I don't want to apply with my gaf id, I want to use my *original* gaf id. So I will wait until they open for registration. I will be honest I have no patience for any forum that make me wait x months.
Unless Sunhi goes there, then I will follow him.

Yeah I nuked my GAF account and unsubbed from the single GAF-related discord I was in, so I'm just going to wait until general registration opens up or w/e.
As long as I can lurk in the meantime I'll be fine.

Neat. Glad to read it's coming along, worried about getting an invite anytime soon.
I know they probably won't leave people behind but the wait is hard. Looking for an invite, thanks.

By Finale Fireworker Go To PostZhugeEx Just confirmed there are over 2500 members in the main Resetera Discord and they are coordinating with 80 other Discord channels for launch.I can only imagine.
They're being really careful not to mess this up, it seems.
Godspeed to them.
By jelly Go To PostNeat. Glad to read it's coming along, worried about getting an invite anytime soon.That's my thinking as well. They're not going to leave people behind, it just might take a little bit to get there.

By Bold 2 in One Go To PostA Gaf 2.0 run by the same mods?It's not run by the mods from gaf
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostA Gaf 2.0 run by the same mods?No, new mods but some of the old mods gave their suggestions, I believe.
[edit]
One of the things that ResetEra won't be able to replicate, no matter how well they website is run, is the amount of members Gaf had. The days of refreshing a page when a new game or movie came out and seeing a shit ton of new posts is gone. Maybe in a few years they can get back to that but it won't be soon and it won't be easy.
Another gaf refugee here, I hope I get into resetera but the only gaf related discord I was in was the one to get Machado to Canada and I don't think that's enough. :( I guess I'll have to be patient.

That's wise. If things go smoothly this will be an impressive feat since you're looking at soft-launching with 5k+ people (at least) on a forum.
My GAF account was banned this morning, so I guess I'll wait for registration. This place is pretty nice though, so it'll do.
I hope someone recognizes me. I was a member since like 2007. I didn’t really post a whole heck of a lot. :/
I have plenty of proof of NeoGAF registration, but a new paid e-mail would be prohibitively difficult to get a hold of right now. Hopefully won't be locked out for that reason.

Don't worry about being banned on GAF. Tons of us are banned from there - it won't be used for verification. At least not in any mandatory form.
By Carl2282 Go To PostI hope someone recognizes me. I was a member since like 2007. I didn’t really post a whole heck of a lot. :/
Don't worry. If you recognize others, reach out to them. Even if they don't remember you specifically, it won't matter.

