I was mostly a lurker on GAF, with very few posts in offtopic over the years, with the username lm04. used to check it mainly for the news and the ocasional OT for games that interested me, but I simply cannot keep supporting that place after this. truly disgusting
Just popping in to say what's up and for any anyone keeping track of statistics. Username is the same as it was on GAF. Posted a handful times, a junior for a few months though I was lurker for a couple years before I even decided to make an account. Hung around for news in both Gaming and OT.
Getting accustomed to SLAENT. Like it so far. I see a lot of familiar faces/avatars so that's nice.
BTW, how are you guys pronouncing SLAENT?

I'm turning 41 in a week or two. Been playing videogames for as long as I can remember.
Actually, my first memories are playing Space Invaders on the arcade cabinet in the pub I grew up in at age 3.
Love Japanese, Hong Kong and Korean films.
When I'm not playing games or watching series/films, I spend most of my time restoring and releasing classic UK videogame magazines from the 80's 90's and early 2000's.
Been looking for a nice forum for a couple of years now actually, but never really found one that felt like a good home.
The good ones were either inactive for the most part, and the bad ones, well...
First impressions here are pretty great, so I'm hoping to stay for a couple of years/decades. ;)

Hi! I was mostly a lurker on GAF for a few years now (had an account approved recently), but I'm moving on to new forums. Nice to meet you all.
By Uber_Tag Go To PostHappy to see SimpsonsGAF actually get a shout out. Feel free to brave the NoHomers community if you're looking for more dedicated chatter of that show both new and old.Good to see you Uber! Has anyone made a No Quitters League thread here yet?
I'm UberTag, decade-long veteran of GAF, veteran of CanadianGamingDealsGAF, WrassleGAF, Fantasy Football GAF and the various diehard Vita-Switch handheld gaming discussion threads. Happy to see all of you here!
Hi all! I mainly lurked on GAF, but discovered SLAENT on Twitter when trying to find a new forum to browse.
I am loving the site design of SLAENT and the atmosphere seems a lot more relaxed than GAF.

Same name I had on GAF. Mainly posted in the sports threads on occasion so this place seems more suited to me anyway!
RumbleHumble on Gaf, RumbleHumble here. Mostly hung in the Giant Bomb/Poli-Gaf communities. Mostly lurking but some posts every now and then.
I was a lurker on Gaf for years, because my account was never approved. So I'm happy to be here and be able to actually take part in the community.
By enzom21 Go To PostSame username as GAF. Blame Slay for my being here.
EDIT: lol. oops.
you're not enzogt.
Was -Eddman- on GAF but I always wanted the name without the hyphens. Was part of mexican GAF, even though we were not a big or organized group (mexicans living in Mexico). I mostly posted in rock music threads and ranted about the horrible pricing of games in my country, lol
By Pastry Go To PostThe same Zekes that is from San Antonio or am I thinking of someone else? Maybe that was just Zeke?I'm the one from SA changed my name for slaent.
Welcome everyone.
You might find some of them here.

Hi! I've been lurking GAF since 2009, and I'm excited that I can finally connect with some of it's community after all these years.
Same name and avatar as Gaf. I stuck around SteamGaf for a while, then went to AnimeGaf, then to mobile games.. Also visited FgcGaf especially around Evo and LoLGaf during regionals. Came for gaming and briefly visited OT now and then. 8 years there, man time flies. Met some good people there, but sad to see it go.
Was username "Respect" on GAF, never cared for the name, but not usually all that original with usernames. Same avatar though. Mostly on the OT side toward the end, would sometimes post in NFL, GoT (no book spoiler), MST3K and DBS threads. Would venture to gaming side if there was something coming out or would hear about big news dropping to get the details. Browsing the OT became habit throughout the morning and afternoon to break up my work day, it really became my source of news stories for the day.
By Face it Tiger... Go To PostEnzoGT? welcome back
Indecivise lurker on GAF. Decided to jump in too late. Happy to see the community has been able to find places.
TI92! My gaf username was TI82 which was actually a typo meant to put TI92 always.
I like Nintendo games, especially the GBA, N64 and Gamecube. Hated the Wii U but love the switch!

I was an on and off lurker of Gaf among other sites. I was surprised when it was shut down and discovered this site through a link on Twitter. Pretty nice place you got here. Seems chiller than Gaf.
Another gaf transplant here tho I spent over ten years being mostly a lurker (only about 300 post over a decade)
Found the place over Twitter and liking it. Nice and chill.

