is this place like gaia online?

Well, if you keep that mentality, All community sites are "like Gaia Online". But it wasn't like Gaia was the original, it is just probably the most widely known.

But yes, this site is a community site, therefore, "like" Gaia. But it is also very different. The hair and skin and eyes are free and changeable. Notice no free gold or starter sets. The community is smaller, and a lot closer. There is no spam. Our rules are more strict. The community quality is much higher.

Hello, Tamakai! Welcome to Menewsha!
I hope you are finding the site well so far? I've seen many user's say that Menewsha remind's them of an older Gaia. Before it became too commercialised.
If you have any questions, just ask. We're happy to help! :)
I'll seeya around!

*surprised*
I've never seen you around Emilio.
*suspicious*
CONSPIRACYYYY.
;D

Really? Well, perhaps you haven't been looking in the right places! :lol:

I'm pretty new here so I'm sure there is plenty I'm not aware of yet. From what I see, though, it seems quite similar to Gaia in that the avatars are chibi and shiny. There are a few games to play and the forums are the main draw.

The rules here are a lot stricter, like Hatake Ayumi said, which I think will end up lending to a safer community.

I think this place is better than Gaia because Gaia is so confuzing and money hungry.
