By FortuneFaded Go To PostAccusations of EL have been known for years, anybody who posted them on gaf would be quickly banned and the posts nuked.
It is dishearten to hear of this. I generally thought that the mod team over there was alright, despite looking upon some of their actions negatively, but them knowing of these accusations and still going to the bat for him really ruins my impression of them as a whole.
This is so weird. I hope this site can serve as a similar space. I was really looking forward to the Last of Us 2 threads in the next few months :(
Lurked GAF for awhile now (forgot my old account), so decided to make one here in case i forget. (Foot-thread)
Apparently, it wasn't a new thing. The guy got nudes from a poster's GF in exchange for a PSP and posted them online. Also grabbed some girl's ass in Spain at a party.
Ironically, this thing probably blew up more than it normally would've, because for the last month it's been thread after thread about sexual harassment scandals, including ND. He got caught too and now it might kill the site.

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.site not working ain't a accident (other than the DDOS'ing) maybe thinking if they take it down long enough it will rid some caching while stuff disappears
I hope one of the mods goes rogue and leaks some shit from the mod section.
When it comes down to it, I don't care if Rey is a Mary Sue or not, it's a fantasy film. I like TFA a lot. I've watched it a bunch of times and will watch it a bunch of times more in my lifetime, but fucking hell do people get defencive about it. The dude perma banned me for it. I had been on GAF for well over a year, nearly 2, had been banned only 3 times before, for totally separate reasons and way shorter bans, and the dude goes and fucking perma bans me. He can eat shit. I'm still a little salty over it.
By ChefHat Go To PostWell at least I know you have good opinions then.

what happened with GAF is if a pro-LGBT forum suddenly got news that their owner routinely donates to pray the gay away camps.
By Nelo Ice Go To PostWell I hope GAF stays up long enough to so we can reach out to any community interested in moving. In the few moments GAF has worked I've reached out to the communities I was active in.
DotA GAF are being whiny SoBs right or but Nov 1 is when the patch drops so maybe they will chill out. Hylian would be good.
I need the site to stay up to get on TekkenGaf. Derek, sasuke91, lots of peeps.
A couple of mods ran indie gaming GAF monthly, but they crying in their pillows.
Black GAF was dropping hints about leaving. I didn't know why at first. Already got a PM from one.
If the site ever stabilized I'll do my part to heard them over.
By DY_nasty Go To Postshit, make an alt and clean slate ⢠it

Do you all really think Gaf is going to disappear because of some stories of sexual assault from the admin? Whatâs to stop him from saying âI fucked up sorryâ getting new mods ans just continuing with the 90% remaining users who donât known or donât care?
By Xpike Go To PostGAF 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 itYeah he blatantly tried to bury that shit and even his statement was hidden in a locked thread.

I actually reached out to HylianSeven on steam and he said he'll spread the word.
GAF mods quit list is going from a football starting 11 side to a Handegg starting line up (i have no idea how many players they have, but surely it's over 11)
By Ruga Go To PostLurked GAF for awhile now (forgot my old account), so decided to make one here in case i forget. (Foot-thread)The girls ass thing was a direct quote from Lore in his europe trip thread few years back.

nobody knows!
I really think this might be the end of the site, unless he sells it to someone, but I don't think that are going to be a lot of buyers interested in it right now. Especially if you consider that, by still posting there, you might be helping him, aggregating value to the site, and I believe a lot of the members don't want to do this at the moment.
It's a crazy situation, just hope the community can find a new home here and other places as well, always loved the discussions there, even though I was only a lurker.

I'm just glad to be on a site that doesn't require me to dig out the credentials for my ISP email address that I haven't used since first signing up for the internet over 15 years ago.

Evillore is more or less finished, and most communities are already moving to Discords or here.
By viciousds Go To Postis there an advanced search functionâŚâŚsearch here is kind of weirdno, search is broken.
Ugh...
I've lost my "home" forum once before, many, many years ago, and I guess I've lost another one. Such a shame to have the site go out like this.

I never got why he lied about not knowing Amir0x (or even his name). He donated $1000 to him, and I even think they had met prior to that.
Plus they knew each other from years and years online.

It's broken ATM, reilo (main coder, admin) has it at the top of his to-do list.
By Francis Go To PostI never got why he lied about not knowing Amir0x (or even his name). He donated $1000 dollars to him, and I even think they had met prior to that.he knows no one can call him out on the forum he created, they would just get banned

I don't think it will matter. GAF will be too toxic at that point, and ad networks will pull out support en masse.

By kaputt Go To PostIt's a crazy situation, just hope the community can find a new home here and other places as well, always loved the discussions there, even though I was only a lurker.Likewise. GAF was my favorite place to stay up to date on gaming news and just news in general. Don't know if this place can fill that void but I'll give it a shot.

It was to create some distance between himself and amirox since amirox had become toxic.
By Epsilon-delta Go To PostI don't think it will matter. GAF will be too toxic at that point, and ad networks will pull out support en masse.lot of this hinges on the type of stories coming out of game sites. Like, will waypoint do something? Rumors of kotaku in the mix. Neogaf is a giant deal in games. Companies datamine it for opinions like crazy.
By Guts Of Thor Go To PostCan anyone point me in the direction where the poligaf, 80's retrowave and metal communities went?Poligaf went straight to discord but i dont know where it is unfortunately. Someone tried to get a hold of them.
Well at least GAF blowing up right before my eyes is distracting me from the Yankees doing the same.

By Mortis Go To PostThe console warrior stuff itself didn't really bother me that much.No one here has favoritism towards anything, well at least the pre-exodus people. Switchpro is the only âfanboyâ obviously, just look at the name. Other than that everyone just plays whatever they like on whatever platform they like and no one really cares.
What always got me was how it was accepted to warrior for one side or the other. Anybody calling it out would be given the canned 'not a hivemind' or 'confirmation bias' defense. Just be honest about, you're not fooling anybody.
Anyway, happy to be here. Hopefully the environment here is less abrasive!
By jman2050 Go To PostWell at least GAF blowing up right before my eyes is distracting me from the Yankees doing the same.FeelsBadMan. Looks like I gotta cheer for the dodgers in the world series.

No ill will against the Astros, if they win I'll just look forward to a fun and entertaining series.

By Xpike Go To PostIf Kotaku/Polygon/etc publish something Gaf's reputation will be permanently gone, no ad company wants to be related to the child porn/sexual abuse siteApparently Kotaku is looking into it.
This will be a big story, but they'll probably wait for Evilore to comment, or at least a bit of time to be reached for comment, before writing a story about it.
One of the largest video game forums on the internet imploding is definitely news they will want cover.
By jman2050 Go To PostWell at least GAF blowing up right before my eyes is distracting me from the Yankees doing the same.
And Houston winning is distracting me from Michigan following Yankees/neogaf's route
Anyone reading this who quit GAF today is a punk bitch.
Evilore outed himself as a sexual assaulter years ago.
