By RumbleHumble Go To PostMissed you, man!
It's so nice to see familiar names. :) It's impossible to keep track of everyone I've already crossed paths with, but seeing somebody new always registers. That's one more piece of us all yanked from the darkness.
You know, we really are the last of us.
By Blizzard Go To PostApparently I have no choice but to turn this into a remix thread since nothing has happened in like 4 hours. Since I put effort into describing these, I'll link just the SFW post. *** WARNING THE REST OF THE THREAD IS NSFW **** http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=252790366&postcount=17
Oh man, I remember reading the thread referenced in Jsnake's tag way back when. I was older than him with none of the hustle and probably laughed at him trying to do what he loved, with the limited time he had. So sad. :(
By ned_ballad Go To PostI have seen the word “faggot” used three times on GAF over the last 12 hours :/
Never would have ever seen GAF going full alt right a week ago
Well, they realized that Malka is their kind of people, so . . .
I nuked my account last night. God, what a shitshow. Anyhoo, I’m happy to be here, thanks for having me.
can't believe there's a thread about how GAF will remain tolerant and respectful to women. You serious?

I'm sure I'm really late to this party, but since I'm just stopping in, what did you all think of Tyler's leaked rant to the mods staff about how his accuser is a psychopath cultist?
Talk about "getting mad online."

By ATTICUS H Go To PostBlizzard how the hell are you still there? Are you a hidden mod?Certainly not. I seem to be some sort of weird ghost, cursed to share music I like until the new mods finally ban me. At least I helped a couple of people learn the JSnake news, and maybe somebody will enjoy the music.
I do wonder if Evilore or an old mod was the only one on last night, and the fact that the thread was created by JSnake made them figure it was safe to skip glancing at.
Can someone post what details we know for sure in terms of signing up for Reset?
Sounds like for people who were pretty new to GAF we just need to sign up regularly and hope we get approved?

Sad that it had to go out like this. I've been there since around 2002. Curious how things will shake out here and with ResetERA.
By The Anti-Monitor Go To PostI had been posting less and less for months and openly criticising EviLore and that one weird alien-like mod who hung out at GirlGaf.
It was bound to happen. At least I got to laugh a bit today when I read the news of a certain Tyler Malka keeping on with his uber-alphaness.
Damn, I remember reading about some of that stuff when you got nuked. He's had such a long history of being a weird creepy fuck, it's pretty insane how much he managed to sweep all these things under the rug.
By Meus Renaissance Go To PostI don't want to seem like a moral knight here, but people posting profanity in account suicides are doing themselves no justice. If you don't want to be a member of the forum, just politely ask for your account to be banned and deleted, or better yet, don't post there at all. The negativity so far has been on Malka himself, but for outsiders who are now browsing the forum, they're being met with some embarrassing and offensive posts designed to provoke.
The community should moderate itself when it comes to times like this, IMO.
Lots of folks are heartbroken.
Hurt people hurt people.

I was a youngling back then but how could I forget the shade posts you used to put on EL. After your ban and the first locking of BCT I greatly scaled back my use of the forum outside of OTs.
Just sad this marks my 2nd forum with owner fuckery.
I keep opening GAF and popping my head through the door. Largely for the same impulse why people slow down to look at car crashes.
It's just a depressing shell. Even the regular threads that are passing through about gaming I'm reading and just thinking "ugh". It just feels scummy as fuck. I keep toying with the idea of an account suicide but can't even be arsed to do that.

By Tence Go To PostYeah I remember that. I always liked you as a poster and person though on GAF, so I was sad when you got banned. So it is pretty cool to meet you again.Goodie. I liked your drawings
By lovingsteam Go To PostHey AM! Long time! Hope all is well.All's great, been busy but in the best ways. This meltdown is hugely entertaining.
I just listened to the WayPoint podcast about GAF. Great discussion, I love hearing from Patrick, Austin and Danielle. I didn't really know too much about the history of NeoGAF with Gaming-Age, seems like it started as something really cool and unfortunately became garbage.
Just cuss him out directly you will get banned.
My “fat lad” jibe in the title got me banned and thread deleted in seconds lol

