We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I just want to say that this is a super-polite forum.

I expect them to go away, but mine was animated originally and I like going back to it for a little while :)
Who knows if it'll stay like this, but so far it's amazing, every thread I've been in has been of fascinating discourses, barely any fanboying or name-calling, and generally a positive vibe even when talking about bad news. It's gotta mean something that I did like 300 posts in the last 2 months on GAF and here I'm already closing on on the 100.
Oh yeah? Well f-
-ine point you're making! : D
Agreed. Some of it is dat new forum smell, but I do feel like it's very sincere and conscious. We all lost our community for a fortunately (thank you ResetEra founders!) short time, and probably have been reminded what's really important (I know I was). : )
It occurs to me that Shinobi being an admin will probably go a long way to prolong this abnormal level of politeness.
What have you done? I was hoping since I hadn't seen anyone use an animated avatar yet that there'd be an unspoken rule of people not using them, but you just HAD to go and open the flood gates, didn't you?
Hey man, i'm just looking to get my shine on in here for the brief period animated avatars aren't yet disabled.
(I read that the staff are likely to disallow animated avatars soon)
I agree. I hope it stays this way.
What I notice is that there are a few posters that get really into posting. On its own that's not a big deal, but there comes to be a disparity between them and those that want to check in every once in a while. That's where I feel a lot of the hostility/annoyance comes in. I hope something is done to combat that this time around.

I came here expecting to have to throw down with an onslaught of trolls trying to sabotage the site. I've seen maybe two. Everyone has been pretty nice. Even if opinions have differed... Expecting trolls and getting people that are just wrong or that just feel differently about things has been a very pleasant surprise. I don't feel like I need to try and draw anyone out into the light or keep engaging someone until they make a mistake and draw a ban. It feels like we are in good hands, which is a nice feeling.
Everyone here right now feels more ownership of this site and feels more a part of a community than before. That won't and can't last forever but I can sure as shit cherish it as long as it does.
Edit: yes, even blame space.

Y'all are too nice to each other, man. Boring ass perfect nice pure forum. Sprinkle a little sin in this bitch. Somebody gotta be this snake and give y'all temptation goddamn.
JK but in all honesty I'm a bit tired of all the "Isn't this place perfect?" threads that have been posted the past week. It comes off as circle-jerky to me. Y'all will say GAF was a dreadful hive of scum and villainy but all in all it was super left leaning. It just reeks of...what's the word? Something like ret-conning history. People left GAF because EL sexually harassed women abused and his mod power. Not because the site was going down the shitter. And if you believe it was going down the shitter, how can you say the same thing won't happen here?

Industry Analyst,Matt Piscatell from NPD Group putting word out there about us..and it's true! This is a super nice forum, and I'm good with that.
I really hope it stays that way. I doubt it will being the internet and people being what they are, but it would be fantastic to be wrong. Anyway, you can only control yourself and how you respond to people - be classy, maybe others will be too.
A forum where the OT section is 85% threads about black people getting murdered, Trump policics/crazyness, mass shottings and other US problems is bound to drag the mood down. The test will start when these things start emerging again.
Absolutely. I've seen well thought out, informative posts get purposefully misconstrued just for the responder to have a 'gotcha' moment. People pointing out tiny flaws in long posts, completely ignoring the point the author was making. I really hate that, and plan to call it out when I see it in this forum.
I'm reserving judgement for the moment. Need to see how certain subjects pan out when there are threads on them in future before I decide whether to stick around or not.
Need to be sure about how much of an issue leftover Neogaf baggage is going to be going forward. That said, having guys like Shinobi in charge is encouraging at the very least.
