Does anyone know if using a custom domain will be accepted as a paid email service? I'm looking at buying an email address and domain via Zoho: https://iwantmyname.com/services/email-hosting/zoho-custom-domain
I don't have access to an ISP email or anything similar at the moment.

And the word 'when' implies that it is inevitable that a right winger will say the N word or mistreat people of different genders.
That's bull. I'm not a conservative, but not every right winger goes around acting like that, most don't actually. But some people on Gaf act like if you are even slightly right on the political spectrum then you are trash. Some conservatives are great people. Some liberals are great people. Some conservatives, and some liberals, are actual trash. The world isn't black and white. Shitting on actual Nazis and white supremacists is great, but let's not act like every slightly conservative person is walking around demanding we reinstate slavery or advocates for the genocide of non-white races.
I just updated my email address here to a custom domain address. I'm guessing the other site will work the same. I think they just operate off of a blacklist of free email services for the most part.
Oh shit, thanks for the reminder lol

I expect it'll get past the automatic filter during signup, but I'm concerned that there'll be manual checks when the accounts are approved. I'm worried the domain won't be accepted if it isn't associated with an organisation.

Unsure, they might send a security code through to the registered email.
I don't think it will be a problem. If they have a support address over there you can probably email them and ask.

Yeah, funnily enough I actually emailed them regarding a similar topic just minutes after the site went live. I haven't received a reply yet, although I expect they're extremely busy right now.
LOL this is an internet forum about video games. a n i n t e r n e t f o r u m. Being a moderator should be something you do as a hobby, not a job. Don't paint this website as avant-garde.

For?
This will probably be my last post here. The codes are done. Normal registration, that functions similar to GAFs, is supposed to go live tonight.
Everyone. Has the same email requirements as here

Yep, open registration under same rules to GAF starts tonight.
Paid emails and junior status.

Doesn't need to be paid. Many free get around the filter.
It was only free for those in the discord/made it through the 10 min window they had last night

Didnt even know it was that short of a window either. I just loaded up Discord to talk about Brave Exvius and someone told us it was live.
Guess I popped in at just the right time. Got in with my Gmail which surprised me.

Half of this thread is now just people waiting to be able to move to the new place.
I can tell you it didnt work for me first time I tried signing up for gaf. But who knows what their specific rules are.
Yep. I was sad to realize it might be dead but now that I see the new site I realize how much gaf has changed for the worse.
Yeah, I mean, we talked through pretty much everything relevant in 150+ pages (excluding other threads). Will be interesting to see how everything looks when the transitional phase is over.

These short code bursts were for verified users, so it waved the ISP/Uni/Work/Paid Email rule which will be in place for the regular registration that will be soon live.

Can you blame them?
It took 30 mins for a Odyssey review thread to appear. There was a fake one, but that doesn't count. It's unheard of for average game to have a review thread like a minute late once the embargo lifts let alone a Mario game.

The only thing I do is suck in my gut. But that doesn't apply on a message board.

Threads from one hour ago on the first page.
GAF is a ghost town now. It's gonna take some effort to even change that.

I feel like it will go back to normal. Just give it a few more days.
Could be wrong, but I think it will recover.
There are some unofficial dark themes that people have made until the official one is done. Beyond that there is just the default.

I don't know. Seeing quite a lot of posts saying they going to jump ship as soon as the other place opens registrations. So could actually get worse in a weeks time.
Hahaha, luckily I don't have that problem (unless I'm misunderstanding you right now).

A lot of people on GAF right now
All of this was known prior to the current drama, and is worse than any recent revelations. Which makes the "OMG RUN AWAY TO MORAL HIGH GROUND!" taking place now pretty damn laughable. Herd mentality for those who want to peddle in virtue signaling.
They're working on a dark theme. There's a feature request thread which no doubt this was mentioned 100 times.

Gaf can still bounce back at least a bit. But it does look kind if dire. The assholes seem to be mostly done posting gore and porn garbage so that could help.
Haha it's a minor gut, but ain't living up to 10 years ago.

No, I'm leaving because of how much vitriol is flying around here ever since the shutdown.
What was once a relatively calm forum has devolved into shouting matches and mudslinging.
The fact that ppl are politely asking for invites and getting banned for it should be a red flag in itself.
Since when did it become you are only allowed on one site or get banned.
I'm trying to do my best to inform users of what's happening with that other site so they can rejoin the community they've lost.

Someone throws a party. Everyone shows up. All of a sudden a bunch of assholes who had no problem partying there before start to say "This party sucks, you should go to the other party!" On their way out they insult the owner and piss on the rug.
What would you do?
People is still reading, it's just that no one wants to reply... GAF is on silence mode, and for a good reason I believe

I'm going to go wherever the best gaming discussion is. If it's here, great if it's somewhere else so be it. Surprising how dead it is here at the moment...with the hundreds of thousands of users i didn't expect the activity to drop off a cliff.

You can always ask the support email address. It's reset era support@gmail .com (no spaces). they are pretty swamped right now, but they should be able to answer this. Just maybe accept that it'll take a day or two for them to respond.
You do realize that that is coming from the leavers as well as the remainers? It will also be calm again when the transitional period is over.
What are you talking about? Looking at the past few pages, I don't see them getting banned.
