GAF implodes after owner Evilore is accused of sexual assault

It's only a matter of time until MrFox spawns an entire new forum at the rate he generates spinoff threads.

"Fox and Friends"?

 

I have resolved my anger issues and am no longer causing spinoffs. This is the new me. The 21st century fox.

 

hmmm...it looks like a forum that was built in a couple of days that for sure...

But they are still retaining the paid email thing?...

 

Is that because you're buying an Xbox One X?

 

Naaah I only buy beautiful things.

 

But it looks like a Sony PS2!

 

It's when you remove the clothes that you find beauty.
This is the ps2 naked...

Spoiler

Versus the xbox original naked...

Look what you've done, I was doing so well. You're making me write things that will be spun off!

 

I wonder where the rest of gaf will end up eventually? That place is now falling apart

 

welcome back!

 

It seems registration is open to anyone.
I just registered on the site without being vetted and without an invite.

 

Thanks

I've registered onto ResetEra, its a WIP but its going smoother than i thought for just being a few days old.

The structure is coming along nicely.

 

interesting. thanks for the link.

it's like gaf lol. almost identically the same layout

 

still needs a few refinements but i think every forum wishes they had such a running start

 

Resetera looks terrible aesthetically to me I dont have a lot of hope it'll catch on based on that.

I wish they'd just copied Neogaf's look. But I'm sure they wanted to distance themselves plus I wonder if they could be sued for copying too closely?

Evilore should just let Neogaf go. But I imagine he's 35-40 years old and doesn't have anything else going that's gonna make that kind of money for him...

It definitely feels like a weird, awkward air at Neogaf currently. Like nobody's heart is really in a return to "normalcy".

I'd just miss sales-gaf (ugh, I used a icky term). Not the constant "xbox sales are terrible!" trolls, but the facts and figures.

 

Purple is the opposite of gold/yolo.

Fakedit yellow

 

The Sony part about that statement is bs

 

resetera seems to be doing open registration in batches (closed at this time). It's a good move. Rather to do that than overload have performance or accessibility issues which give a bad impression.

Site is growing very quickly where as negoaf is a bit of mess. Evilore has banned the word "resetera" and is now quickly getting off-topic back online to see if he can stop the bleeding. He doesn't get it...

 

What qualifies nowadays as non-disposable email? Is it ironic that their contact email address for resetera is a gmail address?

 

There are stats on the front page for numbers of users, threads and posts, which is updated in realtime. No guessing is required.

Most days I visit GAF several times and my control settings are 50 threads per page and no threads older than 24 hours so when you hit a forum you can see how many pages (of 50 threads) there are. Currently there are 8 pages of threads and yesterday evening it was 17 pages, both of which are average for those times of day - in my experience. I have never seen 100 pages of threads, which is what it would show for 5,000 new threads. Even at E3 time when news is coming thick and fast, it's never surpassed 50 pages for me.

I imagine our reasons for visiting GAF and the way we participate is different. Current events, politics, TV shows and books are generally things I talk about with friends which is why I post very little in B3D's General Discussion forums. I go to GAF to talk exclusively about games because the gaming forums here are pretty quiet. From where I sit, nothing has changed since GAF's return. It's not better, it's not worse, it feels exactly the same. But I have a well cultivated ignore list and a number of browser extensions that make GAF more manageable which you really need given the huge number of users. People bringing non-gaming topics to gaming threads will ignored or muted.

I'm there t talk about games. Just games.
