By JigglesBunny Go To PostI feel so bad for your toilet.
breh there ain't even beans on the plate, thats childs play
By mentallyinept Go To PostOf course. I'm OK with someone making some cash at this if we get a quality forum with strong moderation back.If its mostly the same moderators it will be mostly the same problems.
By flaxknuckles Go To PostWhich it was every time there was an anime avatar so I say they should ban all of those.
Ban anime avatars? Now you're talking!
By Trey Go To PostYeah, more or less. GAF was looked at by a lot of these communities as a totalitarian liberal safe space, and the SJW caricatures of course followed that.
Best to, as always, pay them no mind.
I don't usually, it still blows my mind that someone like Bannon infected it all to push his ideas.
By G Shumy Go To PostThank me toooo!
Really? <3 :)
By Fenderputty Go To PostWhich is all you really need to know about why the rush to create a clone is going down. "because of the community" is a nice way of saying "because we want to monitize that community before it's all torn apart"
Heck, not going to lie - I would if I were more on top of things.
I'll probably honestly end up staying here, cause my other email is gone now and I'm really not arsed to pay for one just to post to a forum. And with all the improvements here and the friendly crowd, it's all very welcoming.
By Arkeband Go To PostSo the reddit thread about this on /r/games is pretty much overrun by GamerGate trolls. It’s sad that there’s really no place to properly postmortem GAF beyond a few offshoot sites like this, like the fake Twitter accounts that have fooled the less tech literate, the seedy underbelly of the Internet is really taking some liberties with how they believed GAF was run.
I just read one upvoted commenter rant about how apparently GAF was against Cuphead because old tymey cartoons were sometimes racist. The only non-OT cuphead thread I ever saw was one about how the devs sold their houses and gave up everything to get their game made. And after glancing at his recent post history he’s also a self identified MRA, so it seems like any group from that alt-right corner of the Internet is going to great lengths to air real or imagined grievances about GAF.
one of the cuphead devs was a fairly active gaf user. They really are clueless.
Evening all - I've been watching the GAF implosion from a distance via Twitter over the last few days, and it seems like here and ResetEra seem to be the two legit alternatives. I recognise a lot of names and Premfaces from (Footy)GAF, and the dark theme and mobile version are pretty slick, so I'm here if you'll have me. I might join ResetEra down the line as well but it's going to be roooooouuuuuuuugh there for a while.
I spent a lot of time on GAF, posted a lot when I first joined but slowed down quite a bit lately, and I tend to lurk more than post now - just wanted to ask if there's any equivalents of these threads on Slaent:
- Cheap Arse Gaffer UK/EU edition (easier than checking HotUKDeals constantly and US deals were kept separate via B/S/T)
- Nintendo eShop download/update thread
- Fire Emblem or Advance Wars community thread
- Monthly PS+ game threads / PSN sale threads
- A YouTube/streaming community thread for troubleshooting/general experiences (this could be a problem RE: self-promotion but I'd hope we'd all toe the line)
I'm sure the other threads I used to check out like gaming & movie review threads/OTs and random goofy threads will come back/pop up in time.
...man, Malka really should've taken the $10+ million.

By nieuwevolger Go To PostYea Neogaf had more haters than I thought… In al kind of comment sections they hated gaf.KotakuInAction and the other GamerGaters are probably out in full force to stomp any last shreds of NeoGAF's legacy into the dirt. It was one of the only major game communities that stood antithetical to their ideals and actively fought against it. They'd do this shit all the time for YouTube videos that criticized the movement, GAF crumbling might as well be a non-stop party to them.
A bunch of banned members also keep grudges at times, and there's been significant cross-over between the two groups in recent years, though certainly not all of them.

I mean this is pretty much the reason for the email thing. You let people sign up with whatever they want and get approved immediately and the forum would get overrun with shitposts from gamergators/4chaners/etc.
By Method Go To Postsome of them learned how to code to create a bot just to make those hate postsWouldn't surprise me in the slightest lol.
this is not a fact but probably is true lol
By Inflatablemidget Go To PostWell I guess it's refreshing to know something is going to be shit before it even starts.So what you working on to counteract this?

By Deadbeat Go To PostIf its mostly the same moderators it will be mostly the same problems.I know some people weren't, but I was perfectly happy there until EL was revealed to be a fucking scumbag a few days ago
Yes I know *now* that he has said\done some suspect shit in the past, which I was unaware of.
By mentallyinept Go To PostOf course. I'm OK with someone making some cash at this if we get a quality forum with strong moderation back.
Sure that's fine, I just don't believe the PR line being put out. The community made them money. Altruism is a nice feel good way of getting that revune stream back. Complete with former mods to make you feel comfy! Just don't ask about how much they knew about Tyler.

