Note the Ban Justice Project:

We've been building bridges.
I'm here to resolve the abuses of power, sabotage, and injustices that led to the formation of that place under egregiously unjust circumstances. Hundreds of bans mainly perpetrated by a handful of folks who ended up informing Reset's policies were slipped in through the cracks of our old platform's deficient logging, accompanying a despicable smear campaign with *no* basis and a DDoS attack to give the incompetent showrunners over there enough time to figure out how to run a forum.
13 months and change doesn't seem to be enough for them to figure out how to do what we're best in class at. On the contrary, they only know how to ban things that scare them and copy whatever announcement we make, only to botch it horribly.
If you're interested in real discussion, come on home. Be civil, mind the rules. If you did something stupid and account suicided during the angry mob last year, send an email to support@ explaining yourself (see ban justice protocols in linked thread above) and we will take all emails under consideration, I hold no grudges. I hold self-respect and dignity, however, so phrase your emails accordingly, please.
We did one of the biggest forum migrations in history, vb3 --> xf 1.5 ---> xf2, with a >100 million post database, in 3 hours. We have fully custom designs we've spend months of internal development and *significant* investment for the sake of the NeoGAF community. What do these jokers have to show for themselves other than community good will they manufactured with a bullshit scandal and a campaign to destroy this place with porn bombs as a means of "virtue signaling" (what would your mom think of that one?), and some off-the-shelf turnkey shit they bolted on haphazardly? They can barely get that shit to work.
We have near 20 years in experience at this.
I weathered this unconscionably horrible shitstorm of hate and baseless accusation for this place. Along with a few loyal hardasses who saw it exactly for what it was and helped keep this place afloat and back on the road forward, we're. STILL. STANDING. Retire, bitch? Not so much. I have responsibilities.
Are these responsible people? Just people?
Come on home.
Unless you posted a noose picture and encouraged my suicide, or porn bombed this place like a pathetic coward.. Then meet me somewhere with a signed waiver, consent form, and EMTs on call. I kid.
NeoGAF is not what the crazy bubble people and activist modders elsewhere would have you believe.
It's just a video game message board on the internet where we encourage talking things out like respectful, mature intellectuals. Along with some healthy trolling to lighten the mood -- generally not getting you banned, but we keep it real and include our own transparent public ban record so you know exactly why if you were. Not "disingenuous with a history of infractions."
Your call.
