By Not Go To PostI'm not really into any of this at allThis is my feelings as well. Resetera feels like its trying to happen too quickly for its own good and with the GG crowd all ready to pounce if Twitter is any indication it's going to be a real bumpy start. I'm just gonna hang here and see if they can manage to stabilize it over there and if the community/moderation is good I'll set up there too.
Maybe in a month or so they'll sort things out
By Grizzled Cola Go To PostHe wipes gaf, starts again, for a small while people complain, gaf rises again, I genuinely think we overestimate how many people care, ill still go there and post so long as it has interesting discussions and things to read.Even if it has interesting discussions I cant imagine supporting a site ran by someone who made those insane comments in that Waypoint article.
How the fuck is resetera gonna grow? cant open up registrations for fear of GGers but too many old gaf ppl probably wont have their emails they signed up with.

I think you're right. EviLore was pretty hands off anyway except for when he had something to say so it's not like he shapes every community thread. People will just stick to their little corner because it's where their friends are.

You know how Mark Zuckerberg has that whole thing where it appears he can't be an actual human and seems like an alien trying to be human, Malka has the same thing except I honestly think he's just Dennis Reynolds
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostGAF community is gonna be split into two. This is what's gonna happen.I think being split in two is a best case. It's splintering all over the place. People will follow certain users, but in the end I don't think there's any way the community splits as evenly as 50/50.
By Fliesen Go To Postyeah, the wider the range / spectrum of reasonably moderated / populated forums the better, imho. GAF was too big …
the EU should really have forced GAF to be broken apart into multiple platforms, years ago!
The tears on Neogaf when the EU took some money off a big US company would be nothing compared to that.

EL was also one of the biggest shit posters on GAF. He'd pop in to threads and actively break his own TOS to attack and insult people.
By Violet_0 Go To Postthe Japan thread is over at OT community, I forgot the poster's name (Mikku-something?) but he's is a treasure trove of information. I want to go there next Summer, he already recommended me some cheap airlines and stuff, awesome guy
the indie dev thread in gaming, if you're interested in making games
the art self-study thread in OT, if that's you're kind of thing
lots of other good threads, particularly in Community

By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostGAF community is gonna be split into two. This is what's gonna happen.More like 3-4 fractions. The gaming side had very little intersection with the OT side anyway.

I honestly think Tyler has positioned himself on such a lofty plateau of assumed-progressive morality that he truly thinks he has done nothing wrong and he is the biggest victim.
If somebody wants to account suicide in a way that’s gonna get eyes on your thread just make a title something like this
“LEAKED: SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY CONTAINS LOOT BOXES”
Then just go ham on whatever you wanna say in the thread.

Its so weird browsing the last moments gaf was up before it went down last. It feels like the internet version of walking into a dead town in a video game trying to piece together whats happened and where. You've got topics with people trying to get themselves banned, topics trying to get Evilore to step down, community threads trying quickly to organize on discord or somwhere else, other threads are just obvious to whats going on around them, ect. It's like the last moments before the end of the world (and it kinda was in a way).

By tino Go To PostMore like 3-4 fractions. The gaming side had very little intersection with the OT side anyway.I barely ever posted on the gaming side but when I did, it was odd how many people I didn't recognize from there. It really was like two completely different websites.

going well then
By Grizzled Cola Go To PostHe wipes gaf, starts again, for a small while people complain, gaf rises again, I genuinely think we overestimate how many people care, ill still go there and post so long as it has interesting discussions and things to read.Personally, I refuse to go to the site. I stopped in 2012 after the first allegation, I have no interest in being associated with that scumbag, even if there were some cool people there I couldn’t deal with contributing to his successful forum because of gaming topics and news.
Like I hope the hunter x hunter threads still there just locked. And all the mafia threads in other community
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostDiscord is officially on lockdown. No one can post a link without mods permission.You can't post a link to other DIscord servers. You can post normal URLs.
I like this forum and I see a lot of posters I like are on this site already, if reset era just want's to be gaf 2.0 with strict rules then I can't say I'm interested. I hope people latch onto something soon though permanently because gosh I miss having multiple threads open with different topics and communities updating constantly.

OT is not gonna be there. Best to use the archive posted previously to grab any info you need.
They should have kept quiet about resetera or whatever until it was ready. They need to only let those that gaf members in and close registration until things calm down a bit because the gg's won't let them setup.
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostDiscord is officially on lockdown. No one can post a link without mods permission.Gamergators got in? Shocking
By Grizzled Cola Go To PostI do want to read the new forum though, I must see what is "acceptable" posting
it'll be just like gaf and I mean that in both a good and bad way. Gaf for all its faults did try and drive out the worst of gaming culture (just look at something like 4chan or reddit to see what it didn't have to put up with) but in doing so it created this intense line that was easy to step over and good people were getting picked off.
By John Rabbit Go To PostYou can't post a link to other DIscord servers. You can post normal URLs.Shit, I didn't know that.
I really do think 95% of GAF users have no clue what happened and just think the site is down and will go back oblivious. I mean hell, I have had the NBA threads here bookmarked for over a year and checked them often and I assumed GAF was just down for maintenance for nearly the first full day till I noticed this thread popping up as active.

Very nice.
By null Go To Postit'll be just like gaf and I mean that in both a good and bad way.

I think Reset Era can only really work if it doesn't just try to be exactly like Gaf was before the site went down. It needs to be better then what gaf was to really attract and bring people back but at the same time you know people from gamergate are going to try and destroy it in any way they can.
By Grizzled Cola Go To PostThey know they have to get it up and get a wave of people in before gaf gets back to normal, they cant really compete if their sole goal is competing, they will just turn into a fringe platform, as I said I imagine 90% of gaf users just think the sites down and do not give a shit and just want it back up.Honestly they got some good connections.
Shinobi knows plenty of people in the industry, Emily Rogers as well.
ZhugeEX is the perfect guy for sale topics and the likes. Nibel is pretty popular and got a huge following on Twitter.
While I agree that they don't have a chance, if they're just trying to compete and Malka opens up today, I think they got a good chance to establish themselves rather well. Still, there are some huge question marks. Not only those hateful cunts that will invade that place, but also setting up a forum, structuring everything and setting a clear path for both users and moderators.
It will be a huge task and it won't be a smooth ride from the start.
By LionPride Go To PostGaming Side: Dumpster fire
OT: A bigger Dumpster Fire

Meh ... the OT in large part is what drove the liberal mindset on GAF (for better or worse at times). It's kinda like how unions set industry wage but non union workers in that industry hate unions.
By Ref_Fuji Go To PostHow the fuck is resetera gonna grow? cant open up registrations for fear of GGers but too many old gaf ppl probably wont have their emails they signed up with.Well evilore plans to bring neogaf back up very soon it'll be easy to prove you have an acct there

Hey guys, ex-GAFer here. I've been reading parts of the thread and was wondering what ResetEra is. Thanks in advance.
