Yeah "I ONLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT GAMES. GEE DOESNT GAME LOOK COOL" people are gonna be all thats left on GAF. Might as well pack it up. You're not going to get interesting discussion by people who probably annoy the gamestop clerk because they won't leave the store.

Y'all see this burn Rah gave Gaf? Y'all see this shit?

Good Christ, Rah. :obama

That was a good read you had going on there.

As much I give the shitters here shit, you should all want resetera to succeed and keep the gaffers quarantined and away from here.

"Worst" case is Reset fails and they're quarantined to this thread. Not really much difference. :yeshrug

I'm not sure why you guys want Reset to fail?

Like if they want a Nazi free gaming site let them?

nazi free is a really nice way of saying totalitarian

but I want it to work

absorb the nuts, who will suddenly not get any attention because the press will be too scared to link to anything associated with this

so all they'll have left is their winning personalities and reasoned discussion

rip

If you want to get technical if they want to be that way, that's like their right?

This is a private internet. Free Speech isn't protected here.

they can do whatever they want

I just can't understand their mental processes. They have the worst "are we the baddies?" moments.

Why the hell is Crossing Eden, one of the biggest moralizing busy bodies, still posting and not suiciding his account? If he continue to post on GAF after spending years being the most vocal and intense member railing against sexual assault, respecting women and minorities, boobies in video games,  and advocating of every little progressive talking point, then he's a two-faced ass.

Or maybe he got orders from Ubisoft to stick around.

Man Subpar Spatula is such a turd.


Quote from: subpar spatula
This is stupid. We call them bad ideas because we have already listened to them and know they're bad. We know gassing Jews is bad but we don't need to hear arguments for almost 80 years later. Same with Civil Rights. Same with treating women with respect.

But hey, enjoy yourself. You don't seem keen on doing anything but having discussions and instead of doing action... you know, the thing you do after having a discussion.
:neogaf

Like, I just, I just fucking can't. I would call him the greatest troll ever but I once had a discussion with that dude and saw him go on to fight for 12 hours and a dozen pages with people.

So is it going to be a continuation of gaf policies with the same mods or are they going to actually try and correct some of the faults?  I've heard three of the admin's names and think that's okay but i havent heard shit all else.

They seem to actually be trying to fix it's faults, to my knowledge even people banned will be allowed back; but it's invite only for the time being.

This continues to be, the most important thing of all. The first document produced by the company and its plans for #YearZero:
Quote
Friends and expats,
 
It is difficult to create a community.
 
You can build a website and write a mission statement, but these things are only structural. It takes interest, passion, and participation from users to turn an inanimate website into a living thing. It will take the effort of every member here to turn our burgeoning congregation into the true community we are looking for. No moderator or administrator can be responsible for that – this is a responsibility every user shares. It is rare so many people have the opportunity to start something new together. If we are going to be successful, we must believe in what we are doing.
 
Many of us have come from someplace else and have nowhere else to go. We must be humble and mindful of this fact. As we adapt and recreate the homes we’ve lost, we must be conscious and leave certain things behind. We must shape them in a more perfect vision. If we aim to create someplace respectable and dignified, we must individually uphold those values. While first and foremost this is a hobby forum, it also aims to be much more than that for hundreds of its members. This is our pocket world. It’s our place to go. We are all each other’s neighbors and must treat each other as such.
 
There is no place else on the internet like what we are trying to build. We must take it seriously.
 
As you post and get acclimated with our new forum, channel your energy into reconstruction. Do not fall victim to petty arguments, do not capitalize on every opportunity to be negative, and remember that everyone here is a refugee. Seek positive conversation. Remove your ironic veil and speak honestly. Post thoughtfully and thoroughly and remember everything you contribute is a building block. Do not let our menagerie collapse under the same heavy-handed negativity that defines other forums we find distasteful.
 
  • Conversation is invigorated by dissent. It is natural to disagree with your fellow posters and it is commendable to take a stand on something you believe in. If you argue, do so in good faith. Allow members to speak their mind and answer them sincerely. Do not declare your fellow member a lost cause before the conversation has had the chance to conclude.
  • Restrain your urge to hyperbolize. Exaggeration overstates your investment and encourages extreme responses from others who feel the need to mirror your position. Attempt to articulate why you care about things, or how things makes you feel, and leave room for others to respond at different levels of intensity.
  • Be inclusive in your language, beliefs, and expectations. For this forum to become a massive multinational destination, no human being can feel unwelcome in its environment. Respect their culture, respect their gender, and respect the identity of every member at all times. Nobody should ever feel defensive of their humanity. This kind of hostility cannot be tolerated here. This kind of standard is non-negotiable and should be upheld by every member.
  • Do not forget where you came from, but focus on our future. Everyone here comes from somewhere else and we mustn’t cling to our nostalgia. This is a new era free from the burden of history. Embrace your new home, believe in its livelihood, and relish in this occasion. Do not fall victim to the false comforts of the past. Remember why we are moving forward and do so with pride.
  • Lastly, be accommodating to the growing pains of the website. There are bound to be technical hurdles. There are bound to be trolls who slip through the grate. There will be some quiet days as members are approved and you may feel like important faces are missing. But you must have patience and support your new board through its afterbirth.

As the clock ticks towards our mutual restart, be confident in yourself and others. Remember what you want the forum to be and hold yourself to that ideal. Demand it of your peers by setting the example. Nobody would be here if they felt at home anywhere else. Remember, we really are the last of us.
 
