I noticed the red Mod edit in the stats comparison post inadvertently mentioned RetroEra. Was this also one of the few names the committee was deciding on?!?! I like it!!

Don't post NeoGAF vs. RetroEra statistics, please. Keep it classy.
So what's the officially posts difference in the 24 hours of Resetera being up compared to Gaf?
NeoGAF Total Posts at 8:14pm - 119,688,607
NeoGAF Total Posts at 8:24pm - 119,688,646 (difference = 39)
NeoGAF Total Posts at 8:34pm - 119,688,714 (difference = 107)
NeoGAF Total Posts at 8:54pm - 119,688,851 (difference = 244)
NeoGAF Total Posts at 9:14pm - 119,689,002 (difference = 395)
NeoGAF Total Posts at 10:14pm - 119,689,433 (difference = 826)

ResetEra Total Posts at 8:14pm - 22,655
ResetEra Total Posts at 8:24pm - 24,019 (difference = 1364)
ResetEra Total Posts at 8:34pm - 25,296 (difference = 2641)
ResetEra Total Posts at 8:54pm - 26,613 (difference = 3958)
ResetEra Total Posts at 10:14pm - 34,511 (difference = 11856)


This was from a few hours difference so its safe to assume ERA doing work.

Let's just say that the results and website name of one of those sites has been completely censored and been banning people for mentioning it's existence on the other site.

That says all that needs to be said, really.
Their policy has always been to not allow the advertisement of other forums. I do not think it's unique to the current situation.
Thank you.

At the time of these calculations:

GAF: 10,459
ERA: 92,594

I'm glad GAF is serving the people who just want to talk about video games well.
50% of NeoGAF's posts are probably discussing the state of the forum and complaining about the people requesting bans.

Yeah, it's crazy. Says a lot about the direction of that site, that and how the two biggest threads on the front page are about celebrating people leaving and sniping back and forth. SMH

Yeah, as a request member to member (not a mod, not backseat modding, just a request) can we please stop these comparisons? It ain't a competition, we're all just here because we didn't want to (or couldn't) be there any more, no less. Just let them do their thing, us do ours and help any users that want to migrate here.

The outpouring of support here has been phenomenal, and the community seems better than ever. I think this was the fresh start we all needed.

Just now, I experienced the most truly malevolent moment in our young forum's history

Thanks to all of the staff here, to the mods in the various discords, and of course to all of you for making this a great transition.

The forum itself is very slick and we all knew the community would be awesome.

The whole thing was really amazing, from the way each community worked to get its members organized to the way they all came together to plan the migration. It really says something about how much people cared. And a big thanks to the people who put these forums together.

I wonder just how many more people there are who want to sign up but haven't yet. When I was browsing the GAF OT Community threads yesterday there seemed to be a lot looking for invites to Discord and Era.

I thought I was a member of a website.

I found out I was a member of a community.

To the admins and mods who got this site prepared in next to no time. Thank you.

To the discord admins, who set up the bolt holes that we first ran for. Thank you.

To everyone who was part of multiple discords that helped pull everyone together and establish communication. Thank you.

To everyone like me, that reached out to people they knew through other means, and got them into one of the discords. Thank you.

I can't believe how this happened. People thought we were scattered to the four corners of the wide interwebs... instead we showed everyone what we can do when we work towards a single purpose. From those who did the most, to those who just came along for the ride, we *all* were part of making this happen... and to varying amounts, we should all be proud.
