By Mortis Go To PostWhat are the odds that EL is consulting a legal advisor or something? It seems to be taking quite a while to make that statement. Likely trying to obfuscate any accountability.very high, like 95%+. There is scrambling happening. Not just from Lore.

By Rumblebones Go To PostI hate this motherfucker.
This dude banned me cause of disagreement over fucking Star Wars.
Not because I was rude, or used abusive language, or whatever.
But because he didn't like the fact I had a differing opinion on Star Wars.
Lol I'm dying
By Mortis Go To PostWhat are the odds that EL is consulting a legal advisor or something?
very high and he would be dumb if he didn't.
By Rumblebones Go To PostI hate this motherfucker.Whats your opinion?

Pretty damn high. I wonder if EL is even prepared to shell out some serious dough in the short-term.
By RustyNai1s Go To PostSo, is this my new home?
By ChefHat Go To PostWhats your opinion?The prequel trilogy is better than the original trilogy.
By PurpleMug Go To PostNeoGAF gone in 1 day!Still not certain of that actually. There is a HUGE userbase there and a lot dont even know whats happening still. But yeah, the open rebellion that has happened and that communities tendency to put good above all else screws them future-wise. Im very curious to see how it plays.
By friskykillface Go To PostDid anyone ever offer evilore money for gaf? I swear I read that somewherehttps://www.vg247.com/2014/05/22/neogaf-buy-out-10-million-tyler-malka/
By Apollo Go To Postsuper weak.
By PurpleMug Go To PostI just found out about Amir0x what the fuck?!Funny, when that happened the thread was immediately deleted. Me and a few others caught it and were posting in poligaf and shit like 'uh you guys see that thread?'. Like a half hour later one of the mods confirmed, then locked the thread. On one hand they werent sure it was real and amirox was an active user so i kind of get what they did, but gaf started to call em out so who knows what the motivation was. Def had to do with him being a prior mod.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostThe prequel trilogy is better than the original trilogy.
LFMartins pls. Do your job.
Howdy.
I wouldn't put a hoax past the internet at large, but that would mean a quick an immediate denial. And the mods who quit surely heard from EL. Ergo, it's real.
He's scum. So long. I'll miss GAF, I've been on it since it's earliest form in the 90s.

By ChefHat Go To PostWhats your opinion?
Man, I don't know, it was some bullshit about Luke being more of a Gary Stu in A New Hope than Rey a Mary Sue was in The Force Awakens.
I been a lifelong Star Wars fan. I was a full on geek since I was a kid, so I knew my shit, and I laid out my reasons why I thought their comparisons were wrong.
I got dogpiled with all kinds of faux outrage, but I went through the effort of responding to everyone, with facts and sources to back my shit up.
Then I got banned on some bullshit for having a hostile attitude because I responded to people. I didn't cuss or nothing, I kept it civil, but I got banned anyway.
I repeat. Fuck GhaleonEB. I despise that punk.
By PurpleMug Go To PostI just found out about Amir0x what the fuck?!yea....
...yea. I assume he's in prison now, right?
By PurpleMug Go To PostI just found out about Amir0x what the fuck?!Power tripping moderator is also power tripping irl. I am shocked.
By Ignatz Mouse Go To PostHowdy.this is what i was saying. At the initial start, i get it, but its been a long time now and an exodus has happened. Quick denial with a formal followup TBD was the obvious path there. Also i was witness to Lore doing a mass ban a few weeks ago that was highly disturbing and involved a sexual assault topic. Like even being banned i felt legit depressed watching guys that have been long time users get perma'd cause they were like wtf. That was enough then before all this shit to be thinking lore is fucked.

what was the opinion?
edit: nevermind, you already answered. and holy crap I remember that thread!
By FreezePeach Go To Postvery high, like 95%+. There is scrambling happening. Not just from Lore.
What do mean? Were mods more aware of the situation than we think or something?
By Suen Go To Postreilo make me a footy slaent mod.ded
The whole situation is just messed up to put it lightly. Evilore needs to step down entirely otherwise neogaf is 100% finished!
By G Shumy Go To PostThere he is! Been waiting long enough..how you been, cousin?
YO, ESE! Been a hot minute since the last time i saw you. I was affraid ICE got you deported to Melmac.
Nothing i can complain. With the earthquake and floods that ravaged a good part of mi Mexico querido i'm grateful of what i have now.
Hope everything is fine on your side.

