By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostSo, they're doing registrations in waves. Basically you'll need to be invited for now.How are they going to invite us?
Do it like Valve and give every user 5 invites and sort of branch it out organically over time?
By CoolOff Go To PostThe more I think about it the more pissed I am that I might not be able to get a hold of my subbed threads.
There were a ton of good threads and OTs that I'm gonna miss, yeah.
By sunshine and gasoline Go To PostThere was also a plugin that allowed admins to read them in admincp iirc.personally i dont give a shit if a mod read my pm's and banned me. whatever, i was done with gaf for a while anyways. im just warning yall to realize that pm's ain't secure so watch ya neck lol
By Irikan Go To PostNah dude there's hawaiian pizza with bacon instead of ham, it's the shitYou meant "it's shit" because still has pineapple on it.
By LGHT_TRSN Go To PostOh definitely, as soon as I saw red names start to pop up I knew it was usually time to GFTO.
GAF moderation was very heavy handed, and I have no doubt there are many who were unfairly banned, but it was nice watching trolls crash and burn regularly.
I'm digging this place so far.
... When we wanted to ban people we didn't post. It's bad optics when you engage with someone and end up having to ban them. If I was responding to someone, it was because I actually wanted to respond to them and have them respond to me. I was frankly betting that they weren't going to do something dumb enough to get themselves banned (because that just makes me look bad).
We actually felt the same way, about being a moderator shutting down discussion. I know I posted a lot less often after becoming a moderator, and became more self-conscious about how I posted. I wish we had had something like a toggle function, so let us post as regular posters when just participating, and toggle on to moderator status to do moderation related things like ending a derail.
Of course, sometimes no moderators were posting because no one was reading….
By W Go To PostThis is how Mumeis PM inbox looked on GAF. Andreson777 was a football gaf member who was in love with his cousin, alcohol and Mumei.
holy shit i cant believe you still have this
im dying all over again :lol :lol
By s y Go To PostIf you put pineapple on pizza then you can't say shit about my eating habits.
Breh you put ketchup on "sushi"
stop. We have a thread full of reciepts.
My college email is actually my main "professional" email that's personal. You get to keep the email address even after graduation. Very nice of them!
By Meus Renaissance Go To PostMost of the Moderators I interacted with were understanding, decent and helpful. As the number grew over the years, however, this was no longer true.
There were Moderators there who didn't like particular posters and would use any pretext to ban them. Some of the messages that accompanied a ban were incredibly personal and vindictive.
One thread, during the 2016 election, Mike Pence made a comment that he enjoyed riding horses. The entire thread then turns into jokes about beastiality.
Exhibit A on why people had issues with the moderating. One of my bans was complete utter bullshit and incredibly unprofessional. Not sure if I have an SS of it still.
By ned_ballad Go To PostHow would they even have access to our GAF emails? I don't think they're planning on using those.
What else are they gonna use? Discord invites?
By s y Go To PostIf you put pineapple on pizza then you can't say shit about my eating habits.I might be new around here but I caught that fridge chicken sandwich and the scorched shrimp.
You’re every bit as guilty as those pineapple lovers my dude
By ned_ballad Go To PostHow would they even have access to our GAF emails? I don't think they're planning on using those.I assume an account is going to be used on GAF to send out invites through PM because you're right, I don't see how they can possibly have our GAF emails.
By ned_ballad Go To PostHow would they even have access to our GAF emails? I don't think they're planning on using those.
There was no way they would have it unless they took them from GAF. If that’s the case then have fun with the lawsuit ResetEra.
yeah I mean I still use the e-mail I used to sign up on GAF but I don't see how they'd have access to that info. not to mention I was an incredibly sparse poster. probably not getting into the new site any time soon lol
By ned_ballad Go To PostHow would they even have access to our GAF emails? I don't think they're planning on using those.
Wasn't Stump pretty much running the site? Wouldn't really surprise me if he had a back-up or something. Not sure about the legality angle of that, though.
By ned_ballad Go To PostHow would they even have access to our GAF emails? I don't think they're planning on using those.
Honestly, them having my email when I didn't expressly give it to them would be wrong. They shouldn't possess, let alone use, information I didn't grant them.
This is theoretical, of course. The email I actually used was a throwaway ISP account.
By JigglesBunny Go To PostI might be new around here but I caught that fridge chicken sandwich and the scorched shrimp.floor chicken is better than pineapple on pizza

I wonder if Tyler's new GAF will be like that screencap of people saying they are boycotting Modern Warfare 2 playing Modern Warfare 2? GAF legit taught me to be a better person and opened me up to so many different communities and people, but it seemed like the last two years or so Gaming-side and OT were at odds with each other. Gaming side didn't really like OT by the end there. I wonder if a lot of people who were only into GAF for Gaming side will overlook this and just go back? A lot of GAF was built on kind of a cult of personality anyway centered around Tyler. I'm betting he thinks this will probably all blow over and there will be a bunch of people lining up to be new mods, members, etc. and he'll blame it on GAF haters and Gamer Gaters.
One of the strengths of the Neogaf community was that Off-Topic allowed members to remain engaged with the forum as they had increasingly less time to play video games. Sports, life and entertainment allowed the community to remain and fit their interests as life changed.
By Palette Swap Go To PostThe one time I caught a ban was one month, right before E3, for replying to some idiot “how old are you?”
In retrospect, I wonder if it wasn’t Opiate or Amir0x trying to eliminate the competition.
Opiate? What's the story there?
By John Rabbit Go To PostI'd assume they'd be sending invites to everyone in the Discord first?There are like over a thousand people on there. For some of us who never even had a chance to get in, that would be pretty lame. Especially if some idiot stole my name or something.

Tyler is going to ride the hate money train because he obviously doesn't give a fuck about optics going by the waypoint interview.

But there were a few groups rumoured to be datamining all info from gaf at the end. Essentially stealing any public facing info.
Which, if anyone used to launch a new site.... I'm sure EL will be happy about and not do anything at all.

Tyler barely ever posted, so I wouldn't really say it was a cult of personality. I could see a lot of the gaming side only users going back, mind.
The more you think about it, the more you realise how fucking simple Evilore had it.
This dude was living the fucking life, travelling the world, could afford to indulge in luxuries - everything, and all he had to do was not be a fucking creep.

We saw fridge chicken and those floor shrimps.

Yeah, I wasn't able to be very active when the discord stuff was spinning up and it's been seemingly impossible to get in since.

Those fucks have a pastebin filled with GAF names and real names. Watch yourself.

So it seems guys in the ERA server are getting there info posted online. Fuck. Anyone in that server want to check, or if you're friends with anyone that is.

if they use your email from gaf, im almost 99% positive that's illegal. at work i manage mailchimp newsletters for different departments and you cannot take email addresses from one department's list and move them to another department's list. that's completely illegal because the user never gave you approval to use their email.
So how these resetera admins going to know who to invite? I wasn't quick enough to get in to the Discord before they closed the gates.
Shit. I just realized all twelve of us won’t be able to celebrate in the AppleTV OT when the Amazon Video app finally releases this week.

Reading the waypoint article put a garbage taste in my mouth and kind of colored the whole site negatively for me

By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostThose fucks have a pastebin filled with GAF names and real names. Watch yourself.Someone pointed out in Discord that they could have gotten a solid start to that from Twitter itself and by picking out people following resetera there. Everyone on that list at least has a twitter account.
