Disagree. Even back then SA was considered kinda fringe, most people weren't on the computer at all and then most that did get on were just on myspace and deviantart and livejournal and poo poo. Pretty much always been a walled garden super appealing to a certain type and really offputting to most. And on the flip side of that, I know I was never sad enough to post on friggin gaia of all things you nerd

Honestly outside of its early years SA overall hasn't really been anywhere near as much of a hostile/gross hellhole as most folks thought, outside of things like TCC, Helldump and GBS during certain years. Most of the specialty hobby forums like Creative Convention or Traditional Games are genuinely chill and decent places to look for advice or good art/stories as far as i'm able to tell, they just don't get as much traffic overall, and they don't get exposed as awful hives of filth because nothing's wrong with them in the first place.

optimism makes me hope GaiaOnline was like an RPG forum or something but realistically it was probably the 4Chan of its time?

It was a creepy-rear end anime rpg forum where you could buy accessories and poo poo for your av. Think neopets, but with anime roleplaying pedos. People would raid them all the time, cause a. they needed it and b. they would take it soooo seriously which was funny Yeah

Gaia was like Neopets for tweens who wanted to roleplay. I never did it but I know a girl who still does at 26, and she’s terminally boring.

Only experience I have with Gaia Online is that a friend I used to know years and years ago still uses it, I decided to see how she was doing and within 30 minutes the conversation immediately degraded into her going on an unhinged rant about "mexican trash" ruining her neighbourhood

I remember seeing some fat dude probably around his 30s playing it in my college class. He seemed like the type to play it. Well that's my story
