Gaia online

GaiaOnline is an anime-themed social networking and forums-based website. Originally named "Go-Gaia.com ??-02", it changed to gaiaonline.com on February 18, 2003 by Gaia Interactive. Gaia originally began as an anime linklist and eventually got itself a small community but after a statement by founder Derek Liu (username "Lanzer"), the website moved towards social gaming. It eventually became the forum-based website it is now. It has over a million posts made daily, over a billion posts total, and over 2.5 million unique users each month.
