Maybe the real NeoGAF was the friends we made along the way...

[Dennis]

ResetTears hasn't burned to the ground yet, oh well. I guess the fact that Neogaf has now been succeeded meaning it is always going to remains a shadow of itself will sustain me.
Great week of delicious internet drama

ResetEra will have its share drama eventually, no doubt.

So far so good for ResetEra.

At 15,000 members and the board is much more civil and friendly than I can remember GAF ever being.

We will see if it last but so far....

And also the moderation has been extremely benign so far with only a few bans for obvious trolling and mostly just warnings to people.

Is cerium some trust fund baby? Shit getting monetized if not. Rip Mandark.

I imagine it has to be monetized at some point. An I imagine it could make money.

The lack of ads is awesome though.

Considering adblock, the low CPM on Adsense and such and I imagine the lack of contacts in the ad industry for gaming and such, they might be better off just doing it with Patreon or something like that for a while. I can see the active users donating a few bucks a month and that can add up, at least covering server costs and a bit extra.

If moderation stays benign as it is now I would be amendable to paying a small membership fee to ResetEra. GAF-level moderation would be another matter.

Is there a way around the stupid pay email thing? Or at least a reaaaaaly cheap email I could grab?

I signed up with a Gmail account.

It says it's banned by administrator.

Joe, it depends.

Does Trump's charity have A ratings from both major watchdogs? Does it distribute most of the AIDS medication in Africa? Do I personally know two people from my grad school who went to work there and are passionate about their mission? Is Trump a lifelong public servant instead of a lifelong con-man in this scenario?

I'm just asking if party affiliation plays a role in how you judge things. 

IMO, the most rational approach is not to declare guilt or innocence based suppositions and statements from political parties.  It looks bad enough from the outside that having an investigation is a good idea, just like the one for Trump.

Not necessarily party affiliation. Anything pushed by Fox News or Hannity is suspect though.

Basically a major problem in this country is that right-wing media lies about absolutely everything. There's probably no greater force for dishonesty in our country.

All major media (Fox, NBC, ABC, CNN, et. al.) is right wing propaganda. There is absolutely zero actual journalism coming from the networks many call "liberal."

Yeah the NYT is goobergate 

NYT is bourgeois liberal pap that services the white guilt of our educated class. I don't consider it truly left wing at all.

I can't believe they were approving accounts so fast. I even left the link to my GAF account blank and assumed I would have to wait a week or more.

Back to TheBore and SLAENT for the time being. Everyone in the pool!

Don't know what their hosting solution is but they better start setting those ad accounts up.

Hosting a party that the majority of the whole gaming part of the internet want to join in is inevitably going to make a number on them.

Hey, I promise I won't use Adblock for a while as I did on GAF

Only skimmed through it but the site's boring. There's no action. I'll give it some time before we have circular debates about random shit that will actually be entertaining to watch. 

....I'm just kidding, Tyler. 

No, I don't think they should get greedy and start slapping on ads. Will stink to high heaven.
A patreon type thing to get people to voluntarily part with their money while you hype up how the new thing won't have shitty virus ads.

They should temper their expectations of money, greed will tear the site apart if they aren't careful.

Whatever floats the boat. Got to be a good long term solution in place at some point.

Back up....that was handled relatively quickly.

Outrage culture still there. People that aren't playing any games telling other like-minded people how they "thought about getting the game, but are now voting with their wallet"
That's a step before the campaign to get everyone on the dev team fired.

I know lots of edgy (the hallmark of a Sony fan, btw) people on this forum like to shit on Nintendo and its fans but Nintendo fans shill from their hearts, meanwhile Sony fanboys literally copy and paste PS BLOG posts and no one here bats an eye.. Fucking corporate lackeys ffs

[Stoney Mason]

I signed up and got in the first day during the accidental open period. Just didn't mention it because it didn't seem important. I probably won't post much there or at all because I'm just in a different place now but its all good. The bore is now more my speed.

Like I said, I have nothing against those guys. They have done nothing wrong to me. GAF was bad because of the owner and specific things they did. The slate is clean imo on resetera.

[Himu]

I am curious exactly how the mods at Reset will uhhh, I'm not going to say stop necessarily, but let's say...dial down, the outrage culture element of gaf. This is important because the outrage culture fed into the culture shift where there was only one opinion worth any salt in any discussion. I'm not going to say no outrage should happen but with gaf it felt like it was constant outrage at the end of its life and I wonder how Reset staff will deal with that "constant" part which makes the forum come off really negatively and makes a large part of the userbase apprehensive and sometimes downright hostile to opposing viewpoints.

I certainly hope they recognize this could be a problem and have come up with ways to go around it.

[Aeptia]

Having minorities tell white people they suck will only make them angry, partly due to tribalism and partly because they know they're right.

 

[Novid]

rentacenter is pretty much somewhere where im gonna screw with these folks minds. It always was the goal.

[Jenkem]

Well, one improvement is that the front page isn't littered with circle jerking Nintendo OT topics.  I mean, even the Media Create thread degenerated into a Nintendo circle jerk topic.  It was literally the same posters every making exactly the same posts praising Nintendo.

and here's a prime example of the typical Sony fanboy logic, chastising a behavior from another company's fans while ignoring the same exact shit going on in their fanbase.

"NAUGHTY GAWDS!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111"
"oh this game has a mechanic that existed for a decade but it was in The Last of Us, so this game is a TLOU CLONE"

etc.
