invisionfree

Man, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I remember that starting up when people were using MySQL and the InvisionBoard software (which was free at the time) itself while renting server hosting software.

Apaprently it's ZIF now?

fuck knows man, I was into all that 13 years ago. Would say if it is, the community behind it is gone, invisionfree had its own successful forum with a large dedicated community.

Brehs, reading gaf right now with every community thread demanding discord links I'm gonna double down.

I bet you an avatar that gaf is dead, they have pissed off most of their potential userbase, and they'll go to either discord, here, Reset, Slaent, whatever else. Considering the fact that Reset currently is communicating with each community discord staff and they have each of these discords listed on their own server, Reset has prime opportunity to take a nice slice of Neogaf's pie. It won't ever be as big as neogaf, but every gaf discord I've been on besides the FGHQ discord says they're moving to Reset.

File me under #TeamReset if we're taking bets on who wins this. I don't think Gaf will have the userbase to sustain the threads it once did and a large part of its appeal is half, if not completely dead.

I'm not backing down on this bet. #teamreset is winning already

There's no need to bet. GAF was fucked as soon as it went down. Nobody was gonna stick around as soon as the mods left. Whoever posted about the old department store is right: GAF is like a 1970's K-mart still squeaking out life in the 2000's. You go in and you see those huge-ass fans that were all the rage in the 1970-1980's for department stores and remember why people don't go there. It's a time-relic. GAF is hitting that now due to hitting peak fuckery.

Is it weird that it was this woman's statement that caused this incident and not like, I dunno, every other fucked up thing that's happened on GAF?

Fuck that's weird, man.

Pent-up frustrations and not mainly because of the accusation I feel. It was like a volcano waiting to erupt. The mods leaving just opened the floodgates.

Everyone hates Tyler's guts. His stupid ass smug face, dictatorial behaviour, bragging, show-offs; the guy brought it upon himself. Never showed any humility.

It's so sad that I'm impressed by a new forum that has a working "Who Quoted Me" feature that tracks when people respond to your posts.   I guess Evilore really didn't bother to upgrade NeoGAF at all, did he?

I think it was Seda that said Stumpokapow did most of the heavy lifting and would do the same amount of work in a day as Evilore did in months.

Stump did all that stuff? I mean, I could believe it since I believe he was a programmer or something to that effect. But I thought that was the job of the "system administrators" like Timan, Gromph and Maharg (back when he was one).

True. That being said its not even been half a day yet. I'm sure they will adjust stuff like that along the way (including offering other color schemes since the default is hard on my eyes)

This is the only part I disagree with. Nobody aside from a few bootlickers frequented gaf because of the mods. Even the people who loved Bish's shenanigans pretty much all but disappeared once he got de-admined (as evidenced when he came back just to post in that one thread about his game  :lol )

Fuck that's weird, man.

It's because Weinstein got taken down and the #MeToo movement gave people confidence that they could speak. Power in numbers, no single person had to bare the skeptical dissidents. Plus increased awareness and activism towards those particular issues.

Gaf having just staked it's moral line in the sand couldn't pull a heel turn just because it landed on their shores. When seeing all that, It's not so weird. It was a perfect storm. It's just disappointing that it takes a perfect storm, while on any other day complacency reigns.

Call me cynical, but I think the complacency is going to come back if a Rolling StoneUV scandal occurs again.

I don't know brehs.

I find myself not caring that much about this resistera thing. Like, I don't care for what they represent, but as long as besada or bish isn't at the helm, I guess good for them. Let them do their thing, is my attitude. :'( :'( I doubt I'll be checking that site much.

And kicking around GAF's decaying corpse has lost its luster as well. Like, Amir0x, Evilore, Bish, Besada and Bobby Roberts all got their shit wrecked. It's more than anything I've ever wanted. But now that things wrapped themselves up in a neat little bow, I find myself wishing that the old GAF was still around and I could read Benji's spergy-yet-witty comments, or crack a joke or two about Dennis desperately wanting to be back on GAF.

All those moments will be lost in time.. like tears in the rain.. time to die.

