My 12 year-old gaf username has already been taken in the new forum :-(
In the announcements section there's a thread regarding username disputes so you might have an opportunity to claim it back based on how long you've used it here.
On the other hand 'stalker' is a fairly generic word so you may not get it back, but it's still worth a try.
Right, there's a bit of a break between me replying to things. So let me make my current position about GAF clear.
I have planted my flag in a couple of other places, including ResetERA, as I don't want ever again to have all my internet eggs in one basket as I did with GAF. I had become too reliant on one place and had no contingency in place for when it all went pear-shaped over the weekend.
I love the GAF community and I've had a great time here over the last decade or so. I am not going to crash and burn or get banned (at least not on purpose). And I'll continue to post wherever the threads are that I want to post in.
It all looks a bit of a shitshow at the moment, Evilore has made some really big mistakes, and really the signs for GAF continuing in anything like a sensible form don't look very promising. But I'll stick around and help out where I can so long as there's either (a) some hope of resuscitation or (b) interesting and sufficiently popular threads to post in.
I love you (can I say "guys"?) guys. I hope this all works out somehow.
It's always a pleasure to hear from you phisheep (despite being a Conservative
) and I'm somewhat in the same boat. I'm looking forward to moving over to ResetEra, yet I have no plans to burn my GAF account to the ground. I may post over there more in the future, but I'm still going to check in on GAF daily as well. I believe there's plenty of room for both sites to prosper in the future.
I also have to consider that ERA is very new and shiny right now, while GAF had just passed through its darkest time in history. Both sites will change in the future and I hope each of them will go in a positive direction.
