| spurgeonryan said: I thought Neogaf closed years ago. We used to lose members to them all the time..until we didn't anymore. It was a huge thread here about it closing. Surprised to hear it is back. Never heard of the other one and even Neogaf had a terrible format back in the day, not enjoyable at all, just had more members. Edit: oh wow, it is actually up and running and active now, not like before, but definitely active. |
It never closed, just the population went down after everyone found out the owner was in a scandal.
ResetERA the spinoff site was made in 2018 right after majority of the site left.
| spurgeonryan said: Not sure, never heard of resetera or if I have, it never mattered to me enough to look up. I just know we had a huge influx of people at some point and everyone was saying Neogaf was dead many years ago. After we had a huge battle with them for years. Never looked back afterwards to see what had become of them. |
I'm not sure if Reddit's was much of a exodus , but I only go there to search up specific topics lol
But ya ResetERA has been around for 6 years now.
Originally NeoGAF was more centrist in terms of there being two groups cancelling each other during conversations and the mod team was neutral most of the time.
Then when the scandal occurred and ResetERA was made - all the left leaning people to ResetERA and all the right leaning people stayed on GAF (of course people from both sides kept going back and forth between the two at times).
Anyways, the original owner (and founder) of ResetERA sold the site to some large swedish social media forum group a couple of years ago for like a million or so dollars and he isnt part of the site anymore.
