I think it's questionable to why they decided to name the website after a Greek goddess. smile

By saying it's "questionable", you seem to be implying that there's some sort of ulterior motive. Are you suggesting that there's some weird reason they chose the name? "Gaia" means "Earth" or "World" in Greek, and since GaiaOnline presents itself as one, it makes perfect sense. Besides, the name "Gaia" has been used for many things:

* Firefox's User Interface
* A European spacecraft
* A crater on one of Jupiter's moons
* A world in the anime Escaflowne
* The world of FF VII
* The NOAA's supercomputer
* An environmental hypothesis
* A river in Romania
* A mutant member of Marvel's Generation X

Do you find it equally questionable why someone would name these...

...after the half-snake Greek goddess known as the "Mother of all Monsters"?

I just don't understand your suspicion...

Well, how could you understand my suspicion without understanding my gullible and ignorant nature?
Um, good point...? neutral

I enjoy questioning everything.
A good policy to have, but sometimes a pipe is just a pipe.

As for the small spiny Echidna.. That is just amazing to know.
Never once did I know that there was little Echidna's running around somewhere before now. biggrin
Well, sure there are,

This one, for instance, runs around Angel Island

That thing could never be a threat, its nose looks so fragile!
It could be a threat if you sat on it, or if you pet it the wrong way...


Knuckles biggrin I could have swore that he was a Hedgehog instead of an Echidna.. Though.
Nope.

Gaia is also greek word for Earth

given the site was called go-gaia back in the day one would take a guess that they were going for the Earth translation
I still have the old logos saved. But everytime I've posted them they get deleted.
Hmm.
