By Soul of Miyazaki Go To PostYeah okay the dark theme is way, way better
I've been on it so long I forgot it wasn't default.
Reilo fix plz.
By Scratches Go To PostHe banned several users from BoxOfficeGAF but it was on a thread talking about Andy Signore (ScreenJunkies) being accused of sexual harrasment. He went bananas, banning 10+ users in less than an hour.Went from just knowing him as the owner of GAF a week ago to the human garbage that used revenge porn, had the incident in Spain and cover up, the lies about what he knew in regards to the pedophile and the cover up and the most recent sexual assault allegation (and the hilariously pathetic attempt to just sweep it under the rug). Multiple incidents of just simple "misunderstandings" and then trying to hide the facts of these incidents and making it up as you go along, that clearly screams "innocent" to me.
A large amount of equal Mods means it is less likely that one bad apple will affect all of it.
The person can be removed and replaced without too much of an issue, because there are enough other Mods around to counter them

As someone else said, those are good posters but I'm not sure if they'll be good mods, got to give them a chance though. I mean can anyone really picture Durante laying down a banhammer? I can't, he's too nice.
By Too rich Go To PostSlayven? As a mod? That's just too fucked up I have to watch it.I could see him going overboard. It's good to depend a lot on context though. Some things seem the same without it, but aren't.
He had a bizarre view of sexuality that he tried to impose on everyone and he never gave up. And it wasn't even consistent. Women showing cleavage with a buckle bustier? That's clearly an empowered women who represents the ideal in feminism.
Cleavage with a zipper opening? That's clearly a invitation for rape and was designed by a misogynist.
And he would argue that for 30 pages with not a single person agreeing or understanding what he was going on about.
Shinobi602 - I'm sure he stated he left 'cause he felt the Gaming Side was becoming too toxic.
ZhugeEX - Not sure what happened w/his ban, though?

By mos6142 Go To PostMatt is a mod, oh fuck offWhat's wrong with Matt? I always liked him, mostly knew him as an insider during the NX speculation days.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostClick on your avatar on the top. Also can change to superior dark theme.Thank you and the other poster who responded. Much appreciated.
By Surface of Me Go To PostThat said, I hope the team there knows it shouldn't be their little club/echo chamber.
IMO, that'll be key to the site's success or lack thereof. If it starts to resemble an echo chamber, it'll fail. While there should be a zero tolerance policy for harassment, GAF was way too ban happy for my liking and that had a chilling effect on discussion.
By Surface of Me Go To PostShe had some strange view points herself. The whole James Cameron commenting on WW thread comes to mind.Good example. That was weird. Overall she was a huge asset to the forum. And yeah, agreed.
That said, I hope the team there knows it shouldn't be their little club/echo chamber.
By m_shortpants Go To PostJesus, some of EL's posts that are cropping up border on the line of delusion. I can't even tell if they're supposed to be satire or not, but given how everything has unfolded with him they are dead serious, which makes it all the more funny."Better cardio than Bruce Lee"
He really has a high opinion of himself, huh?
By Not Go To PostMorrigan Stark was surrounded by genuine sexists all the time. As we're seeing now. She called every single damn one of them out and a bunch of dudes hated her for it.
I'm fine with her calling out assholes, but on the games side she fit right in with gaf's elitist dark souls fanbase.
By Rowsdower Go To PostWhat's wrong with Matt? I always liked him, mostly knew him as an insider during the NX speculation days.he is a buzzkill in every xbox thread, people are just messing about with hype train and shit, then he comes in like Hermione to "sort everyone out"
Is the 8 inches him describing the height difference but wording it so it sounds like it's about his dick?
By Lloyd Go To PostZhugeEX - Not sure what happened w/his ban, though?
No one knows. I remember in the thread when he was banned. A bunch of posters where confused as to why he was banned and asking why, then a mod came in and said he was banned for something unrelated, but didn't disclose what it was.
By Addi Go To PostIs the 8 inches him describing the height difference but wording it so it sounds like it's about his dick?
I think you know the answer to that.
By Gordon Shumway Go To Post"I LOVE Carol Danv.."I don't like Carol's current run, but I'm dying for her to get saved by Marvel Studios. Why he hates Carol Danvers so much? This hasn't been the first time I've read that and never understood why.
BANNED!
By Lloyd Go To PostShinobi602 - I'm sure he stated he left 'cause he felt the Gaming Side was becoming too toxic.
ZhugeEX - Not sure what happened w/his ban, though?
Zhuge made a wrong prediction, so he was banned.
Anyone know what happened to the mod More-Badass? I always enjoyed his passion for indies or niche games and he was a very driven poster.
By Surface of Me Go To PostI'm surprised to see RinsFury still over there. Wonder if it's another Commediue type situation.Rin really needs GAF is what it is. Was talking about how it was making them cry.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostI've been on it so long I forgot it wasn't default.Reilo uses the light theme .....
Reilo fix plz.
By Ref_Fuji Go To PostIts crazy how the thing that made him rich and (arguably) semi-famous never rubbed off on him like at all. All his posts were jarring and prickly which made him stand out from the rest of the admin team even more.Yeah, he really did stand out. For all the wrong reasons.
By ZattMurdock Go To PostI don't like Carol's current run, but I'm dying for her to get saved by Marvel Studios. Why he hates Carol Danvers so much? This hasn't been the first time I've read that and never understood why.She's boring as fuck
By Auto Simeone Go To Post
disrespecting Bruce Lee
By Edyrn Go To PostOh shit! That's about Bruce Lee? I missed the description the first time I saw the pic.
I thought it was bad enough when I thought it was about a regular someone.
Why do people say he's delusional and egotistical I don't get it...
By Surface of Me Go To PostI'm surprised to see RinsFury still over there. Wonder if it's another Commediue type situation.
She and a couple of other poor souls are still over there trying to fight the good fight. Hopefully she realizes it's pointless and either moves on to here or RE. I liked her.
Honestly surprised that Platy is staying. I imaged she would be the first to jump off after GAF went online.
By Silky Go To PostSlayven?
A mod?
lmfao
From what I remember he was mostly a terrible poster. Am I thinking of someone else?
By Harmen Go To PostAnyone know what happened to the mod More-Badass? I always enjoyed his passion for indies or niche games and he was a very driven poster.
Yeah he was also a Mod I really liked. Hopefully he pops up sooner or later.
They actually believe GAF will be better
With no devs interacting with fans
With no community outreach from companies
With no OT
With no major posters
With barely any mods
With a dead community tab
Sure, okay yea, I can see how GAF would be better without literally all the things that made GAF a good place.

