By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostI got no beef with Besada and Cerium's rules are to my liking. Just don't be a jackass.Besada is on record admitting to selectively culling users he disagreed with. That is a terrible way to run a community. It's a large part of why Gaf became an echo chamber. Any and all voices who slightly disagree with the political leanings of the mod team are expelled. I'm not talking about alt-right shitbags either. They kick out liberals whose views only slightly diverge from the status quo.
By Mr. Adele Go To PostCould someone explain this Reset Era thing to me? Is it a new forum? Or is it the new gaminc section of SL&ENT?Majority of GAF users are going to ResetERA (I think that's how you type it) which is suppose to be a spiritual successor to GAF.
By Mr. Adele Go To PostCould someone explain this Reset Era thing to me? Is it a new forum? Or is it the new gaminc section of SL&ENT?A new Gaf of some sorts, not released yet.
By ned_ballad Go To PostThree days with the site down and no statement
Pathetic.
This simply blows my mind. Is he just waiting for it to blow over? If he wanted to salvage this, his chance is just about gone.
By WestEgg Go To PostSo… did anyone from Salesgaf make it over? NPD comes out today.I hope they do.
To tell you the truth I want to do the same with South East Asia NPD if it's possible. Probably not for Slaent, but to archive it on the internet.
By WestEgg Go To PostSo… did anyone from Salesgaf make it over? NPD comes out today.Not the big players, but we had a few people who were interested in these topics.
So far it looks like we don't have anyone who got the numbers and is creating everything.
I'll try to get some stuff into the general gaming topic later :

We already had the UK numbers from this week in there.
By NaughtyRskl Go To PostYou talk about a bunch of internet trolls like their death squads or something. This forum has mods that will moderate if a wild troll appears don't worry.They do have a knack for harassing folks and doxxing..present company included. All forums have moderators. These folks make it in one way or another..nothing wrong with being vigilant.
By Mr. Adele Go To PostCould someone explain this Reset Era thing to me? Is it a new forum? Or is it the new gaminc section of SL&ENT?GAF replacement, so new forum where the old crew can gather.

How anyone can bat for him or the rest after this is just beyond me.

Seems to be a new forum made by gaf mods and other members. Who knows how it’ll turn out but I saw someone say it should be up in the next couple of days.

As someone on GAF who is left leaning but by views don't fit with the typical status quo there, I found that I never got in any trouble if I was civil and thoughtful with my posts. If you have a well reasoned post that doesn't personally attack anyone, you were fine.
But if your shit posts were out of line, you were way more likely to get banned if they were right leaning rather than left leaning.
People forget that most of the people who got banned were making dumb or combative posts.
ResetERA won‘t make it because it‘s one of the worst names I‘ve heard in a while.
They should have called it NetJeff.

By Mister0079 Go To Posthas anyone invited DuranteIt would be cool to bring Durante here, but I assume wherever he will go will have the gaming community of which he likes most. Hard to say at this point.
By W Go To PostThe voat/neofag crowd certainly already know about slaent, and I think has for a loooong time.Not directed at you obviously, but the fact that there are ostensibly rival groups called NeoGaf (which is ultimately meaningless mumbo jumbo) and NeoFag (which is a portmanteau hate slur) tells you every thing you need to know about "both sides" and why anyone who pretended any kind of moral equivalency between them was, at best, abjectly fucking stupid and, at worst, a steaming pile of shit.
By PhoenixMilk Go To PostIt would be cool to bring Durante here, but I assume wherever he will go will have the gaming community of which he likes most. Hard to say at this point.Honestly I think he's at Waypoint.
I was pretty devastated yesterday. The death of GAF was something I wasn't expecting. Sure it became an echo chamber lately, but it was mostly on the Off-Topic part. After the US elections, it felt... you are either with us or against us and you will get banned.
It's curious that on my time in GAF, I started leaning more left on my political views. Despite that, I felt everyone was going way too extreme lately.
But what I want is Gaming. Gaming is my favorite hobby, and I felt the users and their OTs were the soul of the forum. I saw slaent being mentioned on Reddit. It feels the NeoGAF diaspora is going to spread... But I'm liking it here. It feels chaos, it feels different, but I like the look, and the spirit of the good parts look the same, without the bad.
And with that... Hello everyone! I'm already missing the Divinity 2 OT thread :(

