By Epsilon-delta Go To PostI wonder what the og mods are thinking about this like sp0rsk.
He posted about it a bit on Twitter. He's @sprsk.
Apparently Tyler demodded him back in the day for not liking the new forum layout.
By Xpike Go To Posti can tell you footy slaent was born out of a deep indifference to The Order 1886also an incident where a man wore headphones in a club while dancing.
So this is where people are heading to
Not gonna lie, I will miss NeoGAF. I hardly posted but I loved how I could go from deep analysis of Japanese video games to intricacies of Catalonian politics to live Nintendo Direct reactions to mega threads about the Olympic Games within a few clicks. GAF was a regular ritual to catch up on what was going on the in gaming and wider worlds. It'll never be the same but hopefully most of the communities can rebuild here and elsewhere. But that sort of cross fertilisation between tangential topics is probably gone forever. :(

There are dozens of us. DOZENS!

Imagine if Odd had never broken NDA š
By Fenderputty Go To PostHow are most people finding this place? If I had not known some of the NBA people before hand and been posting here I would be stranded right now. I can't stand reddit.
When I was trying to dig around getting information on what happened and that led me to Sunhi's Twitter, in which I saw a tweet telling Sunhi to keep posting here. Then I thought, "if Sunhi is here, this place must be lit".
By GooseSe7en Go To PostDarn right I'm far right on immigration issues. We can disagree and discuss or stay out of each other's way. Pretty simple to me.
I donāt agree with you but I do think it may be better for you guys to stay out of each otherās way, As people migrate over we want to build a sense of community even if we have differences of opinion. Or at the very least be respectful to one another.
By Watershed Go To PostIs this a good place to ask for new user help? I can't find a user profile page or a way to change my avatar. Any help?
Also is this place much small than Gaf? I don't see as many individual threads about news and specific games. Are megathreads more the norm?
Tap on your pic and it'll bring ya to a control panel.
As for the games, yeah, there's been less active discussion for a lot of smaller titles, but with more eyeballs you could post an OT or two and it'll be fine I imagine.
I am currently trying to see inf any of my old IRC channels for MLB -GAF and NFL-GAF work. So far zip...
By FreezePeach Go To Postman, 503 for hours now.It's dead.
By FreezePeach Go To Postman, 503 for hours now.Yeah I think it's intentionally down at this point. The 503 loads almost instantly instead of loading eventually.
By PacinoMan Go To PostIs that the real Angelus?
in the flesh.
By JehutyRunner Go To PostThere are dozens of us. DOZENS!
Still one of the few WRPG world's worth exploring.
poli thread for that stuff
cross thread harassment is a no go, and if there's an issue myself and the other mods will gladly work with you on issues as best we can (except nazi apologist shit, or trying to organize any criminal activity - ain't trying to hear it)
but like.... this isn't gaf. a lot of people from gaf are here, but this isn't gaf.

By hasanahmad Go To PostMachado ?
The dude trying to escape Venezuela. Tbh I stopped checking the thread after he kept getting more and more setbacks....got depressing. Really hope some of the gaffers there helping him can keep in contact.
By HylianSeven Go To PostYeah I think it's intentionally down at this point. The 503 loads almost instantly instead of loading eventually.Yeah definitely, probably shutting the site down to see if he can sell it to anyone
By Yharnam Go To PostHe posted about it a bit on Twitter. He's @sprsk.Yea, I remember when that went down. sp0rsk basically thought the redesign was trash lol.

By FreezePeach Go To Postman, 503 for hours now.It's sad... a 503/502 on GAF used to have me checking Twitter/Kotaku/etc. in excitement because some big news brought the site down.
This 503 is the bagpipes at a funeral.
By HylianSeven Go To PostYeah I think it's intentionally down at this point. The 503 loads almost instantly instead of loading eventually.
It even looks different, I think. The font/font size and formatting and all that. I've seen the GAF 503 page countless times, but this looks...fake.
I've been there for years.
This is insanely fucked up. Like legit "What the fuck?!" Hypocritical pieces of shit do so much damage to good causes by being hypocritical, evil pieces of shit.
Sorry for the language. It's just all around fucked. Also hey to anyone I haven't met. And hey to the transplants.

By FreezePeach Go To Postman, 503 for hours now.Don't see how it comes back really
If it does, it'll be an absolute mess of new threads just prodding at Evilore. Plus the logistics, there must be like 3 staff left trying to suppress a barrage of shitposts, dodge legitimate questions and promote anything that makes the site seem like it has a future
The site is surely too big for that now. Especially as there will be thousands of dormant accounts logging in for the first time in months to get involved
By GooseSe7en Go To PostDarn right I'm far right on immigration issues. We can disagree and discuss or stay out of each other's way. Pretty simple to me.Congrats on being the first post-GAF slaying.
The problem with people like you is you espouse views that are overtly hostile to other community members, simply because they belong to certain demographics. It's not just another political view equal to any other. It's anathema to an inclusive community. Sometimes political views are just views, other times they are a problem if they are hateful enough like yours. That's in your control, and that's on you, and you will forever get rebuked for it and cry about it whenever you're not beating your chest about libs getting offended/triggered.
By FreezePeach Go To Postman, 503 for hours now.It's dead, Jim.
I have to say in the fallout of this event- I think it might be healthy for me to not be focused so much on an internet community. I have pretty much dropped social media, I mean, I have a Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, but I never use them. But Gaf was a place I spent hours in. While I wasnāt that prolific in the community and mainly wrote short and unprofound posts, it was nice to be a part of. But itās time for a break, I think.
Iāll figure it out, I guess.

I wouldve been still in the fridge for about 2.5 years
Today wouldve been an immense day to me tho

Thanks for this. I should be able to voice my opinion whether folks like it or not without fear of getting banned. I'll miss the gaming discussions for sure, and one of my fav threads, Giantbomb e3@Nite were soooo good.
By Xpike Go To PostYeah definitely, probably shutting the site down to see if he can sell it to anyone
I think it's now too late for that. He had claimed a long time ago that he had offers for him to sell the site (7 figure offers). He declined them. I bet he's kicking himself now.

Statement isn't gonna write itself..
"Virtue Signalling" of course is a pretty red flag term given who it's predominantly used by, but it was definitely done on GAF by the likes of Amirox, Lore and some others. If one needs a better term, there's "performative allyship."
By Megatherium Go To PostCongrats on being the first post-GAF slaying.i know you guys can go all day on this, but please

By FlutterPuffs Go To PostEvilore could have done the right thing, stepped down and let the site live.
What a dumbass.
Isn't the web site his main source of income?
By Hitch Go To PostWhy did Amy Hennig get sacked?Haha I have no idea. She's a sweet person from the brief moment I met her there. Signed my copies of uncharted too. I did get the scoop on the last of us before it was revealed.