Neogaf is really dead? Not surprised. Always seemed like it had to happen eventually. Still surprised by how incompetent evilore is, had an easy income and all almost as if he doesn't care.

Neat. People kept asking for the return of "Who Quoted Me" button on GAF but apparently that was some sort of inconceivable luxury.

And this forum has it Day 1.


It's because Evilore is running GAF on ancient software. Kinda like how Sony doesn't let you change PSN names lol.

Eh, you know if Risotto starts going the Slayven/Crossing Eden/Messofanego/Lime route, it'll be the new animal in the cage for the Boreans. So ultimately, it'll depend on how they devolve.

Besides, if they allow in Dennis, benji, and freenudemacusers, maybe we'll still get a show, who knows.  :doge

This is like the most bitch eating her crackers thing I've seen posted here.

Seriously dude, at least don't be such a sycophant about Resetera.

I'll call them out for their fuckery; but some of ya'll got a real hate boner going on.

Many of us have been burned out by this stuff, and not, is no the old man yelling. There is nothing wrong with you liking the community but you really tend to obfuscate a lot valid criticism and fucked up stuff that is being shared here.
Well the best way for me to learn that is by experiencing it; something which I haven't (yet).

Like I said, if they fuck up I'll be right there with you guys. I'm even keeled; I like this place too ya know.

Apparently yes.

When I saw resetera.com turning up as asterisks, I knew he didn't learn his lesson.

He will hold to the whatever power he thinks he have and die with it. The new mod that combined an old meme with bishoptl avatar and acting all friendly creeped the shit out of me.

And the new forum is turning up in a much better shape than I expected. Old returning posters like Aquamarine from sales-age are returning.

The vibe on resetera is surprisingly positive with a focus on the actual games and not injecting gender politics everywhere. Like GAF before the Woke were welcomed with open arms by the Peds and co.

I registered but I'm not getting the confirmation email, checked spam, changed email twice, nothing. Hopefully I get it before the witch hunts and boycotts restart.

Brehs, reading gaf right now with every community thread demanding discord links I'm gonna double down.

I bet you an avatar that gaf is dead, they have pissed off most of their potential userbase, and they'll go to either discord, here, Reset, Slaent, whatever else. Considering the fact that Reset currently is communicating with each community discord staff and they have each of these discords listed on their own server, Reset has prime opportunity to take a nice slice of Neogaf's pie. It won't ever be as big as neogaf, but every gaf discord I've been on besides the FGHQ discord says they're moving to Reset.

File me under #TeamReset if we're taking bets on who wins this. I don't think Gaf will have the userbase to sustain the threads it once did and a large part of its appeal is half, if not completely dead.

There's no need to bet. GAF was fucked as soon as it went down. Nobody was gonna stick around as soon as the mods left. Whoever posted about the old department store is right: GAF is like a 1970's K-mart still squeaking out life in the 2000's. You go in and you see those huge-ass fans that were all the rage in the 1970-1980's for department stores and remember why people don't go there. It's a time-relic. GAF is hitting that now due to hitting peak fuckery.

This is the only part I disagree with. Nobody aside from a few bootlickers frequented gaf because of the mods. Even the people who loved Bish's shenanigans pretty much all but disappeared once he got de-admined (as evidenced when he came back just to post in that one thread about his game  :lol )

You misunderstand what I mean. As soon as the mods walked out, the board rioted. Nobody was gonna stick around as soon as the "dictatorship" fell. They hated the dictator. There was no police force there to keep them in line. They were GONE.

I am sure EviLore is super pissed but I don't understand why he isn't being more talkative and positive with his forum.

Just from a straightforward business perspective he should be doing more to save NeoGAF.

Would it kill him to show some humility?

I mean, he did fuck up in letting core of forum crumble in recent years.

It probably would kill him.

OT back tomorrow..dont be depressing tho

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1454923

Quote
NeoGAF is scheduled to re-open its primary Off-Topic area tomorrow (10/26/2017).

