ResetEra planning a staggered launch tonight

It's so exciting in all the Discords.  Like it's Hunger Games or something.  There's like 100 different Gaf Discords all getting set.

Well why would you post on voat tho

Honestly my Voat profile is squeaky clean. Just posted on there because I was bitter over my ban and there’s no other way to speak about it (rightfully bitter, might I add).

I can see that. But the racism and toxicity is more blatant than a random 4chan imageboard, so you may have lurked a little more to realize it was shitty idea.

I’m not disagreeing with you. They definitely post controversial stuff. But I don’t represent the website, only myself. I never really said anything I’d go back on now.
Sure but why crawl headfirst thru a sewer when there are several ankle deep drainage ditches nearby

I thought TheBore was Something Awful for some reason, and I had been told to avoid Something Awful.

You were told that by idiots.  SA is the best forum by far.  And thebore is similar but that's a compliment.

Never been there, but my impression of it was never that bad.

Could be wrong but I heard they had similar problems to GAF.

Edit: well I might’ve read it on Voat so that probably explains it lol

SA is pretty good.

I called something distinguished mentally-challenged and also called someone a dick without getting probated. Unlike at gaf.

Want to thank EviLore and neogaf staff for the gift of destroying fighting game gaf.

We've decided to not head on to Atelier Resetera.

My fighting game teaching thread, dead. I was willing to go to Reset and when I'm confident enough with my fighting game skills to revive my thread and teach people personally how to play fighting games in a lesson like program for free.

But then many of us realized that we are considered "toxic", "problematic". We are too real and frankly absolutely none of us have a filter, as is fighting game player tradition, and we'll be kicked out of that site instantly just for being ourselves. Now our community is scattered into the wind and I got try to e-stalk old friends so they'll join our private discord.

To make matters worse our discord, which we have had for TWO YEARS was swamped by hundreds of users we barely know over the weekend, ruining our environment and community, forcing us to desert our own fucking server.

Thanks for nothing.

If you want that big forum feel, just go to SA. Don't trust a single thing Voat says. That said, you must put effort into SA posts. You can't post one word replies for example without getting put on probation. It also does have SJWs but not nearly as much as gaf. Buy an account and lurk. You'll fit right in.

since i've talked about all the other forums and you guys are mentioning babygoats accounts, after checking them along with the others this last week especially since they had some of those discord images...

spoiler (click to show/hide)
i decided babygoats isn't that bad outside of their unending anger at GAF which when it looked like GAF was dead they started to have an existential crisis about what to do with their lives, but some of their users just try too hard to say bigoted outrageous shit that it seems so forced and hard to take seriously especially to a community that's accepting of it, like they're performing for outsiders

also the whole set of users who seem to be serious about (((jews))) conspiracies probably make them look worse than the over the top anti-black racism :lol

Hi, I'm sorry but I'm not really very good at introductions.

I mostly tend to lurk and, even though I've been registered on GAF since '06 or so, I was following NeoGAF from practically the time it spun off. I guess that's why this is an even more awkward introduction for me to make because, since I arrived with the rest of the gafugees,  I've recognized so many damned names here from the days I actually enjoyed reading GAF. I suppose it feels that I know many of your personalities much better than I'm sure you know mine.

Up until around 2012 or so, I really enjoyed the banter on GAF. Even though there was a tilt in politics, it was off-set by a politically incorrect irreverence that just made the site fun to read. It's been a joy recapturing some of that here over the weekend.

Thanks for that.

Wait they are not allowing your community in ?

They are but it's pretty clear from the staff involved, the track record in their discord, and the new Reset users from our (old) discord that we are not wanted. That's fair. There's definitely some fighting game people signing up Reset, but a really large of us aren't on board.

We've decided to not head on to Atelier Resetera.

My fighting game teaching thread, dead. I was willing to go to Reset and when I'm confident enough with my fighting game skills to revive my thread and teach people personally how to play fighting games in a lesson like program for free.

But then many of us realized that we are considered "toxic", "problematic". We are too real and frankly absolutely none of us have a filter, as is fighting game player tradition, and we'll be kicked out of that site instantly just for being ourselves. Now our community is scattered into the wind and I got try to e-stalk old friends so they'll join our private discord.

To make matters worse our discord, which we have had for TWO YEARS was swamped by hundreds of users we barely know over the weekend, ruining our environment and community, forcing us to desert our own fucking server.

Thanks for nothing.

Wait they are not allowing your community in ?

They are but it's pretty clear from the staff involved, the track record in their discord, and the new Reset users from our (old) discord that we are not wanted. That's fair. There's definitely some fighting game people signing up Reset, but a really large of us aren't on board.

I imagine that, unless they are Garret  Hawke, the few of them in Resetera are going to have a bad time.

Fighting Game Community is generally chill from what I remember. Not overly serious.

Hi, I'm sorry but I'm not really very good at introductions.

I mostly tend to lurk and, even though I've been registered on GAF since '06 or so, I was following NeoGAF from practically the time it spun off. I guess that's why this is an even more awkward introduction for me to make because, since I arrived with the rest of the gafugees,  I've recognized so many damned names here from the days I actually enjoyed reading GAF. I suppose it feels that I know many of your personalities much better than I'm sure you know mine.

Up until around 2012 or so, I really enjoyed the banter on GAF. Even though there was a tilt in politics, it was off-set by a politically incorrect irreverence that just made the site fun to read. It's been a joy recapturing some of that here over the weekend.

Thanks for that.

lmao neogaf looks back to normal again, get fucked resistera, how could you screw up this badly  :heh

it's slow as fuck in comparison to before and in most of the community threads are people asking for discord invites. which isn't to say they'll all go on there necessarily  or not go back if RE isn't a flop.

Evo threads on gaf were always fun. Feel bad for you guys.

It's interesting that people who were so dependent on gaf's culture really didn't keep up with it much. Even I someone who walked away entirely for over a year could come back and see everything for what it was.

Gaf is truly the land of goobers.

Is this new, under the neogaf banner

NeoGAF is a nexus of hardcore gamers, enthusiast press, and video game industry developers and publishers. This is a neutral ground where facts and evidence, presented within the confines of civil, inclusive discourse, prevail through careful moderation.

Many of them are going to not get in just because the sign up is like the most obtuse burocratic process.

So who is the underdog in this fight?  I always root for the underdog.  Go Go Hamas!  Huddersfield Town! Dumb poor kid who needs glasses and smells like sour milk!

FGC would have 90% of the video game half of this site to themselves even if they only posted 1/3rd as much as they do now.

one of the few communities from GAF i wouldn't mind clogging up this board's arteries wholesale.

They're going with an offbrand forum backend. Damn Cerium is footing the bill with the LLC, domains, and this license.

Mods in the Reset Era discords are PMing people telling them how they're expected to act or they won't get approved, in fighting and bans, people trying to get entire communities disabled from joining RE makes me think it's going to be a really chill message board where people enjoy their time and definitely don't get banned over silly posts because 1 of 800 mods disagree with them momentarily.

What the fuck they expect when they made mods from shitposters that derailed threads in GAF because "right side of the history"
