Jimbob Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) I'm on one Gaf Discord..........however it's one of the very quiet ones, so any chances i have of getting onto ResetERA until it opens to all are slim. I am lurking on Reset as an outsider, so i'll keep my ear to the floor. I saw it was open last night, but thought nothing of it (should have signed up when i saw it). Ah well, i'll keep an eye out.

Mr-Paul Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 One potentially big positive of this change - N-E is probably not banned as a news site on ResetEra! I've just seen their review thread of Odyssey is 18 pages, GAFs is three. Someone post the N-E one there if you're registered! I was a gaf member and occasionally posted but wasn't part of any particular "community" so never joined a Discord so am not over there yet. Hopefully won't be long until we can register.

Jimbob Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Only thing so far is that ResetERA is blocked on the works internet, however the Gaf isn't.

Ronnie Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Thanks guys, guess I'll wait till they open it up. That said, the immaturity on show from people leaving gaf is pretty breathtaking.
Jimbob Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Should only be a few days before general registration is open, that's according to a post i've seen about 5 minutes ago 1
Hero-of-Time Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 The sign up option is now there but you need to answer a question which doesn't actually appear. Maybe it's for those who are using the Discord route or something?
Nicktendo Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Judging by the speed things are moving and updating on ResetEra, I think it's safe to say GAF is probably dead.

At the moment, it's invite only via a code. Edit: I'm signed up to ERA, got myself a code Edited October 26, 2017 by Jimbob update 1

Sheikah Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 ResetEra eh?If this place dies then surely there'll just be another place catering to hardcore gamers. Feels like when they banned certain torrent sites...more just popped up to take their place. This guy. This fricking guy. 1

There's a post on their forums saying that the open registration will be starting in the next 24 hours. You'll still need a paid email address but you won't need a discord invite. 1

Happenstance Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I see EviLore posted one last time in the NeoGaf thread talking about this whole mess: Quote I endorse going and registering on Resetera. "Make gaming great again." Have fun! Bye! Now, moving on... Just amazes me how little self awareness he seems to have
Hero-of-Time Posted October 27, 2017 Author Posted October 27, 2017 Normal registration is now open. I think I've managed to sign up. I can now post on the forum so I assume I got accepted. Possibly helped that I was a member on Gaf. Part of the registration processing is to link your Gaf profile if you have one. They are probably screening for any trouble makers.

One person in the Discord I got my code from said they were screened, but couldn't get on the new site due to being banned on Gaf. They had nearly 2,000 applications this evening alone. 1
Mr-Paul Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Yep I've been accepted this evening. I only had 310 posts on neoGAF from 5 years or so of being a member, but I'm a good egg, so got in much quicker than it took to get a GAF account when I signed up for that! Impressed with how they've set it up so far. Very efficient and seems to have the feel of the community and the high level of activity that made gaf a compelling read, even though I never got involved too much. What will happen to gaf now will be quite intriguing, it still has a good level of activity for a forum, but it's dropped off so dramatically, and there's quite a toxic atmosphere despite those that are insisting they are staying and not moving saying how it's all the bad people/problems that have moved on, and it's just the people who want to talk about the games "without SJWs" who are left. Methinks they're a little in denial.
Jimbob Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Someone posted data for Gaf to Resetera. Boy, unless the owner of Gaf sells up (or unlocks the approval of new members) then alarm bells must be rung. Edited October 29, 2017 by Jimbob
