The state of NeoGAF

I'll not give a damn about it then

Also prioritising communities in very unfair on those of us who have been members for a decade but aren't a member of any community

Guess I'll just stick with GAF

The reason they're starting with communities is so the moderation staff can cope with the approval process in smaller chunks. Imagine they opened the registration to everyone at once, it would be crippling. Not to mention 4chan/gamergaters/alt-right are at the ready to infiltrate and DDoDs the site at any opportunity, so the approval process needs to be as stringent as ever in the opening days/weeks of the site.

I say this as someone who is also not part of any of the communities and won't be getting an invite until they get around to it. Stop thinking of only yourself.
 
Sorry that this happened to you, but this is hilarious.

During another ban I was able to lurk Neogaf at work but not that ban. It got my work computer too..it sucked cause it lasted so long. But hey, I still came back always daily after the ban lift..that says something about this place. I guess it is just a place I have gotten too used to.
 
I know you're joking but it's a very interesting point.

It's easy to hide behind anonymity on the internet, but many people have things they'd rather weren't made public, the difference is no one gives a shit about most of us (I mean because we're not well known)

When you're in the public eye more people pay attention, god forbid anything leaks out about someone over there, would certainly be interesting....

Infact I'd love to be a fly on the wall in certain posters homes, I'm sure not everyone taking the moral high ground is squeaky clean. I'm not insinuating they might have sexually harassed someone but it could be something that would make them look bad too....

Their real life conduct code must be pretty demanding there, extremely high standards! Phew!
Also, I imagine second chances must not be a thing there either.

That's what I call hardcore life players.

They should open it to X amount of people at a time rather than giving communities priority

But like I said, I think I'd rather be here anyway

Evilore is on his 4th chance though, not second.

So you want a unfocused mess instead of building the threads and content required first? Weird way to handle it.
 
Thankfully, if anyone from there is caught doing that, they will have to step down and go away. You know, instead of blaming half a forum and destroying a entire section so people can't talk about their behaviour.

Yeah fair point, people do make mistakes, it's how they deal with them and more importantly if they keep making them.
 
Does anyone know who should get in touch with regarding an Era sign up if I no longer have access to the email address I used for GAF?

If you think this is only the second chance then you need to do some looking around.
 
Never has a comic been more apt.

Like, even disregarding the whole allegation, people are leaving and arent coming back.

I'm quite aware of that and good luck to them but more members will join GAF and the cycle will continue whether you or anyone else wants to admit it.

GAF will be here in a year just as strong as it was a year ago, maybe stronger. It's going nowhere.

GAF doesn't have 195 000 members. According to one of the new mods, that number includes people that registered and weren't accepted. It also includes every member that has ever been banned from the inception of the forum.

So it has 100 000 members then. My point still stands. It's the biggest gaming forum online with a brand name.
 
Just FYI, you can currently sign up with any email account, but it may not stay that way when it's open to everyone.

This shouldn't make any difference, I signed up with my gmail account.
 
I'm hoping for a code to the other forum as well. I loved posting here, and I'll always be grateful for the time I spent here, and all the GREAT insight into the industry I was offered by this community. I'm not interested in making any accusations. I just spent a bit of time reflecting on the (very sudden, for someone who didn't pay attention to the longer-term drama) recent events, and I came to the conclusion that I simply don't feel super comfortable being active on here without having more clarity on the whole situation. There's so much noise and so many seemingly hateful people with ill-intent spreading bits and pieces of the information, it's hard to wrap my head around everything.

That said, I will pay attention to how things unfold, and may make the decision to be active in this community. I just want to let the dust settle for now, and think about it more. But for now, I need more time and, hopefully, new developments.

"I didn't make friends. Why am I not invited to any parties?"
Just wait.
 
I'm curious, when did ******** go up at today? I just took a quick look at it, and it's got a shit ton of threads already lol

It has a chance of becoming big I think if they play it right...

edit: looks like the forum name is banned lol
 
Again for the new page, there are no invites aside from what has already gone out thru discord. You will have to wait till it's open to all.

Ha, that's a good one. All the (using the word) toxic posters that made the OT a shit show are going there. I wouldn't"t touch it with a 10 foot pole.

I don't know if toxic is the correct word but there were certainly threads that seemed downright angry and hate filled. I get that some topics can become rather heated but the amount of dog-piling and ban baiting was atrocious. I hope that going forward, we can focus on discussing things like adults and refrain from mud slinging and name calling.

I tended to align/agree with the majority of GAFers but even the ones I didn't, I always respected their pov and was interested in what they had to say as long as they made a reasonable attempt at rational discourse. BANs are always going to be necessary but they should be the exception, not handed out like candy.
 
How did you apply for a code? I see the code field upon signup and I'm guessing it's limited right now to a specific code either per user or per discord.

Had to join one of gaf's community on discord. I was lucky I was joined on spatoon 2 discord, and got invites to the main discord. Don't think they are giving out invites currently.

I don't know if you got the memo, but I don't care. It's not my business, it makes zero difference in my life and in yours too.

Anyway, if you are going to ERA you'd better behave, or else...

Good luck, not making mistakes in life must be pretty hard. Or just hope they don't find out. ;)

It's been about 2 hours. Little more. Already 3k members and counting.

Nice, start a conversation and say you don't care about that conversation. I'm sure you'll contribute a lot here. It makes zero difference to me if you stay here with the tumbleweeds rolling past. Have fun.
 
Hey folks, I'm breaking my word saying that my last post was on SFV GAF to fill you lot in:

All the onboarding right now is being done via community Discords - the various community leaders verified folks were Gaffers and then fired out short-term codes so folks could sign up. Those codes rapidly expire. There's no "invite link" or anything.

General signups will be later on, maybe a few days from now, and it's basically the same system as getting membership and posting rights on GAF.

If you're a member who can swing access onto one of the various GAF Discords and has not already done so, then you should get on there and ask around.

For others, just wait a week or whatever and join normally. Given that it's just another gaming forum from this site's perspective it's hopefully not a big deal for me to post this.
 
Around an hour or so I think

An hour?! Damn It's had more action than NeoGAf has had in two days lol

I can't lie the site looks great in terms of thread content etc.
 
It’s ready boys! Tyler can eat a dick, along with the fucks that stay here .

So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
'Cause you can't come back around here
Good goodbye


Take it easy tiger, no need to insult people.

Is true...I once got a parking ticket.
