I'm personally fine continuing to post on GAF. I mean, I don't like what Evilore did but I go for the gaming and TV/Movie discussions. If he wants to shut down the political stuff that doesn't really bug me... and I honestly do feel it had infected the place a bit.
I just want to discuss Entertainment and nothing moves as fast as Neogaf when it comes to that. Of course, we'll see how it all shakes out in a couple days after all the account suicides are done. But I have a feeling the pace will be more or less the same even if some key members are gone.

By pulga Go To Postyour whole character arc has been something to behold alright lolCrap it's a tragedy isn't it?
By Kotto Go To PostEL literally did everything he could wrong in this situation. Though, this explains some of the shit he would do in some threads when people made harmless jokes about him and what how he managed shitstorms like GG. And it all came falling down because he wanted to be a selfish fuck boy and take away OT and keep himself as the owner. I'm going to be missing BCT and the weekly Trump threads from that place. : (The best avatar on GAF is here.
Also pretty funny how the ones who stayed behind are still posting like shit didn't happen lol
By Thunder Monkey Go To PostI've been at the birth of a few sites.
Xbox365, Nintendo Nsider.
It's fun, it may not last forever, and there's no guarantee it doesn't go completely tits up, but being a part of the growth of something is as close to parenthood as I'll ever get.
Anyone that knows me at GAF knows I'm a nice person, sometimes insightful, other times barely coherent. I've got a lot of feels bubbling right now, and it's making the brain worms itch. So I'm gonna stop typing now.
Not to drive the point home further, but GAF was 18. It's like you thought you raised it right all these years, you thought you knew one another and then this awful news comes out and you gotta disown them.
By John Rabbit Go To PostTotally understandable. I'm happy to share what's going on in the Discord with people who can't get in since the information flow isn't real transparent right now. Unless you hear it from someone who's in the Discord, I wouldn't trust anything you read.Thanks for keeping me (and others) in the loop.

Lol!
SNES mini has been pretty time consuming, especially after modding it. Haven't even touched Evil Within 2 and probably wont Wolfy 2 for a bit either.
By Angelus Errare Go To PostPlay Warframe guys, it's fun.You play on PC? Did they ever improve controller support?
By John Rabbit Go To PostThe best avatar on GAF is here.Ayy, you know wassup
All these sad sacks that "just want to talk about games" should surely realize that the level of discussion (by any and every possible metric) they were used to getting on the site is gone forever. Yet there they are showing ass for less than nothing.
By Angelus Errare Go To PostThe fact the very first thing he does is shit on the woman, character assassinates her and brings up mental illness is all the proof one needs. Like if you're truly innocent and have done nothing wrong why would your first instinct be to say such things about someone, ontop of stories about sex cults or whatever when all someone asked you is "did you do it".
Evilore didn't write that article. Waypoint did. Patrick Klepek did. He or his editor organized the piece and published it in the format they wanted with the narrative they desired. The Way point piece has a narrative that you can't blame on Evilore or his victim.
By Frecklestein Go To PostNot to drive the point home further, but GAF was 18. It's like you thought you raised it right all these years, you thought you knew one another and then this awful news comes out and you gotta disown them.In this scenario I'm the stepfather/mother?
I'm like "I got here when he was half grown. It's on you!"
By John Rabbit Go To PostYou play on PC? Did they ever improve controller support?
Yea I play on PC but I'm not sure on the controller support. I imagine they took the 360/One controller setup full stop and dumped it into the PC version, wouldn't be hard to do.
The site is just lost. People are arguing just because she had a physical relationship with Tyler after the incident, it absolves him of all wrong.
Some dumbass mofos out there.

