Let’s keep Reset Era discussion here and Gaf discussion in the Gaf thread.

Edit:
If you are not already in another GAF community Discord, you can PM JershJopstin, Knuckle Sandwich, or skittzo0431 here on Slaent for an invite to our Discord group where you will find instructions for how to verify your account, which you can do even if you are banned from GAF.
The ResetEra admins will be sending out access codes to each Discord community. This will allow you to register during the initial period; however, registration will open up eventually.
You will need a paid (or university) email to join, same as GAF. It does not have to be the same email you used for GAF; there's no way for the ResetEra mods to check this anyway.

By John Rabbit Go To PostTo help clear up some questions/confusion:
1. The GAF Discord is now the ResetERA Discord. If you are in, that means your GAF membership was verified. If you are not, it is currently closed to invites.
2. You will NOT have to show any kind of screenshot of your GAF name, threads you made etc. They have specifically said this many times.
3. Invites will be going out via community Discord servers first
4. If you are concerned about having your username stolen, and it is, there will be a path to sort that out with the moderation team
5. From their announcements, it seems like it's going live today.
Is it possible to enter the Discord channel about it? I would love to hear the updates about the project
By Mr. Adele Go To PostWill only ex-gaffers be allowed?I believe current gaffers will be allowed along with people who weren't banned prior to the Evilore reveal (mind you I'm not in the discord so I don't know for sure). Supposedly it's going to be slow moving in terms of getting people approved who aren't already in the Gaf-discords.
Can I get an invite to the ResetEra discord or another GAF discord? I can provide proof of being an ex gaf member and I'm not currently banned there. I'd really like to get in on this.
Approval seems dumb. Either be in some discord I haven't heard of and is invite only or prove I was on GAF or whatever waiting period they come up with. If you're in the discord will you just become a member? If not is there going to be a probation period?
I'm pretty optimistic.
It will be rough at first no doubt, but It's going to take a concerted effort to make it the place we want it to be. I'll be patient with it.

Are there any insiders from the discord that's also currently slaenters, who can provide updates?
Want in too, and am still a Gaf-member, but not in any discord...

From what I know:
You get into a GAF discord (tho they're pretty much all full now I think, but who knows, ask around).
They verify you are indeed from GAF by you showing them a thread you made.
Boom, you're in. Now just wait. Don't worry about paid or free e-mails or anything. If you're verified, then you're in.

I wouldn't worry about the confusing sign-up process. It will be a mess for a few weeks anyway. And hopefully, by then, they open things up to more people.
By con-ca-te-nate Go To PostEx gaffer here! Will be keeping an eye out for this one and hoping to get invited. thanks!
Likewise. I wish them luck, it must be bloody hard to set up from scratch.
By lunchtoast Go To PostApproval seems dumb. Either be in some discord I haven't heard of and is invite only or prove I was on GAF or whatever waiting period they come up with. If you're in the discord will you just become a member? If not is there going to be a probation period?Not in the discord, so I can't say one way or another for sure, but from the sounds of it, they're still trying to figure things out. They're hobbled by the fact that they're working with less moderation while gamergate doxes them and tries to sabotage from within. A bunch of discords already had to go on lockdown in terms of invites because of it (again, all this info is second-hand)
I'm in the discord. This was the status as of 8:50 CST this morning
The site is currently being tested and prepared for the public. Today is going to be a busy day! More information to come as we begin to ramp things up.

By obin_gam Go To PostAre there any insiders from the discord that's also currently slaenters, who can provide updates?I'll hope on discord and see if I can get an invite since I'm in groups with gaf members. I think some of them might be in the group.

Interested to see what they come up with. Hopefully they can come up with some that isn't too complicated.
By Kuro Go To PostCan I get an invite to the ResetEra discord or another GAF discord? I can provide proof of being an ex gaf member and I'm not currently banned there. I'd really like to get in on this.
I'd like an invite too. Would make it much easier to follow everything and to be reunited with a chunk of the community. I'm not banned either and I can send a PM to anyone to prove it's me.
Another ex-Gaffer here, but not part of any discord. I'm really interested to see where this experiment goes and hope to get in eventually. This could turn into something really good.
So can someone fill me in, is discord where the new resetEra forum is, or are they planning on making a new website? I signed up for discord but have no idea how to use it.
By FreezeSSC Go To PostSo can someone fill me in, is discord where the new resetEra forum is, or are they planning on making a new website? I signed up for discord but have no idea how to use it.
They're planning the forum in the discord. Supposedly it'll be a new website.
Another gafugee here, curious to see how this will work out. I'd love an early invite but I don't really need one I suppose, I'm content to just browse the (hopefully) crazy Super Mario Odyssey review thread that will pop up this week. But for verification I should just get some screengrabs of my posts/threads from gaf while I'm logged in? Seems simple enough.
By Sblargh Go To PostFrom what I know:And for people that didn't want to continue being on Gaf when it is helmed by a POS and nuked their accounts?

