A fresh start for everyone is the best way to maintain the positive vibe we have going on this community. I love it. The people leading this site have been making the best possible decisions regarding pretty much every policy. It feels awesome to be part of a community that is lead by mature and reasonable people.

I just put my old avatar on.

It's funny... started a New Game + on Evil Within 2, now everyone is aptly calling this site NG+. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Really liking the tone the mod team is setting for this forum. I was original skeptical but so far I've seen only good things. Keep it up!

Yep, everything seems beyond fair here so far. No sign of any mob rule, dog pile mentality at all and that is why it is already and will remain a far better site if we can maintain this sort of atmosphere.

Hi Yoshichan ! :)

Great message, Shinobi.



Wow, this is something I’d never expect to see. Welcome back Denis!
Thank you!

BRUH

I don't even know what to say, just glad you and other industry dudes are already joining us ha
It is great to be here - thank you for having me.

Nice - thanks.

This is the most poetic post for this thread that I could possibly imagine. I love it.

It is a really good start to boards and I am glad to be able to interact with the gamers here.

We're off to a fabulous new start here.
Agreed - really liking the new direction at Reset Era.

Thank you :)

This is a good opportunity to start clean for sure. But let's not fool our self this is the honeymoon right now. Important to set the bar early and keep it there. And that is ofc the most important job for the admins and mods. With that said, also important for the community to keep it clean too.As for discussions I hope people can discuss in an orderly manner. Opinions aren't wrong, but that doesn't mean others have to agree to it. Expect to be talked back too. Keep it civil and the toxicity will be kept to a minimum.

Welcome to all. Let's build this to something great.

A great start to the site and you guys are on the ball with everything at the moment.
Didn't even notice the member count that has increased considerably.

I want to echo the sentiment and repeat myself by saying the best thing we can all do to keep this new forum positive is not rehash history or engage in cross forum sniping. We should just let go of gaf and the past and not live in bitterness. The mods have already addressed this many times. We should all move forward.

Damn.

I was all happy and good and then 10 minutes ago I saw a name back that brought back alot of negative feelings. They themselves were thankful for the fresh start knowing how they were recieved before and I had to bite my tongue and remember the rule.

Great post Shinobi. I started fresh even with my tag (slasherjpc is gone) but the place feels lovely. Thanks to everyone that made this happen.

Hey friendos.

Thanks so much for making ResetEra a thriving community in a mere two days. With hundreds of threads in both gaming and off-topic, your passion for games and your pure enjoyment of discussion is clear for everyone to see. It’s honestly a privilege to build this all with you.

With that said, I wanted to take this chance to make something clear. Among completely new faces, a large number of us migrated here from elsewhere. Relationships built up, hostilities sometimes built up, reputations may or may not have been made with other members, developers, or otherwise. There’s history with many.

However, this is ResetEra.

We’re not bringing baggage with us. Everyone gets a fresh start and should be treated with respect, courtesy, and fairness. If someone is conducting themselves within the confines of the TOS, having hurt no one, do not treat them differently for perceived history from outside this forum. Engage each other as you normally would. We have a chance to form a community that’s comfortable for everybody.

Tl;dr - Just be nice to each other, yeah?

~Shin ❤
Amen, well said!

Oh, hello.

“1st Post” - woa I haven’t had one of those in over 12 years, considering I didn’t post anywhere else besides GAF. I’m like a new born. I wonder if I’ll make stuff up as I go apnng. Just kidding :).

For a guy like me, without my history or reputation, it’s an odd feeling - most of my posts are going to seem rather nonsensical for awhile, hahaha.
Whoa, nice to see you here! Your posts were always insightful over on GAF.

Long time lurker on the other site never had an account I decided to finally join the community while everyone was starting new.

I will reiterate what has been said countless times but this whole process has been amazing.

I don't know here to put this, but can we discuss how resetera is an awful name?
It's not an awful name. I didn't like it at first but it has grown on me. I don't like the ALL CAPS way of writing the second part of the name that many people seem to be doing though... Why is it ResetERA and not ResetEra (if you insist on distinguishing it as two parts)? I prefer Resetera with no middle capitalization though, and thankfully the logo agrees.

Names aren't that important. New names often sound odd and bad but after a while everyone gets used to them and they become a non-issue. NeoGAF and Wii were thought to be terrible names when they were first introduced, it didn't matter in the end.

First post!

In a vacuum, its an okay name, but with the context behind it, it totally works. I think it also subconsciously reminds folks to be a little kinder.
I feel like pointing out...

Gaming Age
Reset Era

It's not merely resetting NeoGAF, the reset skips all the way back, past NeoGAF entirely.

Hey guys happy to be here from GAF. I've had my disagreements with people before but I really do love this community and look forward to being a part of it.

I really love the vibe here so far and appreciate the mission statement of making the most respectful and worthwhile gaming community out there. I feel an obligation to put thought and effort into my posts here, and so I'll do just that.

Here's to many crazy announcements, letdowns, realized dreams, and memorable times in general related to this beautiful form of art.

Yeah, so far it's great, no doubt about that.

But the pessimist in me is waiting for the other shoe to drop as they say.

We have 25k members here. That's a lot of opinions. Especially with our political and social climate.

I just hope the foundation is strong. It is still very early days for this forum.
