However, I think you can agree that whether or not Gaia was initially created for older teens/young adults, the reality is that there is a huge population of tweens consistently logging on.

It is for teens and young adults. There is a strict age limit of 13+ and a pg13(which mainly just prohibits nudity/porn/excessive gore) rating. Tweens would be an inappropriate term for a vast majority of users. In fact, last time I came upon statistics concernin age groups, the average user was in their early late teens or early twenties.
