GaiaOnline, a popular social network that's anime oriented, should be a meme itself. M00t already mentions it under the "Rules of the Internet" page.

"In 2007, 4chan’s founder Christopher Poole, better known as moot, was asked about the rules during a question-and-answer session at ROFLcon. He claimed that they were invented by Gaia and they did not actually exist."

Plus, it gave birth to other notable memes, the most popular being Boxxy.

So, why not, I mean, it's going to be one someday, why not start now?

Yes! Brad and I were just talking about this when I worked on the lolichan entry

Short answer: Yes.

Long Answer:

If you can gather a good amount of data about meme and trend propagation, influences on other websites, and overall popularity (which should be easy); Go On Ahead.

Yes, which frankly I was once a member long ago from the year 2008-09, and periodically (rarely) checked up on it. So yes the site is quite influential for many things not limited to just anime.
So go ahead.

It's easily popular enough to be a entry under website.

Okay, would anyone help me with making this meme page? I could supply the information, since I am a frequent user of the site, and know a thing or two, and someone with experience with making meme pages could create the format. Who's with me?

Oh, little fun fact, Gaia predates 4chan by a few months.
