Same here, but I donĀ“t think he would be such an idiot
By JustJavi Go To PostSame here, but I donĀ“t think he would be such an idiotYeah I dunno about that all things considered.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostYeah I dunno about that all things considered.
True that, I take my words back. I still hope he doesnĀ“t though.
By ElyrionX Go To PostAlso I still donāt understand why everyone thinks the site is gone. It is down now but no way in hell itās gone for good right now. Weāll see it come back.
Even if the site loses half its user base, thereās still plenty of people around to make it work.
Because a lot of companies exclusive content and insiders wont' want to be associated with the site anymore unless it comes with some clear explanations. But a lot of brand damage has been done.
By TheSpyAmidstYourRanks Go To PostI asked before and Iāll ask again, though Iām sure doing so is futile because none of us would know better, but do we think we will be given the option to permanently remove our accounts and posts if GAF comes back? I certainly want that option.I doubt he's gonna release the info.
I also hope EL isnāt petty enough to release our personal information linked to our account names (email + username), because that would be something else.
If he's smart he's gonna get some legal advice and tries to sell the platform. It's not like people wouldn't come back to their precious "hobby" under a new leadership.
By ZattMurdock Go To PostI have a suggestion and I think it's quite simple. First of all, thank you for having us and I do love the site's looks in my phone, it's quite smooth and fast.I'm just a user who's been here for some time :P
My suggestion would be to divide the "Ent" part of the forum, so you have Gaming, Comics, Film, Music, without losing the proposal of the forum's name.
As I mentioned, Reilo is working on it.

It's right on this page, where people made the same or at least similar suggestion. You're free to add yours there.

I wonder how important that was for the overall health of the community? At this point I'll settle for a good chunk the usersbase back and build from there.
By ZattMurdock Go To PostI have a suggestion and I think it's quite simple. First of all, thank you for having us and I do love the site's looks in my phone, it's quite smooth and fast.A separate gaming section is already on the cards.

We went from 4 sections down to 3, due to the community not needing the 4th before. So we're flexible with it. It just takes some manual design work to bring it all together.

By Ref_Fuji Go To PostI wonder how important that was for the overall health of the community? At this point I'll settle for a good chunk the usersbase back and build from there.A lot of people have mentioned it as a priority.
And a part of me wonders how much of the new threads was posted by company PR departments.
I'd like to clarify, i actually have no problem with the paid forum threads. Think it was a smart sponsorship program.
By Branduil Go To PostThat would be a good way to get sued for all of his remaining money.You ever read the privacy agreement on gaf?
taking back my statement, I can't find it, and i'ts not fair to comment with out a copy to hand.
By NaughtyRskl Go To PostAre you calling me uneducated/retardedā¦.I AM OUTRAGEDdarling come on. We dont need aggressive sarcastic comments for everything.
OUTRAAAAAAAAGE
Someone spot me bros i got offended on the internet.
Im literally shaking with emotions right now.
Relax, and try and put your point across without the use of caps to emphasis on certain words, or snide remarks. Let's be civil about putting our opinions across, alright?
Hopefully others here do too.

