THE DEFINITION OF THE TERM "CB REG":<br />
CB Reg n: 1. A self-title referring to a person who sees themselves more important/popular on an online anime roleplaying community website - mainly in the Chatterbox forum. Because fuck those other forums, Chatterbox is obviously be best, even though they bitch about it constantly and berate everyone who isn't a "reg". Many deny the title, but respond positively when referred to as such. <br />
2. Any person or persons who posts regularly in the Chatterbox forum. No one really likes this definition, so you can choose to ignore it as well.<br />

Quest v. To begin saving up ones gold for an item deeply desired. Some quests are long, due to the expense of the item, and some are short, because the item is cheaper, or because someone (like an Anon) gives them the item. the person was questing a kiki kitty plushie<br />
<br />
Roleplay v. Playing a role that one isn't usually in either through PMs or in Barton Town. In CB, asking to roleplay means you want to cyber sex and/or you're a big fucking loser who can't get laid irl.<br />
<br />
IRL n. Meaning "in real life". There's not much else to say about it.<br />
<br />
CB n. The Chatterbox. The place where everyone is superior to all the other threads. Especially the GD.<br />
<br />
GD n. The General Discussion. They seem pretty chill, but ask anyone in CB and they're all morons who think they're better than everyone else.<br />
<br />
Barton Town n. Where one goes to roleplay and have fun. As anyone in CB and it's a place where losers go to cyber and have their Mary Sues fuck a famous fictional character.<br />
<br />
Cybering v. To have sex online. According to CB, cybering is what people mean when they want to roleplay with you. Cybering occurs in Towns a lot, and it is a right of passage to take screenshots of the "noobs" cybering and posting them in CB, regardless of how against TOS it is. Because who really reads that shit? Not CB!<br />
<br />
ITT n. Meaning "in this thread". What people say when they want people to post in their threads. Often used for free art threads and rating threads. Not sure if effective, further research is required.<br />

Originally, there was only one town map. Then there was an update, and we got the one walkway (not the fishing hole) out of Barton, between Barton and Gambino. We also got the town of Gambino. We could see a building labeled Casino as well as the Weapons Store. (That was also the first time we found out that Josie was running the bank, and she was the one who helped the trades go through!) The Weapons Store (the one with the crossed swords) never did get realized, but us little Gaians had such big dreams for what would be in that shop...we also had big dreams that the little shop with the music note for a sign...on the Barton map...would eventually be a music exchange source akin to how the library (Manga; with a book on it) was a manga exchange source.<br />
<br />
We also had pretty big ideas about how the Casino was going to work out eventually (which were pretty much bang-on, but boy did it ever take a while...by the time Gaia actually did put the Casino out, most people had forgotten about the building on the map), and we speculated that you'd be able to put gold into the 'bank' in a 'savings account' to help you quest, and that you'd get a little bit, like one or two percent interest.<br />
<br />
There was no Marketplace, so the Exchange forum was THE place to go to buy and sell. At the time, the only items there were were the gold shop items, and most people didn't sell them back to the shop. We'd list them in the Exchange in a thread titled 'garage sale' for ten or fifteen gold. This made spending FIVE HUNDRED (basically, an entire day's earnings) gold on a trading pass make a little bit of sense, because then you could access having other people's used clothing for a lot cheaper than the store.<br />
<br />
Then some people made their living as shop owners. They'd go through the 'garage sale' threads, and buy up EVERYTHING, to list in their own thread at just-under-store-prices. Cheap enough that, before anyone bought anything at the gold store, they checked all the secondhand-shop threads looking for their item first. It also kept the gold, of which there wasn't much, circulating inside the economy.<br />
<br />
This was how the concept of 'exchanging' as a source of income was born. Lots of people didn't want to take ALL day digging through threads labeled 'garage sale' looking for that one thing they wanted, as cheap as they could find it, so having a 'big shop' that was always in business and kept a lot of inventory on hand made a lot of sense. At the same time, people didn't want to have to sit around for days or weeks with items they didn't want anymore, when they could use the gold for something else, so often they would skip the garage sale thread and sell directly to these shopkeepers.<br />
<br />
Fun fact: At the time, the total number of items on Gaia was so small, many shopkeepers had a list of EVERY SINGLE ITEM ON GAIA and how many of that item they had in stock. This was easy enough to maintain, if a little tiresome to update.<br />
<br />
First website address was www.go-gaia.com<br />
<br />
The original shopkeepers were named after the servers; Ian, Sasha, Ruby, and Peyo. Later we got servers named after food, like Sushi, Chicken, and Ice Cream.<br />
<br />
The way it worked was, you put the server name after a backslash in the web address to force the use of a particular server. As in, www.go-gaia.com/sasha Except no-one would ever use that particular string, because the Sasha sever was well-known by far to be the most unreliable of the group. Which is probably why the Sasha shopkeeper was written to be a total airhead.<br />
<br />
The original center of activity was a hub on the old Barton map (which looks basically nothing like the map in use now) labeled Manga, where the site kept an archive of online-accessible, free, sometimes downloadable manga and comic sources. The other center of activity was a heart-shaped building labeled Personals where people used to cyber with each other anonymously. Graphically. That special standard of literacy has been lovingly preserved to this day, in the form of late-night Chatterbox.<br />
<br />
What Genyusai had to say:<br />
Being a 2003'er, I can tell you everything DragonMistress wrote is true, but she failed to note one major event...<br />
<br />
The Rollbacks! OH GOD, The rollbacks! I remember one day I found an extremely rare and valuable Pink Box! (They were pink boxes that gave out items, not pink links like we have today).<br />
Back when the most gold I had at any one time was 200-300 gold and I knew I would never afford anything that was more than 2000g, I found a pink box!! A guy was willing to offer me<br />
an unheard of 15,000 gold!!!!! Jesus, I still remember how excited I was to get that much! So I made the trade, and first thing I did was buy Doll Ears for my best friend! They set me back almost 6k.<br />
I gave them to her and we were happy... until we noticed the site was being veeery slow. In fact, it straight up went offline!<br />
<br />
Later, i believe Lanzer posted an update but the whole site looked like Gaia in 1994, only text graphics and 2 images showing a burnted out chipset. It seems gaia has been Slashdotted! 5 days later, gaia came back online, but everything was regressed to just before I got my pink box... My friend lost her doll ears,<br />
and we were both devastated..<br />