I made my account here this weekend after all the commotion but didn't post till I saw the ResetEra thread. Very rarely posted on GAF (same username), when I did it would be in niche gaming threads when I had a question about something. In all this seems like a great site with a good community, and even if I don't stick here for gaming I think I might for some of the other entertainment stuff. Probably will go back to my old lurking habits, just wanted to be polite and say hi!
I was Clockwork5 on GAF. Just a lowly Chiefs fan in NFLgaf, bitched about lootboxes on the gaming side and proclaimed my hype on the first page of rad OTs.

By Stormm Go To PostI remember you had the Andy Reid avatar at one point.Yep. That's me.
My GAF legacy has survived! unfortunately
I had the same username on GAF. Joined in 2011, starting posting sporadically in 2012 after my account was approved. I was pretty involved in AvatarGAF (TLA/TLOK) from 2012-15, and in my first year or two was peripherally involved in AnimeGAF and ToonamiGAF. Also liked following the box office discussions; those were actually the reason I originally joined. I don't think I posted in any of the mental health threads but I definitely received (and, I hope, was able to reciprocate at times) support from the forum. It's kinda sad to see what's happened over the past four days but it was definitely time to move on. Very glad to have been linked to here.
Same name as on GAF. I thought I might get rid of it (since it's an old username from when I was a 13 year old weaboo) and switch to the moniker I use for my cosplay and other social media (Awesome Possum). But there was a guy on gaf that used that name and I figured he might still want it.
Joined in 2010. Didn't really post much in any communities. Just the early years of Girl-gaf and Real-pic. Mostly lurked.

I always wanted a tag but never said anything embarrassing or clever enough. Dreams really do come true.

That's more like it. :3
Hello, my name is Suichimo, I've also been known as SuichimotheDragoon if you were ever on older sites like NSider.
I was a long time lurker on GAF, was never able to actually join because I didn't have a paid e-mail. I heavily lurked the gaming side of GAF and I would occasionally step over to OT for things like MangaGAF. Any particulars, feel free to ask.

Hi everyone!
I was Sgt. Kabukiman on GAF but I always regretted that name, lol. But I'm keeping the avatar during the transition. I used to post mostly in the movie and comic-book threads and would venture in gaming once in a while. Very happy to see familiar names and avatars around here. I look forward to resetera but this seems like a really cool place.

I just showed up to the party too haha! I'm furiousdarkelf I am a longtime GAF watcher but never able to post there, I'm a chef from Oregon, and Im about to play Fallout: New Vegas!
Okay Round2 I got bored w/F:NV! I'm playing 7 Days clean on an old PS4 and I'm trying to find the desert in navezgane. Also I can hackeysack with the best but I've only been snowboarding once and surfing once.
By Professor Crate Go To PostBTW, how are you guys pronouncing SLAENT?I'm going with slay-ent.
I am Turok_TTZ on Neogaf for the newcomers/refugees who may not know me. I've been here on Slaent years earlier though when Evilore decided to nuke Footygaf for a spell. Relax and know Slaent is a fine community.
Like many others, I lurked GAF. I planned on trying to make an account soon...but obviously that's out of the question now. I've been lurking here for the last few days and this place seems pretty cool. Depending on how ResetEra goes, I may try to get in over there too...but it seems like that won't be for a while.
I'm an indie/hobby dev (game isn't released yet so it could still count as a hobby), 3D artist, and composer. Besides that, I'm really into ballet, music, musicals, and all things cute. My favorite video game genres are JRPG, Platformer, Puzzle, Adventure/Visual Novel, Rhythm and Sim/Management.
I've never made an OT so somebody should make a FFX OT!
Oh yeah, and I like pineapples on pizza! :)

User name here was my user name there. I wasn't really big in the off top communities I was more a lurker. I posted in the gaming side and Off topic threads.
Same username as GAF, followed FitGAF people over here. Stuck to that thread, the My Hero Academia, and One Piece threads.
I had the same name and avatar on GAF. Joined in 2011, but I mostly just lurked. I stuck almost entirely to the OT side of the site, mainly in the sports communities (NFL and NBA) and the What Are You Reading threads.
I really like the design of this site. I'm interested in Reset also, but I could see myself sticking around Slaent for sure.
