restera will be fine as a niche forum along the likes of that waypoint one. Its will be virtue signalling galore and not as fun as gaf was before imploding.

People are still calling for Evilore to step down but I'm still not sure if that's a good idea.

In a twist of irony, I'm reminded of Nintendo and the Iwata years. Not saying the situation is 1:1, but I'm reminded of the talk of Iwata stepping down or Nintendo as a whole going third party.

Despite how much he [Iwata] screwed up, any drastic change in how Nintendo always operates would prove disastrous. Especially in the game industry where you're replacing a man who isn't a corporate suit but a gamer whereas the replacement would be someone who only sees the money.

I think Evilore turning down the million dollar offer for the site reflects that. He wants to see the site thrive at all costs. Had he given up ownership, whoever would be in charge during a disaster would either kill the site or make the user experience even worse, like placing ads in every post or desperately seeking out sponsors.

I like that trusted leadership that has existed all these years. Even in spite of all the accusations and problems. If Evilore is gone, there is no guarantee whoever takes over understands the culture of the site and would prefer to monetize the hell out of it until it's a dried up cow.

Looks like Kagari is not a mod.

already better than GAF

Was Kagari even that bad? It seemed like she was just..there. I don't recall her doing anything controversial aside from that hilarious Titanic trip thing.

Resetera is looking good because all the good posters that actually enjoyed talking about games were banned from GAF by the crazy s jws mods. Evilore is fucked now because there's not much quality posters left after years of damage.

Got an invite to register to ResetEra. The site doesn't have HTTPS, no DKIM on any of the confirmation emails (so they went straight to spam). Suffice to say, I didn't use my primary email to join.

But I still think the leadership part is apt. Again, I watched over the weekend when those mirror sites went up and they failed to handle and properly moderate the wandering GAF community.

I was actually surprised after reading the Waypoint article that Evilore said the site would be up the same day that news was posted. He has the years experience running the forum to pull that off and now this website still garners discussion.

Is it to late to get a discord invite? Would anyone who has one mind sending me a pm?
invites have been shut down for a couple days now. If they reopen, I'll send you one (but it will probably be faster for you just to register for the board yourself -- it should be open to the public in a day or two).

I think the first real test for the site will be the justice league review thread  :bolo

But so far I like what I'm (barely thanks to the awful colors) seeing, I never visited the gaming side of gaf and loved the OT because it had not only up to date entertainment news and discussion but also news from all over the world, you could come in and watch the latest thor trailer and then read about the current political situation in somewherekistan in the same site  :aah

The only thing I think I will miss from gaf is that I could call a trump supporter a giant cunt and not get banned  :neogaf

So each verification code was tied to a pre-submitted list of members in each Discord, that list submitted by the Discord's "community rep". Each code only works for the people on the corresponding list submitted by said rep.

If that sounds needlessly convoluted, it is.
I imagine what I'm feeling right now is not unlike what will be felt by those left behind in the rapture.

The real victims here are those that remained in the Neo Reich and decided not to join all the Discords or don't have any friends.
I've seen people on the Neo Reich post that they don't like chats slowly realizing they've made a huge mistake sticking around.

Not sure if the regulars bring in the cash. I think he mostly made bank from lurkers when scoops were posted. With that gone it'll slowly fade away but it might be a while before all non-regular lurkers figure out what has happened since not even all Jugend Members have grabbed onto it yet.