I still don't know for sure what's going on regarding that. It may not even be decided yet. But this concern has been brought up repeatedly and I know the dev team knows about it.
Will stay active on this board but also looking forward to trying ResetEra. It's a shame I didn't get into Discord before, never knew it would be so important for mysterious future matters like this :p
By Lmo2017 Go To PostI'm lazy and unimportant so I will just wait for open registration.Me and you both my duderino
By ned_ballad Go To PostYou had a GAF account, that's all that's needed for the time being. I recognize you from GAF, others certainly will.Heh, the irony is that I picked up the habit from another user on another forum.
And just to put this out there, since I know some people don't like my habit of post subjects, I fell in to the habit as sort of a shitpost check on myself. If I can't think of two things to say, one for the actual post and one for the post subject, I figure I'm just shitposting and hit cancel instead of submit. I also do it, perhaps counter-intuitively, as a way to keep my posts casual and informal, most of the time they're self-depreciating jokes or obscure references for the hipsters.
I am on DestinyGaf Discord so I sent a PM to one of the dudes doing invites. I am going in with an open mind but not sure about it all. Really enjoying Slaent so far, everyone here is great.
By lunchtoast Go To PostI wonder if ResetEra will lead to a powerstruggle/drama when ad revenue comes into the picture.Should probably go to whoever is paying for the site and then they can decide if admins get payed.
By Chocolate & Vanilla Go To PostI didn't even know what a Discord was until all this drama. I'm so old.
Its like iRC but cooler and with voice chat
By ned_ballad Go To PostI recognize you from GAF, others certainly will.If that's a condition to get into ResetEra, then i'm fucked, lol. After about 7 years on Gaf, i never once had the impression people noticed my posts or remembered me.
If ResetEra has a decent community and less of the arrogant, elitist stuff I used to see on NeoGAF often then I'll give it a shot along side SLAENT. Otherwise, I'll stay put.
By ozfunghi Go To PostIf that's a condition to get into ResetEra, then i'm fucked, lol. After about 7 years on Gaf, i never once had the impression people noticed my posts or remembered me.i totally remember you! ozfunghi who could forget that poster?
i don't know who you are. just wanted to feel good for a second.
By ozfunghi Go To PostIf that's a condition to get into ResetEra, then i'm fucked, lol. After about 7 years on Gaf, i never once had the impression people noticed my posts or remembered me.Your avatar looks...kinda familiar?
I dunno. I'm as faceless as they come, myself.
I mostly remembered people by their avatar, they had to be VERY active for me to remember them by their username.
By ozfunghi Go To PostIf that's a condition to get into ResetEra, then i'm fucked, lol. After about 7 years on Gaf, i never once had the impression people noticed my posts or remembered me.It's not a condition to get in.
Also I recognize your avatar

Same, I feel old and out of touch haha
By ozfunghi Go To PostIf that's a condition to get into ResetEra, then i'm fucked, lol. After about 7 years on Gaf, i never once had the impression people noticed my posts or remembered me.
I totally recognize your avatar and name. Of course I mainly frequented Nintendo threads.
By Diprosalic Go To Posti totally remember you! ozfunghi who could forget that poster?The second sentence gave it away, lol. I only posted in NinGaf topics and the Official Music Production thread for a while.
i don't know who you are. just wanted to feel good for a second.
EDIT: yay, success!
How will they verify who was a Gaf member and who was a troll account? Will there be EXTREME VETTING?
By Lmo2017 Go To PostI'm lazy and unimportant so I will just wait for open registration.That's basically where I'm at. Waiting until we see how the internet responds to the site before making myself a target..
By Chocolate & Vanilla Go To PostI didn't even know what a Discord was until all this drama. I'm so old.I still don't and not planning to find out. I'll wait for the site. I'm not that desperate.
I was relatively new, and had a slightly different Purdue Pete Avatar (the shape of the GAF one didn't work well with the circle avatars), hope some people can vouch for me!
Edit: Mostly stuck to Nintendo and sales threads

Me three.
By John Rabbit Go To PostTo help clear up some questions/confusion:Thank you for that. Also waiting patiently. Not with any GAF people in discord, not that I know of anyway.
1. The GAF Discord is now the ResetERA Discord. If you are in, that means your GAF membership was verified. If you are not, it is currently closed to invites.
2. You will NOT have to show any kind of screenshot of your GAF name, threads you made etc. They have specifically said this many times.
3. Invites will be going out via community Discord servers first
4. If you are concerned about having your username stolen, and it is, there will be a path to sort that out with the moderation team
5. From their announcements, it seems like it's going live today.

I agree. I'm sitting comfortable here right now.

But I always miss the drama. I want in on the drama.

Yup, things will never be the same. If anything, the regular neogaf site will act and operate close to "normal" in a few months, at least the gaming side of things.

Really enjoyed being a part of the GAF community, and really looking forward to being able to join ResetEra. Hopefully I'm remembered by someone. I didn't post a ton.
By no fun allowed Go To PostMe and you both my duderino
Same here haha, as long as I can lurk the site I’ll be alright for now.
PSA SteamGAF and their community rep DuskGolem are saying that in order to be verified you have to send DuskGolem a PM through NeoGAF. So those of us that have done our account suicide... We are fucked.
