I think for Lore the first order of business is surviving the current riot on his boards. I guess it will die down at one point in the coming days but GAF is bleeding hard. Maybe the brand is still strong enough to rebuild with new members and still generate traffic to be profitable.

Provided Malka don't have yet another skeleton in his closet popping out in the coming year.

Won't be hard to survive the few 100 posters still left on neogaf.

Yep.

http://www.resetera.com/

Wow, already 800 members.

Guess I might have been mistaken that it would have any level of success.

Anyone know how many members did WYL had at its peak?
There are 1200 people in the main resetera discord alone and it isn't open to invites yet. They're letting in vetted members of the various (~50) gaf communities first in order of size (smallest to biggest). It's going to have a large userbase by night's end if the servers can hold up.

I don't like the color scheme going on. Way too bright white and depressing like an insane asylum.  :doge

I don't care for the color scheme either although its easy enough to provide different coloring scheme options for their users.

Seems to be a lot of gaming-only activity happening on GAF already, I don't think he'll have a problem.

With all the drama there's the possibility of more registrations then people who left in this new, LeuppianERA.

Damn.

Not gonna lie, although I thought this was going to crash and burn, it'd be funny if it was actually successful and suctioned off gaf's viewerbase.

How do you lose to Donald Trump?

Trump gets 500k Neo-Confederates to rise out of the ether in Florida, and a bunch more in other states. Regular Rs hold their noses and vote Trump because they have no principles beyond party loyalty.

Trump was a strong candidate. We just didn't realize it until it was too late. He didn't beat a bunch of sitting governors and senators in the primary for no reason.

He won't win in 2020 though. Enough people have seen through his shit.
Like I said he will engineer a win. Even he doesn't want to Kelly/Mattis/Pence and his other cronies have given up too much to walk away now.

Can some one point me to the post that shows the Alt-Right/GG etc.. have taken over GAF?

All I'm seeing is man-babies asking for bans, talking about the new hug box and making lewd post..

Aside from that people with dissenting opinions actually speaking up for once (with out being vulgar, bigoted, rude etc..)

Are they just tossing around FUD to drive GAF into rhe ground and sell this false utopia?

Oh my sweet summer child...

Dissenting opinions mean your a member of GamerGate. Just ask Boogie or TotalBiscuit.

I'm not privy to it but apparently. For now. I'm sure it will be monetized in some form at one point.

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.

They only work for 10 minutes too.  (Actually a good idea)

As I said in the other threads, ResetEra team apparently estimated they had 10 to 15k people interested in a variety of former GAF discords. Even if overblown, it's hard to imagine the membership will not reach thousands soon.
So yeah, props to them I guess.

Shitposting ended with NeoGAF, now ResetERA is my best target.

It just opened like an hour ago.

The people are just staking their claims and recreating the existing communities on GAF. They haven't even opened it to regular people. I have a feeling they will do just fine in filling up the community.

3 months is pretty generous. I'd imagine once the community rollouts are done they're going to start devouring each other and accusing anyone who disagrees of being a 4chan Gamergate boogeyman who snuck into the registration.

Also the people in the discords only had a 10 minute window!  If you weren't there for those 10 minutes, you missed it.  They'll get a second chance later.

Most people in the discords probably did not get in yet.

I'm being generous because I'm assuming they'll try to attract suckers first before showing their true colors. But then again we're talking about people like Slayven, they're not that bright.
