ResetEra Rises From The Ashes of NeoGAF
A new gaming forum has gone live after sexual harassment allegations sent shockwaves through another. You'll need a secret code to be a part of this first wave, though.
In our report on NeoGAF's fall, rise, and fall again, we shared that former GAF moderators were working on a new gaming forum. You can already sign up for the best gaming community around, but the new ResetEra has officially gone live. New sign-ups require a secret code for now, though.
The ResetEra website is up and running with over 100 threads already within the Video Games discussions and another 100 in the EtcetEra discussion for sports, education, politics, civil discourse, and more. At the time of this writing, it has 3,780 members and is closing in on 10k messages.
There's an option to sign up for the forum, but you'll need a secret code for access currently. It was previously stated that the rollout for accounts would work in waves and the first wave is likely earmarked for long-standing members of various former communities, including NeoGAF. As far as the threads go, conversations seem to pick right up where NeoGAF left off. There's an Xbox One X pre-launch thread, one with Super Mario Odyssey spoilers, and much more.
Reminder: Chatty is here for you and always has been.

Good points, but part of that could be the forced echo chamber effect. Shacknews lets anyone sign up and join (we know, sometimes they try to sell us jeans and shit in their first post). NeoGAF had an opaque approval process and if you weren’t good enough you didn’t get in. It’s possible this resulted in a whole bunch of people who believed the same things and that were wildly incongruent with the rest of the world.
But to the extent that I’ve followed it, the real issue here is that the leader/owner of the site was a shithead whose statement just tossed gas on the fire. -
Which types of people do you think believed GAF was a cesspool under the old moderation?

Seems to be exactly what is happening lol. All the non shitheads are already on ResetERA, GAF will slowly wither away I think.

They're doing rolling invites while the site gets off the ground (to minimize brigading etc). If you don't want to wait for open registration your best bet is to get a code from one of the approved Discord channels. That's about all I know, I was lucky and was able to sign up yesterday.