By Gaz_RB Go To PostHonestly I think he's at Waypoint.I see. Thanks for bringing that up; I'd heard about Waypoint and want to check it out. So far I'm liking Slaent, but I want to see what's happening elsewhere in terms of Gaf refugees.
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostAlso, it's best to have a plan if Channers, Alt-Right, etc. find out about this place. This forum isn't being spread across discord but it is being slightly mentioned in small channels. If it keeps attracting more GAF people you better start having a plan.
Seems like they already know about it. It's been an absolute displeasure surfing twitter for a day trying to figure out where homeless Gaffers will end up. I really feel like the alt right troll and Trump crowd are in charge now.
I reckon it will take a while before the very enthusiastic trolling will subside.
Pillars of Eternity 2 when?
Also yo Reilo, am I tripping? You changed post edit last night didn't you from inline to being on it's own page right? I'm not crazy right?
You'd think it'd be a pretty black and white thing but something something the middle or whatever.

Well I tweeted at Mat P asking if he could stop by slaent for NPD talks. Hope it works!
Maybe if enough of us ask him on the following tweet
It would show we have a community who would love to see this stuff!

Neither Waypoint or this forum have anywhere near the amount of content/game discussion/game community that GAF had and I don't think they ever will so I'm hoping ResetAge works out.

Sigh doxing, the most stupid shit to be afraid of in these kinds of online communities.
Use a different email address for your leisure stuff like this forum, furry stuff, porn stuff etc and another one for your serious things like business.
you don't actually have to give your real info on the internet
By Gaz_RB Go To PostThis simply blows my mind. Is he just waiting for it to blow over? If he wanted to salvage this, his chance is just about gone.
The GAF brand has been pulled through the mud something fierce over this weekend. Even if it does come back, the industry connects will never be the same, and the vibe will take a long, long time to be repaired, especially if the mods won't allow a megathread for people to discuss what the hell happened.
What I'm sayin is pull up a chair and get some hot cocoa, my guy.
By erlim Go To PostSeems like they already know about it. It's been an absolute displeasure surfing twitter for a day trying to figure out where homeless Gaffers will end up. I really feel like the alt right troll and Trump crowd are in charge now.Except they're not. Waypoint exists to fuel the fire of diverse discussion. They can't bring that down. Right now they're falling over themselves trying to get Jason Schreier in trouble.
I reckon it will take a while before the very enthusiastic trolling will subside.
Thanks for the answers guys.
Let’s see if this Resetera thing will take of, but I think this forum is a better replacement for GAF.
That SNES-ish logo is truly terrible, I hope it was just a joke.

yes, the problem with doxxing is with how the victims use the internet.

Despite asking for the reason I was banned, I got nothing. I had a lot of people PM me in support when I would post in those threads. You'd be amazed at how many liberal people were afraid to try to stop the culture of fear mongering at GAF.

Who would claim a moral equivalence between NeoGaf and NeoFag? One is built solely to antagonize the other. NeoFag's sole purpose is to antagonize a specific group. There's no argument there, but grouping everyone against NeoGaf into the "NeoFag" group because they are the "other-side" is absurd.
Edit: Decided to change the analogy to incite confrontation. The point I'm making is that taking the worst and most hateful offenders and presenting them as if they are the norm for anyone who does not agree with you creates an echo chamber and basically erases all middle ground.

I started to lurk on GAF just for it's Black Culture community. Always wanted to join GAF as a whole, but after this? I don't know. I feel like after what EL's done he should face the consequences for his shitty behavior. If people want to create a new site, cool. But I hope EL doesn't get let off the hook we get enough of that already in the media. Accountability and all.
By joefu Go To PostWell I tweeted at Mat P asking if he could stop by slaent for NPD talks. Hope it works!Cheers, almost feel like we need Obi Wan to send out a distress beacon for our fellow Gaffers to come home. Or we can be like Rick Grimes and forcefully make this our home. SL&ENT now to become Alexandria >:D

By NicasDream Go To PostLurked gaf since like 2005 never got approved though lol so this forum has a lot of old gaffers?Exactly the same as me, I presume it's because my e-mail address had 'xxx' in the domain.

There are plenty of situational election scenarios. Blanket assertions like that one have no basis in reality. You were right to question your ban.
As for ResetEra, apparently we can expect an announcement in a little under 9 hours...
