By DY_nasty Go To Postoh shit! whats up man
you know i can never show my face on realgm anymore after 3 years of hating on kemba and stanning biyombo
but seriously i just lost my password after moving for work lol. i still lurk hard and heavy and mkg is untouchable. LoJ, the mods there, even catch are good people. love yal but making a new account just wouldn't even feel right
NP, maybe you can recover your password somehow. I was directed here from twitter from the GAF drama. I need my gaming news. Cool to see its a sports community also.
+1 on that GAF discord link whenever it stabilizes or whatever.
By reilo Go To PostMy man's can't even spell my username right, but I still love you with all my heart DV.Shit man my bad. I was irritated and typing too fast. :(
By SillyNonsense Go To PostGive this forum a dark theme, make individual posts more easily differentiated from each other, split ENT into two subforums (one for games exclusively) and add a "Who quoted me" function and we're GOLDEN. I know I can search my username right now to see quotes but it has no functionality to actually take me to that post and reply to it, so not so great.There is a dark theme, though.
By hasanahmad Go To PostGaf ex-pat. It is good the forum is over. It used to be an amazing place for OT and video game discussions then something changed around 2010 timeframe. And no it wasn’t gamergate but there was a level of toxicity which you could feel. There were some folks rightfully banned for hate but too many folks started to get banned over a joke or a differing opinion. People got banned for calling it incorrectly a hive mind but the reason given was don’t question the hive mind. People became too sensitive. Outrage culture cultivated on every post. People sniped at each other at everything that moved was a questioned . There were so many folks banned that the place spoke in one cohesion and died in one cohesion, full of misdirectionsppl said shit, they got banned. they lost friends over it. for years this was the mo
Tyler Malka posted his shenanigans and no one said anything then , no mods quit then and everyone stayed quiet. I only found out after my banning for a statement which didn’t hate or joke or anything, it was correcting misinformation without any bad intent. Anyway all the mods knew and they did nothing and only went off the cliff because of Weinstein . To me the mods were all like the actresses and actors who knew what Weinstein was doing and did and said nothing, didn’t quit and kept getting paid, kept getting roles and only now when all is exposed they said oh that’s bad I’m now outraged. I hope this exodus and Neogaf being basically done for serves a lesson . Don’t tolerate stuff you know happened and deal with it right there and then .
"no one said anything" isn't true at all. its very neat to assume and believe but its just not the case at all.
i mean cmon.... how many times have you heard of sites of demonic communities of banned gaf members, spreading their racist, homophobic, sexist views? lol. it is what it is. times are changing and its as good as time as any for many to move on or move forward. even some of the mods that stuck on as long as they did tried to fix situations from the inside, but that's not always feasible or practical
no real reason to lay people out like this imo
Here I am. I guess I was browsing Gaf earlier, completely oblivious to it falling apart, Shaun of the Dead style.
I think I'm mostly disappointed that there now aren't any big game sites free of racist and sexist bullshit. It was nice to have at least one bastion on the internet where you could talk about the latest games and not have to deal with Nazi trolls or GG sociopaths, even if it was frequently douchy and overbearing.
By JehutyRunner Go To PostHello, fellow GAFugees.I certainly feel like one. It will take a while to adjust.

It does have a dark theme I’m using it
By DasFool Go To PostHi it's me Evilore ready to sell you neogaf.com domain for a discount of $20,000 are you interestedlet me rub my dick on your back in the shower and u got a deal
By CXSN Go To PostI'm gonna miss it for sure.Welcome! hugs and shit
A scroll through the latest tweets about neogaf on Twitter was a quick reminder of how painfully annoying most other online communities can be.
At first I was kind of reeling from the loss, but I know there's already talks about a new site being created, and this place seems pretty dope so far, so I'm feeling a lot better about the outlook of a new place filling the role GAF used to.
By intheflorsh Go To PostI would also appreciate a link. Morbid curiosity.
By TheMikado Go To PostThis is exactly how I feel. No one is sympathetic to the Nazi Bullshit. But that doesn’t mean we can throw our laws out and go assaulting people either. I hope this forum allows you to openly have that opinion without getting banned.His rallies and speeches do incite violence though. People have died, been shot at, beaten up, etc.
And overall he advocates a violent, genocidal ideology.
By FreezePeach Go To PostSeriously im fucking pissed lore fucked this all up. There was a good thing there and he just fucked it, in the worst possible year you could.
this is how I feel.

There's a dark theme, I'm using it right now! (go to your control panel, there's a toggle there)
By FreezePeach Go To Postim using dark theme right now baby only way to flyyyy
I forgot there was anything else but a dark theme.
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostI forgot there was anything else but a dark theme.
There's a light theme?
By Angelus Errare Go To PostThere's a light theme?
Now we just need to fight over 50 or 100 postcount and it's home sweet home.
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostI forgot there was anything else but a dark theme.
So did I until Reilo did a screen cap of DY and I posting. How do you make this site and not use the dark theme?
By Randolph Freelander Go To Post#teamlightRandolph! Nice to see the familiar faces popping now. /you wont know me im starting fresh after 12 fucking years goddamn
By Ref_Fuji Go To PostBy then the site was getting hammered so couldnt get to admin group. JaseC was doing the admin update on Steamgaf and he said Stump was there….then he said he wasnt :( It was fickung surrealI bet. Never seen such an implosion in a short amount of time.
Hello, I guess this is the place for GAF refugees? I'm feeling pretty down right now, knowing that a decade+ of community and history have all vanished in the blink of an eye (even though I wasn't there very long myself).
If there's a Discord or some other way to keep in touch with people I'd like to know about it too.

