By BravesCountry Go To PostNeoEra or NeoAge sound too similar to the original name. I have a feeling this new forum will have a hard time recapturing the magic anyways, will be a long journey that may not end well.If it gets enough people from the original, it doesn't matter it'll plant the seeds as long as moderation isn't completely bonkers or the site is broken. It was the people who made it great so if they're there then the site will be great again.
I feel like if I go to sleep this conversation will have gone to millions of other aspects that I don't want to miss, but I have to wake up early tomorrow... Decisions.
That's what you left me with? That's like going to the restroom immediately after someone and they left some shit in the toilet that didn't flush all the way. Bye.
By Inflatablemidget Go To PostThe mods at Waypoint won't let Gaffers call themselves "refugees" because it belittles what it means to be an actual refugee. True fucking story. And people thought GAF was Snowflake Central. Yeeeeesh.
Sounds like a blast. I went over there, couldn’t handle the constant scrolling on mobile without signing up.
This place is prettier (and seems to have more chilled out mods).

By AyoHolUp Go To PostOk, I think I have learned enough from this, and I'm sure you guys don't want me here, either, which is fine. I just wanted to show a little humanity for my "enemy" during a really significant blow to their community
I'm sure you guys will bounce back in some way or another
But I'm going to leave you with one thing.
My biggest gripe with you guys is not that you're looking for a good world for all people to live in.
We have all degraded ourselves to the point where we pick a color and hate the other side. What the left and the right wants is the same: to live peacefully and grow as humans.
Unfortunately, there are severe issues with humanity, and the difference between us is that while we have decided to hold factual evidence as gospel, you have decided to worship emotion and feelings.
I can absolutely understand why someone can choose the latter over the former, but we have come to the point where we have the ability to fix things with modern technology, and we are only hindered by our refusal to accept that there even is a problem.
I used to be a completely atheist Republican hating Democrat during the bush years because I saw the church as a hindrance to scientific advancement.
Now, less than 20 years later, we have the same side deeming facts as racist, and while claiming to be so progressive, has literally no care that their computer, iPhone, clothes, literally everything around us is manufactured by essentially child slaves in China
Yet, I hear more complaints about fucking Trump's twitter than I do about the literal slaughterhouse that is Chicago.
You mean to tell me that you care so much about one black teenagers death after he was killed by a cop, enough to start riots across multiple cities, yet have zero concern that there has been 42 people, mostly black, that have been shot to death in Chicago IN OCTOBER 2017 ALONE
You don't even need to reply, and I'm not gonna be surprised if this is even deleted and my account banned. I won't be returning
But I hope I could give some insight into why we hate you.
We don't even disagree with your end goal, but your method of approaching this is flawed.
So, I leave you with this.
Let's assume that the countless studies are actually true, and that Africans actually do have a lower IQ, on average, than whites and Asians.
Rather than fighting to suppress that information, we could utilize modern day genetic science to figure out if we could potentially introduce the same genetics responsible for cognitive ability into the genome of the African people.
Its science fiction now, but we have made sheep literally glow in the dark using genes from jellyfish.
We have the technology to fix this, but we can't even admit the problem is there because it's gonna offend people.
Meanwhile, millions of children are dying of starvation in Africa and I guarantee a few have died since I began this post.
Yet I see no outrage.
Ah there it is.
By panty Go To PostOr just leave all that crap to Gaf."Guys hear me out, we can bridge this divide."
This isn't gaf.
What is with people like you? An internet enemy, what? I'm looking for a chill forum where I can talk about video games and football. Jesus christ.
*calls people enemies that he 'hates'*
By AyoHolUp Go To PostWhile there was never any explicitly discussed topics, anyone familiar with stalinist Russia would immediately recognize the similarities between the way the USSR policed it's citizens and NeoGAF moderated it's users.Mate, no. Don't go comparing NeoGAF's moderation with a system of government.
I'm not trying to criticize you guys, just point out my own comparisons
In Soviet Russian society under Stalin, you said a single sentence that the government didn't like and you ended up dead or in a Siberian gulag
On NeoGAF, you said a single sentence that the moderators didn't like and ended up temporarily or permanently banned.
I'm just saying that the core logic is exact.
Forums need an authoritarian system, especially with anonymity being a big part of it.
It's how you uphold the rules that's different.
By Angelus Errare Go To PostAh there it is.I wish people would just be upfront man.
Save so much time.
By pulga Go To PostSome of y’all motherfuckers need to go to sleep, sheesh
No! Sleep! Till Brooklyn! (or something, good night fellow ex-Gaffers).
Someone comes from /pol and within five posts is talking about “countless studies” that black people are inferior.
Wonder why I don’t go there. 🤔

