Gaia Online

Throwback big time!! I still use the site mostly to post on their own forums and to dress up my avatar.

And here's some throwback of how the site looked when it launched

I had met friends on other sites who were on there. Sadly they've all moved on with their lives. Do any of you remember Gaia Online?

I remember hearing about this place long, long ago and I'm surprised it's still going strong. I think I heard about it on "Big Boards", a directory of the past that only allowed boards with X amount of posts and members to join.

I was on it off and on throughout the years. I remember wanting to be a mod there badly and always got declined due to being inactive or just due to maturity reasons.

I used it a little but not too much.

I think I was a member once.

I heard that it used to be one of the largest forums for it's time. Is that true?

Yes. Anime News Network also was pretty decent for it's size back then.

Never heard of this, I have used a couple of gaming communities and I believe gaming communities are fun. I checked the web archive link and based on my first impression, I think it must be a cool community. I am not much into Anime though

It’s wild how popular it is still to this day. It blew up because of the customization of human avatars on a community. Their success inspired a lot of other games too.

I didn’t have a computer back when Gaia Online was popular. My wife told me she used to visit the site when she was a teenager and loved it.
