By Too rich Go To PostI would say the vocal minority was what propelled GAF. We were all libs. Like dyed to the wool libs who wanted free access to education, health care, and non-discriminatory policies. 100% of the population on gaf was that. It started as a gathering place for middle-class, college going, PC enthusiasts. It's not hard to realize those people are gonna be the more wealthy, white, educated and tech focused people.
A place was created where racists were banned. We thought we were the vanguard for change. Early GAF was mostly tech and discussing how more minority representation was needed. I don't know how it's view from other sites was known. Apparently the banning of people who say nigger, fag or kike was a novelty in that era. I was an early adopter. It was fun to accuse others of blatant racism and then watch them being banned.
For a long time it was just that. Argue that blacks are dumber, lazier, or genetically non superior was a moral sin. Instaban. I led many the charge.
I think the change came when Bish started his Ban tour of 2012. It was Obama vs. Romney and suddenly being a republican was a mortal sin. I didn't care because I'll vote whoever as a D by their name. But suddenly the idea of less money for social programs, desire to fund the military, change the tax rate, became a GOOD or BAD scenario.
And Bish totally pushed that. Evilore ignored it. And the other mods in power said nothing.
And people ate it up. All the "Bish is coming with the banhammer" gifs were posted in glee.
Looking back I realize how that sort of mentality lead us to where we are now.
By Rumblebones Go To PostI've floated the idea of relocating here on the DCTV GAF discord.Man, I'm already missing our years-long DCTV group, I loved watching the shows live with everyone. Was so much fun.
It may be premature, but I'd like to keep as many of us in one spot as possible and this place is looking good atm.
By Papercuts Go To PostHis power is maximum, ofc.Ha! I always liked that pic.
By Inflatablemidget Go To PostTo 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.But the funny gifs
By Lloyd Go To PostWhy is Brolly from DBZ so popular?
I think folks liked the idea of him being the true once in a thousand years "Super Saiyan", since basically everyone after Goku got super saiyan status (to include Bardock)
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.
I agree, problem is that GAF members are already running off in all directions, which is probably why the people behind ResetEra are trying to get this done as quickly as possible, and make lots of mistakes in the process...
I liked it better when these racist fucks had to create burner accounts to avoid being banned on GAF.
SLAENT is too good of a community for all these GAF washouts to come in and wax poetic about how Black people are possibly inferior because logic and fairness or whatever.

Man, now that GAF is gone, I'm just trying to find a place to settle. Don't even need to daily influx of news. Hopefully just somewhere to shoot the shit, and maybe get some people to play PUBG with. Speaking of which, there's gotta be a PUBG thread on this site, yes?
By Angelus Errare Go To PostI think folks liked the idea of him being the true once in a thousand years "Super Saiyan", since basically everyone after Goku got super saiyan status (to include Bardock)I liked it because it doesn't make sense that the chosen one of a race of bloodthirsty monsters would be some one like Goku.
ayoholup guy is probably just a reddit troll trying to give /pol/ a bad (worse) name
he admitted he was a hardcore reddit user (wut?) when i pointed to his obvious reddit spacing
anyway now that he's basically done, i'd just like to say that i like the looks of this site the most compared to waypoint and the bore (dunno if there's other sites gaffers split onto)
hopefully this site can take off

People trying to capitalize on the vacuum are gonna lose so much quality and have no real solid foundations on which to build. It's just gonna be a mess of priorities.
Sadly until "those" peeps can just say and do whatever they want. With no moderation, this forum too will be a snowflake safe space to them.

By NovemberMagnus Go To PostI liked it because it doesn't make sense that the chosen one of a race of bloodthirsty monsters would be some one like Goku.But that's why he trolls other Saiyans so good.
By DY_nasty Go To Postanyone who kicks goku's ass can't be that bad
When piccolo dragged Vegeta by the hair into the Broly fight tho! lmao
By Lloyd Go To PostMaybe I need to go rewatch the DBZ movies when I have the time. Is Bio-Brolly worth it?No it’s terrible
By NovemberMagnus Go To PostBut the funny gifs
http://bugfree.free.fr/tmp/wtf.gif
Still my favourite... back when Bish was actually sane
Honestly thought that Gaf would have been back up by now. And I think if it did, it still would get a hefty amount of users going back.
So in a way I just hope it stays down forever, but I know it won't.

