Yeah, that's totally going to work.
This is confirmed?
By Francis Go To PostNo mentions of EviLore or NeoGAF allowed on Reset…What, exactly, it's the big deal with this? Like..guy owns NeoGAF and folks are moving on from that place. So many other ways to discuss the turd..why must it happen there at the moment? Fuck that guy..
Yeah, that's totally going to work.
By Napoleonthechimp Go To PostI just don't trust other forums. GAF's moderation might have been strict to some, but look at the BS it had to hold back on a regular basis.
Even with pre-existing accounts a lot of them feel its now justifiable to be an asshole.
If the alternative place doesn't launch soon and neogaf doesn't sort out its moderator issue soon (I imagine it will as the place makes evilore money) then I don't know if there's anywhere to go.
Well it's 2017 so expect the worst. It's possible resetera crash and burn (no scratch that, resetera get hacked and member info get released) and Elflore relaunch OT to retain most of neogaf's member population. *According to keikaku*
“Good, Gaf was too full of SJWs and it never felt like we could speak our minds. Now maybe we can move on without being judged and censored”
“Good heavens, is that a picture of two men kissing!? Stop posting porn! I’m disgusted, where are the mods!?”
lol

By sonnyboychris Go To PostYep, which is why we're all here and on diff Discords. You saw a real desire for people to continue these established relationships, even if it was just lurking.Yeah, even loose, micro-communities. As disheartening and unsurprising I’ve found all the shit eating gamers finally saying awful things out loud, I was also pleasantly surprised by a number of people who were also low profile but walked away because they valued a community that didn’t throw away human dignity and decency like it was nothing.
Say what you want about mods, unjust bans, covering up and whatnot, but that community was fostered by the vigilance of mods and members.
Malka being the owner was immaterial 90% of the time, when he’d just shit post every now and then, be an asshole to random users or pat himself on the back with pretentious gestures.
By Francis Go To PostNo mentions of EviLore or NeoGAF allowed on Reset…TBH, I can see how it would make sense. This isn’t The Bore, KiA or Voat. This isn’t supposed to be a community designed as a negative of another community, constantly watching it and commenting on it.
Yeah, that's totally going to work.
I mean, things are still fresh, people are still nuking themselves and the whole thing is current news, but there will come a point when we’ll all have to let go and seriously stop caring about what happens on an nth gaming shithole. The last thing we all want is to become these sad fuckers who watch other boards, create alts to shit post and all these things. Like, even this thread shouldn’t be too long lived.
(I agree there should be a single thread dedicated to it in a near future though)
By Napoleonthechimp Go To PostI just don't trust other forums. GAF's moderation might have been strict to some, but look at the BS it had to hold back on a regular basis.This place seems 👍🏽 in the year or so I've lurked. Still progressive but also really chill. This is going to be my permanent home as well unless the founder is hiding some dark secret like being a Penn State fan.

By Inflatablemidget Go To PostAfter being here for a few days, going back to reading GAF is like going from playing games on a PS4 to playing games on a Wii. That site is just fugly.
Seriously though - as someone who mainly browses on mobile (my works firewall is ridiculous) - this site is beautiful compared to NG.
Of course that’s because the guys who made this site are pros.
By ned_ballad Go To Post“Good, Gaf was too full of SJWs and it never felt like we could speak our minds. Now maybe we can move on without being judged and censored”LMAO
“Good heavens, is that a picture of two men kissing!? Stop posting porn! I’m disgusted, where are the mods!?”
lol
Goddamnit people on GAF need to go back to showing regular/animated porn and not fake news on ban threads. Getting my hopes up....
By Napoleonthechimp Go To PostI just don't trust other forums. GAF's moderation might have been strict to some, but look at the BS it had to hold back on a regular basis.Look at where you're posting.

Definitely should be corralled into a thread on the new site. Not banning the conversations. That's totally an Evilore thing to do. Hopefully the growing pains on the new site will be brief. I expect some issues.
The people founding resetera need to hangout on SL&ENT a bit and learn what moderation should be. Here we are talking about two other forums openly. Think about it. Let the people talk about what they want to talk about and frankly the past GAF stuff is relevant. Maybe in 6 months it won't be, but it is now and will be for some time as people try and find a home after their last burned down so suddenly.
By Gordon Shumway Go To PostLMAOThe kicker is that the image wasn’t even porn. It’s just two dudes kissing, and was posted to prove a point.
By Vagabundo Go To PostDefinitely should be corralled into a thread on the new site. Not banning the conversations. That's totally an Evilore thing to do. Hopefully the growing pains on the new site will be brief. I expect some issues.This is what I think eventually will happen, to be honest. You gotta cut these folks a little slack..they're gonna be dealing with legit users + the assholes that sneak in to cause bullshit. This is likely a way to draw those folks out..
By W Go To PostAll I know is that handshake gate was amazingHaha ridiculous just to read that lol
By ned_ballad Go To PostThe kicker is that the image wasn’t even porn. It’s just two dudes kissing, and was posted to prove a point.So confirmation some of these people never leave their homes if two guys kissing is enough to get them worked up.
By Francis Go To PostNo mentions of EviLore or NeoGAF allowed on Reset…
Yeah, that's totally going to work.
One of the biggest mistakes Evilore recently made is the censorship of sensitive situations in the neogaf community. I feel censoring all neogaf/evilore talk from the get go is a mistake. Just make a central thread for it and let it go it's course, while keeping all the other threads clean. Though I am not sure how you can ban neogaf talk in general.
By ned_ballad Go To Post“Good, Gaf was too full of SJWs and it never felt like we could speak our minds. Now maybe we can move on without being judged and censored”
“Good heavens, is that a picture of two men kissing!? Stop posting porn! I’m disgusted, where are the mods!?”
lol
good heavens
By Francis Go To PostNo mentions of EviLore or NeoGAF allowed on Reset…For real? I can kind of understand quarantining it to a single thread but a total ban would be incredibly stupid
Yeah, that's totally going to work.
By rjinaz10 Go To PostSo confirmation some of these people never leave their homes if two guys kissing is enough to get them worked up.I mean..it IS NeoGAF, after all lol.
By rjinaz10 Go To PostSo confirmation some of these people never leave their homes if two guys kissing is enough to get them worked up.
so would you say they are... special snowflakes?
By Kidjr Go To PostThis is confirmed?This was posted in that discord thingamajig:
After long discussions among the staff and with the community, we have decided, together, that we want ResetEra to be a real, tangible fresh start. We’d like to look to the future and leave any baggage behind. That’s why towards that end we humbly ask you not to post threads or repeat posts about NeoGAF or its owner. You all know me especially, for the most part. I always love and welcome free thought and free discussion. So from the team, this is in no way meant to shut that down, but instead a path to avoid unnecessary complications with other parties. I think most will understand what that means. We hope you understand. Thanks all.I don't agree with it, but whatever. It's their joint and I wish them luck.

