I put it on my resume next to my WoW guild.

No. Some friends and family vaguely know.

Only one person who is into games. He knew what GAF was but didn't even know Era was a thing.

LOL, yeah its never come up because no one knows it exists. Even among my 'gamer' friends, it's not even a blip in the grand scheme of things. But that's message boards in general other then reddit (if that can be considered a message board?)

My GF lives with me and inevitably sees me browsing Era every now and then. She knows it's about video games but doesn't really care otherwise.

My brother sees me browsing it but he probably doesn't know wtf it is.

Other than that, no haven't told anyone cause again I don't think they would understand what a "forum " is in this day of Snapchat and instagram

Yeah but none of them had heard of it. They just know its a message board. None of my mates are into social media. They don't use facebook either.

Yes.

I have a couple of IRL friends who also post on Era. They joined up here when they were hunting for the SNES Classic and mainly post on the gaming side.

Our group chats about Era are wild :-)

Never told anyone directly but a couple years ago a friend saw me browsing gaf on my phone and when I told him what it was he gave me a weird look.

There's no point in telling people who have no interest in the medium. I mention it sometimes to people who play games. Sometimes they'll know about it, other times they don't (and don't really care).

My bf knows, doesn't really say anything but would prefer I'd read something more "mature".

Of course, that's the first thing I tell somebody. Even in a job interview.

Two people, one of which was a friend that used GAF, but never jumped over here. The other being my girlfriend who knows of the site just because I use it.

One of my co-workers knows, but I dunno if he reads this forum too often or not. Nobody else knows what the fuck this place even is

If you see this let me know, friend whose name starts with D

I don't think anybody I know knows what ResetEra is.

My wife knows that I browse a forum for news on games, social issues, etc. and occasionally comment.

Saw a dude in college browsing resetera, asked him and turns out he was a lurker, felt awkward.

I tell i'm on a forum where lots of curious openminded people from all over the world discuss different topics and i tell them how much i like that and how much i learn from it. Lately some people here seem to be confused and scared though. Humor and freedom of speech are running backwards imo. Not completely but certainly with certain people.

Only one person knows and she has a very low opinion of this place. It doesn't come up in everyday conversation.
Some don't even know what a forum is lol.

The only time I ever heard reset era mentioned was on Kinda funny, they referenced and read people's E3 predictions and discussed them. I have caught people just calling it GAF still on podcasts when the news usually gets posted here first.

I've told only one friend, she also has an account here. But to be honest, most of my friends know my username. So if they're reading Era and see my posts, they probably know it's me.

Nobody knows or gives a fuck what Resetera is. Disclosing your membership here is akin to boasting about your reward card for a local sandwich shop.

Na, but I saw a dude on the train the other day browsing it (happened to catch my eye, I don't actively look at peoples phones like a creep).

Shoutout to some member of BostonERA that checks ResetEra on the T. I'm not alone!