How does showing them a thread I made prove who I am? It's incredibly easy to find a person's thread history.
I wonder what forum software their using, gonna go with xenoforo or whatever it's called that or Vanilla
I'm on a gaf related discord and im not really sure what I'm supposed to do, I'm sticking with this site as well, it's quite nice here.
Hey, it's skittzo!
Another ex-gaffer. I've also gotten myself banned since it went back up, looking for a way in the Discord. Considering password reset still works for banned users, I wouldn't mind giving my username/password to one of the server mods to prove I own my account.

By ned_ballad Go To PostHow does showing them a thread I made prove who I am? It's incredibly easy to find a person's thread history.
I guess the idea is if you're logged in it will show up blue and your username will be on the top right? I suppose that's fairly easy to photoshop but they could probably run it through a photoshop detector or something?
Just a guess.
EDIT: Howdy Jersh!
I'm another ex-gaffer as well. If proof is needed, I can show a screenshot of the post I was banned for in the State of NeoGaf thread. Didn't even think it was that bad. But oh well. Moving on to better things. Hope ResetEra gets started quickly.
By Fergie Go To PostAnd for people that didn't want to continue being on Gaf when it is helmed by a POS and nuked their accounts?I would assume that they'll open up registration at some point. It would be bizarre if registration hinged on proving existing membership considering the circumstances.
By JershJopstin Go To PostHey, it's skittzo!I'm just gonna play the waiting game. I lurked on Gaf for years, I can lurk on ResetEra for longer. If someone tries to take my account, I'll post about it here.

I wasn't too keen on ever logging into GAF again, but I can if I need to.
Just a guess.
Looking forward to this, I hope it all works out. I'm not in a discord but I'll wait patiently to be approved.

My understanding is that Discord invites have been suspended to some (all?) of the GAF Discords. But I was told this will open back up closer to ResetERA launch so that old GAFers can be migrated.
Was going through my post history (man I was pretty silly 10 years ago..) and was like "this can't be all of my posts..".. then remembered that there's no Off Topic posts. :(
So this proof of a post by you thing is confirmed? Is it a post or a thread started?
So this proof of a post by you thing is confirmed? Is it a post or a thread started?
I'd also like a Discord invite, if possible. I'm not banned (yet) and can provide proof. I'm an old timer from the old GAF forum before the move to NeoGAF.
In a discord I'm in apparently there was an announcement they are letting people into resetera to make OTs for games and other things
By RumbleHumble Go To PostI'm just gonna play the waiting game. I lurked on Gaf for years, I can lurk on ResetEra for longer. If someone tries to take my account, I'll post about it here.I ultimately don't mind doing this either if that's how it has to be, I just like being in the loop.

One aspect of the name I like is the communities will be known a ____era
Poliera
Pokera (Pokemera?)
Dotaera
Reminds me of the GAF threads that ended in -age. Since age and era are similar.

By RoyalJCC Go To PostSo I'm not on Reset Era discord but I have a Gaf account.I would expect a good month to get users fleshed out and rolling into the new site. I'm not going to jump on it immediately; I'm probably going to wait for a bit.
It's going to take ages for me, isn't it?

Gotcha, thanks for clearing it up. I'll be waiting here patiently!
Speaking of, I really appreciate this forum being so open and accepting of us refugees, even the ones who are just here to figure out where else to go.

By John Rabbit Go To Post3. Invites will be going out via community Discord servers firstWhen you say first, do you mean before the site goes live for everyone, or will I only be able to lurk for an undetermined amount of time?

By JershJopstin Go To PostWhen you say first, do you mean before the site goes live for everyone, or will I only be able to lurk for an undetermined amount of time?That is not clear. From the way it's been described I believe there will be an initial period of invite only member additions before it is opened up to new registrations.
Considering they are potentially about to field several thousand new members at once on forum software that's only been tested with a moderation team that's never worked together before, I can't blame them for trying to soft launch first.

That's what I have been getting from the Discord. Unless you were established in one of the bigger communities, it may be a while before you are actually able to register an account.
Hey y'all! Ex-GAFfer. Just nuked my account earlier today. I used to read SteamGAF the most. Can't even access my account now, don't know the password anymore. I'm banned all the same. Any way I can be invited to a Discord or should I just wait for ResetEra to be up and go through the regular sign up process? Thanks in advance!
