By Tence Go To PostI remember Anti. She was a cool girl. Then she was suddenly gone :(I had been posting less and less for months and openly criticising EviLore and that one weird alien-like mod who hung out at GirlGaf.
It was bound to happen. At least I got to laugh a bit today when I read the news of a certain Tyler Malka keeping on with his uber-alphaness.
By DLH Go To PostI'm curious to see what they do with Resetera, but honestly I'm happy to stick around here, so I'm not even looking for an invite at this point. If it grows into a thriving community in a year's time, great, I might join (in addition to staying here). But right now I like that this site is not trying too hard to be GAF, but it's close enough to feel comfortable.The thing about ResetEra is that while it has been earmarked as the new home for many of GAF's estranged communities, we're talking about a new forum with some inexperienced moderators along with some mods who may be carrying their own negative baggage from GAF along with them (not taking away the lessons from GAF that should be taken away) that is going to be targeted mercilessly by the alt-right from Day 1. I mean, hell, they put out an APB yesterday on anyone who had the audacity to simply follow the official ResetEra account on Twitter.
It's going to be an uphill battle. It's not hard to envision a scenario where it all falls apart and SL&ENT quietly thrives in the background.

Surprisingly I'm still not banned. So that definitely means it is just Tyler modding, no other way about it. That or my witty lyrical parody went over his head.
By AngryMoth Go To PostThere is a thread over there expressing concern for the people who frequented the mental health community thread which I think is a very good point. I used to post there occasionally but haven't been in there for years. Did they have their own discord? Also, some of the replies to that thread are fucking gross, holy shit. Once the dust settles it's gonna be nothing but scum left on that site.
Yeah, I just saw that thread and it’s pretty grimy. At least there were no unpleasant surprises with who was posting what

Perhaps get into a shower and start throwing up. That should attract his attention.

Nah, you deserve it. Welcome.

By Uber_Tag Go To PostTyler's not one for wit or subtlety. You might need to connect the dots for him.I even mention that in my lyrical jab. What more does this man need from me!

By Yharnam Go To PostI don't know how the eff GAF went over my head, but you're right.
It's not that I want to doubt them, it just seems like a herculean task that could crumble once the emotion of this whole thing fades and reality sets in. I just don't see how adults with lives can keep something of GAF's size afloat without funding and the technical resources to maintain a community that size.
I dunno, maybe Cerium's a secret billionaire or something.
It's really just a matter of:
- Picking the right forum software
- Purchasing hosting that can scale up and having the funding so that the lights aren't suddenly turned off if too many people go there.
- Making sure the site is protected from DDOS/hacking attempts
- Setting good rules/policies
- Picking a good team of moderators who will follow the rules
- Rolling out things fast enough to have an active community, but not overwhelming the mods/site
They have plenty of people interested in moving over, so that part won't be a problem.
By giririsss Go To PostAlso ashep, it has not gone unnoticed by the mods that a lot of our existing users have gone out of their way to welcome new people.;)
Users that have absolutely no stake in the site, other than enjoying the communities that were already here. Not mods, not founders, not psy. Just regulars.
If the visitors didn't notice, we did, and genuinely appreciate it. (We also think that speaks volumes about the site, but we're biased).
drinking and grabbing asses, drinking and going into shower completely naked at unsuspecting woman. Women in open relationship and later has sex with drunk man .
Sounds like gaf and it’s owner/users/mods were part of a sex cult . I mean which normal folks does this in everyday life

Yeah I remember that. I always liked you as a poster and person though on GAF, so I was sad when you got banned. So it is pretty cool to meet you again.
Gromph is also shown as active in his statement thread. That is, unless Tyler is just using it to look like he has a mod team.

By Laboured Go To PostAnd whoa I remember Anti from what seems like an age ago. Some many older faces here.I've been out of the loop for years, but I knew about this place and well, I had to get some gossip on. It is weird seeing people talk about me on the first page lol, it's been so long. I assumed only dy_nasty and Slayven would remember.
I am also juuuust reading about amir0x being a pedophile? Jesus
By FootbalIFan Go To PostIs he the one that posted those templates?Thanks! This PM system is super-slick. I can't believe you guys made this thing.

