I was hesitant to jump over to RE when it all happened, it was a bit of a mess with all these ban bagging threads were still fairly active, but around the time this place launched even the threads I subscribed too, like the Cuphead thread which was being posted in every 10 minutes and was constantly filled with people people psyched about beating a boss or people asking for advice, it was an amazing thread. And now, like the Injustice 2 and many other OT's it's pretty much dead.
And yes, the alert feature is super good, I never knew when someone replied to me in the old place.
