By Angelus Errare Go To PostGuys, making a thread saying "Delete my account" doesn't actually get your account deleted; they just ban your account indefinitely but keep all your posts in the db. You gotta PM Grumph, he's the sysadmin who handles that.I was wondering about that - looking at the memeber count on the bottom of the first page, it's still 100k + members there.
By Napoleonthechimp Go To PostFrom my own personal experience "Mods leaving due to evilore" and "mods leaving due being harassed by a-holes" are both equally valid, but I'd like to think they'd need some pretty solid evidence of the former. Mostly because I'm not a big fan of mob justice based on nothing but an accusation, just because of what it says about people and humanity's desire for blood lust.I mean...the mods interacted with him on a daily basis. They all have their own justifications for leaving the forum. They also in some cases were around him physically as well.
But to be honest all I want is a news aggregate service on the same level as off-topic.
Unless you meant that we need evidence to prove that they left because of Evilore? I don't know. I think Kotaku's and Waypoint's articles are pretty good indication of that.
By Napoleonthechimp Go To PostTo be honest asking for a ban is kind of pointless. It won't ever stop you from going back and lurking. If refreshing that place is hardwired into your brain then you'll keep on doing it until you train yourself not to.The easiest way to to counteract the 10+ years of muscle memory is to just remove the site from your bookmarks/sidebar.
Having to type in the url yourself goes a long way to help you not go there on autopilot and then wondering "what the fuck am I even doing here?" /closes tab only to do it again 10 minutes later.
It certainly seems to help for me.
Also building up a community centred around things that interests you takes time, so instead of sitting back and just enjoying reading posts on all kinds of retro gaming topics, I'm going to try and be more active myself, put some more effort into creating posts that others might enjoy and get them to play some classics and talk about some great games. :)

I wonder if they will actually delete the accounts tbh.
By Napoleonthechimp Go To PostOff-topic doesn't exist now (edit: the community portion seems up). I don't care about the gaming part of it.Evillores explanation to the mods was pretty pathetic. I'd have bailed out too. Particularly as it was thankless job. They weren't paid. Why should they now go an spend 7 straight days cleaning up his mess.
I'll go where the main contributors go.

One of the things we wnat to focus on more is content creators and making life easier for them by giving you more tools on the site.
So Elflore brought OT community forum back already. I bet a dollar he will "relaunch" OT before the resetera thing. He just need to signup some GG mods to get OT up and running hehehe.
This shipwreck seem to be still afloat yet.

I think at least 1000 have been added in the past 24hrs.

I have a ton of classic video game magazines for instance, that I scan, restore and release digitally, most of which are done with the blessing of the original creators. So in that regard I have a ton of great content lying around that might interest retro gamers. Mostly stuff that can be hard to come by these days as tons of those magazines have been thrown out over the years.
By Tence Go To PostI wonder if they will actually delete the accounts tbh.
Grumph's actually been honoring the requests as long as you're nice in asking for it. (as anyone should since he is not Evilore).

Probably, Lore has gone on record over the years stating that there is always a huge amount of people trying to get in, they only let in so many at a time. I imagine he's letting a bit more in at a time now to make up for those who left.
even though Im very keen to get onto resetera, the very short time ive been here has been very positive. I think i'll be staying either way.
Very impressed with everything.
I'll try to contribute to this place.

I understand mods leaving because it's such a tough situation and they're not being paid but honestly I'm too pessimistic and have seen too many "good people" be indifferent towards the suffering of others to take moral outrage seriously anymore.
To be honest I think neogaf reached a critical mass (I'm talking active users rather than total) with this kind of thing being inevitable at that point. So I have no real issue with alternative forums if that's what people think is best for them.

By meppi64 Go To PostThe easiest way to to counteract the 10+ years of muscle memory is to just remove the site from your bookmarks/sidebar.I don't have it as a bookmark. I literally type the first letter and the full URL pops up immediately. I've found myself doing it automatically without a single thought. At this point I'm too deep into it to let go.

By blastprocessor Go To PostAre Slaent involved with Resetera then?
No, they're just letting the refugees come here.
No we are not, I guess just a friendly neighboring forum but we have no direct affiliation to Resetera.
By meppi64 Go To PostI'll do my best. :)Shit, you're going to waste WAY too much of my free time.

I'd read all of that.
Do you use a particular site to publish them "magazine" style?
By blastprocessor Go To PostAre Slaent involved with Resetera then?No, we're not afilliated in anyway.
We know the people behind it, They're ok people. But we're not "working together" if that makes sense.
By blastprocessor Go To PostAre Slaent involved with Resetera then?There's members here, such as Forever, who are working on building ResetEra, however the mods here are mostly just trying to give old neogaf users a nice place to stay, temporary or otherwise.
By blastprocessor Go To PostAre Slaent involved with Resetera then?
GAF, Slaent, The Bore, React are in no way affliated with one another other than the fact there are people who went from one forum to another., you have people who are members of all of them, but other than that they're all independent of one another.
By blastprocessor Go To PostAre Slaent involved with Resetera then?We have no affiliation.
We've existed for years.
We all know Its a difficult time for the communities to regroup
And we welcome them to regroup and settle here. If not i hope they find a forum best suited for them.
By Bishop89 Go To Posteven though Im very keen to get onto resetera, the very short time ive been here has been very positive. I think i'll be staying either way.Same.

Everyone has been so nice here that I'm on high alert for some sort of Misery/David from TLoU moment.
By Ruga Go To PostYou're big boys. You can use multiple forums at the same time, for whatever reason you want.Just been use to sticking with 1 community for so long.

He still hasn’t responded to my request. :/

Not surprising, he's the sysadmin/dba, he's now one of three mods, and he's getting PMs about deleting accounts. The guy is swamped.
it has probably been mentioned and I missed it but... if I try to browse Besada's ERA Twitter, it gives me this questionable content warning. what's that about

Evillore really fucked up with closing neogaf for so long. It's like it created a whole army against him.