By Barzul Go To PostIf you get banned does it scrape all your post history as well? Going to ask for a perma.
Very rarely do they delete all your posts. I've only seen it happen like a few times.
As someone who's been through a similar situation at the hands of an abuser this absolutely sucks. NeoGaf has always impressed me as a fairly socially progressive site, and I never felt alienated in the community as a woman until now. I've been lurking around on NeoGaf since around 2015 and to hear that the man who runs the site is exactly the same as the person who hurt me is honestly so disheartening. I had only recently worked up enough nerve to actually create an account on the site and now I'm vehemently avoiding it. Honestly, fuck EvilLore he deserves the worst. My heart goes out to the survivor and honestly, I hope that this is the impetus for people to actually take a step and help survivors of sexual abuse, domestic violence and so on.
By Finale Fireworker Go To PostIt was a really hard downfall. I was one of those members that was always on the forum and nearly all my online interaction took place there. No more social media, only light usage on reddit, and Twitter for emergencies. When I saw the writing on the wall and realized what was going to happen, I desperately started messaging other members to maintain contact. There were so many people I saw every single day - faces in the form of avatars - and the thought of never seeing them again fucked me right up. I took GAF for granted.
I sent PMs to people I never even spoke directly to before. But when faced with losing them, suddenly everyone was family. I'm glad I did that because it helped a lot of us network and connect after the site went down for good. We got into the ResetEra Discord and have been doing digital disaster relief ever since.
I am trying not to admit how tough it was for me to lose the forum. It was really, really important to me. It had plenty of problems and there were ways I wished the forum was better, but it was the best community I was ever part of. I miss it dearly already. But I'm focusing on what's next. If we all move forward together, there will be nothing to miss.
It has the benefit of community enthusiasm, at least. But in that same way we are also vulnerable. Cerium and Co could ask for crowdfunding through Patreon or something to support the site, and hundreds of people would do it, but there's still no guarantee the site will survive. We will have the benefit of starting smaller - we won't be 100,000 people overnight. My hope is that they're taking the responsibility of running the site seriously. If we are aware of these concerns, hopefully they are too.
Pls don't fan my ego and make me cry at the same time. I am vulnerable.
Yo, Finale. Just want to say I always appreciated your posts, so well-thought out and written. Cheers.
By Papercuts Go To PostDamn, I remember reading about some of that stuff when you got nuked.

Just rip the band-aid off. I felt better after suiciding, knowing that I've irrevocably severed my tie to the site. Going back now (and seeing the light theme), it's like looking in on a little alien world. Plus, you can choose how to go out on your own terms -- I died as I lived, posting Simpsons gifs.

It seems like the first wave of invites will go out to people in Community discord servers who are verified. I would try to not get banned from GAF until you get verified.
Haven't heard what they're doing beyond that.

By hasanahmad Go To PostThis is years of egg shell walkingThis isn't why people are suiciding. It's not pent up anger, it's just outright anger at Evilore for being a sexual assaulter and bringing a ton of people's social circles crashing down because he just had to be a creepy person. And then his responses to this whole ordeal were insulting, blaming OT, purging OT, lying about why the mods left, blaming the victim, and basically turning into the very thing Gaf was strongly against.

The evilore part is a catalyst, but see the other open discussions, there is no fear of hive mind mentality anymore
Goddamn, it is surreal (for a lot of reasons) to see Dudebro MSIFUSIHTS/SY2 making a statement about removing all references to GAF.

So it's hive mind to be against shit posts or dumb opinions. Gotcha.
By hasanahmad Go To PostWhat happened to Kisaya she was a user on Neogaf and used to be buddies with evilore
Eeeh. I don't want to say shit I am not 100% about, but pretty sure he hit on her as well after they met up a few times, which she rejected and he got at least pissy at her on the forum/irc and wherever they were hanging out. So best buddies, not exactly. Not sure if she is still with Sai, but they were together for a while. I was tinychat regular with that crowd, where Evilore came in a few times as well.
She is on twitter but i think she locked it down as private.
By hasanahmad Go To PostThe evilore part is a catalyst, but see the other open discussions, there is no fear of hive mind mentality anymoreWhat are you talking about?
By Barzul Go To PostI just really hate I lost PoliGAF over that idiot.Most people in PoliGAF were openly upset about when what he did happens to folks, so they will be the last people he wants back :/

By black faust Go To PostSo it's hive mind to be against shit posts or dumb opinions. Gotcha.
No the hive mind mentality was to get outraged at everything that moved and talked if it didn’t conform to an inch within their world view.
Also those talking normally on GAF RIGHT now are pure enablers and supporters of evilore actions they cannot be this aloof or stupid

Not exactly.
People are protesting Evilore, not the mods or the forum culture. People liked GAF a lot, even with its problems, and it's an incredible personal pain for people to realize their home has been forsaken by its admin. He let everyone suffer to protect his ego. He lied to everyone. Our content and our ad hits made him incredibly rich, and even when this story came out, people like me still thought he would do what was right for the forum. We couldn't believe he would value his own well-being over everything we'd created. But I guess self-preservation is the primary interest of every animal. Evilore locked the doors and burned us alive.
What we are seeing now are the phantoms of the people Evilore abandoned. Back from the dead, only briefly, to remind him of his failures. But you can't ban the memories - may them haunt him forever.
By Necronomicon Go To PostMost people in PoliGAF were openly upset about when what he did happens to folks, so they will be the last people he wants back :/PoliGAF were some of the first to account suicide.
I just hope we all (or as many as possible) from that thread end up at the same place, somewhere. Here, or era. Doesn't matter. I liked those people, even if some were annoying at times.
