Anyone else an old gaia regular?
« on: August 12, 2012, 12:53:07 am »

I keep trying to go back to Gaia online, but I cant seem to stay anymore because I keep comparing it to these forums...

MMO's have never appealed to me (which is what I infer Gaia online is via Google) for some reason. Neither have little anime character things. Or forums. This is the only online forum I've found that is at least somewhat worth wasting my time on.

This should probably be moved to the "Other Games" forum.

Not sure if I'd consider Gaia a game? ??? More of a forum, innit?

Either way, I used to use it a lot, years ago. Mostly for roleplaying, I posted on there quite a lot, I can't remember exactly why I stopped. I think it was due to school cutting into my spare time.
Occasionally I've tried to go back, but various factors including the flash advertising/layout(drain on my meagre bandwith), endless anime references and my new home on Bay12 have prevented it.

I am (or was) Yoink86 over there. :)

Fakeedit @ Taz: Yeah, that probably also didn't help. :-\

Gaia isn't really a game, it's a forum with a bunch of stuff tacked onto it.

It also has an absolutely awful community full of some of the most immature and pretentious people I have ever seen. It's a cool place when you're 14, and then you grow up and realize how terrible it was all along.

Yeah, I'm starting to realise that, the forums are amazingly immature. And yeah I'm not sure Gaia counts as a game. Its a forum at its base, with a few mini games tacked on, as well as an MMO that uses your forum avatar.