So who is doing the moderating right now for GAF? Can't be himself since he always came of as dude who hated hard work.
By Frecklestein Go To PostKinda in the same boat. No clue about previous problems. OT and to a lesser extent, Gaming, had taught me a lot. Helped with fine tuning a lot of view points I already had, gave me some new ones and converted me on others. This was done with modding as bad as it was. If more discourse was allowed, I'd be curious to know just how much more I would have picked up on.It was certainly a case for me of "came for the gaming side, stayed for the OT." It was funny how it went from 100% gaming 0% OT when I found out about GAF to 90% OT, 10% gaming by the end. I was always going to lurk the gaming side for info on new games that I was interested in, but the OT really felt like a hangout to break up the work day and find those informative news stories/discussions. Hope resetera works out.
It's a shame. Even after I was banned, it was still a good read. Less and less as time went on, but there were some great threads and gems of discussion in there. Shame it's gone. It was such a habit to just scroll front pages for anything that'd catch my eye. The site being dead to be now was like losing a friend in a weird way, and it's just made it so awkward for the group of friends to stick together. It'll never be the same, but I hope a lot of good can be salvaged from this and I'll get proven wrong on the "never be the same" line.
Ah well

I can take out the waypoint article and simply read Evilore's "statement" on the entire thing and arrive at the exact same conclusion and those are all his words.
By DerZuhälter Go To PostSo who is doing the moderating right now for GAF? Can't be himself since he always came of as dude who hated hard work.
The two system admins Tinnus and Grumph, plus Lore.
By Sblargh Go To PostGAF taught me how to love and then six months later, how to hate wrestling.
Unfortunately the hate wrestling part will happen on any internet wrestling community. It’s just how we roll.
By DerZuhälter Go To PostSo who is doing the moderating right now for GAF? Can't be himself since he always came of as dude who hated hard work.I'd guess the semi popular lap dogs in that thread are the first suspects. You had to get in contact with Evilore during the crisis to get up there anyways.
By Angelus Errare Go To PostYea I play on PC but I'm not sure on the controller support. I imagine they took the 360/One controller setup full stop and dumped it into the PC version, wouldn't be hard to do.They had it in...2015(?) when I last played, but the mapping was all weird and navigating menus was inconsistent. Every time they do a big update I think about giving it another go.

I still found my way into tech and Nintendo threads, but by the last year I was like 90% OT.

That's also how he laid out his explanation to the mods which was leaked. Which he wrote himself.

Ah, I'll check out the controller options tomorrow and let you know. Yea the latest update Plains of Eidolon has been pretty dope 14km^2 open play space. An actual world boss type create that takes time to kill without ever feeling cheap, hopefully they continue to add to it.

I'm just not convinced that's the case at all. It'll take a couple days for all the account suicide posts to go away, but I think it should stabilize by the weekend. Even if it loses a few hundred users it's still going to be the fastest moving gaming forum out there. And I don't think people who want to continue to post there, like me, are bad or somehow accepting of whatever Evilore did. I can just separate the two things. Yeah technically he's benefiting off my visit. But I also pay taxes that go to Trump and end up getting misused. And I've also worked for shitty bosses I hated that grossly underpaid me for my efforts. Life goes on and discussing stuff on GAF is something I enjoy in life that I don't care to get rid of.
By Chesskid1 Go To Postim off to sleep as well. will be really interesting to see how traffic will be tomorrow, there's already a big event tomorrow (animal crossing direct) so we'll find out real quickIf Reset Era and/or Slaent manage to get their gaming sections up before Mario/AC/WNO (Aka Videogame D-day) Gaf will be dead forever.
If they don't, some people will just not resist the hype.

He or his editor organized the piece and published it in the format they wanted with the narrative they desired. The Way point piece has a narrative that you can't blame on Evilore or his victim.Angelus isn't talking about the article. He is talking about the sorry excuse of statement that Malka posted on gaf. He literally throws her under the bus and acts like it wasn't his fault, when it's obvious that wasn't the case. We aren't talking about some saint here, we are talking about someone that grabbed other woman's ass as a power move 5 years go, not my words. His. Malka isn't just a scumbag, he is literally as much of a piece of shit as Trump or Weinstein.
How much shit could have been avoided in just not putting forth some narrative about being such a raging worldly playboy and questioning the victim's mental illness.

No more red names and they utilize modbot. So you can't really tell which of the old mods are actually still there or not apart from that list that circulated of the ones who quit/were banned.

I may have moments of incoherence, but that was some delusional shit he wrote. To think anyone would read it and go "Okay." is nuts. Narcissistic as hell.