Was a longtime lurker of GAF before getting an account and started posting. Usually kept to gaming side save for the occasional slice of life topic over in OT so this honestly came as a pretty big surprise to me. I didn't involve myself in and/or follow a lot of the interworkings or politics of the site. Silly or petty as it sounds I honestly didn't know where I'd spend my time at work (when I should be working) without GAF so finding this place and a new community to hang with is pretty rad. Hey, Slaent fam!
By Randolph Freelander Go To Post#teamlightGood to see you here.
By BDS Go To PostHello, I guess this is the place for GAF refugees? I'm feeling pretty down right now, knowing that a decade+ of community and history have all vanished in the blink of an eye (even though I wasn't there very long myself).DIscord keeps changing, dont know the central controller of that. Welcome!

GAF got to a point where you couldn’t express yourself freely in off topic without fear of a ban. The moderation can go fuck themselves to be honest. A singular hive mind devoid of any unique thought.
DY was joking about it, but literally everything was nazi this and nazi that. People were legitimately calling and rallying Anthony Fantano as a neo nazi the other day.
I joined GAF in 2008 and I’m sad to see it go, but at the same time... the site was dead in my eyes a few years back.

By Epsilon-delta Go To PostI bet. Never seen such an implosion in a short amount of time.
All of GAF blew upon in like hours. Completely nuts.
Anyone have discord link to poligaf, moviegaf, dcmovies gaf, Nolan gaf, pics that make you laugh gaf, Apple gaf, those are the only places I miss about gaf
By Dreams-Visions Go To Post+1 on that GAF discord link whenever it stabilizes or whatever.Same on this link as well when available!
By amcoolio Go To PostNP, maybe you can recover your password somehow. I was directed here from twitter from the GAF drama. I need my gaming news. Cool to see its a sports community also.gdlk kaminsky avatar
i am truly triggered
By Angelus Errare Go To PostI mean America DOES has a storied history of doing that to the black community (and they still do it).
Absolutely and there needs to be a shit ton of reform, but running around assaulting asshats in my opinion isn’t the way to solve institutional racism in a corrupt legal and political system. Probably not the thread for this either so I’ll lay off it but just glad I can express this opinion that violence isn’t always justified.
Thanks for the dark tips. Last time I was here I didn't see one and I didn't check again. So either it was added sometime after launch or I just missed it the first time and never gave it another look.
Wish I could cool it on this red, though. It looks flashy but red on dark backgrounds is actually not that easy to read at a glance. Color theme choices would be awesome.
Oh god if I missed that too I'm about to get nuked again. I better go check CP again.

By Cranster Go To PostNeogaf had no issues with opposing views, it was when those opposing views relied on false information from specific groups including the alt-right. Alot of people with right wing views could not understand that.One time I got railed on for saying that women don't go into STEM fields because girls have Barbies while boys have LEGO and video games, that women not going into these fieids is due to societal expectation issues. And that the shittiness towards women in those fields stem from the inherent boys club that comes from that.
The backlash from that post had me thinking, "am I in the wrong here, did I say something so awful?" NeoGAF is nowhere near as bad as Gamergaters would have you believe but it could certainly get pretty weird when it came to people not having the correct viewpoint.

It really hits you when you suddenly need to find somewhere else. Even the most mundane places have some weird stink that makes you sketchy.
By TBM Go To PostSame on this link as well when available!i needs the link as well
By FreezePeach Go To PostSeriously im fucking pissed lore fucked this all up. There was a good thing there and he just fucked it, in the worst possible year you could.mostly what i am feeling right now.
i kind of had an addiction to checking GAF like some do to facebook or whatever, so on the bright side (for me), hopefully that'll go away once all this dies down.
By Fenderputty Go To PostSo did I until Reilo did a screen cap of DY and I posting. How do you make this site and not use the dark theme?
I can't do dark. Dark web pages just don't look right to me, or really anything where the main display is on anything other than a white background. Plus, I frequently browse GAF (and now, I suppose, SL&ENT) at work, so dark themes just won't do.
By Randolph Freelander Go To Post#teamlightreilo ban this filth
Bruh can we drop giving shit about punching nazis in the mouth. I feel like if that's your priority, you already lost.
By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostI forgot there was anything else but a dark theme.
Hard truth. It should be the default tbh
By Uhyve Go To PostOne time I got railed on for saying that women don't go into STEM fields because girls have Barbies while boys have LEGO and video games, that societal norms are the reason for women not going into these fieids. And that the shittiness towards women in those fields stem from the inherent boys club that comes from that.good post. Im not on the full /fuckneogaf bandwagon some are but i recognize how warped shit became. Like i said, mood of the day, where the wind blowed determined bans. Not good in that respect.

Longtime GAF lurker and had been a member until I was banned. Nice to see familiar folks on here and hopefully folks can be civil and willing to actually engage, instead of taking potshots and being narrow minded.
Glad to see GAF burn to the ground, but hoping to see something good come out of this.

Does feel quite strange to know that tens of thousands of my posts will be gone imminently
Kinda grown to assume that everything I say online is there for good, and as sad as it is, I quite enjoy reading my old posts when somebody links an ancient thread I was in
Maybe it'll all be archived in easily searchable form, doubt it though
