By Random Ass Username Go To PostWhich DBZ intro tho? This is forum breaking.
There's only one intro and that's Rock the Dragon
By Labor Go To PostYou really didn't miss much with Uppers…BISH PLZ
By RM8 Go To PostWelp, 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.
There are some things I miss but mic alreay adjusting pretty well and man this place is slick.

Look I'll take a halfway decent brawler with a silly gimmick if it means i get to soak in that art direction.
I know it's by the SK dudes and their games are trash but...man

Pastry is broken!
I’m quoting myself trying to edit my posts lol. I switched to Chrome on iOS and totally not used to the autocorrect on the keyboard yet.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostWhich DBZ intro tho? This is forum breaking.Why is this even up for debate.
CHA LA HEAD CHA LA
I had a lot of subscriptions to many smaller threads that I considered gems. Outrun music, 16-bit cityscape art/backgrounds, even best 'snow level' music. Damn.
By John Rabbit Go To PostI 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.But that doesn't actually have anything to do with why the site was nuked
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 NovemberMagnus Go To PostBISH PLZ
Gotta be honest

That was one reason I gave it a chance, but the combat felt too simplistic

Dadoji is cool but I've played Musou games with more depth than Senran
What really gets me about that /pol/ user is that he says "the difference between us and you is that we use truth and facts while you use emotions and feelings" I head that same rhetoric out of the 4chan and Reddit trolls all the time, but more often than not their information is false. Truth is always important, but truth also takes into account the experiences of minorities, which those guys don't look at. Also, what I liked about Gaf was that the source of the information was almost always put into question until it could be varified.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostGoku a lowkey (not really) asshole though.I'm nice enough.

and goku has killed more people than freiza ever did. #wakeup
By DirtCase Go To PostI had a lot of subscriptions to many smaller threads that I considered gems. Outrun music, 16-bit cityscape art/backgrounds, even best 'snow level' music. Damn.Yeah it sucks to lose stuff like this and it also would feel kind of artificial to try to recreate it. That's partly why I'm interested in ResetEra. It's weird to try to artificially recreate something that grew organically.
Man, I don't go on the internet for a single day and suddenly my most visited forum is offline over sexual assault scandals. What a world.
By Silky Go To PostI have never watched a single piece of the Japanese voiced-DBZ.
and I never will.
I want to watch Super but I can't handle Grandma Goku.
By RM8 Go To PostWelp, 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.Same gonna muster up some strength and try to make an indie hidden gem thread here in the next week or so. Wont ever be as insightful as a More Badass indie thread but dang it I'll try. If I can get anything off the ground with the indie thread I'll probably attempt to make a thread of good IOS games people can play.
By Thunder Monkey Go To PostBlack Goku is awesome.
Goku is a fuckwit.
Black Goku has killed less people than Goku if we're keeping it 100
By Banzai Go To PostMan, I don't go on the internet for a single day and suddenly my most visited forum is offline over sexual assault scandals. What a world.And Trump is still president. DA FUQ
By mjp2417 Go To PostBut that doesn't actually have anything to do with why the site was nukedI took "where we are now" to mean "why we're reflecting on the ills and flaws of NeoGAF" and not "why NeoGAF no longer exists".
But you're right.
By Rivyn Go To PostTo be expected, I guess.Nope, he's probably trapped in the shower at this point.
Has there been a statement from Evilore, btw?
By Watershed Go To PostYeah it sucks to lose stuff like this and it also would feel kind of artificial to try to recreate it. That's partly why I'm interested in ResetEra. It's weird to try to artificially recreate something that grew organically.I wish I had saved the links in those threads when I subbed, I just kept telling myself it would be there whenever I wanted to extract them.
I'm not familiar with ResetEra, what exactly is it? I see there is a private subreddit, but thats the extent of my knowledge on it.
By cantaim Go To PostSame gonna muster up some strength and try to make an indie hidden gem thread here in the next week or so. Wont ever be as insightful as a More Badass indie thread but dang it I'll try.

He mentioned he saved the info from cached pages of his threads so he may make a new thread here in the near future.
I have to watch the dubs even tho with most things I go for the subs because of nostalgia. Also Vegeta sounds way more badass and like he should imo.
Dragonball Z always just seemed like a lot of power levels and powering up to me. But I watched Transformers so what do I know.
By DirtCase Go To PostI'm not familiar with ResetEra, what exactly is it? I see there is a private subreddit, but thats the extent of my knowledge on it.The subreddit is worth ignoring. Apparently though ResetEra is a new forum being built to take NeoGafs place with no association to Evilore.
By John Rabbit Go To PostI 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.Yep. Users celebrating a fellow user getting banned because they held a viewpoint/opinion contrary to the people dog piling him made GAF unbelievably toxic too often. And it got infinitely worse the past 5 or so years.
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 Random Ass Username Go To PostI have to watch the dubs even tho with most things I go for the subs because of nostalgia. Also Vegeta sounds way more badass and like he should imo.I definitely give you Vegeta.
But the Grandma Goku Kamehameha is just nuts.
By Banzai Go To PostMan, I don't go on the internet for a single day and suddenly my most visited forum is offline over sexual assault scandals. What a world.
Feels kind of weird. As much as it pains me to say, but there's a bit of a void where GAF was. Although it definitely had it's pitfalls and downsides, nothing can beat the gaming news and smaller community threads. Hopefully slaent can get everyone over though. This seems like a great place and not full of the toxicity of the folks online that are cheering GAFs demise. Everyone has been rather welcoming in fact.
By NimbusD Go To PostYeah 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
You're right. While I think Slaent is nice so far and I wouldn't mind it becoming my replacement (although I do prefer NeoGafs old-school design), the reason I believe we need an entirely new place is that it will otherwise be difficult to gather ex-GAF members from all the sites they've run off to. That being said, properly setting up such a replacement in a reasonable time frame, uniting former GAF members and keeping trolls from tearing the place down seems insanely difficult.
By Trey Go To Postso 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)
A group of people eager to feign outrage, jump on any alleged improprieties, and signal how moral and progressive they are to people in the in-group.
That account from the woman suddenly causing the entire moderation team to quit and, apparently, tons of threads being made calling for EL to step down is ridiculous on its face - especially considering all the other moronic things we know for a fact he did that should have caused much more ire.
By Cranster Go To PostThe subreddit is worth ignoring. Apparently though ResetEra is a new forum being built to take NeoGafs place with no association to Evilore.Ah thanks for the heads up. I have been left in a weird stupor today, not being able to access all the threads I frequented.
By mjp2417 Go To PostBut that doesn't actually have anything to do with why the site was nukedI'm not saying it was necessarily the reason the site was nuked, but I would argue that ban culture cultivated a large part of GAFs negative reputation and contributed to accusations of being an "echo chamber".
The community that was over there will be completely fragmented over a dozen different places. There's no other way around it the way the forum closed (so far).
Hey, former GAFfer here. Insane what has happened. Yeah, I'll probably try out OpenCritic and ResetEra eventually; we'll see what sticks, but any new community is going to need to time actually form and gel and for the culture of the forum to take shape. Still getting a feel for what's going on here but I do have to say the guy running around with his dick out talking about "let's just say black people do have low IQs for the sake of argument" doesn't bode well. Having a break from shit like that made GAF special.

This is the truth.
All others are false prophets.
