GAF GAF GAFittyGAF!
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostI actually gave my wife an ultimatum because she uses the word nigger. :))
Well not a divorce ultimatum, but 'we will get into a huge fight' ultimatum. She didn't understand the reason for the reasons I mentioned before, and that was ok. For me it was when she kept using it after that got me a little mad.
You’re still holding that L because I would have spoken to a lawyer after that.
By Squirrel Killer Go To PostDid you somehow miss all the "make me a mod" begging that took place?Yeah, I honestly did.
Not surprising though, now that you mention it.
By ned_ballad Go To PostI'm just going to be honest hereWas actually just trying to figure out how to PM you, but was going to ask about PoliGAF all the same. Guess there is no replacement yet. Hoping something is figured out sooner or later for the crew.
If the site came back up and PoliGAF started back up mostly the same as it had been, I'd probably go right back.
Which is probably hypocritical given I've not bought games like Hat in Time due to JonTron being in it… but, well, it's easier to not buy a game than to stop checking news I've read every day for 2+ years.
I'd go wherever PoliGAF ends up.
By somnid Go To PostEvilore has to step down for anything to work. No way around it, even with a perfect apology and the victim's forgiveness. The type of community it fostered wasn't known for forgiveness.He could lose that portion of the community and still thrive off of all the continued clicks from people that just loved going there for sports/gaming/movie/TV etc etc threads. All he's lost is the high ground against the racists/sexists etc. His actions say he doesn't much care about losing that. He's in it for the money and the privilege it affords him. He's not going anywhere, and I guarantee you the vast majority of people that were viewing GAF would return.
By Auto Simeone Go To PostLet's all stop using dirty words.
I agree, Amir.
By TheMikado Go To PostPlease don't speak for me. Thanks.
I don't even know who this guy is.
They love to do that. He probably thinks your a Uncle Tom now.
They are dying that this isn't neogaf and they cant yell after some assblasted mod looking for blood.
Fuck y'all and your holier-than-thou attitudes. You people literally seep the fun and joy on any forum you touch.
By c++ Go To PostNot sure if mentioned as this thread moves fast, but NeoGAF is back up. Not even joking. All forums and threads are wiped, but the user db is in tact as I was able to "log in" with my existing account. There's just nothing there.Quoting for a new page. Anyone able to see anything other than a blank forum list?
By Paches Go To PostWas actually just trying to figure out how to PM you, but was going to ask about PoliGAF all the same. Guess there is no replacement yet. Hoping something is figured out sooner or later for the crew.We literally have a politics thread. Contribute there and perhaps PoliGAF will be back.
Stop waiting for others and start contributing. ☺️
By somnid Go To PostEvilore has to step down for anything to work. No way around it, even with a perfect apology and the victim's forgiveness. The type of community it fostered wasn't known for forgiveness.The thing is, he'd probably "step down" but one has to wonder if he'd actually truly go away, or if he'd still collect money and/or influence from the side lines.

It's in maintenance mode, how would you know it god wiped? I can also go to the site and see that I'm still logged in but it clearly says that maintenance mode is active. Am I missing something?
By Sblargh Go To PostThat was when being a mod meant having internet status on a popular internet community. Now it means you are wasting your time helping a creepy rich asshole getting richer.As we've seen on this very page, people are willing to go back, and if even only a significant fraction return, that slight power trip of being a mod will be enough for people to want it.

So... reset era is just a codename i think. They will keep the neogaf name and just reset the thing. That's my take.
By NaughtyRskl Go To PostThey love to do that. He probably thinks your a Uncle Tom now.

Note this in contrast to the past 2-3 days, where it's been a hard website error. The website is actually up now, which is a sharp difference.

If changes for the better take place I think it's fine, the others you mentioned stuck to their guns.

oh go cry somewhere. Some people get called for saying dumb shit and you're already crying for your safe space back.

