I'm a bit lost here, hope it's okay to ask a couple questions here:

1) Is the PlayStation Network/new PlayStation games Community thread not around or are we doing something here? Was going to pop my head in since that used to be my main beat, but I only see a PSVR thread and a PS+ thread. Also, will we be splitting topics like that by month again? That always seemed odd and made certain communities fall off my radar if I wasn't around for over a month.

2) Was going to claim a Neptunia OT if no one else had (they haven't) but I guess I can't post. That's tied to "junior" status I guessing? Been a long time since I had to deal with that so my memory's fuzzy (get dizzy).

There's a Vita community thread!

I'm helping make the PS+ thread and it should be up later tonight once he wakes up. We should have the updates for next week by that time as well.

Correct, I think it's 60 days and 100 posts to be able to submit new threads.

I don't mind helping if there is something that you feel would be helpful for the community. We just have to coordinate it, so you get the first post and that can be implemented as part of the OT.

I found the Vita thread and wondered if that was basically it, but TBH I don't really use my Vita much now that most stuff seems to come to PS4 as well. I liked that thread for the discussion of the smaller games though (both Vita and PS4), don't need a Community thread to find people talking about Uncharted/etc.

So PS+ thread is kind of the PSN thread?

As for the Neptunia OT idea I thought of having someone else post for me but wasn't sure that'd be the best idea if they couldn't keep it updated. I guess it's not a super rush, but I did want to start the thread off with some positive vibes and suggest against arguing/trashing the series/whining/waifu wars stuff. I've always wanted the series to have a nice non-awful home, and the 4Chan and Reddit sections for it are...the reason I wanted a non-awful one, lol. The thread on the old community was okay but I thought with a more positive start (like Reset itself!) it might be better off.

PS+ Thread will just be a continually updated thread when the new announcements are out.


Let me know. I will post what you have even if it includes your cautionary statement about $hitting up the thread. I actually add that to most Japanese game OT's because the drive by posts are quite distracting.

It's like:
"I get it, it's not what I like about it either, but it's there, so... please play nice in the sand box.."

I don't have new thread permissions anymore, but I would like to see/start an OT for Home Theater/4KUHD/Blu-ray

I was a fairly new OT back on the old place, but I liked having a dedicated community for HT and home video talk.

EDIT: I'm an idiot and I found it. Sorry.

We'll see how it goes but I'm inclined to leave it here. It's so important, why reduce visibility?
It worked well in community before, I just don't like how it takes up space on the main, faster moving board. I don't mind it staying here for now so new members can get familiar, but I think it would be best to move it to community later.

I'll draft it up when I've got time then! If anyone else wants to help let me know though. I'll probably take a least a day or two, I'm always busy lately.

Is it not at least common courtesy to not drive-by in OTs if not some kinda rule? Era seems more positive so far than...before, but that was definitely a problem I was hoping this site could avoid hence my desire to slip in the OT with at least some encouragement towards that. Probably too early to know if it'll be a pervasive issue here, but much like the "crapping on junior posters" thing, people stopping by OTs just to say they hate things is something I hope can be left in the past. It's annoying enough in "news" threads where at least people have an excuse.

Oh I hear ya man, I hear ya. Hopefully, the positivity stays for awhile. I would still put the cautionary statment in there, so you can have reference for mods of anything were to happen. Like you said though, positive vibes man, positive vibes . .

Currently putting the final touches on the Project Zero/Fatal Frame/零 Community OT, checking my spelling (undoubtedly still missing some errors), cropping the images, uploading and it'll be up for Halloween!

I think that I will throw together an OT for Internet TV (Vue, Sling, DTVN, etc). We had a thread for talking about Vue that we repurposed out of laziness but I think a dedicated thread would be good.

I made a Dead by Daylight Community OT here because no-one else seemed to have claimed it (at least as far as I could search)

How do the mods/community prefer to have 'era' stylized as for topics. I see 'era', 'Era', and 'ERA'. I kind of don't want to do 'ERA' due to similarities that I'll leave unspoken and the actual website itself uses resetera and ResetEra. What's the consensus so far?

I prefer "Era" myself. It's not an acronym, so "ERA" doesn't make much sense, and "era" has the potential to be misinterpreted as part of the preceding word.

There's no Nioh thread. I'd make one but I absolutely do not care about making a pretty OP, so... anybody else feel like it?

We need OTs for pc and console screenshots

Call me crazy but I think there is one already. At least for console screens. Saw one be among the very first threads made. Do a search.

The Project Zero/Fatal Frame/零 Community OT is up! I accidentally posted in the in the Etcetera Hangouts though, could a mod help me out here? :')

DM a mod, way faster than hoping a mod stumbles over your post.

Please let me know if this okay.

Yes.

Is there any way to call dibs on making a Puyo Puyo OT when my 60 days are up? Because I'd love to get some Puyo Puyo tournaments on the go.

Know anyone here who has posting privileges and can set it up and maintain it for you? Otherwise see here: https://www.resetera.com/goto/post?id=260084#post-260084

"Pretty" OTs are basically just marketing/hype fuel to celebrate the release. Barely anyone reads these things anyway already so especially if it's for a game that's been out for a while, you can easily just find some artwork, resize it and use it as a banner and then work with text for the rest of it. There's no need for gigantic art exhibits when the thread's purpose is just to pick up discussions about a game a lot of people already played. But on the other hand, it would tie in with the upcoming PC release...

Will it ever be possible to turn off gif Avatars? So much easier to recognize users by avatars, thankful they are small on mobile. Don't need gifs eating bandwidth tho.

I'm not sure what the policy for ResetEra and expanion OTs will be, especially since D2 is getting 2 of them per year, but I wanted to go ahead and claim it on behalf of the Destiny Era Community. I may not do either per se, but I will update this post with who we designate. I'm also going to follow up with the mod team to clarify all this.

Crash Bandicoot Community |OT| by matunter (27/10/17) Thread should be up by the end of the weekend.

This certainly won't be the most popular community thread on ERA, but I'd love to carve out a little corner on here for Crash fans.

Thread is up!

Sorry about that. I've read the OP, but somehow I've messed up while writing the claim. I'll make sure the OT won't go live any earlier than 72 hours before the release. Thanks for the heads-up!


Can't wait until this goes live! Finished Crash 3 back in the days on PSX. Just recently I've platinum'ed Crash 1 from the N.Sane Trilogy and I had blast with it even though it's hard as fuck :D I'm planning with to platinum Crash 2 & 3 as well, but I'll elaborate on that further when your OT goes online.

Thanks man! Hope you enjoy :)

Im thinking of creating a sci-fi/fantasy books hangout thread, user Jag offered to sponsor it as I'm still a junior, is it possible to get permission to set it up?

October's Books, What are you reading this month? 2017

Also, could veteran OT thread creators let me know what a good width in pixels for banners is, and a good image hosting site that Resetera gets along with? That would be great!
