Lol. If the ATG were a separate entity then we'd just be ATGers.
Encyclopedia Dramatica has a rather amusing (and hysterically accurate)
article on Gaia. The article does point out that Guilds "are private forums that you can only post in if you're a member. If you're sick of ******** running in and telling you to join their epic, totally original 'all the animes together' RP, you can find a guild where not everyone is an angsty escapist 14-year-old boy masquerading as an 18-year-old lesbian with a leather fetish and fapping to their[sic] own text."
