and go do something outside. ♡Gaga♡TØP♡Nightwish♡Lana♡Lorde♡Grimes♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVeryGagaHolyDick 27,565 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 It's so true. And I guess I do the same sometimes to. But these times I feel the need to have true conversations, with compassion, advices, respect... I miss it a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit 15,807 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Well we've always imitated Gaga so tf u expect to happen when the artist you follow doesn't necessarily wanna be an artist anymore and keeps abandoning her album eras “For me, insanity is super sanity.
