Kotaku: Thousands Of NeoGAF Users Flock To New Website

[LordOfLore]

Link.

Last weekend's NeoGAF implosion was upsetting to anyone who enjoyed reading and posting on the influential gaming message board. Fortunately for them, a new option has already emerged.

On Wednesday night a group of former GAF moderators and users launched ResetEra, a clean new message board with sections for discussing video games and other topics ("EtcetEra"). As of Thursday morning they already have more than 7,100 users, according to one moderator. And the site is already full of threads that resemble NeoGAF before last week's implosion.

I knew he'd make an article and I expect many others to do the same.

 

[KZXcellent]

[gosublime]

[Einbroch]

I'm glad the point of how it was handled was brought up.

[Parenegade]

Did you quote the whole article? That's gonna be a no from me dawg...

Just quote a snippet. Hell does this article need any preview at all?

 

[Mikachu]

The part at the end is very reassuring

 

[Kyle Cross]

We in it, bois.

 

[digitalrelic]

We're famous!

 

[Lulu]

So beautiful, I could cry everytime

 

[gcncontroller]

every article i've seen about this goes in on how the situation was and still is (extremely poorly) handled. good. nothing about it was acceptable and it needs to be called out

 

[kennyamr]

Look mom, I'm on TV!

 

[Deleted member 2254]

We're back.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

[CarthOhNoes]

Press sneak fucks have revealed us to the world. 4chan comes. Ready the defences!

 

[Realeza]

[Dukie85]

Never looking back. No shame. #FreshStart

 

[Htown]

Does Schreier have an account here yet?

 

[ThatMeanScene]

It's a well written piece. Glad to have this place and super happy with how smooth the transition was. Everyone did a great job.

Beyond that, over 7,000 in one night with closed registrations is a crazy impressive number. Really curious to see where we'll be at 6 months or a year from now.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Hey, that's us! We're in the news! And for good things this time!

 

[Benji]

Hope to see Jason make the leap over with us soon

He's already registered, saw before they sent the first wave of codes out.

 

[Servbot24]

Hi Kotaku!

 

[kmax]

Oh yeah.

New place's awesome.

 

[Yukinari]

Waiting for the Junior responses on gaf to be even better cause of this article

 

[Relix]

Come in guys, we have cookies here.

In my experience in thread making, if a story is longer than 6 paragraphs people will visit the link and read the whole thing. If it's shorter than that they won't and will just drive by post.

Yeah, he moved here too.

 

[Witness]

Love it, so happy to be here.

He definitely went into "I need to cover this shit up" mode. That's always suspect as fuck.

 

[SecondNature]

Who owns Resetera if there is no single owner? It's quite insane that it setup shop overnight and killed GAF.

 

[Sexy Fish]

I'm pretty sure Jason has an account.

 

[Deleted member 3465]

Nice article. I'm actually shocked at how many valid users there are already. And there's still a lot more to come. This forum will definitely be just fine :)

 

[Yoshichan]

Does this mean I chose the "correct" site to dedicate my life in?

some1 plz respond

 

[jay]

There's a new website? Anyone got a link?

 

[rebelcrusader]

oh press sneak fuck

 

[wrowa]

Thanks for being here, Jason.

 

[Rackham]

I was one of the first 1700 users /brag

 

[Dernhelm]

It's been an incredibly successful launch, conversation has erupted both on gaming and ecectera, rather than it being a circle jerk I know a lot of outside elements were hoping it would be. Glad to be here!

 

[UtterlyPerplexed]

Hope to see Jason make the leap over with us soon

He's made it over here, don't worry.

 

[Klyka]

He didn't even mention that so far the registrations aren't even really open but just vetted posters are being led in. Once registrations open proper, the number will go up up up

 

[Keyouta]

Good short article on the site, however I don't think you need to be quoting the entire thing.

First rule of ResetEra: You never speak about it! Now we have to disappear again.
