By Angelus Errare Go To PostShould pineapples go on pizzaYeah..never mind..😒
By LFMartins86 Go To PostPretty sure they said yes.I think that's a pretty good call, I hated it when I didn't have one and had to lurk for years but it's for the better. Keeps the trolls and suicide accounters to a minimum.
By Slick Butter Go To Postbetter have actual in-forum footage
If its anything like any other keynote everything will be in development for years and the final product will look nothing like what they promised.
This could be the Hello Games of forums lol.
Th site owner has great taste in forum design but terrible taste just about everywhere else. No pineapple on pizza and a blazers fan who derives more happiness from Laker losses than BLazer wins.
Conversely, I never looked at the logo and though "man what a stupid idea"
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostHow many of you looked at the GAF logo and went, "Dam, that's a cool logo!"

By n8 dogg Go To PostThe name isnt bad because the name is bad. Slaent is no better. Neogaf even sounds like nerd shit.
It is bad because it actively is saying 'lets start all over again and forget what happened'
"American based forums are a microcosm of American society"
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostHow many of you looked at the GAF logo and went, "Dam, that's a cool logo!"It was always pretty ugly, but I THINK the community kind of got used to it and embraced it.
By Kill Your Masters Go To PostThey'll have a lot of work in front of them that's for sure. But props to them if they pull it off but approving accounts based on GAF data is going to be hard, unless they have lists of users with accompanied emails from the neogaf dB, which would also be a problematic issue itself anyway.
Like, illegal problematic. There is no reasonable way for them to verify your GAF account without individual investigations into each one.
By Angelus Errare Go To PostBut then how would most dudes find it?In their ass if they weren't afraid to look
I was about to post the exact same thing. Congrats on tying your forum's name to its negative history.
EDIT: This thread moves so fast. Basically, the name "ResetERA" sucks

By Bort Go To PostWhat is this based on? I've seen the notion a few times, but from what I've read greater transparency is something they plan to implement. Not trying to be an ass, but genuinely wondering if you've read something from the discord that I haven't.
Is the discord even open to other people right now? This conversation has been moving quickly, but earlier there was talk of how any mention of EL resulted in it being shut down/banned. And there have been plenty of opportunities in the past for moderators to be more transparent, but even now there's radio silence across the board. We're talking about video game forums, not national security, and the need for hyper secrecy is ridiculous.
A similar thing was happening where I work: people were upset about how favoritism was perceived regarding promotions. So we made it fully transparent and integrated into an application/interview process, including follow-up discussions when you weren't selected. It completely changed the tone of how things were done in a more positive way.
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostHow many of you looked at the GAF logo and went, "Dam, that's a cool logo!"I legit thought that GAF stood for Gaming Action Forum OR Give A Fuck. One of my ideas for a new name was idoGAF. Not my brightest moments.
LA is hotter than the sun today, and I wanted to bitch about it in the GAF thread. :(
Man, if GAF is really done then it's a very sad day for me. I know the heavy-handed mod team pissed a lot of people off, but I've been posting there for years and began lurking well over a decade ago. GAF and Reddit are basically my morning newspaper; the first places on the internet I check every day. The community threads were always fun places to discuss individual games/sports/whatever.

By TheMikado Go To PostAdd chicken and I can vouch for that opinion.
I my go to pizza is usually cajun chicken, pineapples and jalapenos. Lawd forgive me.
By Fenderputty Go To PostAdd canadian bacon and I"m on your team.
The combo goes well with just about anything.
By PeskyToaster Go To PostMushrooms are amazing on pizza. The real secret to a great pizza is some bbq sauce.
No, damn it. Be better.
Be better than BBQ sauce. All it does is overpower the taste of everything on the pizza.
By Pastry Go To PostLike, illegal problematic. There is no reasonable way for them to verify your GAF account without individual investigations into each one.Yeah exactly.
By Haz Go To PostSo like are y'all gonna dip SLAENT after ResetEra starts? I don't get it.Nah I'm good.
By Haz Go To PostSo like are y'all gonna dip SLAENT after ResetEra starts? I don't get it.I'll stick around for at least a bit. Community seems solid here.
Another GAF-refugee here.
Need to blow of some steam as well, so here goes.
First of all, fuck Evilore for being a creep towards women. Furthermore, his piss poor decisions made for the quick and possibly permanent death of GAF. Had he allowed one big thread for the news and accusations in regards to his abusive behaviour, he would have at least had a time to issue a statement/make decisions and let the community figure out what to do. Instead of what we got now; all the mods (rightfully) refusing to particpate in his censorship and thus quitting, crashing the whole site at breakneck speed. Censorship is futile in this day and age anyways, so aside from being shitty it is downright stupid. Now I will admit the Kotaku article stating that Evilore and the victim did have a sexual relationship afterwards and an ugly breakup (?) made me raise my eyebrow a bit, as I have seen way too many ugly breakups in real life with longterm mudslinging afterwards. However, given some of his other shitty actions (the Spain and revengeporn stuff), and his recent crackdowns on certain members plus the lack of any form of statement still (how goddamn long does it take to issue one?!), I have little doubts he is in fact a creep/guilty. Also, for his sake I hope he invested his money properly or at least has proper backup funds, because I don't see any bright future ahead of him in terms of a career (which is obviously his own fault).
In regards to ResetEra site, I am skeptical. The reason neogaf still thrived after all these years was due to a lot of different reasons, depending on each member. Starting a similar site with a similar scope and allure, even in the wake of GAF's possible/likely demise with lot's of "refugees", will be extremely difficult I think. We will see I guess.
I hope either GAF manages to recover or a new site to become a good replacement, but I have my doubts at this point. And yes, because of it's community I would return to neogaf still, and see how it evolves past this incident, ideally with Evilore stepping down asap. I was never there because of him and there is always adblock.