By Fenderputty Go To PostWhich is all you really need to know about why the rush to create a clone is going down. "because of the community" is a nice way of saying "because we want to monitize that community before it's all torn apart"They've actually come out and said they're just self-funding for the time being because their priority is getting everyone together again. People assume they'll start using ads eventually, but no official plans for monetization have been put in place yet.
Is it messed up that one thing that stood out to me was that this chick was drinking in her hotel room with a guy when she had a boyfriend? It's hard for me to feel any sympathy for either of them, really. Evilore tried to friendzone his way into some puss, and this chick went on a roadtrip with an obvious beta orbiter LOL.

Klepek's article. reading now
fucking LOL no wonder they all quit
Klepek's article. reading now
Malka has not publicly commented on the allegations, but in a series of email exchanges with me over the weekend, he pushed back against the story. The two have not spoken in years, according to Malka. He called Leupp "a deeply disturbed, malicious individual," a characterization Leupp, in an interview with me today, attributed to Malka's attempts to gaslight people over his own behavior.
"It's been a perfect storm of misanthropy and opportunism," said Malka, who described the accusations as "totally ridiculous and baseless."
As for the incident described by Leupp, Malka called it "totally harmonious and consensual."
According to Malka, he was upfront about a "mutual romantic interest" also coming on the trip, and it "might lead somewhere." He claims an early interaction between the other woman and Malka proved explosive, and resulting in Leupp becoming "increasingly hostile and bitter. He claims she had "two separate public mental breakdowns" before the trip was over. These breakdowns, insisted Malka, were related to a "history of serious mental illness."

Patrick Klepek has an article up about GAF, he's spoken to Evilore. Some choice quotes:

I'll gladly eat crow if that's the case. I'm giving all former mods a side eye until a see a good reason not too though.

I'm expecting a rather big "clear the air" thread right out of the gate.
If it turns out to be completely fucked, I still have this place.
unfortunately some people on the main discord i visit got some misinformation about what happened with GAF, none of them really used it or knew much about it before this but they were talking about how "all the mods and lots of male feminists were outed as sex offenders" and things of that nature and criticizing it for being anti-GG. made me pretty uncomfortable
i posted some clarifying information on the situation later but i don't think any of them read it.

Open Critic has opened their alpha phase. I'm waiting for ResetERA and I really like this board, but I really dig the original purpose of Open Critic, found out about them this weekend. They are basically doing what Rotten Tomatoes does for films, and I think it's a way fair grades with games than what Metacritic has. I've registered there just in case.

One former mod turned out to possess child porn and was arrested.
One former mod told a rape victim to "shush" in a thread about discussions of child rape because she was "biased."
And the owner been sexually aggressive towards women.

I'm a little concerned some replacement forum(s), be it resetera or whatever, may try to censor discussion about Evilore in an effort to completely dissociate. I can definitely understand the desire, but I feel like the effect may be similar to what actually happened on GAF sometimes -- that conspiracy theories blossomed because no one was allowed to ask or say anything, and there was the feeling that mods were effectively helping to cover anything up IF there was something to cover up, purely because of thread locking.
Maybe there could be a dedicated drama / Evilore / whatever discussion zone to avoid spamming whatever future forum comes up.

If they consider calling someone(s) anti GG a valid criticism, I'd assume they got exactly the misinformation that they wanted,
Just read that NeoGAF is coming back but with a greater focus on games/gaming. If a whole heap of news posts start popping up I guess I'll go there again, but I won't ever use NeoGAF again, if that makes sense.
Worried over another Amir0x incident and the potential for doxxing and harassment, one moderator quit after another. When asked about the exodus, Malka shouldered little of the responsibility, and instead pointed at how a "witch hunt" was being carried out to try and tarnish him and NeoGAF.
"A significant portion of the team stepped down in response to [the allegations]," said Malka, "and the rest of the negativity this year hitting a breaking point. 2017 has been depressing and toxic for moderation of social and political issues on a message board that's supposed to be primarily about video games. I totally understand, and I don't blame any of them for parting ways."
Absolutely delusional. dude's been cashing paychecks for doing absolutely nothing for way too long.

I know some shit was fishy at the top when Muemi was demodded. First big "whoa ... what's going on in GAF" moment for me.
so neogaf is coming back and resetera is coming. LMAO this is fucking stupid.
im sorry but evilore sounded like an asshole in that article... dude seems so disingenuous to me

Cheers for this - so far it looks like it's just a Nintendo Switch thread going by the sticky, but I'll keep looking. Thanks!
Hello. Decided to join because GAF is gone and I have nowhere else to turn to lol. Not that I was ever really that active there but I did enjoy venturing into Star Wars GAF, PopGAF, reading up about the news, watching the weekly box office numbers, and seemingly finding gaming information faster there than any other part of the internet. So that does sting. I never liked Evilore, not after the way he (and his moderators) treated Popgaf with the most subtle forms of homophobia.

You mean ResetEra? Whos posting news about neogaf if its just EL alone?
Pretty disgusting seeing Lore double down. I guess his pride was more important than his income or the community that was in his care. RIP neoGAF.
take some fucking personal responsibility for your failures. the response to the amirox situation was already terrible enough but this is fucking worse. SMH
