Welcome to Gaia! :: User testimonials

To be honest, Gaia is a site I just find myself coming back to again and again, I don't think I'll ever be able to quit.

Gaia's like, the heroin of the internet, addictive, makes you smile, (Some users have weird Gaia-Related Dreams), and various side effects, limited but not exclusive to, "Lack of Sleep", "Dehydration", "Carpal Tunnel's Syndrome", "Increased Body Odor", "Sensitivity to Light", and the dreaded "Starts saying 'LOL' in Real Life".

All in all, it's one of the best websites I've ever been on, and that's saying a lot. I've seen my fair share of webforums, and I've got to say, Gaia is one of, if not THE best forum-site I've ever been on.

The staff, They really pay attention to the users wants and needs, we wanted unisexed items, we're GETTING unisexed items.
We wanted a battle system, They make zOMG.
We wanted more events, They gave us more events.

We complain about certain faults the site may have, and god damnit, they do their BEST to fix em'.

Thank you for the laughs, Gaia.

Yes, You can quote me.

After losing four years worth of inventory, I still came back to Gaia.

Cash shop was a great, greedy touch. I like all the items you put out in it seeing as they're better than anything you've put out in regular shops and even most of the donation items. Won't deny spending my money there.

But the item crapification is really ruining the only thing that keeps me and my boyfriend coming back. We like the avatar system blahblah, and you've done a great job in slowing it down about ten fold. Keep up the good work.

I've been on Gaia for aprox. five years. I've made a lot of good friends here. I use this site for, predominantly, poetry. I love it here, but I really wish that there was some way to filter out the people who aren't serious about writing from the writing forums.

--- you most definately have my permission to quote me

Sorry, can't keep it to six sentences...but quote me crazy, it's all good:

Hey Gaia...been a Gaian since November 2006...not super long, but long enough to see major changes done to the site.

I wanted to say, I love you...really, I do...Gaia continues to be the one site I actually log onto, day in and day out, throughout the day at various times, work, home, whatever...I cruise, chat, play games, and spend money...God, do I spend money, more than I should maybe...but being with you has made me love you more. I love the items, the ways you work to constantly raise the bar for the quality and creativity of your items (i.e. Active items, EIs, etc.).

You listen to all of your users, through praise or downright reprimand filled with hate, you take it all with a grain a salt. And then you try your best to fix stuff, you change if the demand is great enough, and you're constantly trying to evolve, innovate and adapt to the times and wants of your users...not change, for the sake of change, but what you feel will take you through the next wave of Gaians, what will make us happy. And I love it.

To this day, there have been many sites before you, and many, many more popping up daily trying to be like you...but NO ONE does it like you...no one has such a complex avatar system with just the right look. While inherently anime-esque, it stil appeals to such a wide range of people, you never cease to amaze me.

You have some of the most talented designers and artists in the industry, and they work hard...most listen to the users and really try to deliver what we want, while still maintaining the integrity of their style. When will you run out of ideas? Some say you have and the quality and creativity is degrading...screw that, I say you're just getting started.

The admins, mods and other staff...you work tirelessly and communicate what you can. Can you improve on what you put out? Sure, are you doing your best and putting in as much as your users put into the site..hell no, you put in more...you started with a small group of you making this site in your spare time as a passion project...and now, you're one of the top teen hangouts with more than 6 million unique users a month...as an online marketer, that's damned impressive.

At any rate, I love you...I look forward to the MMO and every other trick and feature you have up your sleeve. I will log on daily, and I will 'donate' monthly...you are my private Idaho.

TL;DR: Gaia, you blow my fuckin' hair back and I love ya'...don't ever change, your a** will always be beautiful to me.

Gaia is probaly the best site out there. Joining in 2003 I have kept up with almost every feature released but still the avatars are the best feature to me, questing and storing for any of the 1000s of items makes your avatar unique and fun to use. With such a wide variety of forums you can discuss anything, especially since there are soo many users so the forum stay active and entertaining. What I like is how the admins are sociable with the community and listen to what the users want. Although some features released I don't like they give us many things to do on this site. Im glad gaia keeps us updated on the Zomg game and I cant wait for that to be released and the many other features to be released in the future biggrin
