A special type of social networking site that allowed users to create and modify avatars using many many clothing items, weapons and accessories. It has a market where you can buy or sell items using the site's currency - Gaia Gold. Items could cost up to anywhere between 1 gold to over 200,000,0000. Back in the old days, gold was harder to come by, but items didn't cost much anyway. Nowadays, almost fucking everything costs at least 200,000 gold. New items are released everyday, but many look the same and are meaningless, especially when their starting price is 100,000,000 gold in the market. Nothing here is worth spending real currency on. Avatars are less appreciated because now any loser can just buy it with real money.

The site has interactive worlds known as Towns or Rally where many users get together with their avatars and hang out. Other worlds are usually sponsor based worlds, like MTV Hollywood Crap world.

They used to have this really cool feature called Gaia Cinemas where we can watch funny old ass educational videos with other avatars, but they tossed all that completely.

This website has become increasingly boring. Nobody goes on here anymore except Asians and 12 year old white girls. Items are way to damn expensive to work toward them anymore. This site has pretty much lost all it's former glory and become a giant cesspool of watery diarrhea.
Gaia Online sold out and now everything went to shit.

When a Rogue Lineage sweat can’t seem to get a handle on their life so they take it out on fresh players who can’t defend themselves.
I logged on and the first thing that happens to me is getting smacked to Mars by a Gaia Dweller. The bastard said “ez” too.

The after-effect from being banned from Gaia Online, usually a permanent ban, but can also be a temporary ban. People undergoing Gaia Denial will usually have been banned for no reason whatsoever and are usually the upper class Gaians. They will try to stay close to Gaia by abusing TekTek, or making a mule account and trying to reconnect with people. They try to believe they'll get their account back, and by the time they finally accept that Gaia is gone, their account is usually restored.
Guy: He's been sitting there on the computer for a while, is he okay?
Girl: He's fine, he's just in Gaia Denial.

It's an anime role playing community, with gaming aspects. You get gold from doing anything, from just surfing the web, posting a comment, posting on the forums... and more! There's always a lot of things to do, from getting the item you're questing for, to replying to this one gaiafag who has been bothering you all day. However, it is poorly moderated and filled with immature idiots.
Gaia Online is lucky to have their own Terms of Service than to follow another forum host's Terms of Service, because if they did, they'd be deleted years ago.

The place where trolls are king. Gaia Online is a poorly moderated site where one can find helpless emo/goth/punk people who spew rants about their pathetic lives, and eagerly await others to troll or laugh at them.

On Gaia, trolling is a popular sport, of which some members have a high amount of fame. Many other members will attempt to fight trolls, but ultimately fail, as their general intelligence greatly falls below normal.

Being banned from Gaia Online is no problem, as it is easy to create another account. IP bans are unheard of.
Standard Conversation on Gaia Online

Post: "Helpzors! My friend who is 13 is cutting again! What should I do?!"

Response: "You're clearly a bad friend as you don't support her in every decision she's going to make. You should help her cut, and be a better friend. If you tell her parents she'll be angry at you and won't be your friend anymore."

Gaia Online is an anime role-playing website with customizable avatars and a massive member list. It has a wide variety of forums to chat in, although most of those forums are occupied by chatspeak-slinging, tactless morons who will flame you for any variety of offenses, including but not limited to:

Posting a topic in the wrong forum.
Using slightly worse grammar than they do.
Defending someone who is being mercilessly flamed.
Existing.

Despite all this, the website is unparalleled in its addictive qualities, and with some time and effort, some fun and intelligent chat can be found there.
I got flamed on Gaia Online for having an avatar with red hair, but I still go back.

Gaia Online was once the coolest hangout for people to make friends, talk about Anime, etc.

Now it's slowly becoming a pay-to-play website. The newest scam is "Free" Gaia Cash offers that wind up getting a ton of viruses on your computer, or dozens of telemarketers calling your house every day.
Gaia Online used to be so cool. What happened?