I read GAF daily. I'm shocked at how I heard nothing of it until today.
Child pornography... jesus christ I feel sick
By Rumblebones Go To PostMan, I don't know, it was some bullshit about Luke being more of a Gary Stu in A New Hope than Rey a Mary Sue was in The Force Awakens.Well at least I know you have good opinions then.

By Mortis Go To PostWhat do mean? Were mods more aware of the situation than we think or something?It's all rumors right now but considering a lot of the mods and admins have left, and there is a hidden forum for mod talk, and just the obviousness of millions at stake and years of legacy, its an easy assumption to make.
By Mortis Go To PostWhat do mean? Were mods more aware of the situation than we think or something?it's been known for at least week and they were super persistent on deleting any and all posts/threads about it before today.
By Cranster Go To PostThe whole situation is just messed up to put it lightly. Evilore needs to step down entirely otherwise neogaf is 100% finished!If Vice News really does pick up the story (https://twitter.com/patrickklepek/status/921920594010148864) he won't have a choice, I don't think.
Sad to see what has happened to Neogaf. Despite all the flaws it had as a forum there was plenty of good discussions to be had there. Even if it survives on it won't ever be the same. And Evilore...had no clue about who he was but I'm glad that I'm not ignorant any longer.
By Mortis Go To PostWhat do mean? Were mods more aware of the situation than we think or something?Accusations of EL have been known for years, anybody who posted them on gaf would be quickly banned and the posts nuked.
By Francis Go To PostGhaleonEB has confirmed he's stepped down as a mod.last count by me around 12-15
I don't know how many that makes now, I've lost count.
Would be pretty interesting to be a fly on the wall right about now. EviLore must be sweating bullets.
By Cranster Go To PostThe whole situation is just messed up to put it lightly. Evilore needs to step down entirely otherwise neogaf is 100% finished!It's already fucked IMO.
This gamesmanship from EL has let the house burn down while he's trying to figure out what to even say. Anything he says now will be couched in so much bullshit it will never be accepted.
The Mods have left.
Prominent members are leaving in droves.
It's only a matter of time before advertising collapses.
The longer this silence goes, the more toxic the NeoGAF name becomes. No one will want to pick it up.
Damn...
Damn...
By PurpleMug Go To PostI read GAF daily. I'm shocked at how I heard nothing of it until today.GAF Mods were instructed to keep it as hidden as possible, then EL put out an statement full of lies about how he never knew the dude. Not surprised if most people didn't know about it
Child pornography… jesus christ I feel sick
By s y Go To Postit's been known for at least week and they were super persistent on deleting any and all posts/threads about it before today.
Oh... I was unaware that threads and posts were popping up throughout the week. That seems pretty bad. Seems like they spent a considerable amount of energy on trying to cover tracks.
By sunshine and gasoline Go To PostSad to see what has happened to Neogaf. Despite all the flaws it had as a forum there was plenty of good discussions to be had there. Even if it survives on it won't ever be the same. And Evilore…had no clue about who he was but I'm glad that I'm not ignorant any longer.The concern right now is the GAF community was very tight, and very anti-shitlikeLore, so its all splintered now, and will be further splintered as more find out. Overall it was a good force because the community but now its all uncertain. I can guarantee you a lot of people feel sick right now. The addiction level for that forum especially this year with the crazies, was abnormally high. Serious sociological issue, i mean people spent all day there on and off every day as a sole place to go.
