Dear Gaians,

Today marks 23 amazing years since Gaia Online first went online on February 18, 2003. From a small anime link list plus hangout site that started in a garage by us few anime nerds, we've grown into a world filled with your creativity, stories, friendships, and endless adventures (or drama :).

Whether you've been here since Reina and Leon greeted you at Barton Town during registration, joined during the era of the alien invation and zOMG rallies, discovered us in Towns or Rally hangouts, or hopped in recently to see what Gaia is all about, we thank you for being a part of our community!

2026 is an exciting year as we get ready for some redesign work to bring Gaia to a new level. We would like to take this opportunity to ask for your opinions on where we should place our focus. Additionally, we would like to ask all Gaians to share their most memorable moments you have at Gaia with the rest of the community. Most liked memories will be featured on the leaderboard for bragging rights!

We can't wait to hear what you have to share!
