A group of intrepid ex-NeoGAF posters have banded together to create a new forum named ResetEra, and already it’s recruited over 7,000 members – despite registration being invite only for the time being. The site – which has been founded by some of the forum’s most popular users – is promising a new beginning for enthusiasts, after allegations against NeoGAF’s owner Tyler ‘Evilore’ Malka left veterans and lurkers alike feeling displeased.
Since being taken offline over the weekend, NeoGAF has regained some semblance of normality, but it already feels fairly inactive compared to the newly launched ResetEra. It seems that the sexual misconduct accusations levelled at Malka will have a lasting impact, as NeoGAF’s most active members head out in search of a new home.

Terrible name.
I would call the new forum DiscombobulatedPotatoLlama, much better name. And you can only join if you bring cheese.
@SammyBarker did you ever personally use NeoGAF during your gaming life & how was your experiences ? Or any other PushSquare employee ?
@oatmealwarrior92 Never used but i heard that it kind of toxic community here and there.
If that site name needs a mascot I know the perfect one.
@LieutenantFatman Yeah but if you did then you had feta choose your cheese caerphilly.
@oatmealwarrior92 I wasn't massively active there, I was more of a lurker, but apparently I posted almost 3,000 times since 2009. I always found it to be a good forum personally, but it soured a lot this year, which I think factored into what happened last week.
I guess I should just be thankful I have enough to do in my life that I only have time to check this site and a few others a few times a day. I can't imagine spending my entire life on a forum like some of these people seem content on doing.
How does one register, or are common ppl forced to lurk?
@Mikethemosher It's not open for everyone yet; you need an invite via the GAF Discord or you just need to wait until registration is open to everyone.
@Kidfried No, I can't be arsed to go through the whole "invite" process. I'll just sign up when it's open for everyone to register.
I'm not saying he didn't do it but I don't like this guilty until proven innocent world we live in.
@Kidfried @Splat Yeah I feel the incident was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
@Kidfried To be fair I have never visited NeoGaf. I was more referring to how the internet loves a good witch hunt.
And it will become an even worse echo chamber than even GAF.
Will they also complain everything related to Sony just like Neogaf?
Thank goodness they went to go make their own forum, I was afraid they were going to go leak into other communities and make them as bad as Gaf. Phew.
@DudeItsKyle dude it's kyle!
@kyleforrester87 Dude... it's another Kyle. Totally!
@DudeItsKyle excellent!
@Splat No, you're absolutely right. The witch hunts are gross.
It's doomed to suffer the same fate, they haven't learned anything from GAF.
@PS_Nation I think you've gotten NeoGAF confused for another forum, it's Sony Shill Central.
NeoGAF had a judgmental, hivemindy community that resulted from corrupt moderation practices. ResetEra is just going to be another judgmental, hivemindy community.
