Mine started with pinball. Winter told me about it, since I've love pinball games. I was introduced to TLOEM. I posted a few times, and people were interested in a mother in the guild. I began to feel odd in what little clothing I had. Luckily, there was the Japan Update. I began questing, and was aided bu this magnificent guild! I've been done for a while, now.
After I finished questing, I began to look for a new purpose on Gaia. I decided that I should do the motherly thing, and embarrass my daughter. I told stories about her, and everyone began to think I was even more awesome than before, because everyone loves seeing loved ones being humiliated. I also started a journal about the losses in my family. The dog we had for a long time, Yuki, was the start of it. She died the same day Shaff's dog had puppies. After that, I wrote about the loss of my first child, my son, Vlad. Suddenly, the reason my daughter is so loving and attached to everyone, the reason she doesn't drive, the reason she left the home, and the reason she's sensitive and untrusting toward males and those who use drugs and alcohol before driving or at all.
On a happier note, I discovered the cash shop late in my early Gaia life. I bought EI's that had to do with Japanese mythology, and eventually, I ended up owning all of them. I found out my favorite artist was DrinkyTengu, who I've been stalking ever since.
Now, I share my life with TLOEM, and happily show my disapproval and love toward my daughter's friends both on Gaia and in real life. Ufufufufufu!

2004 // n00bhi how do i use gaia omg lol MOVING ON... 2005 // Shaff & Geek TwinsAfter being a n00b and having scene & s**t avatars and such I wanted a new avatar. Geekproductions (Sophie) had quite an interesting Avatar so I copied it. We became Gaia Twins. NEVER thought i'd do something lame like that, but I don't find it lame seeing as I did it with her. She's awesome. My username was "Dr. Shaffinton Piles". I was such a n00b. Horrible username, horrible grammar (WORSE THAN NOW GEEZ). Sophie always said I made good banners. They sucked! SO I DELETED THEM LOL! They were on MSPaint so they sucked. They usually said "Gaia Twins" with our usernames with our avatars on 'em. Instead of doing that i'd just buy art these days. But I was too poor to afford art. To think, I had Goti Clips, Demonic Pitchfork, Demonic Pendant and Spirited Items. Thats a lotta cash now. Not back then! D;  MSPAINT LOL!I made a mule called Shaff after this, and he became my main. Then he became Bat Shaff. Then my main was renamed to Shaff. I'm still using my original account today. 2005 // Bat Shaff & The GCDlol, 05. I miss 05. Gaia Twins, Bat Shaff & The GCD. This was when Sophie still called me Squirt 'cause I was young. gonk On July 25th 05, The Lunar Cowl was released. I bought one and the Lunar cloak and some other black items and became BAT SHAFF! It was really lame. I got some art of him and started getting myself a name. The one time I visit the Music forum I see people started having things like "I want Bat Shaff's babies." in their signatures. wtf? I didn't even know them too. I then changed the avatar to have a clown nose, pimp cane, longjohns & more and he became BAT SHAFF! He wore Red, Black & White. I was a GCDer until the end of 05 as Bat Shaff. People still ask me "Are you Bat Shaff?" and I became pretty rich by being him. 2005 // The League Of Extraordinary MoronsSeeing as I had a bit of gold I automaticcly thought I was rich. I made a guild called The League Of Extraordinary Morons. It had s**t banners using Gaia's old layouts backgrounds and we all had shity avatars. It was me, sophie, bane & Cadbury Creme Egg. The guild got disabled due to a glitch. They didn't take my 20k. So I paid and got it enabled. It didn't last long and died. Oh and I was a Grombie. Lost it to a glitch twice. Bat Shaff is now called Zhaff and a mule is called Bat Shaff now. 2006 // boringNot much happened in 06. I went to Twobits on towns, I continued to be a GCDer and pretty much gave up after the Alien plot. I was introduced to my favourite band (Retard-o-bot) around Halloween too. Everytime I listen to a couple of ROB songs they remind me of Aliens & s**t invading. 06 was a good year, but it wasn't that great. 2007 // A Nice Gaia ExistsIn early January I met Meghan (Uriela, Merlii) and I started a guild with Chris M Smith (Now called Medx). I didn't think he was a nice person so I moved the guild to somewhere else and everyone else came too. OWNED. Meghan and I were best off friends and she became inactive in ANGE. I contninued to post but really, I wasn't that nice. I gave up on ANGE and left StationWagon incharge. She sucked (lol sorry) and the guild pretty much died. I went to R/P and posted 2000 times and then got banned. It was fun. I met Aimless Shadow, , Ozmo, Klim and many other great people.
I also met Dani in Twobits. She has had about 1000 usernames since then. Today (8th August 200 cool Dani has forgiven me for s**t I caused. We're now friends again. =D
I also met an awesome artist called Spatterdash. Heres the first piece of art I got off him.
I had given a guild to [G]aian. I asked for it back and made him Crew in return (lol owned) and it became THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY MORONS! IT RETURNED YAYAYAYA! It has been active since. =]
The best people I know are in this guild. You guys rock. ;D
2007 // obot
Retard-o-bot? o-bot? obot!
Obot was my main (I changed this accounts name to Obot) but seriously everytime I change Shaff to something else I always run back to Shaff. <3
Obot's Avi.
2007 // Shaff's Halloween Party
Next up, Shaff's Halloween Party 2007. Coming soon.

