Gaia Online was one of the most popular online gaming sites for a while. For me, it was a place where I could explore art and gaming at 8/9 years old, which definitely violated their terms of service. I had several boyfriends on that game and the chat rooms were absolutely not moderated. More importantly, I would make pixel art on there and sell it to other players or trade with them for art. It's where I learned how much I love connecting with others around the country/world through art and fantasy.
I somehow managed to remember my log in (I cried to customer service and answered OLD security questions lol) & made pixel dolls of friends. Kid me knew what was up.
