They actually put up a thread for that creepy manifesto and users are like "WONDERFULLY SAID" "AMEN!" "SO HEARTWARMING"

Resetera looks like it's going to serve it's purpose just fine and be exactly what the users want, so I'm not really sure it's a failure other than they'll have to figure out some scaling and load balancing concerns. If people end up eating themselves it's not like that wasn't already happening on gaf and that never came to a proper head. The only reason gaf imploded was because of the expose made on Evilore's sexual harassment. Obviously a place with hands on moderation is going to have it's own drama.

At this point I'm not sure I'm really seeing anything that I haven't seen before, people are back to their bubbles and the same old communication woes.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing too. Hopefully it will work out for the folks at the new forum. I've been visiting gaf for about 9 years now. Now I'll just visit a couple more forums that didn't exist until this week or I didn't know existed until this week. After all of this, I've got more choices.

The weirdest thing is that the victim who came forward has been pretty much erased. The new forum won't discuss it, and the old forum is now obsessed with the "response" rather than any thing else. Predictable I guess!

ashe wasn't really a "victim." Maybe that's why nobody gives a shit about her?

she wasn't really a "victim," more of a petty and vindictive cunt. Maybe that's why nobody gives a shit about her?

I think they're gonna make it over there.

I dont know about GAF tho..I mean, it could just trudge along hobbled for a few months slowly rebuilding. Or it could be truely dead.

EL cant be that fucked can he? He had to be making a couple grand a month right? He wouldnt have been stupid enough to blow through could he have? I mean, any smart person would have invested large chunks of the profits, he had almost no over head right?
Best option for him would be live off that and sell GAF asap. Perhaps grab a quick Mil or so right?

Could always rebrand, let it be edgy as fuck. Play into the crowd dominating Youtube right now. Not sure you can monetize that tho. I watch a few Alt channels for lulz who lost monetization recently.
Is their room for 2 progressive sights now?

I dunno...I think GAF will survive but I think its high traffic, big $$ making days are over..time to capitalize on a new direction or sell asap. But, I think the elf might be to muchof a narcissists and will ride GAF into the flames.

Really hope, for his sake, he put money away.

2k is not going to pay for a suite in downtown Austin. He's making at least 6k per month.

He bought a downtown condo and a house right outside the city in 2014 and did not put a ton of money down.

The whole 'no alts allowed' thing was really stupid, what with a couple people with them (Crushed/Aeana) later became mods after making alts.

General curiosity since seems to be public knowledge, which mod were you?

I was Red Scarlet there.

Since ResetEra let PopGAF have a thread, I wonder if they're going to let them shit up every thread in OT like they used to do ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

God, I hope so. Just because it triggered you and everyone else while I laughed at that and their talk.

Well, that's why you don't care about her. But, I presume that the creators of the new forum do care. Why else create a new forum? I doubt they'd claim not to care. I do take the point that she has said that she no longer wants to discuss it, though. Yet the new site doesnt even acknowledge that.

Was this intentional? Haven't read through the thread yet, but I wouldn't have been able to create an account here if it wasn't. I don't have a business or paid email currently, but I wanted to be apart of the site. I understand why due to potential threats and trolls that registration would be limited/restricted.

If free email registration was a mistake, it's okay to take away my account if necessary.

I confess I got in because of this. I didn't use a free email account and can verify my identity if it's needed.

I got in.. you can definitely remove me if it was too early/glitch. I was on GAF since 2004 with over 10,000 posts and was never banned once. Oh and as a note, my isp email didn't work for some weird reason.

I signed up through a verified discord earlier today but used a free email as someone had mentioned ssl was not set up yet and I was a little security weary. Just gonna leave this post in case there are pending reviews on members accepted, I can happily switch to paid email account if need be.

I could see GAF living on, just a lot smaller than it used to be. I don't resetera will reach GAF's former glory either, especially if the moderation becomes overbearing at some point.