My friends invited me to join Gaia. I checked it out, and joined after a while. At first I mostly hung out with my friends on Gaia. One by one they quit. Eventually it was just 3 of us.
Then, last July/August, I made a mule for the lulz
I named it and began posting in the GCD
All of a sudden I was /the/ person to know, /the/ artist to get art from etcetc. I was invited to the regs/prommies guild within 3 days.
My popularity didn't last very long, but it was the gateway to all of my friends now.
In fact, Shaff was one of the first people to ask me for art.
Now he gets free art all the time LOL

__________
Joined May 2005 as thanatoshero. I was introduced by my cousin, who didn't have an account surpisingly enough. I pretty muched kissed asses for a year, hanging out in Chatterbox and Quests/Charities. In June 2006 I changed my name to Rampage! At the Brothel with 10k a friend gave me for my birthday. I then road a wave of "lol ur name is funni!2!!!@2!" for a few months until I stumbled upon the GCD/AT. I hung out there until mid 2007 when I took a hiatus to play MMOs and be fat. Then I came back with a vengance in mid 2008 to assume a place as a guy in this guild.

I joined in the beginning 06 I think. I loved fishing half that year. I think I RPed the other half. I learned roleplays on Gaia suck a**. D; In 07 I learned how to vend. I quickly caught on, got several hundred thousands of gold. Then stopped because I'm a lazy a**. Started trolling around in the CB. I stayed in the CB the whole year. This is also the year I started buying MC's. In 08 I spent most of my time in the CB. Ventured into the GCD some, it wasn't very exciting. I spent all of my time in the CB after that. Posted something about TMBG and got invited to the guild by Shaff because of it. :3

I joined October 30, 2005.
I joined as Dragn Breth, and went trough many many name changes and accounts, some including Giggity giggity good, Z a k, (R(E)X), and z666z.
I was a big n00b, but I'm sure a lot of us were. I eventually changed my name back to Dragn Breth as a final name and account change. This was when I decided to use a black and green theme for my avatar and it hasn't changed since then.
It wasn't too long until I found this guild as I was roaming the GCD. I was A Nice Gaia Exists back then, and for some reason that name caught my attention, and I decided to stay there. I was active throughout my early days of the guild, but gradually became inactive. Once I became almost completely inactive, I was banned from Gaia because I hacked my step-brothers account as a joke and he reported me before he knew it was me (I was using a mule and they tracked the mule back to me, lol).
Anyways, Dragn Breth was banned and that's how Dragn Breth II came to be. It was then when I became a lot more active in the guild, and I've been an active member here ever since.

tuff ghost, tuff love, tuff crowd My friend introduced me to Gaia in 2004. I'd heard mention of it before, but was never really interested in it until one night, when Neopets was down for maintenance, and I decided to get off my lazy a** and make an account.
I was first called Serufi for some stupid a** reason, idk maybe it was FF8 or something, and I wandered into the exchange. I won 10k in a giveaway contest thread, which back then was the equivalent of millions today, seriously you could buy ANYTHING with 10k (except an OMG, those had just reached 100k).
My first quest was a nitemare scarf. I got that pretty easy. Then i quested for a devil tail. Got that too.
Nothing really happened for a while. I hung out with friends, and RPed a helluva lot in the Commerce.
Then my 03 scarves got stolen, I was like 'this sux', and quit gaia for a year.
Uh. I came back just a few days before I got invited to the guild, actually. And I was like, 'okay, this guild is neat,' and forgot about it for a week. Then I came back bored and started posting more.
Then I bribed Shaff and got put on staff. And now I'm really broke. Thanks shaff.
o ya, at some point during all this I lent Piffy all my expensive items. sit down, sit down, sit down

Well, I joined January 16th, 2004. I could've joined sooner, but I didn't bother in even looking at the site until one day at school in my BCIS class, after I'd done all my assignments. My friend Danielle introduced me, and she even had these images on her computer that she'd shown me at one point. I met her in 8th grade (possibly in 9th, my memory's a bit skewed), and I don't remember when she told me about Gaia, but I probably could've joined sooner.
I started out posting in the Word Games sub-forum of the GD, and I did that for a few months. I took a hiatus in the summer of 2004 (mostly because I didn't have my school's connection, had crappy dial-up), but returned in the fall to discover the changes Gaia had gone through. I posted a bit more in the WG subforum, then I progressed to the GD itself. Back then, it wasn't full of crap.
I started questing after I came back, and I ended up hanging out in some charity threads. The major one was the Fox Tail Foundation, where they would give out fox tails and fox ears (like you couldn't tell by the charity name). I was eventually introduced to Magical Poll Land, my first guild, and ended up leaving the forums at that point.
About 2006, I was invited to another guild, Sugar Coated Wasteland. I was very active in there, and then the place kinda died down after a while.
Then, in February of 2008, StationWagon (also a member of SCW) invited me to this guild, and voila.
=D Best decision ever. <3