By Haz Go To PostSo like are y'all gonna dip SLAENT after ResetEra starts? I don't get it.
Yo I ain't. I think some will. Some will do both. I was here prior to GAF blowing up and will be here after everyone figures out where they want to stay.
I feel like "you can visit multiple" forums should be reiterated lol.
By Haz Go To PostSo like are y'all gonna dip SLAENT after ResetEra starts? I don't get it.
Some probably will. Some will split time, some might not bother cause the name is dumb.
By ZattMurdock Go To PostI legit thought that GAF stood for Gaming Action Forum OR Give A Fuck. One of my ideas for a new name was idoGAF. Not my brightest moments.I thought it stood for Game Affiliate Forum.
By Combichristoffersen Go To PostYou portuguese even eat bacalo. Which is also terrible ;) Seriously though, I've never liked olives or mushrooms. Olives just aren't a particularly popular part of Scandinavian cuisine.the fuck is this slander here?
Pepperoni is fine, but chorizo is better. And jalapenos.
WHAT THE FUCK IS BACALO YO
By Combichristoffersen Go To PostOlives are the feces of Satan! They taste turrrrrrible. And mushrooms have the consistency of rubber :(
Yes! Yes! You're goddamn right! Fuck olives! Fuck Mushrooms.
And FUCK pineapples on pizza.
By n8 dogg Go To PostThe name isnt bad because the name is bad. Slaent is no better. Neogaf even sounds like nerd shit.

That's just one interpretation
By Pastry Go To PostLike, illegal problematic. There is no reasonable way for them to verify your GAF account without individual investigations into each one.
Or legal consent for that information to be shared between another website...
In order to verify claims, even fake or banned ones the admins of the new site would need access to old site info and there could be a legal argument, especially from EU citizens against that. This isn't the same site with a rename. Its a whole new organization.
Do people realize food threads on GAF were extrememly opinionated and dismissive because that's the only type of thread you are allowed to have different opinions?
By Haz Go To PostSo like are y'all gonna dip SLAENT after ResetEra starts? I don't get it.probably not. i'll keep browsing here. maybe even post occasionally
also, chorizo is THE BOMB
By Haz Go To PostSo like are y'all gonna dip SLAENT after ResetEra starts? I don't get it.I will check both probably
By Fenderputty Go To PostYo I ain't. I think some will. Some will do both. I was here prior to GAF blowing up and will be here after everyone figures out where they want to stay.You can, but it's easier to visit one and stick to it IMO.
I feel like "you can visit multiple" forums should be reiterated lol.
I've been on SLAENT a while, mostly a lurker though. I'm planning on just staying here; wasn't a fan of the moderation team at GAF & the community as a whole for a couple of years. SLAENT has some legit people.
I shuffle between this, Twitter and Reddit. I like GiantBomb's forums but it's too slow. WayPoint's layout is ugly, I hadn't stayed long enough to notice how the moderation team operates.
By thefro Go To PostThat's just one interpretation
I know what they were going for, dude. The connotations are sketchy at this point in time.
olives are one of the goat pizza toppings, what the fuck am i reading
someone bring the PDP stan back, he was making more sense than this

It's like some people have never been part of another forum before joining gaf.
By rvy Go To Postthe fuck is this slander here?
WHAT THE FUCK IS BACALO YO
Bacalhau.
And yes, i think i saw a pizza with it on Telepizza ... almost threw up on the thought of that.
By Kill Your Masters Go To PostThey'll have a lot of work in front of them that's for sure. But props to them if they pull it off but approving accounts based on GAF data is going to be hard, unless they have lists of users with accompanied emails from the neogaf dB, which would also be a problematic issue itself anyway.As far as I know, they don't have that data.
It'd be easy for someone like me to verify my identity. I could easily just PM someone on Twitter or Reddit and confirm everything from a different site.
People where Gaf was their only online identity will have a much harder time, I assume.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostPretty sure they said yes.
Grand stuff.
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostI can't believe Sephzilla went back to Destructoid. lolWHAT EVEN IS DESTRUCTOID ANYMORE?
By rvy Go To Postthe fuck is this slander here?
WHAT THE FUCK IS BACALO YO
Bacalo is a misspelling of bacalao which is the Norwegian word for bacalhau. Which is dried fish and tomato. Sort of. Kinda. It's actually not bad if cooked properly. If not done properly, it's.. pretty blah.
Olives belong in one of two places; in olive oil or in the goddamn trash.
By madstrike Go To PostBacalhau.plenty of countries eat bacalhau, what's weird about that?
And yes, i think i saw a pizza with it on Telepizza … almost threw up on the thought of that.
you sure he meant bacalhau and not bacalo?
he wrote 'even eat' like it's doodoo sticks with mayonnaise or something

"I fucking hate people who put ketchup on food..they should all burn!" - Oh you!
"There are only 2 genders" - Burn this motherfucker down!
By Haz Go To PostSo like are y'all gonna dip SLAENT after ResetEra starts? I don't get it.
Nah, I'm good here.
By tino Go To PostDo people realize food threads on GAF were extrememly opinionated and dismissive because that's the only type of thread you are allowed to have different opinions?US vs Euro food threads were some of the most bitter fights I've ever seen on GAF. I used to love those threads and going to bat for US cuisine.
