Hidden near the end of that article it says Gaf will be fully up tonight. Should be interesting (for the record, I won't be posting there). Especially if that new place indeed launches tonight.

fucking LOL no wonder they all quit
There's no way she could possibly think it wouldn't go public after she named him, it doesn't change anything about the shower stuff though.
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.Trump tweet levels of defense.
Ive seen some cunts in my day, but hooo boy that takes the cake
Eat it, you pointy eared shit gobbler

By Willkiller Go To PostPatrick Klepek has an article up about GAF, he's spoken to Evilore. Some choice quotes:Oh man, I am excited for his "statement"
What a cunt
NeoGAF will apparently move "away from the increasingly untenable off-topic discussions that made 2017 such a stressful year for everyone."
What does this even mean? No more OT? OT was the best part of Gaf.
Just moments ago, Malka told me NeoGAF should be fully operational later this evening, and in the near future, will be restructured to more exclusively focus on video games. NeoGAF will apparently move "away from the increasingly untenable off-topic discussions that made 2017 such a stressful year for everyone."
"As for me, I have no reason to go hide under a rock," he said. "I'll be at the helm as I always have."
EL still at the helm and no OT?
yep, GG.
By Ref_Fuji Go To PostI guess we can forget about a neogaf revival after this.this isn't new from Evilore

ResetEra is going to have to convey an improved moderation scheme, a clean break with EL, and open discussion of EL (even if in just one thread) if they want a real shot at salvaging the communities.
Hope they can pull it off.

"As for me, I have no reason to go hide under a rock," he said. "I'll be at the helm as I always have."
Amazing.
Like I said earlier in this thread, there is no chance EL will learn anything from this. He's too much of a fucking idiot to recognise that he is the problem.
By flaxknuckles Go To PostNeogaf loses like 70% of the appeal with no OT.not for me
but it loses 100% of its appeal for me with evilore still running it
LIke nothing will beat the Half Life 3 trailer account nuke but someone has to have a close approximation I could use. The fact that they're going "gaming only" is just pissing me off more.
Jesus Christ @ those quotes. Never want to visit or support anything involving that piece of shit ever again. All this was really for the best.
Slaent and resetera should be perfectly fine replacements. From what I've seen a lot of good posters have already migrated over here.

Him letting neogaf come back means better for resetera as ppl might gather together and then jump ship. The sudden and abrupt death of neogaf meant it was hard to gather the splintered community.
By Meowster Go To PostHello. 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.Welcome.
Cheebo created a Box Office topic with the numbers.

Enjoy your time.

Jesus Christ! He's still planning on rebooting it? No way I'll be going there.
ResetERA can't come soon enough.
As if he cares about the users, if OT is a hinderance he will get rid of it, reinstate Gaming to get the ad revenue flowing and let the mods do the hard work for free as he always did.
He pretty much sealed the deal well before the incident circulated in that thread we he permed parts of girlgaf and folks tsking at his wanton so called "objectivity" in saying "we can't just believe one woman who comes out." It was clear right then dude had something in the closet bout to be shown some light.
By PJV3 Go To PostThere's no way she could possibly think it wouldn't go public after she named him, it doesn't change anything about the shower stuff though.I thought the post was directed at friends not the general public.
He comes across fucking TERRIBLY there. Terribly. Regardless whether we're going to play 'he said, she said', and we'll never know the truth between the two... not one iota of a conciliatory tone.
By Dozer1003 Go To PostAbsolutely delusional. dude's been cashing paychecks for doing absolutely nothing for way too long.Well, to be completely honest, GAF was at it's worst when he was actually around. He was routinely banning large groups of people just for disagreeing with him. He's a petulant little baby. Unfortunately, the mod team took on his persona over the past 5 or so years. Just incredibly toxic. GAF engendered and deserves a lot of the hate it got (just not from the whiney GG bitches). A lot of good people left GAF without needing to be banned first. So I laugh whenever a GAFer states that all the hate comes from people who were banned and are simply jealous that they can't post there. What a load of shit. A lot of us were just turned off, which is why I doubt whatever the mods do now will be any better, but I guess we'll see. This is a nice place to wait it out. We even had an NPD thread for tonight's fireworks.
No, just no.
Of all the things to be done, he doubled down, called the victim a crazy bitch, will close the opinion part of the forum AND will keep being at the helm.
No.
It's done, it's really done.
For me it'll be ResetEra for gaming and Saent for off Topic and casual gaming talk.

It was like Trump tweeting about Comey before Manafort raids lol

Its his legacy now. Not neogaf, not the supposed SJW haven he cultivated.
By Kill Your Masters Go To PostAs if he cares about the users, if OT is a hinderance he will get rid of it, reinstate Gaming to get the ad revenue flowing and let the mods do the hard work for free as he always did.Just let it happen. All the outraged folks here and in the hate sites get what they've wanted, and he gets to keep making loot..a win win.
By Alcotholic Go To PostSo what's the status of this thread now? Where are we at?well i was having a nice conversation about dutch sandwiches but i guess we moved back to talking about GAF
By n8 dogg Go To PostHe comes across fucking TERRIBLY there. Terribly. Regardless whether we're going to play 'he said, she said', and we'll never know the truth between the two… not one iota of a conciliatory tone.Guess he just waited until he got some lawyer advice today...
Ugh.
By reilo Go To PostI can think believe he called it “misanthropy”…the nerve of this fucking nerd
MISANTHROPY!!!!!!!
GAMERGATE!!!!!!!
You'd be a fucking garbage pail if you continue to associate with this man.

Well now that we know he plans on continuing to run gaf I REALLY hope resetera does well and eats his lunch.
Holy fuck those quotes from EL are absolutely disgusting. What a shitbag. Peoples suspicions about his behavior in the that one thread earlier this month have been completely confirmed.
By Alcotholic Go To PostSo what's the status of this thread now? Where are we at?what do you mean?
no personal accountability is something i fucking DESPISE about trump and his administration, and EL just did the SAME fucking thing
By TheMikado Go To PostI thought the post was directed at friends not the general public.
There's nothing wrong with her naming him by the way, I'm not implying that.
It's the Internet, you say someone is semi famous and people are going to talk.
He should have stepped down, I don't think I can see myself returning to GAF after how terribly all of this has been handled.
People burn out on gaming side and make a home in OT all the time. The site will go to shit even faster without OT. It was a great one stop news aggregator and the community threads where great for the most part. I wonder of OT and community will set up shop on resetera now. Dude is a fucking idiot if thinks keeping control of the site will end well for him. Mods will be even worse now, nothing but boot licking yes men just watch.

What an awful response. The witch hunt comments are straight out of Trump's playbook. Yeah, I definitely won't be going back whenever it goes back up tonight.
