One of my friends joined Gaia. o_o;

We were on our way home when he asks me "Alright, I'm not sure how you pronounce it, but do you go on some website called G.A.I.A. online?"

I later found out he and his girlfriend joined Gaia.

"I saw it on Explosm and the characters in the banner reminded me of something I think you've shown me? And they looked cool so I thought I'd join. Do you play it?"

"... Yeah. I've been on there for 3 years now. >3>;;"

That's as close as it gets for me.

Other than that, I was one day in the GCD when someone made a topic about a GCD Frappr map. So I went on it and found out someone played Gaia in my old town. They were one of my friends who moved away in 7th grade. I PM'ed him all "Do I know you? o_O"

That was weird.
