By Andodalf Go To PostHow do you pronounce Slaent?
Slent. I don't want it to rhyme with taint
Whoever called the heel turn earlier in the thread was right on the money. GAF and EL will probably become a haven for everything it once stood against. Especially since they all pretty much see women in a similar way anyway.
Anyone who followed that 2012 travelogue should've seen within minutes how badly that dude was posturing to make up for perceived shortcomings. Anyone remember his thread about going to Thailand to study Muay Thai?
By reilo Go To PostAs mentioned before, none of us running SLAENT care where you post on the internet. You are all free to post here and become members of an inclusive community. If you choose to go back to GAF after reading that article, well, that’s your prerogative but that response was eye opening in ways even I didn’t think would get to.If I was to be extraordinarily kind, I would suggest that the years of sycophantic worship, gamergate attacks and a false sense of importance through the influence of the site has rendered Malka completely incapable of seeing any narrative in which he isn't the central figure and hero. All women are interested in him, and will become aggressive if he demures; attacks are not just about his actions but about society as whole, and concerns about his management are simply attempts to tarnish his good name.
Perhaps coming into the kind of social and monetary power he did has rendered him a literal manchild.
But I'm not feeling extraordinarily kind so its more likely that he's just a cunt.
By Not Go To PostSlent. I don't want it to rhyme with taintive always said sla-ent
From everything you all said about the dude, I can't even sit here and act shocked. Fucking terrible.
By nieuwevolger Go To PostHow the hell can he bring neogaf with that repuation and without mods. It probably ends up being one of the most legendary moments of the internet.I can't imagine it will die off by it will never be the go to place for gaming discussion like it once was. It sheer amount of posters is something that won't be replicated by Gaf or ResetAge, at least not for many years.
So many communities are gonna die off because of one guy.
By Papercuts Go To PostGoing back to gaf just to round people up and go elsewhere seems like the best option but I wonder if that will even be allowed. Jesus.I guarantee any posts like that will result in a SWIFT permaban after this article. He's *delusional*.
yeah evilore's statements about this are deplorable. what a piece of shit. "she totally wanted it and now she's lying. also she has mental issues."
By RoyalJCC Go To PostSo anything new on ResetEra? Or EL statement?You’re in for a treat. Waypoint has the latest.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostHe wasn't going to ever step down or even let mods dictate policy and be more transparent. That was gaf's problem. It could never find its footing because the mods wanted one thing and then you had the contradictory often hypocritical mess of an owner.For sure. Hopefully Resetera will be a success so there's actually a chance that the kind of environment we were able to foster on NeoGAF can come back in a better form.
How much of his statements are coked fueled paranoia do you think? Bet the woman totally wanted to take down GAF. Totes her prerogative.
He called Leupp "a deeply disturbed, malicious individual,"Says the guy caught posting revenge porn, grabbing random asses and sexually assaulting sick women in showers.
What an utter scumbag. Christ.
Oh no, just got notified of a card upgrade and realized that the Credit Card/Finance thread is gone.
Helped me immensely in a meteoric 12 months rise in score.

OT wasn't the best part of NeoGAF, there were some ok OT Community threads but OT has gotten worse over the last several years to the point where it was mostly trash imo.
By John Rabbit Go To PostAnyone who followed that 2012 travelogue should've seen within minutes how badly that dude was posturing to make up for perceived shortcomings. Anyone remember his thread about going to Thailand to study Muay Thai?
There's a reason he deleted that thread, and would nuke anyone that brought up stuff like him getting scammed in Turkey.
By ned_ballad Go To PostReading that article, it seems like most of the site’s problems were from Evilore
Like I said on the day it happened. GAF was a success despite EL, not because of him.
By recon_zero Go To Posthttps://twitter.com/mombot/status/922248959636074496I'm blocked. What does it say?
They don't get it
Who would even join the rebooted GAF? I'd say GGers that'd want to muck the place up but who knows what the registration process will be like.
My only guess would be the "wait for the facts' folks or just those who generally don't care about women/sexual assault. The latter's probably more than I think, sadly, but with how many walked out...

