Xbox Clubs |OT| No one gets left behind

More like an extended friends list and community page that can be focused on a certain topic like GearsGAF or FightGAF, or more general like CanadaGAF or NeoGAF. In each club there is a news feed where you can interact with other members where you can post and comment, post screenshots and videos or join/setup LFG sessions. Instead of having to run back to neogaf.com you can check your clubs to see if there is an open game or create a session and have people join up.

Oh okay thanks. Sounds cool!

Do they work on the PC app too?
 
Excellent job on the OT. Just wanted to make sure everyone is on board, for ForzaGAF "Zorbsie" is an admin and can also send invitations to the club. If you want to join ForzaGAF, please send either one of us (or both!) a PM with your gamertag so we know who's actually on GAF. There are tons of invitations pending because we're unsure whether or not the gamertag is actually associated with a Neogaf member.
 
Just a tip for owners of these clubs. If you add "Gaf" or "NeoGAF" anywhere in the club description it makes those two search terms direct to your club. ForzaGAF is now searchable with the search term "GAF".
 
Clubs and LFG were added to the Xbox app beta on Win 10 and Android.

Club limits:
You can be a member of 10 private/public clubs at a time.
 
I've got GearsGAF, and XboxGAF. XboxGAF might be redundant with the NeoGAF club however.
The problem is that you can only be a member of 10 private/public clubs. I think we should combine NeoGaf and XboxGAF.

That's one of the reasons why I created FightGAF instead of KIGAF. If people play more than one game in the same genre they'd have to join several clubs. The club limit would be reached very fast.

It makes sense to create HaloGAF or DestinyGAF instead of ShooterGAF because these are bigger games.
 
FYI, if you get an invite to a club. IT DOESNT come through as a message.

Go to the community tab, click Clubs on Xbox and any clubs you've been invited to show up there for you to accept.

Take that angry jerks who think I'm refusing to invite them :P
 
Thanks for accepting my join request for the Gaf club Ade or Banjo!

Wouldn't be a gaf club without you.

Btw, I wouldn't mind some decent custom.backgrounds for the clubs.

If anyone can do one, especially for the neogaf club, please send them my way.
 
Requested to join Halo, Gears, Forza and NeoGAF.

I wonder if Drivatars in Forza will pull from groups. That would be really nice.

Also is there any interest in a GAF Dark Souls group? I'd be happy to set one up.

I couldnt find a SoulsGAF so it seems pretty open to me
 
Will join HaloGAF and CasualGAF (if there ever is one).

CasualGAF sounds like a great idea, for people who just want more light universal gaming

I need gears gaf and gafclub

Ill have to wait til oct 6th to join as thats when my gears console comes in.

Dont leave me behind!

You won't be, I think if you use the Xbox beta app on iOS/Android you can use clubs right now
 
One of the best online features to come to consoles in a long time. Exciting stuff and can't wait to pick up a console next year.
 
Great idea Sony.

Sony has had similar custom community pages since the 3.0 update in February 2015.

The clubs system do seem a bit more feature-rich though.

Yeah, guys! Dont you remember when Sony took an already old idea and made it worse?

haha.




I still dont think I will use this, because I dont use PSN communities or Steam Groups, since GAF does this job for me. But I like the implementation Microsoft has here, it looks solid.

I should probably use it for KI and VF5FS though...
 
I've been getting people PMing me and sending me messages on Xbox Live about getting into OverwatchGAF - I have been sending everyone invites, but I'm not 100% certain they are truly going out. I think I screwed up by making it a "Hidden" club, as I was under the impression I could change it to not be "hidden" at a later time. So if you don't get an OverwatchGAF club invite within about 48 hours of sending me a message, please send me another message and I'll send another invite. If it continues to work poorly, I might delete the club and remake it not hidden.

Maybe this might help some people:

Still think we need a SeigeGaf, change my lfg life

Always happy to add it when it gets made, Titanfall and Rocket League and Casual are also some more that are open

Also if theres any guide on how to create custom backgrounds if somebody can post it i'll also add that to the OP

Edit: There appears to be a TitanfallGAF and GTAGAF up
 
Amended a few bits of info, added a FAQ and added some vacancies, see something wrong or want to add something. Just say :)

That almost certainly will resolve a lot of issues I've been hearing about. Hopefully they change it to a notification of some type when they roll the feature out to everyone.
 
A status update for ForzaGAF. With FH3 launching soon, there have been quite a few people requesting invites to join ForzaGAF without letting me know here on Gaf. I need to be able to verify that you are a member of Neogaf before I'll let you join the club! Please PM me or Zorbsie with your gamertag here on gaf if you want to join it! I'll look through the invite requests and send you an invitation when I see your gamertag, as well as a PM here on gaf letting you know I sent an invitation.

If you aren't in the preview program on Xbox but have a Windows 10 PC you can still request to join through the "Xbox (beta)" app on the Windows store.
