so i was a lurker since 2004 and wanted to get an account on gaf,for games and shit but i thought u had to pay to get a membership.so wats ur reason for joining neogaf late?
paid email nonsense, like what?
for sure, i was agreeing with you though. i had none of that when i was like 14School, work, or ISP email is better way of phrasing I suppose.
whoa , a couple of years for authorization , what is this neogaf or the CIAI was a lurker since the early 2000's. Sent a request that never got approved. Sent another with another address which took I think a couple of years to get authorized.
Been a member since then.
Still the only forums I visit regularly.
wat does everyone mean by paid email account? i simply use gmail
so it was basically pay to get membershipYou needed a school, work, or ISP email address to sign up back in the day.
this...lurked for a long time but finally was accepted during the "reset" exodus. I went back and forth between the two but quickly found that people were a lot nicer on this forum compared to the other. Way to many self-righteous condescending jerks over there.I had no paid email account back in the day. So I lurked for years before joining.
pretty sure my account was in limbo for 4 years before it got approved. i was in college then switched to my work email to no avail. Then tried a completely new account with the same email and that one didnt work either.whoa , a couple of years for authorization , what is this neogaf or the CIA
it was the paid email thing... sure i had paid email from my isp, but i thought it was uppity garbage and honestly stupid. i think i eventually created an account because i wanted to ask a question... idk, might be interesting to go back and see what my first neogaf comment was.
damn son , 4 years is half a decade nearlypretty sure my account was in limbo for 4 years before it got approved. i was in college then switched to my work email to no avail. Then tried a completely new account with the same email and that one didnt work either.
then some time later found a twitter thread where someone mentioned how you have to reactivate your email because of a bug and a couple of months after that i got in. i couldnt believe it. 4 years is a long time. i remember dreaming about getting my account activated and then i would wake up and realize it was just a dream lol
nah not really most cable/internet companies give you free email they host but then you are not really anonymous anymore as anyone can track u down easy.(website splited from here still use that system)so it was basically pay to get membership
it wasnt paid. you could use your college email, or your ISP email. just something other than yahoo or gmail.This is the first time I hear of the paid email thing. I'm here since 2009.

Yeah, I get it.it wasnt paid. you could use your college email, or your ISP email. just something other than yahoo or gmail.
I joined back in 2006-2007 using my mom’s work email. That account was sent to oblivion because of the previous pricks and I resurrected back in 2014. I was young and afraid to interact with people here because back in the day GAF was VERY aggressive
My ISP was not accepted as a non free email, because my isp also happened to offer free emails.
I didn't know how to read or write yet, or poop without assistance.so wats ur reason for joining neogaf late?
Glad those days are over man. I really hated the people here at that timeGaf was split between current Gaf and Era people on the same forum.
Really crazy times.