By Ref_Fuji Go To PostIts crazy how the thing that made him rich and (arguably) semi-famous never rubbed off on him like at all. All his posts were jarring and prickly which made him stand out from the rest of the admin team even more.I always assumed it was because he felt like he was "above" it all. Dude made cash, hand over fist, without ever having to actually do anything. He just kind of looked down on the whole thing. Then when he did post, he always acted like he was swooping in from the heavens to deal with the huddled, unclean masses. Maybe he felt ashamed, in a way. Being the owner of a major video game forum will certainly get you some "e-cred," but imagine trying to tell someone unassociated with gaming that you're rich because you own a gaming forum.
By mos6142 Go To Postshinobi is gullible, his mass effect coverage prior to release was hilariousYeah. I mean, I have nothing against him at all(The opposite, he's super nice even if I can heavily disagree with him), but him being a mod kinda seems pointless as I don't see him banning anyone.
Well, him being a mod isn't a negative anyway.
By Harmen Go To PostAnyone know what happened to the mod More-Badass? I always enjoyed his passion for indies or niche games and he was a very driven poster.I think he posted on this thread earlier.
By giririsss Go To PostReilo uses the light theme …..So, there are masochists here, too.
By Harmen Go To PostAnyone know what happened to the mod More-Badass? I always enjoyed his passion for indies or niche games and he was a very driven poster.He's on the SteamGaf discord so he'll probably be moving to ResetERA once it's up
By LionPride Go To PostShe's boring as fuckThat I can agree with. Kamala is a way better character than her, definitely agree with that. But that doesn't mean that Marvel Studios can't make something worthwhile with her. I even have an idea for it and posted on MvCI's discord hours ago, haha.
By Necronomicon Go To PostSo, there are masochists here, too.I don't know. I mean I hated the light theme on gaf, but here it's not so bad.
By Epsilon-delta Go To PostIt's nice to see a devildog on the forums.Hoorah.
I was a devildoc during my time with the Navy.
By ned_ballad Go To PostThey actually believe GAF will be betterYeah, reading through some of those threads, that is definitely the feeling I get. They're still in denial, fortunately I've moved onto anger, so I'm getting better.

A drunkard fuckwit is not a good character
By Novis Go To PostI don't know. I mean I hated the light theme on gaf, but here it's not so bad.Truth. White, thin text on black is hard to read in big blocks

I don’t understand why he didn’t just stay anonymous. I would have never posted on GAF had I owned it. I would have cashed my checks, set up an LLC, and posted like a regular poster lol.
By LionPride Go To PostProbably, but people kept acting like her comic character was goodMarvel never had a real clue what to do with the character.

Sure, there may come a writer who -gets her- in a way that produces interesting stories, but, quite frankly, she does not really have a good foundation.
Unless they go full Binary with her, and let her have cosmic adventures, she'll be useless.
By Gordon Shumway Go To PostHow many times do I have to hear the words "echo chamber" before I die? Take me already, Satan!So much for the tolerant left!

Yeah this was my perception of him as well. I never liked this dude. It always felt weird to me that he was the owner since he felt so foreign and far removed from the site. I barley saw him post and when he did it usually created a lot of drama. Since he never really interact with the site, he was a shitty moderate, when he did actually interact.
Anyone hear from Doc Seuss? Always enjoyed reading his opinion on shooting games, even if I didn't agree.
By Shantom Go To PostHe's on the SteamGaf discord so he'll probably be moving to ResetERA once it's up
Ok, good to hear.
By Script Kiddies LLC Go To PostI’m pretty damn sure with me not exercising and being out the Marines 10ish years I could still stomp Evilore into dust without breaking a sweat.
Nice to see another former Marine.