By PhoenixMilk Go To PostGromph is also shown as active in his statement thread. That is, unless Tyler is just using it to look like he has a mod team.Isn't he there only to keep the forum up?
By Mrkaepora Go To PostMade my introduction in the appropriate thread but just wanted to give my I don't know what happened on that trip between EL and the girl that started all this but the two don't seem ok in the head. One because is not the first time that EL is accused of inapropriat behaviour and two because that interview doesn't paint a good mental picture of the girl involved - her main reason to share the story was a hashtag…the fuck?!I'm giving you the benefit of doubt here.
You may have missed that there is a whole movement currently going through twitter and facebook, with victims of abuse to come out with posting a "me too" on their accounts.
She is talking now about it, because she felt, at last, save about speaking up.
A lot of victims are ashamed or afraid to do that, and the "me too" movement gave her the courage to speak up.
By #ForzaMilan Go To PostIsn't he there only to keep the forum up?Could be, yeah.
Whelp that's me done then, no special message sadly so I guess they didn't take too kindly to my super amazing Bel-Air parody.
By TheMikado Go To PostThanks! This PM system is super-slick. I can't believe you guys made this thing.Just pm'd you but in case anyone else is curious:

Perhaps mods should put it in the OP of the main OT thread
By Finale Fireworker Go To PostIt was a really hard downfall. I was one of those members that was always on the forum and nearly all my online interaction took place there. No more social media, only light usage on reddit, and Twitter for emergencies. When I saw the writing on the wall and realized what was going to happen, I desperately started messaging other members to maintain contact. There were so many people I saw every single day - faces in the form of avatars - and the thought of never seeing them again fucked me right up. I took GAF for granted.Missed you, man!
I sent PMs to people I never even spoke directly to before. But when faced with losing them, suddenly everyone was family. I'm glad I did that because it helped a lot of us network and connect after the site went down for good. We got into the ResetEra Discord and have been doing digital disaster relief ever since.
I am trying not to admit how tough it was for me to lose the forum. It was really, really important to me. It had plenty of problems and there were ways I wished the forum was better, but it was the best community I was ever part of. I miss it dearly already. But I'm focusing on what's next. If we all move forward together, there will be nothing to miss.
It has the benefit of community enthusiasm, at least. But in that same way we are also vulnerable. Cerium and Co could ask for crowdfunding through Patreon or something to support the site, and hundreds of people would do it, but there's still no guarantee the site will survive. We will have the benefit of starting smaller - we won't be 100,000 people overnight. My hope is that they're taking the responsibility of running the site seriously. If we are aware of these concerns, hopefully they are too.
Pls don't fan my ego and make me cry at the same time. I am vulnerable.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostThat user is Purple Mug.I also posted the template they created in the OT dibs thread.
That mental health thread, fucking hell so many lack any sort of empathy at all. Although EL himself has already shown he doesn't give a fuck about people with mental health issues with those statements so...
By Banzai Go To PostMan, it's so sad to watch. People throwing around terms like "sjw" or "faggot" like it's nothing. Call the old NeoGaf a hivemind or safespace all you like, but at least didn't have to see that kind of shit whenever I opened a thread back then.
Neogaf will now be what it always was supposed to be.
A website dedicated to "Ethics in gaming journalism."
...This is so disappointing... It really was the community in OT, that made the place as good as it was.
So I just got into work (25 minutes late of course) and this is STILL going on....

By Banzai Go To PostUff, now you need to be vetted to get into ResetERA? I usually just posted everywhere back on gaf and wasn't really plugged into any communities. Don't use discord, either.Yeah this is my problem too. I guess I was relatively active in some Nintendo threads so maybe I can weasel my way in if someone in the Nintendo Gaf community recognises me but I don't even know how I'd get there attention (or if they even like me :P).
Guess I'll be lost a little while longer. If nothing else I assume I can at least lurk resetera.
Oh well, can't hurt to just go through the normal sign up process. I'm pretty happy here on SL&ENT right now and I'll keep an eye how this rebooted version of gaf pans out (I don't think I'll ever post there again but I'm curious to see how the community develops after this mass exodus, at least in the short term).
By Meus Renaissance Go To PostYou can leave a house without knocking the plants off tables. It just seems petty and childish. Remember, people are leaving because they don't want to be associated with a certain kind of behaviour.For every outspoken account suicide, there will be a dozen or more quiet departures of valued, respected GAF contributors who will leave alongside them without raising a peep.
The value that the public display of upheaval has right this instant is to hammer home to the few remaining folks in denial that everything that made GAF great is leaving. This is NOT business as usual. Having an admitted sexual perpetrator owning the place and blaming his victim and the OT community for his strife is NOT business as usual. So knocking some plants off tables to hammer that message home is warranted.
It'll be less warranted after the initial 24-48 hours runs its course. Then, it'll be petty and childish. If those folks aren't leaving now, they're probably not going anywhere and aren't worth fighting for. They can remain in Tyler's safe space and talk all they want about video games.

I agree with this entire post. I only had my account since a couple of months, but I've been lurking there since 08 (my account took fucking 9 years to get approved, no joke). I can enter Neogaf now, but it's super bleak and kind of disgusting, especially because you know what kind of people are still there.
I'm not into the ResetEra discord, but I'm really eager to see it work and for it to become my new super used bookmark (I can't count the number of times that I've clicked the Gaf bookmark this past days when it was down just because of my muscle memory lol)
