Gaia Online

Did anyone used to play or still actively plays the virtual avatar creator and forum site Gaia Online? That was a such a formative part of my online life, and I still pop on there from time to time to see what's changed and what's happening (which is honestly not very much these days :/). I mainly go on now to update my avatar, join in any ongoing events, and maybe take a peek at the forums. Towns and Virtual Hollywood used to be my jam.