By Murcielago Go To PostJirens my doodJiren deserves better goons. Its a shame really.
One of the lowkey best characters was Korin. Should have been in more stuff post DB. He shows up in DBZ a bit then gets fucked up by Buu in GT, lame.

I thought reddit had a better name than /pol/ tho
By NexusCell Go To PostAnd people ate it up. All the "Bish is coming with the banhammer" gifs were posted in glee.Let's actually unpack this for a second here. NeoGaf went tits up literally overnight because the owner of the site couldn't keep his dick in his pants and appears to have serially creeped on women, and the existing mods resigned in protest over what looks like a half-assed attempt at a coverup of said creeping. What in the world does this have to do with Republicans vs. Democrats? Is the suggestion here that Gaf needed to be more conservative because conservatives, as recent history suggests, lionize their sexual predators and therefore Gaf would still exist in its current form because Evilore would have been celebrated by the forum? What exactly is the argument here?
Looking back I realize how that sort of mentality lead us to where we are now.
Are there any banned games here? I know it was a controversial part of gaf but I can't say I didn't understand with shit like Criminal Girls and Hatred.
By Rivyn Go To PostSo… What happened with that 'GeoNAF' site? The supposed to be alternative for NeoGAF.
Invaded by trolls.
By thekad Go To PostJust 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.
so he cultivated a group of people who have no tolerance for sexual harassment? sounds like there is a silver lining to his leadership. (I personally think it was the staff in general more responsible for the culture of GAF, but that's here nor there)
By Rivyn Go To PostSo… What happened with that 'GeoNAF' site? The supposed to be alternative for NeoGAF.Overloaded w/trolls.
By Ref_Fuji Go To PostInvaded by trolls.
By Lloyd Go To PostOverloaded w/trolls.
To be expected, I guess.
Has there been a statement from Evilore, btw?
By Majin Boo Go To PostI agree, problem is that GAF members are already running off in all directions, which is probably why the people behind ResetEra are trying to get this done as quickly as possible, and make lots of mistakes in the process…Yeah I think the vast majority will give the new site a shot if it's functional within a week or two. Like, you miss one sales age thread or week of dragon Ball and you're gonna be hooked on a new community? Slaent is nice but as a gaffer of 12 years, I'll give a copy a try and I'm sure many others will. Maybe not idkm
By NovemberMagnus Go To PostAre there any banned games here? I know it was a controversial part of gaf but I can't say I didn't understand with shit like Criminal Girls and Hatred.
Did anyone even buy Hatred? Did it amount to anything more than a mediocre top down shooter?
If you want to discuss a game, do it. Make a thread. Go to the main gaming thread. Just don't act all attacked when people speak about their displeasure for the game.
NIS America can eat dicks for not localizing Uppers tho

What exactly is the argument here?I think the 'mentality' he's referring to is the zealous nature with which GAFfers would cheer/celebrate over bans; particularly when a mod or a thread would catch double-digit bans in a short timespan.
Because of the glee with which people would titter over bish coming down with banhammer, it led to the forum overall having an incredibly hostile and aggressive attitude toward dissenting opinions. At times it felt like posters assuming a ban was coming ("Bye bitch") was in fact the reason a ban happened at all.
By Angelus Errare Go To PostAh there it is.I mean, the dude did tell us he was from /pol/. It was just a matter of time.
Welp, I'm really going to miss the indie and iOS threads :( It'll also take some time for me to adjust to the layout of this forum, lol.

Gafs Mario Odyssey threads would have been magical. Really hoping ResetEra is in a functioning state by Friday.
By Papercuts Go To PostGoku is the true monster of dragonball tbh.Dude is responsible for the erasure of 2 universes.
Also DBZF gonna be the best game of 2018.
By Murcielago Go To PostNo it’s terribleHow dire we talking here - 4/10 or 1/10?
For me, NeoGaf was both a great source of gaming information, but also a source of frustration. I got really fed up trying to read threads about a certain game (or a movie in OT etc) only to have it derailed completely because someone had a problem with the creator of the game, or the actor/actress in a movie etc. Everything turned into politics sooner or later. Part of me miss it, part of me is glad it's gone.