Alright guys lets not devolve into just namecalling. I don't necessarily agree with that post but we don't have be nasty to each other.
By c++ Go To PostI'm viewing on mobile, not desktop. There's no message about anything. Just the normal "front page" and it says "No Forums Available"Doesn't mean it's wiped. Been a long time I saw a backend/admin panel of a VB forum but you can probably just hide all forums without wiping.
By NaughtyRskl Go To PostHes swedish bro, ofcourse his gonna hard "ER" everything he says, you know.
For real, when i saw this "but he said it with HARD RRRRRRRRRRRRRR" on Gaf i threw my hands up at the whole stupidity.
Are you people serious ? if someone says it with a hard R hes more racist than with a soft R ?
Hes not from fucking Alabama hes SWEDISH.
Look at him, he speaks fucking viking language you can't even pronounce with your English tongue.
...But he said it regardless? What the hell, his language and country doesn't change that. Say you still enjoy their content or whatever, don't put yourself through all these mental hoops.
By Script Kiddies LLC Go To PostYou’re just going all in on being a piece of shit, huh?
I have a potty mouth but i am right. The fact that i auto-censor myself when i post shows the fucking grief that forum and its posters did to me.
By NaughtyRskl Go To PostIm saying thats the mentality he had growing up, internet cafes in Europe in the CS 1.6 days would make Xbox Live 1.0 chats seem politicaly correct.
Hes a dumbass for letting his impulses get the better of him in that stream, but i wouldn't put this guy in the same light as say…. Jared Taylor or Richard Spencer.
Now those are hardcore racists.
I'm also from Sweden, I'm a few years older but I don't think things changed that much between PDP and me.
Saying racist shit was cool because it was forbidden, simple as that. We didn't think about any larger issues. Same thing with doing the nazi salute and shouting 'sieg heil' when adults didn't see us. Thing is, this was when we were 14-16. In my group of friends some of us (myself included) kept up with the racist jokes and shit until our early 20s. At some point you realise what it is you're actually saying though. At 28 years of age you're aware of the baggage and history words like 'nigger' carries.
By TheMikado Go To PostAlright guys lets not devolve into just namecalling. I don't necessarily agree with that post but we don't have be nasty to each other.
Lol.
Yeah if I go to gaf now, I'm on the actual site and it just says
"No threads available"
And everything is empty.

By NaughtyRskl Go To PostThey love to do that. He probably thinks your a Uncle Tom now.If this is too much for you, there are other forums with GAF refugees.

There is no excusing someone saying nigger and deflecting it with wigga BS about 90s hip-hop. He fully knows what he's saying and it's not a one time thing, last January he used "18 nigga" on some handsome celeb list and that's before the more recent situation, even after his apology he joked about saying it again.
You can like him but don't act like it's some normal shit.
By Inflatablemidget Go To PostWhere are you seeing GAF back up? I see Bad Gateway (502)

By TheMikado Go To PostAlright guys lets not devolve into just namecalling. I don't necessarily agree with that post but we don't have be nasty to each other.It's starting to feel a lot like GAF in here now. This place was just a mirage after all!
I'm just glad everything is concentrated in this one thread.
127 pages tho. That's a too much time to waste about NeoGAF.

Did...did you not read what I responded to? He’s pretty much dropped all pretenses about being a racist now.

Poligaf moves back and they're all gone to me. They're the only part I truly miss on GAF, but I expect better than that.

Might be template related, maintenance related or just hidden for specific user groups. I highly doubt it got wiped. Backend tools for those boards allow quite a lot without the need of deeper development knowledge.
By Gaz_RB Go To Postoh go cry somewhere. Some people get called for saying dumb shit and you're already crying for your safe space back."But isn't that what you all are crying for right now?"
Naw, I just want a forum to talk about comics/games/movies without racism, sexism, homo or transphobia popping it. Basically human decency . But that's a lot to ask I guess in most people's eyes.
It is sad this community's most fast moving most updated thread is now one about refugees from the old one. I want to integrate into this new one, not take it over.
It’s really not that hard for a white person to not use either form of the n-word, hard “R” or not. The only white people I know using it are straight up racists, so PDP, whose userbase is mostly children, using it is worse than your Aunt Sally dropping an n-bomb after one too many Long Island ice teas at your family reunion at the local VFW.
By whatever stroke of fate, that idiot has a huge following and spends it defending racist politicians, using racial slurs, and retweeting white supremacists. Again, it’s not hard to not behave that way.

By Fenderputty Go To PostPoligaf moves back and they're all gone to me. They're the only part I truly miss on GAF, but I expect better than that.I just want PoliGAF back, I don't care where it is :(
By Script Kiddies LLC Go To PostDid…did you not read what I responded to? He’s pretty much dropped all pretenses about being a racist now.
I'm not disagreeing but the mods will get rid of anyone who's really awful pretty quickly. We saw it the other day and it was pretty good. Not too heavy handed so it will either get toned down or removed.
By c++ Go To PostQuoting for a new page. Anyone able to see anything other than a blank forum list?Not sure if anyone answered, but if you are on PC (or Mac) and not mobile, there is a message that says it is down for maintenance. It is not wiped.
