Big Button

Big Button was Welcome page that Gaians and new members saw then they signed into the site. It arrived on Gaia around March 19, 2009. It came to be by a collaboration between developers Brunosmad and Cashmere Cactus.

The button is bright red and has the words SIGN UP printed in white. On either side of the button are Avatars that rotate to different Avatars along with speech bubbles that speak about the button. When the button is clicked it presses in.

At the very bottom of the page: If for any reason you are unwilling or unable to click the giant button, please email us at didnotclickthebutton@gaiaonline.com.

There's something mesmerizing about the button. They teamed me up with Brunosmad to make the page, and he spent like three hours lovingly drawing the button with all its gorgeous depth and multiple layers of gloss, and I pretty much sat in his cubicle watching him make the button the whole time.

Then, when it was done, we spent a really long time just staring at it. We had to go to some meetings for a while, and after we were out, he said "you know what's weird? I really missed that button while we were gone." And, strangely enough, I'd really missed it too, so we spent another half hour or so pretty much just staring at the button and laughing about it. I'm not kidding; this is completely true. A lot of love went into that button. I might go stare at it some more tonight with the lights off.