There are lesser examples of this (which if the GAF forums were working I could look up again and recall the details) where things as petty as negative video game review by Anita Sarkeesian turned a person completely "alt-right". I can't imagine the levels of cognitive dissonance that EL is going through right now, clearly lacking the maturity to deal with any of it. He will become the thing that GAF strove to fight against. Damn, what a shitfest.

Haha, does he really expect people to pretend nothing happened and post on gaf? I just can’t wait for the suicide threads when the site opens.
By ned_ballad Go To PostReading that article, it seems like most of the site’s problems were from EviloreWell yeah at some point the site was just curated around the dude's ego. Slide glibly into threads, dictate "reality" for folks then get pressed or mad when he was contradicted. Best was when mods had to shake him down about his opinions on bullying fat people. Couldn't perm them.
By caramac Go To PostOT wasn't the best part of NeoGAF, there were some ok OT Community threads but OT has gotten worse over the last several years to the point where it was mostly trash imo.
I'd say the level of discussion took a downturn as you said, but it was still my go to source to do a quick glance to see if there was any news worth talking about. Reddit is just too massive for that sort of thing.
So he put's it back up, game focused, and it gets taken over by the more right-leaning crowd, plus whoever he can get to join his sycophantic band of mods who won't dare let this get discussed on there.
How long til he shakes the current President's hand?

Just trash all around.
By Pastry Go To PostLike I said on the day it happened. GAF was a success despite EL, not because of him.He pretty much never even posted, aside from from a post here or there, it was like he barely existed on the site. I think the most I saw him do on the ten years I've been on Gaf was just earlier this month when he went berserk and banned multiple prominent users for no reason. That shit was whack and I bet all the mods knew it, too.

why do people see this happening?
did I miss something

PMs unless he goes full gestapo.
So whats the over under on GAF becoming a nice new home for a bunch of GGs and other similar trolls. His statements towards his victim are right up their alley.
By Apollo Go To PostRead EL's quotes in Trump's voice
It's funny because I said it's possible they are actually the same person! I mean the guy is literally calling her story Fake News..
Yeah shit reply. Bring the site back up if you want to dude. We will just use the threads to spread the word about Slaent and the new ResetERA and coordinate the communities movements to other places.
Dudes a garbage person. Not entirely surprising he’d double down and play the victim card but still what a sad wretched little person he is.
By Mr. Blue Sky Go To PostSo whats the over under on GAF becoming a nice new home for a bunch of GGs and other similar trolls. His statements towards his victim are right up their alley.
I'd take that bet. He has to make up the clicks and ad revenue somewhere and that's the perfect demographic.
By Fenderputty Go To PostI'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.Same here. Got a hard time believing no one knew anything. I know it couldn't be Evilore personally deleting and locking all those apparent past threads with questions about his behaviour. If I were a mod when banning of that stuff were official policy, I'd certainly have questions and think about making a decision pretty fast on where I stood.
By ned_ballad Go To PostReading that article, it seems like most of the site’s problems were from EviloreCan someone link to the article? Scanning this forum isn’t helping. I’m trying to find it.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostOne former mod turned out to possess child porn and was arrested.There was also a mod that harassed one of the users until she had to quit to get it to stop. She was an amazing poster, and that mod was garbage. I really disliked that old mods are in power on the site, as they were largely part of the problem.
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.
By Not Go To PostResetEra's gonna be the same ol' shitWe're leaving his ass behind. We don't need to keep that discussion going. At most there will probably be a thread.
Mods didn't know about lore fairly sure (the recent shit) but they sure as fuck stayed during the Amirox shit and cleaned up any transparency about harboring a fucking child porn enthusiast on site who was a former mod. A site with MINORS.
By Haz Go To PostPatrick with some amazing reporting. Surprising to no one, Evilore is a dick.

Same.
By recon_zero Go To Posthttps://twitter.com/mombot/status/922248959636074496I would understand this a week after the event happened if things didn't cool down. Also comments that are along of the lines of "Fuck evilore".
They don't get it
Maybe I'm missing something though. I understand the topic could be sensitive to those who have experienced sexual assault. Or I guess there isn't anything to discuss regarding the subject.