With admiration, respect, and confidence,
A fellow Resetter

  • Lastly, be accommodating to the growing pains of the website. There are bound to be technical hurdles. There are bound to be trolls who slip through the grate. There will be some quiet days as members are approved and you may feel like important faces are missing. But you must have patience and support your new board through its afterbirth.

As the clock ticks towards our mutual restart, be confident in yourself and others. Remember what you want the forum to be and hold yourself to that ideal. Demand it of your peers by setting the example. Nobody would be here if they felt at home anywhere else. Remember, we really are the last of us.

The vibe I get is discussion is allowed, don't be an asshole; we can talk games and games only but politics might get involved when it is needed.

No Nazis. Seems pretty normal to me.

Rules of how to be instead of rules how not to be?

"no human can feel unwelcome in its environment"

This is such a naive and genocidal idea all at once. It's like a line from a sci-fi dystopia.

It's a fucking web forum for electronic toys.

These guys are making it sound like they're trying to create some kind of digital utopia/master race.

And people fucking wonder why people on Gaf are universally hated from the far-right to the far-left.

To be fair everyone is being levelheaded. We all know in poligaf the failings; people started mellowing out quite a bit. We're all just gonna see what happens.

So is this REEsetera shit up already or what?

In the process.

Seems like a decent set up insofar all of Cindi's complaints.
So is it going to be a continuation of gaf policies with the same mods or are they going to actually try and correct some of the faults?  I've heard three of the admin's names and think that's okay but i havent heard shit all else.
This continues to be, the most important thing of all. The first document produced by the company and its plans for #YearZero:
Quote
Friends and expats,
 
It is difficult to create a community.
 
You can build a website and write a mission statement, but these things are only structural. It takes interest, passion, and participation from users to turn an inanimate website into a living thing. It will take the effort of every member here to turn our burgeoning congregation into the true community we are looking for. No moderator or administrator can be responsible for that – this is a responsibility every user shares. It is rare so many people have the opportunity to start something new together. If we are going to be successful, we must believe in what we are doing.
 
Many of us have come from someplace else and have nowhere else to go. We must be humble and mindful of this fact. As we adapt and recreate the homes we’ve lost, we must be conscious and leave certain things behind. We must shape them in a more perfect vision. If we aim to create someplace respectable and dignified, we must individually uphold those values. While first and foremost this is a hobby forum, it also aims to be much more than that for hundreds of its members. This is our pocket world. It’s our place to go. We are all each other’s neighbors and must treat each other as such.
 
There is no place else on the internet like what we are trying to build. We must take it seriously.
 
As you post and get acclimated with our new forum, channel your energy into reconstruction. Do not fall victim to petty arguments, do not capitalize on every opportunity to be negative, and remember that everyone here is a refugee. Seek positive conversation. Remove your ironic veil and speak honestly. Post thoughtfully and thoroughly and remember everything you contribute is a building block. Do not let our menagerie collapse under the same heavy-handed negativity that defines other forums we find distasteful.
 
  • Conversation is invigorated by dissent. It is natural to disagree with your fellow posters and it is commendable to take a stand on something you believe in. If you argue, do so in good faith. Allow members to speak their mind and answer them sincerely. Do not declare your fellow member a lost cause before the conversation has had the chance to conclude.
  • Restrain your urge to hyperbolize. Exaggeration overstates your investment and encourages extreme responses from others who feel the need to mirror your position. Attempt to articulate why you care about things, or how things makes you feel, and leave room for others to respond at different levels of intensity.
  • Be inclusive in your language, beliefs, and expectations. For this forum to become a massive multinational destination, no human being can feel unwelcome in its environment. Respect their culture, respect their gender, and respect the identity of every member at all times. Nobody should ever feel defensive of their humanity. This kind of hostility cannot be tolerated here. This kind of standard is non-negotiable and should be upheld by every member.
  • Do not forget where you came from, but focus on our future. Everyone here comes from somewhere else and we mustn’t cling to our nostalgia. This is a new era free from the burden of history. Embrace your new home, believe in its livelihood, and relish in this occasion. Do not fall victim to the false comforts of the past. Remember why we are moving forward and do so with pride.
  • Lastly, be accommodating to the growing pains of the website. There are bound to be technical hurdles. There are bound to be trolls who slip through the grate. There will be some quiet days as members are approved and you may feel like important faces are missing. But you must have patience and support your new board through its afterbirth.

Do you wear a swastika and march in streets with a tiki torch shouting "Jews will not replace us".

You're a nazi.

Do you question the value of abandoning rural communities entirely to chase just certain demographics?

Someone with common sense and a different idea.

Good?

Guys, I worry for benjipwns.

When we first found him he was a clear Ben Shapiro subscriber known for dumpster diving info wars comment sections. He followed us home all the while going on long diatribes on NBA ticket pricing in 1982. Look at him now! Multiple Verrit authentication codes, an actual nemesis in Jack Remington, and a Pepperoni Pizza Goose connoisseur who managed to get Mandark to compare JayDubya favorably to someone.

Sure, he's currently cataloguing ShowerGate in what will truly be an award winning piece in shitposting. But what happens next? Will we hear wails that cry out "ALT-RIGHT NAZI GAMERGATOR" into the night of what once was his fragile but still somewhat aware mental state? Or will he become a Mushroom Soup Panther to be feared?

I must know.

I think benji is thebore's mvp