Why would you believe he would release personal information? That's fear turned up to 11 for no reason.
As for the option to remove posts, I really doubt it. For what, anyway? Again, sounds like you are unreasonably afraid that you might be shunned for posting on a forum that happened to be owned by a piece of shit.
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostThat's not Bish at all.
That's exactly what Bishop was doing for several years.
By NaughtyRskl Go To PostAnd that ResetAge thingā¦.if its true it will be a sitting duck for the trolls on 4chan.
And for this reason I'm personally done with GAF, be it the same website coming back online or something else that's publicly known to be a direct replacement. GAF as it was is dead (in some ways a good thing, in others not so) and any replacement is simultaneously going to fail to capture the same spirit whilst also inviting its own brand of further bullshit.
I think it's interesting that so many sub-categories of GAF have found their way here (I'm here via following FootyGAF), and now GAF itself is gone there's a broader range coming here. At the moment this feels like the perfect blend of user activity, broad range of discussion and slick design, whilst standing on its own two feet without an obvious association to GAF.
If this forum can foster a strong sense of community and stay nicely active without trying to directly ape GAF, I think that's the best outcome.
By Too rich Go To PostI recall blackace. He was a cool guy and dealt out bans that were deserved.
Why he wants to protect Bish are his own reasons. To be clear Bish abused his authority, strutted around like he was sheriff, never filed paperwork and would ban you if you voted for the wrong dog catcher. And yes, he would close threads and make a big announcement about how he was going to cull the heard. Ok, get you kicks breh. But then he would open the same thread so people could post gifs praising him and posts declaring him a savior.
No other mod did this. Simply closing a thread or banning a person was enough. But not for Bish.
Why I want to "protect" Bish is because I don't really think that is a fair assessment of how he moderated.
If the word of his coworkers counted so much before I said anything, it should count the same. Bish detailed everything he did to his coworkers. GAF's actual moderation policy was to never discuss bans on the forums (tbf the times mods did try to explain it got a bit overwhelming)
I do admit Bish had a cult following that he seemed to pandered to at times. But him unlocking threads was more about "this thread was good until some people stepped out of pocket."
Just putting into perspective for you.. Don't know which coworkers you talked to tho
Yeah, this forum is actually really nice. And like someone said, the fact it isn't I'm direct association with gaf is fantastic.
If only Gaming was split from the other entertainment...but I'll adjust!

Itās not that I mind what others think of me posting where it is I choose to, but rather GAF being the target of attacks due to the growing animosity where our identities are suddenly revealed. Iām mostly worried about that.
By Soul_of_Miyazaki Go To PostYeah, this forum is actually really nice. And like someone said, the fact it isn't I'm direct association with gaf is fantastic.I believe the admins of slaent mentioned (in this very own thread) that they are working on creating a sub-forum for gaming under entertainment.

By G Shumy Go To PostBish killed my mother and raped my father..I won't even get into what he did to my cat..šæBut what did he do to you ?
By zon Go To PostThat's exactly what Bishop was doing for several years.He acted well within the rules. Those accounts don't get a tear from me.
Aren't the so called hundreds of bans done supposedly by bish in a like a month or whatever from the keyboard of the same dude who the mods just deserted en masse. Just sayin.
By G Shumy Go To PostBish killed my mother and raped my father..I won't even get into what he did to my cat..šæLet's wait until we have all the facts

Nah man i was joking, i didn't take offense and i think he didn't mean to offend either, a misunderstanding more than anything.
We all cool on my part.
By ElBoxyBrown Go To PostHe acted well within the rules. Those accounts don't get a tear from me.
The man was removed from his post. He obviously didn't act well within the rules.
By NicasDream Go To PostBut what did he do to you ?I ain't saying nothing!
By blackace Go To PostLet's wait until we have all the factsš
By zon Go To PostThe man was removed from his post. He obviously didn't act well within the rules.He wanted to work on his own personal stuff.

Agreed! Though, i dont think we need to adjust, looks like a gaming only section is coming?
Guys... at least read a little.
They be working on a dedicated gaming section.

Pathetic.
that motherfucker is ghosting out. fucking guy was a turd and his response (or lack thereof) shows that as well
By Too rich Go To PostBish got horny for that. and then he got extra hard for the attention and crowds. It was disgusting to say the least. He would close threads with a promise to Bring The Bans! and rile up the crowd. Then he would reopen the thread after the bans so sycophants could laud him, throw kisses and roses at his feet. And then lock those threads when he felt the ass fellatio was dying down.
I assume he was a man who had little power in his life or was just short.
Quoting this because it made me laugh out loud.
I'd be shocked if he wasn't reaching out to buyers right now. When is back up I expect him to post a lengthy apology and that he's stepping down.

Maybe he should embrace his douchebag persona. He probably can still get about 10%-30% of the forum back depends on how he handle the fallout.
Another gafugee here.
Only stepped into the hip hop-thread so far, but I'm really liking what I'm seeing.
Especially the mobile experience is absolutely amazing.
I just need subbing to threads to arrive and I'm in 100%.

Donāt think that many, if any at all, buyers would want to touch GAF now.