The relaunched Off-Topic forum will be open to discussions about all your favorite movies, tv shows, music, hobbies, culture, and current events. We will mainly be locking discussions about "misery of the day" political threads or depressing news threads that exist for the sake of being depressed or angry. Other threads that veer negative or hostile will be considered on a case by case basis and handled appropriately. If you wish to stay informed on important political news or social isues that don't end up being covered by Off-Topic, we suggest visiting http://www.nytimes.com or http://www.washingtonpost.com to stay informed. NeoGAF is not intended to be your only source of information on the internet.

Do not read into this policy update and think that we will suddenly be allowing racism, sexism, anti-LGBT speech, or anything else of that nature. We will absolutely not tolerate that, just as before.

Thank you.

I think a lot of people just want to settle down and the admin probably asked the mod team to let people be after the shit show that it was the initial round of discord and community invites.

Probably as soon as they fix their Auto-complete "bug"/error. But it'll probably be Paid-emails only like GAF forever now.

Does outlook still count as a paid email?

Fair is fair, they had a much better launch night than I expected.

Several hours in, lots of activity, zero trolling, positive atmosphere.

Kudos.
Yeah, it certainly seems like it went a whole lot better than I expected.

Kab! glad to see you around, didn't remember you were around here. How are you?

NeoGAF is scheduled to re-open its primary Off-Topic area tomorrow (10/26/2017).

The relaunched Off-Topic forum will be open to discussions about all your favorite movies, tv shows, music, hobbies, culture, and current events. We will mainly be locking discussions about "misery of the day" political threads or depressing news threads that exist for the sake of being depressed or angry. Other threads that veer negative or hostile will be considered on a case by case basis and handled appropriately. If you wish to stay informed on important political news or social isues that don't end up being covered by Off-Topic, we suggest visiting http://www.nytimes.com or http://www.washingtonpost.com to stay informed. NeoGAF is not intended to be your only source of information on the internet.

Do not read into this policy update and think that we will suddenly be allowing racism, sexism, anti-LGBT speech, or anything else of that nature. We will absolutely not tolerate that, just as before.

Thank you.

lol dumbest shit ever.

So I guess there will be no daily show threads. Or SNL thread with political news, or any of the million things in our culture that crosses over into "political" or "social" topics. I'm going to love to see them enforce that.

Such horseshit. Porn forum sites have more vigorous discussion than new neo-gaf. And all to simply avoid bringing up the fact of what he did. The ego on that dude.

How the heck did you guys reg a lot of burner alts back in GAF? The only one I ever got was because a friend of mine had a paid domain that's expiring and he allowed me a free email to use before it went down.

It's more like a big sitcom's leading actor get's in a scandal and part of the production crew and writing team split off to create the next big new sitcom which needs to be advertised day 1. Bit more realistic put like that.

At this point I wanna see some type of "Behind the Music" type shit. His ego has been his ultimate downfall.

I hope for his sake he is in touch with lawyers to clear his name (if it is bullshit) and is actively trying to sell the site asap. He needs to admit defeat and bail the fuck out asap.

Neat. People kept asking for the return of "Who Quoted Me" button on GAF but apparently that was some sort of inconceivable luxury.

And this forum has it Day 1.

That feature existed at one point but apparently it resulted in a terrible performance hit. I honestly don't know why. It came and went before I was a mod.

Yes, NeoGAF briefly had "Who Quoted Me".  I think the problem is that it basically required a full search query of the entire forum database.  Everybody mashes that button instead of using Subscribed Threads, because all they care about is who's talking at them.....and the result is that the server is frequently shitting the bed.

I'm glad that ResetERA has Who Quoted Me, but let's see how they fare when they have a massive database with years' worth of posts and tens of thousands of people using it.

You can make mutiple user accounts with Comcast. You just add another user, like if your wife or kid...or alt to get back on GAF cause you got drunk and insulted Dax to many times.
I got "Myname@Comcast" mykidsname@comcast, my dog, my favorite band etc..

As someone asked earlier, what happened to all those former mods who were supposed to be a part of Reset? Are they under new names? Cause I don't recognize more than half the people on the staff list.

Not that I know but it makes a bit of sense if all the active posters left for the new place. Are they not people who all posted like 50 times a day.
