Oh the new forum's up.
So long and thanks for all the fish. I'm leaving. It's been a fun two and a half years guys but I need to talk videogames again. Bye.

Forgive me if the time for invite begging has passed, but are invites still going out via PM?
I got one from KS earlier, but by the time I saw it it was expired.

By ixel Go To PostI saw you posting in the ashes of GAF and wondered if you'd make an escape. I always appreciated your posts and your impeccable taste in avatar / username. *toasts*
I may have accidentally taken someone elses username from gaf.
Damn, so many posts and threads there, people was really thirsty for a nuGAF. I already have my account there, but I really love this place, so mot likely be posting in both. Plus this place looks way better
By ashep Go To PostThe head admin of resetera really using that eggplant emoji avatar huh? 🤔he had that on gaf too
By Auto Simeone Go To Postdo you even know what a videogame is n8

By n8 dogg Go To PostOh the new forum's up.The comeback of Wilbury.

Never mind then. Still, nice username.

By Method Go To Posthe had that on gaf tooI remember him having some anime girl.
And an Angry Trump Face before that.
By TigerCub Go To PostPossibly, we'll see if reset era becomes the goto place now. The problem is with reddit and social media, a discussion board gaining prominence at the level gaf was is going to be tough. But maybe it doesn't need to.
I'll be signing up for the site once everything settles down.
There will never be another "Gaming-Age Forum/NeoGAF" in terms of prominence/popularity for the exact reasons you stated, IMO. Major enthusiast discussion forums like it are very quickly becoming a thing of the past. I can't speak for any of the reset era crew, but I doubt any of them even want that place to be "the next GAF".
Side note: All this forum migrating prompted me to head back to the ol' Something Awful forums. Their message to GAFugees was worth a chuckle.
EtcEtera really is a stroke of genius.
I don't really get the sign-up flow right now, but I might try to weasel myself in through one of the old communities later on if it looks like it catches on.

By SpottieO Go To PostCan someone help me join Slant discord for accessing to Recetera?
Slant discussion?
Is that like some sort of biased discussion, where everything slants a certain way?
By Method Go To Posthe had that on gaf tooFair enough. Not the biggest of deals but moving on from a forum dying because the owner is a sex predator, and running the new site with a giant cock euphemism as your avatar doesn't scream "reset" to me.
By Gordon Shumway Go To PostDidn't feel any of that at all, brother..we're golden grahams 😉Those look like Cini Minis so yeah, we're definitely good!
By faceless Go To PostEggplant = Penis
By n8 dogg Go To Posthave you ever seen a bulging pulsating veiny penisI figured that's what people were getting at. Thanks for confirmation.

I think ResetEra looks really ugly and has one of those generic standardized/automated forum looks. Also an ugly logo that reminds me of the horrid American SNES. I hope it will develop further in that aspect. In the end, however, it will be all about the content by the community and a lot of great contributors migrated to it. It will be interesting to see where both neogaf and ResetEra will be in a couple of months.
I like Slaent though, so I hope others will stick around as well.

By SpottieO Go To PostCan someone help me join Slaent discord for accessing to Recetera?The closed ResetEra thread has the information you want on the last two pages.
We've been glad to help people find their way after what happened to GAF but ResetEra has officially launched and we can't forever be ResetEra's customer support.
We are happy if you want stay, if you want to use both forums or if you want to leave us for good, as long as you had a nice time here, we are happy.

Hopefully it'll dead the idea that "design is easy, anyone can do it"
It's sad seeing what had happened to NeoGAF recently. I'm not gonna comment on the controversy, I just wanted to share my feeling on losing one of my most beloved site. I wasn't there to see what went down over the weekend. On Monday, I'd finally found out what had happened.
I'm primarily a lurker there but I've been visiting the site since the XBox / PS2 / Gamecube days. I was really into gaming back then and GAF was simply cleaner, more organized, and civilized compare to other forums. In the past 10 years, GAF is probably the only site I've visited regularly.
I've since mostly spend my time around the OT section there. It's always interesting to see different topic and reading posters opinions on things, lol. Anything political is always polarizing but I've always enjoyed reading up on the more well thought out opinions. Now that that's gone and majority of the community left, there's really no point going back.

