Hello! In this entry I will talk about the history of Gaiaonline.com and give you some background info into Gaia.
I remember like it was yesterday [on my original account] where Gaiaonline, was once called Go-Gaia.com. Now known as Gaiaonline, the site was originally founded on February 18, 2003. The site was originally intended to be an "anime link-list with a small community" [[quoted in an interview with Derik Liu]], but grew under the founder Derik Liu ("Lanzer" wink . Under his leadership go-gaia turned into a social-gaming site.

This was not just any social-gaming site, according to Big-boards.com, Gaia has the largest forum based site on the entire internet. With over a billion posts total, and millions of posts a day Gaia surely takes the title and runs with it. From its original debut Gaia has undergone some huge changes. I hope to get some interviews with the "big wigs" of Gaia and get some information on these changes. If I can't I will just try to dig up as much information as I possibly can. So please keep in touch with me or frequently check my journal for updates. I hope to start a thread related to this journal investigation.
