Nobody wanted things to end up this way. It takes a long time to migrate thousands of people and mitigate trolls. No method is perfect but in a matter of days/ weeks it will be sorted out and people will end up where they want to be.

I understand. Im fine now I managed to get in.

Some info for those not yet in if you are a member of a selected community (not sure which) there will be another secret code in 3 hours or so. This will be the final code. After that regular sign ups will be the way. There is no ETA on when regular sign ups will happen but when they do you will be able to apply and wait for manual approval. Once you are in you will start as a junior member. Good luck duders.
 
Does this qualify me for an invite? I thought that I could just wait until general registration, but it seems like it won't happen anytime soon :(

I think the confusion comes from that there a people like myself who were in the gbgaf discord and were removed with no explanation, others looking to join the gbgaf discord for the first time and finally a third group looking for invites for membership to the new website.

So right now everyone is talking past one another.
 
I think people are misunderstanding. There are no invites to ResetEra.

Right. When the Titanic got into the shower with the iceberg, people got on the nearest Discord lifeboat to avoid the sinking ship.

I got on the SteamGAF lifeboat. But there were around 100 total Discords floating around for people to climb aboard.

From there, people were handed out timed registration links to the site when it went up. To ease the load on the server, those were sent out in waves. You can still probably swim on over to a Discord server, but who knows when the next round of registrations is going on. Open registration should be soon enough, I'd imagine. That's really going to hammer the site though. Hopefully it can survive.

I got in through the Steam discord. It's on the first page of every SteamGAF thread. Just quote the first post to see it.

Cheers - hope to see you in the reset screenshot thread

edit: fuck man, so many good memories here. Fucking why

wouldn't be too worried, most people are in the new OT. Just a different web layout.

Edit: 28 pages in the giantbomb OT since yesterday.

Oh reaaaallly.

Not in the sense that we can just give them an invite, at least.

Also: I’m not speaking from any authority here, but as far as I know nobody’s being added to the GB Discord (which, to be clear, is not associated with any forum nor can get you verified for anything) currently due to the mods having to deal with the suddenly huge volume of new people (me included) as is. It may be a while before that changes. If that changes someone will probably post about it so if you’re stuck/staying here it’s probably better to just wait till then instead of posting asking. Someone already PMed me for the Discord link so I thought I should say that much.

bye again folks

Same. I really don't wanna wait ages when I've been a NeoGAF member for nearly a decade. =P

Based on the the stickied posts on the new forum the mods should be able to make you a member right away if you can proof that you were a member here. Obviously with the huge influx of people expected to sign up this will not be instant.

I'm sure they are dealing with all kinds of shit right now.

I have it on good authority that the Discord previously mentioned here was intended as a transitionary place to hang out in and does not organize invites to the new forum. People got there via other communities. Hope to see all nice folks in OT | Arrow Pointing Down once I can get in by public registration.

Also, listen to Hoo-doo. often.

If the Titanic was laying in a dry dock with all boat planks attached and people are screaming yet still stay on the boat , then yes !
 
lmao I'm still here. I still haven't gotten an invite. Please someone, anyone coould I please have an invite. I'm a kindred spirit that loves when Brad laughs.
 
How does it feel to be posting on a forum where our dear leader gerstMANN has publically denounced all those who continue to do such? Do you feel disenfranchised my eyes?

I know I’m not very active but I really liked reading GBGaf, even before when I was just lurking. Can I get a discord invite? Please and thank you

Open registration for the other site begins tonight. I'd recommend registering over there and hopefully you can get into the GB Discord once you're there.

You're a good poster. Hope you're able to migrate safely.

Not seeing any invite of any kind and I think I'm pretty active :/ Oh well
If you're referring to the new forum, that isn't how you get in. You had to be part of communities that got codes to register or have a hookup from one of those communities. Public registration will be soon (hopefully tomorrow)

Longtime lurker. Probably completely fucked. I only recently got activated here and I don't have access to my paid email anymore.

So I guess I have no way of moving over. This fucking sucks. Lurking years, get my account approved a few months ago and then this happens. Feels like a bunch of us will just be left behind.

On topic, my premium lapsed recently. Wasn't finding the content suited to me but today I check and Vinny & Co are doing what seems to be another FMV game. Anyone know if it's one off? I know its under GB Playdate but I know they sometimes continue. If they are might resub for the month until I get my shit together for the yearly one again.

Genuine question as wasn't answered before but who exactly has set up resetera and who are the staff?

Would like to enjoy the same communities I followed on here before people finally wised up.
 
If you go to the forum there is an announcement page with all the admins and staff

Does your ISP not provide an e-mail? I signed up here through a Comcast email which I've literally never used except once.

Cheers, not much info on what they did on here/who they are but I recognise a few of the names.

I'll give it a chance, although not sure I have a 'paid' email anymore which is a bit silly

Since invites are closed for some weeks I guess I'll join then.

That said.

Mario Odyssey is great fun but with all the hat stuff it's kinda Mario game in name only.

Yeah. The invite system with discord codes has ceased, so there is no reason to ask for invites anymore.
In the morning of the western hemisphere the 'regular' signup system goes live, so look out for that.

With that, i've probably used up most of the usefulness of my account on GAF, although I intend to keep it around.
See y'all on the other side! <3

That Assassins creed origins quick look was pretty poor on alex's part. Like all he wanted to do was missions. Part of the allure of Assassins creed is doing dumb shit and looking at the sites. Go fight a crocodile or climb a pyramid etc. everybody knows the mission structure of the games by this point.

He barely wanted to show off the gear stuff or map. Idk. I just think it could've been shown off better
 
Yep. Yahoo doesn't work. I've asked on gaf and again on discord and I haven't figured anything out. Feels like the old community just up and abandoned me :(

The free email signups were during the initial migration period during which they handed out temporary auth codes.

So we are shit outta luck then unless we get access to another paid email.

Like Berserking Guts said, feels like we’ve been abandoned. I mean I know I don’t have much right to moan and complain because I’m a junior member and I only lurked in the GB thread. But I’m sure there are other members here who have been left out in the cold.

Man GAF was one of the only things I could forward to these days and that’s been taken from me because this place will never be the same.

Depressing as fuck to be honest.