By cantaim Go To PostShout out to the one dude on Gaf comparing Iwata to Malka. Like that is certainly an opinion you have.I was going to say: "I don't know why but for some reason that really rubs me the wrong way."
But... I actually know all to well why that makes me quite angry.
There are such morons on the face of this planet. :-/
edit: ah, it's JordanN. No surprise there then. :P
By Harmen Go To PostI like Slaent though, so I hope others will stick around as well.I certainly will.
I have little to no interest in joining GAF-B as I wasn't very fond of GAF-A to begin with. ;)

There really doesn't seem to be much "OMG EVILORE IS AWFUL" stuff on ResetEra. Site's running pretty good, and has a ton of activity.
It certainly has way more activity than GAF does right now. Lots of people on GAF trying to get invited to Reset after seeing how smoothly it's going.

By n8 dogg Go To Postanyone who leaves here is dead to me (but they will never know?Several of the new footy members have already jumped ship. 💀
Maybe they'll come back, though. Would be nice.
By Prince of Space Go To PostSide note: All this forum migrating prompted me to head back to the ol' Something Awful forums. Their message to GAFugees was worth a chuckle.Got a link to it? I couldn't find it.
It's cool to see it being so active already but that design ain't great so far. I know gaf was hardly cutting edge, but still. would be rude to just bail on this place already seeing as how decent it looks and nice everyone has been, anyway.
By ned_ballad Go To PostThere really doesn't seem to be much "OMG EVILORE IS AWFUL" stuff on ResetEra. Site's running pretty good, and has a ton of activity.Isn't that because its banned/against the rules though? But yeah it is nice to see a smooth launch so far.

By StrongBelwas Go To PostHello everyone.If your ban didn't stem from posting a picture of yourself taking a giant shit you've disgraced your name.
Another former gaffer looking for a new home. Lurked there for about 5 years before becoming a member couple years ago.
I was mostly active in any threads relating to Resident Evil franchise or horror games in general but loved reading all topics in both gaming and off topic.
I got banned this morning but good riddance. The forum has been so depressing since it came back and rightly so. All the best posters seem to have left. All the people staying are names I barely recognise.
I'm hoping to land wherever most of the Gaffers end up.
By Litan Go To PostThey should have snatched up whoever designed this place.
Yeah, this forum looks slick, both on mobile and in desktop mode. At first it was a bit odd that on desktop the avatars/right column take up a lot of space, but I got used to it very quickly.
By ClownsAreATen Go To Postcan someone with an account there tell the people running it to make the dark theme default kthxHaha this please, I always go dark theme on pretty much every website/app I use to the point I go out and use the Stylish estension to find dakr themes for sites that don't have them.

:lol what did i miss
By cantaim Go To PostShout out to the one dude on Gaf comparing Iwata to Malka. Like that is certainly an opinion you have.I was laughing. At this point even the posters that were originally ecstatic about the changes seem to be wanting to bail. Hell, I saw one of those types asking for an era invite.

It will be interesting to see where both neogaf and ResetEra will be in a couple of months.I wouldn't call it ugly but it is basic, then again, they only had a few days to get it up and running. Hopefully design and features are something that they've got people working on. Just off the bat there's a few things that I can see that need improving.
I like Slaent though, so I hope others will stick around as well.
By n8 dogg Go To Postanyone who leaves here is dead to me (but they will never know?
Haha, actually this site isn't bad. It's different and I kinda like it. I'm not going fishing for a resetera invite. I was never a big contributor to begin with. I will check these new sites out and join resetera when they finally open it up to public registration.
But I will support slaent. Never heard of it till recently.