Maybe in 6 months it won't be, but it is now and will be for some time as people try and find a home after their last burned down so suddenly.Yup! And if they are worried about it spilling over and members making repetitive threads just make a single thread for people to talk about it. Just like this one :D
By MonadL Go To PostThis place seems 👍🏽 in the year or so I've lurked. Still progressive but also really chill. This is going to be my permanent home as well unless the founder is hiding some dark secret like being a Penn State fan.The worst thing I learned about the founder is they use the light theme.
By Deadbeat Go To PostSo what does Gromph do?
Seems to be sysadmin work.
By rjinaz10 Go To PostSad to see they are making the same mistakes gaf made. Make a thread, contain it to that. Pretending it doesn't exist and silencing people is in part why GAF had the reputation it did. I also don't agree with carrying over bans. Though, I can understand it for the time being but that should be lifted eventually. It's either a RESET or it's not. So far it's clearly not. It's a reload last save.
Yeah I think it should be talked about but I wouldn't want it to hang around forever. I don't think any of the ResetERA mods are old GAF mods so it's not like we will get any special insight. Also I heard that they weren't carrying over bans. They don't have access to the bans list and all they can use GAF for is to verify membership during this initial phase. After that I assume registration will work just like GAF's. That said I'm not in any of the Discords or anything. Just hangin out here
So, just came across that pic of Resetera's staff list and bronsonlee is a mod? Wait what. And morrigan? As in morrigan stark?
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
By Francis Go To PostNo mentions of EviLore or NeoGAF allowed on Reset…surely they realize the irony in this
Yeah, that's totally going to work.
By ned_ballad Go To PostI wonder if they’re afraid of legal action from EviloreThat's probably the case, yes.
By ned_ballad Go To PostI wonder if they’re afraid of legal action from EviloreOnly if they do something stupid like take the member list with the emails to block people from registering under a new name. Thats private info and any exchange of hands is not going to fly.
By Xpike Go To Postsurely they realize the irony in thisThat that's exactly what Tyler does and a big part of why GAF burnt down in the firsr place? Apparently not.
By W Go To PostAll I know is that handshake gate was amazing
LOL so much nonsense with this dude that I just missed somehow even browsing GAF daily. The friggin ego is unbelievable.
I dunno from the statement it sounds like they might be creating one thread for it and not allowing people to create their own or derail threads with discussing it. That would be a better option, I want a place to discuss what happened but I don't want it to infect and overshadow a fresh start. We gotta deal with it though.
"to the gasps and aghast facial expression" jesus calm down.
Xbox did get a little weird during 2013 and 2014 though. I mean a lot of their higherups were posting and Penello even made bet(s) with members that were never followed through on. I see why they stopped posting and got overwhelmed but they weren't blameless. Still when they came back to try and talk about stuff, people were still throwin those receipts in their faces. Sometimes it's funny ribbing and sometimes it would be nice to have a conversation with those types of inside people because of the perspective they may bring.

Same here. They wanting to keep the conversation contained seems like reasonable, same like here or on any other board.
Heck even Tyler is allowing the talk about the accusation, but he's keeping it contained for now. When you make Tyler look good...
Yeah, a contained thread is ideal.

By DerZuhälter Go To PostRemember how skinthinned he acted when he got snubbed for E3 2016's press badge? Hilarious. He acted like a pompous ass even though he had absolute no right to get one at all.Him being invited for any event now will be interesting.
EDIT: Time flies. It was E3 2014.

By rjinaz10 Go To PostHeck even Tyler is allowing the talk about the accusation, but he's keeping it contained for now. When you make Tyler look good…"Contained"? What do you mean? It's happening on literally every thread there, not mentioning the suicide threads. It seems reasonable that mods here or ANYWHERE would like to keep the topic contained to a single thread. They don't need to come in advance and explain that's what they will do, it seems like common sense that's what how they'll approach it.
Yeah, a contained thread is ideal.
By Auto Simeone Go To PostMan, the Neo Nazis are really moving in, I've seen people using SJW today more than I ever have.On reset?
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostOn reset?On gaf.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostOn reset?On GAF. It's their house now. Until they are overtyly neonazi. Then they are banned, too. So it will become no one's house.