For real, just say it with your chest and go on about your day. Now he'll slink back to 4chan and be like "guys I tried to be reasonable and this is how they responded, typical mongrels"
By Angelus Errare Go To PostAh there it is.
lol, who thought it was a good idea to acknowledge the self-admitted /pol poster. What else did you expect
By Random Ass Username Go To PostGiven all the pedo shit might wanna stay away from "neo" anything.How do I avatar quote
By rekameohs Go To PostSomeone comes from /pol and within five posts is talking about “countless studies” that black people are inferior.It took him like 5 posts though and I was honestly expecting him to start with that in like 2.
Wonder why I don’t go there. 🤔
By Violet_0 Go To Postlol, who thought it was a good idea to acknowledge the self-admitted /pol poster. What else did you expectBest to just ignore them going forward and not bite.
By NimbusD Go To PostIf it gets enough people from the original, it doesn't matter it'll plant the seeds as long as moderation isn't completely bonkers or the site is broken. It was the people who made it great so if they're there then the site will be great again.Yeah I"m just worried about the community fracturing too much.
Also big surprise that the Pol guy dips out right after the lower IQ comment, too cowardly to stick around for that one and tried to make his bow out look noble. Fucking trash.
By Violet_0 Go To Postlol, who thought it was a good idea to acknowledge the self-admitted /pol poster. What else did you expect
Ppl never fucking learn. As soon as he got here and announced his flag you knew shit would go down the same.
By NovemberMagnus Go To PostHow do I avatar quote
right click -> copy image address -> use the response tools (image in particular) paste -> profit
By theartistformallyknownasmush Go To PostI last looked at this thread at pg. 35 whadda I miss?
NeoGAF was a New Gaffe.
By Violet_0 Go To Postlol, who thought it was a good idea to acknowledge the self-admitted /pol poster. What else did you expect
Perfectly sums up why that particular kind of GAF moderation wasn't the problem.
i hope the moderation is ready for the flood of troll posters that're going to come in :s
Or did that already happen and I missed it?

By Angelus Errare Go To PostAh there it is.Congratulations to everyone who had under 5.5 posts
By Lloyd Go To PostWhy is Brolly from DBZ so popular?
His power is maximum, ofc.
Hopefully the smaller status of this site means we don't get anywhere near as many obvious mousetraps that GAF attracted like the above example.
Just read the Kotaku article and the irony is overwhelming.
Dude cultivated a culture of witch-hunts, virtue signaling, dogpiling nonsense then speaks out against that same culture mere weeks before he himself gets his head chopped off by the villagers. Whether the allegation is true or not, I can't say he didn't deserve it. Sucks for everyone else affected though.

I really miss my gaming news stream. Very confused as to what ResetEra is and if I need my Gaf email I screwed since email I used was a verizon one that is now gone with the AOL merger.
By Rumblebones Go To PostSo from what I understand Bish and Shinobi are consulting on the OpenCritic forum and have no connection to the guys over at ResetEra,To hell with any site Bish is affiliated with. He was a cancer, and what made it worse was users treated him like a king. So pathetic.
Shinobi might cause people to flock over for the insider info. I can see that OpenCritic place becoming something similar to The Escapist forums.
I think ResetEra is going to go through a lot more growing pains precisely because it's, from the looks of it, trying to recreate GAF, and I think that's a no-go.