my history on Gaia is one of much forum-hopping. XD;;
everything began when my (former) friend introduced me to Gaia, January 29th 2005. I started with an art shop, because I believed I was the s**t. XD;; seriously, my art back then was... not a pretty sight. rofl I'd made a dream avi, and was seriously under the impression that I was able to get DJ Headphones. that illusion was soon shattered. XD
anyway, after a while I gave up on the art shop and decided to chill in the Chatterbox. I did quizzes, bumped, had even worse grammar than now, and hung out in give-away threads. I was a noob. DX
got bored later and moved on the the AMC (O NOEZ gonk ), because back then I was an anime nerd (Inuyasha and Yugioh were some of my favorites, lol). I stayed there for quite a few months, but gradually started moving away from my anime nerd roots.
AND THEN I WENT TO THE GD. I... was a troll. ;3; I remember following this one girl around the GD. she kept on making topics about Green Day and I'd insult her for her taste in music. I moved on to other topics, trying to make witty, rude remarks and failing at it horribly. XD;; eventually I was reported and got 3-day'd. OH SNAP.
after that, I changed my ways and became a nice Gaian. for a while (I think it was after either my 13th birthday or my first Gaiaversery, I don't really remember) I'd changed my name from Ripper-Roo to Sweet Poison Cake or something like that. I remember it being something from the lyrics of a J-Rock song by Hide. but I ended up missing my old username, so I switched back to Ripper-Roo, and it's stuck ever since! C:
it was around that time (I think) that I started my first serious quest: Operation Ninja Headband (incase you're wondering, I never was and never have been a fan of Naruto. never even watched it, really. I just wanted to quest for something expensive and that thing, for some reason, caught my eye). I sold all my stuff, except for my Mochi puppy, and was dressed in peasant clothes for the entire quest. I started a second art shop, called "By Some Art to Help a Hobo" (lame title is because of my peasant clothes). I also had a quest thread. neither were very successful. XD I completed my quest after about 6 months, only to discover about 2 months later that I didn't want the headband. so I sold it. |D;;;
somewhere along the line, I started posting in the GCD. I became a reg in there, and hung out in that forum for quite a while. it was fun. I think during that time I met a really cool person, who became my close Gaia-friend. <3 I also hung out in the VGD, posting in a topic about an older game called Legend of Dragoon (still frequent that place. the people there are amazing~ XD)
but after a while, the community of the GCD, which I'd come to love, changed quite a bit. people became more and more obsessed with their "prommies" and the whole forum became a popularity contest. DX I left the GCD.
after that I stayed away from the forums for a while. I stuck to some GCDer guild, and played a lot of Jigsaw. I was also on a fishing kick for some time, but after deciding that the bait was making me poor, I gave up on that~ XD;;; I wandered the forums for some time.
later on I started frequenting the LD. during that period, I was invited to the guild by Dragn. I thought it was a cool guild with cool people, so I stayed, and... well, here I am! XD;;
TL;DR version: I came, I saw, I conquered, bitches. D< ♥ ♥ ♥

I joined Gaia in February 2005 as BrunetteElfGirl because some kid in my gym class told me about it after he found out I read (a) manga. I joined and bought the mc's for that month (and maybe a few more(?)) then dropped off the scene because it was summer and I had better things to do.
Then my cousin (Detective Mortalis) joined Gaia randomly in 2006. I went to his house and he was on it and I was like "lol, I have one of those!" I checked my account and I still had a Guitar of Angellus (or w/e) and he thought that was totally awesome because it was worth omg100k!!11! (the most we'd ever seen). I gave it to him because I'm awesome like that.
He seemed to be having so much fun that I got back on in the summer of 2007. I changed my name to Sans Rien because it's French (bad French but still...) and that's my minor.
Detective Mortalis was always saying how awesome this guild was but he said they wouldn't let me in because I wasn't cool enough. Finally I begged him and he let me apply. So I'm in, yo.
I post in a few threads and try to post in the guild as often as I can. I'm pretty much a Gaia cash whore since I have a job, so if I need teh goldz I just buy an evolving item and sell it.

Um. I used to come to GAIA to RP when I was like.. Um.. 10-11?
But that was my old account. So I figured I started a new account and stop being a n00b. Then I lurked threads here and there in the CB. Then I was invited to guilds, and one of them included ANGE. But I didn't really post in it. .. Then I saw Shaff posting a thread on the CB to invite people to TLOEM.
Therefore, I'm here. >___>
My history is boring. sweatdrop I prefer the future.
& I remember I rly sucked in drawing art last time, and I had this sucky camera to take pictures of my art to give to other people.
.. Good times, good times. .____.'
