'''Gaia Online''' (previously known as '''Go-Gaia''', informally called '''Gaia''') is a [[roleplaying]] site founded on February 18, 2003 by Derek Liu (Gaia username '''Lanzer'''), Josh Gainsbrugh (username '''L0cke'''), Long Vo (username '''VO''') and a team of their friends. The site currently revolves around its forum, avatars, and in-game currency, but also features games such as Lake Kindred, a creature battle system, and Runway, an avatar dress-up competition. After Adobe Flash Player was phased out of modern web browsers in January 2021, many of Gaia's hang-out spaces and games became unplayable; however, Lanzer and his team are currently working with Ruffle to get these working again.<ref>[https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-blog/lanzer-s-work-diary/t.112107162_42/#42 Lanzer's Work Diary <nowiki>|</nowiki> Page 3 <nowiki>|</nowiki> Forum <nowiki>|</nowiki> Gaia Online]</ref>

Gaia's forum has over 2 billion posts plus over 191 million in storage, 30 million registered users, and usually has 3,000 or more people online at any given time during the day.<ref>[https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/ Main Index <nowiki>|</nowiki> Forum <nowiki>|</nowiki> Gaia Online]. Archived May 14, 2024. [https://web.archive.org/web/20240514161309/https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/]</ref>

Users earn "gold" or "platinum" by posting, lurking, answering polls, and through random events. Once a user has earned gold, they can use it to buy items to dress up their avatar. Due to the site selling gold generators directly for cash for a few years, platinum was introduced to cut down on the large numbers of gold and reduce inflation.<ref>[https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/forum-sticky-archive/platinum-currency-faq/t.102871559/ Platinum Currency FAQ <nowiki>|</nowiki> First Page <nowiki>|</nowiki> Forum <nowiki>|</nowiki> Gaia Online].

== Gaia and furry ==

There are furry avatar bases available (cat, wolf, bear, fox, bunny) also known as Animal or Paw bases, as well as many furry-themed items for human avatar bases, such as various tails, ears, paws, and skin modifications for many species and potions that turn your human avatar into a [[centaur]], among other things.<ref>[https://www.gaiaonline.com/marketplace/itemsearch/?search=furry Item Search <nowiki>|</nowiki> Marketplace <nowiki>|</nowiki> Gaia Online] Search results for "furry"</ref>

There are many organized [[furry]] communities on Gaia.<ref>[https://www.gaiaonline.com/gsearch/guilds/furry Global Search Advanced Results], [https://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/?keyword=furry&cat=-1&type=-1&page_mode=1&gmode=search Search Guilds] Results for "furry"</ref>. The oldest furry guild on Gaia Online is Absolute Furry the Guild, formerly the Adult Furries Guild, which has over 3,000 members.<ref>[https://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/id.220/ Absolute Furry the Guild <nowiki>|</nowiki> Gaia Guilds <nowiki>|</nowiki> Gaia Online]</ref> There are also places like the HighTail Cafe, which is mostly a RP community guild open to all ages.<ref>[https://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds-home/hightail-cafe-furry-guild/g.60939/ HighTail Cafe (Furry Guild) <nowiki>|</nowiki> Gaia Guilds <nowiki>|</nowiki> Gaia Online]</ref> Absolute Furry the Guild was founded over ten years ago by J.Kougar and friends, but is currently moderated by [[_The_Black_Magic_Bunny_]].{{dubious}}

Several of Gaia's storyline NPCs are distinctly furry.<ref>[https://www.gaiaonline.com/newsroom/ Manga Archive <nowiki>|</nowiki> Gaia Online]</ref> The website's version of the Easter bunny is traditionally [[anthropomorphic]]. Many other characters, such as Diedrich and Radio Jack, fall under [[chibi]] instead. Carl and Rufus are more [[non-anthro]] in nature, although the latter is capable of speech.
