Nice to see all the new (familiar?) faces. Welcome, everyone. o/

Just noticed the maintenance message got updated to: "NeoGAF will be back online shortly."

Well, to bring this a bit back on topic, I hope everyone can find communities that they can settle into, whether that's going back to GAF, this forum, or others. I'll give ResetERA a chance for sure. Not sure if it can become a replacement for GAF, but hopefully it can blossom into its own thing.

I'm curious about which forum people in the industry will go to, if any. Personally, I don't think I feel comfortable going back to gaf with Evilore still at the helm.

Oh wow. That article.

@Minamik Indeed!

I think my username is probably self explanatory to most people, but I chose it because I'm a huge Zelda fan and Wind Waker is one of my favourites of the series.

@jaggafredde I think sometimes on GAF, people couldn't always distinguish between people who were genuinely uninformed and those who were stealth trolling, so yeah I think sometimes the negativity and dogpiling was unproductive. It's not wise to just ignore harmful views, though, in my opinion. Better to have an intelligent discussion than to just ignore it. You don't have to throw around insults to make your point. Even if the person on the other end doesn't want to listen, others may learn from it.

Pretty sure it's going to take all of my attention and gaming time until I'm done with it.
