Aye, but it's not just up to the mods. It's on all of us. Looking back on my post history on GAF I can see how often I was unnecessarily brash, hostile and sometimes just an ass. The sucker punch from 11/9 took a lot of that spirit out of me, and in the weeks following and as much of the forum tried to reassess What Happened, both in America and in our community, it became painfully clear how mean-spirited some of us had become.
The last week has demonstrated how important having a stable, vibrant community is for a lot of us. I intend to contribute to keeping RE that way via how I post and communicate here. Fresh start is fresh!

Your only good joke was "Masturbate, then decide."
You also look like you were animated in the 80's or something.
Here here.
Wow we got blame space, man it's like an all star group.
Reset these past few days:
Lmao!
Yeah, I really love the positive vibes all around here. Hoping it stays that way to an extent.
Wait until we start talking about video games!
I wonder what this forum when be like when talking about porn as well.

We've already got a thread inquiring about a possible sex OT. It's been chill.
Given a flame out on the other site...
I'd bet Blacked is a topic of that discussion...

Maybe us discussing porn is like that other pic with the fighting.
Lol i was waiting for it.
But i agree. A couple of negative posts but For the most part everything is pretty happy going here. Good shit.
We are in what's affectionately called the honeymoon period.
Where everything is new and horizons are broad.
That never lasts.
The thing that makes me giddy?
I already know I'm friends with a multitude of people here. So there's friendship as a foundation.
I agree. We will see where we are in a couple years. Hopefully everyone still plays nice then lol
You and your friends better watch out for me and my friends. We don't take kindly to your type around here.

I remember when about 6 major users at TeamXbox, including myself, tried to kill TeamXbox because we hated the moderator Dayofthunder XB and the owner Shockwave.
We migrated to Consoletalk, and posted there until we got tired of it. Then we came back to TeamXbox and they made us all mods, which lasted about 3 years, after which we all left and watched TeamXbox get bought out and disintegrate into chaos and eventually close..
None of those things is ever going to happen to this forum if it keeps a steady stream of content and discussions. I realize this is a somewhat indelicate thing to ask, but does Resetera have long-term financial backing?

I've been registered to GAF for a number of years, but I haven't been an active poster. I find Reset Era to be a pleasant community to browse and converse in.
Lol!
We crossed paths a few times over at TeamXbox.
I posted as thUnd3Rm0Nk3y or some such nonsense.
I certainly remember you from the other place Thunder Monkey. Then again, "Figs in my rectum!" kinda stood out. :p

Not to be cynical, but give it time, and I'm sure things will start to trickle down a bit into the informal unfortunately.
It's really more inevitable, and not that I'm saying I want it that way, but I don't have high hopes of it staying at the level it is right now at least.
One can hope that it could stay like this for some time, but at some point it may not work out.
In any case, I'm just going to take it all in right now for what it's worth. :D

The lack of carried over baggage is nice. Plus looking at the moderation team, I recognize a lot of great quality posters amongst the names.
I expect some burner accounts & shit-posters to find their way on to some threads but I can't imagine that'll ever be the norm.
Just want to give a big thank you to the staff for setting the tone from the outset.

Well, some negativity is bound to rear it's head. It's how the site deals with it will be entirely different. ToS is far more fleshed out and nails specific issues that have been considered detrimental and is now bannable offenses, or at least warranting a warning.

Good to see you too.
It was a pretty easy decision for me once I saw who all had migrated. Also, I have no interest in discussing what happened, but this forum's administration seems to care whether you are a member. I like being valued, not as more or less important than anyone else but thought of as just the same. I don't regret losing 60,000 posts because I hardly replied to anyone who is still there, and if I did, they'll be here too.
That other place was civil and friendly outside heated Political threads. The biggest issue was the mods over there were Gods and falling out of line meant death. No chance at debating. 1 and done. So far it seems the mods here are a lot better and more transparent.
This is such a good point and very inspiring, dude. Well said.
People were routinely nasty in relationship threads too. I think we could all stand to be a little more patient and understanding. Definitely liking the vibe for now. Hope it lasts.
