Been reading neogaf since forever. Never registered. Used it for the LTTPs, news and really good impressions of what the community was playing. People knew how to write and you had everyone from developers to people working in retail filling the threads with relevant information. Hopefully everyone will migrate here.
Wait RS got an article bout this!

By Goose Se7en Go To PostI will miss NeoGAF, even after being permabanned around E3. When it came to gaming discussion it was what I checked first before any of the major sites. It was my go to for gaming news, discussion and obscure games mainstream games press wouldn't cover.
But almost everything was politically tinged after President Trump won the election. You always had to toe the line and be careful of what you posted. Sure GAF had some wackos and alt accounts who were there just to troll, but for any conservative folks like myself you were best not saying anything contrary to what the hive mind believed in of you were 1. Banned or 2. Cast aside as a bigot, Nazi, alt-right supporter etc. There was just black and white with many folks and it was overbearing. Even if you questioned something the pitchforks would be out.
Some in the moderation team were hypocrites. They let a thread go 100+ pages character assassinating Colin Moriarty after his joke tweet that many were butt hurt over. I will miss certain communities on GAF, but I welcome the return of many who either were banned or worst, simply left because of the hypocrisy of many on the mod team.
As for Malka, he certainly had this coming and the fact that he himself admitted back in 2012 of ass grabbing didn't do him any favors. The fact that the mod team bailed on him is telling on 2 very different fronts. This is all assumption here, but either many were in on it and bailed in fear of being exposed or they truly all left in solidarity to protest Malka (which I seriously doubt).
Eh, Fuck Colin Moriarty.
Not getting pass for his dumbass so-called libertarian views
that is all.

By friskykillface Go To PostSomeone offered him that amount to buy gaf , at least that's what I read on Twitter, I believe it
And he fucking said "no"?
By Script Kiddies LLC Go To PostWell, to be fair, being a conservative by definition means you want to conserve what America was, which was wildly racist or sexist, so you kinda earn being lumped in with deplorable people when you self label as a conservative.
Secondly, I think a vast majority of the mods didn’t like Evilore, but genuinely loved the site and the community and saw the writing on the wall, particularly with the current climate towards sexual harassment.
1) nah, fiscal conservativism has nothing to do with preserving the past. But that’s for the political thread to discuss.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostEh, Fuck Colin Moriarty.nope colin is a legit piece of shit and it wasn't that one tweet

By Future Foundation Go To PostAnd he fucking said "no"?
yep
By Ahasverus Go To PostI'm in for this site tbh, but for it to be a real neo neo gaf it needs:Nah, I think having everything under "entertainment" is a great idea. One of gaf's biggest strengths was how all gaming discussion was unified and the melting pot that created. Having all entertainment related threads under the same banner is the next logical conclusion. Entertainment and tech threads on the OT side always felt like they'd be right at home if they moved in with the Gaming side. More so than they were with threads about politics, girl issues and Florida man, anyway.
- Gaming subforum.
- Community threads.
That's all. I like the mobile version, users seems cool and moderation, while not as tyrannical, seems level headed enough.
This is this site's chance tbh. You got 13000 orphans. Give them a home.

Yeah. He wanted to remain ownership of the forum. Worst mistake of his life. Right after decided to go ahead with his scum tendencies.
I'd also appreciate a link to the general GAF Discord. If only to keep tabs on where the community winds up... although it would be cool if that new home turned out to be here.
i won't miss every dumb fucker trying to force their political position down other people's throats like we give a fuck you pretend to lean in a certain direction or you support the other rich butcher in your nation.
actually fuck right off with that shit.
actually fuck right off with that shit.
I got permabanned there for saying I mistook a pic of Serena Williams back flexing for a dude (she was ripped, V-shaped back and all. I really did mistake her for a guy for a sec), while threads mocking twerking Miley Cyrus for looking like a flat teen boy or a dancing chicken were left open with no bans.
I wasnt even joking or judging. I literally only said I that.
I loved GAF but these shitty one-shot bans that unfairly grouped you with whatever flavour of the week issue GAF decided to crack down on can fuck right off with Malkas’ reputation.

By TheMikado Go To Post1) nah, fiscal conservativism has nothing to do with preserving the past. But that’s for the political thread to discuss.Fiscal conservatism protects the wild wealth imbalance already created from sexism and racism at its core, so my point still stands.

By fredrancour Go To PostWell if a nerd-toy painting thread pop up here let me know so I can pop in to get told how trash I am at art get feedback on how I butcher kingdom death's minisI've created one - http://slaent.com/thread/1237312/
By Alligator Go To PostI don’t think gaf can recover even if he sells it
I don't know about that. Because the problem really is him, despite people having all kinds of problem with the site, it didn't crashed because of these problems, it did because of the individual at the top.
I can't go back there and give money to him, but if I knew he wasn't getting a dime. Why not?
By Alligator Go To PostI don’t think gaf can recover even if he sells it
even if he sells it i guarantee it wont be worth $10,000,000 anymore what a fuking dummy.
lol Mike Ybarra's tweet was about the Yankees losing but people just assumed it was about gaf because of the timing. Amazing how it lined up though, that couldn't have gone any better coming from a top guy at Xbox.

I think you'd do better to take this to the politics thread if you'd want to discuss it further. I vehemently disagree with you but to each his own.

A big downside to GAF going down is that shitheels like Colin are getting to celebrate.
It's more of a question of what he wants to do going forward. If he sells Gaf, it's just going to become IGN or Gamefaq, but he'll still be able to get a pretty penny I assume(No where near those original offers if true, the brand is damaged and his response is only making it worse by the minute).
But if he actually wants Gaf to continue, simply needs to hand it off to someone else.

Even if he just handed it over and still made money from it that's better than trying to carry on like nothing happened. His influence is all over that place and it's tainted. Even if gaf is really like a million small community sites that would be totally unaffected if it just came back up it's always going to be a thing now.
It would be best if he handed it over to some of the mods that left and just piss off or sell it and piss off.

I don’t think he cared about GAF beyond the fact that it paid to fund his worldwide tour lifestyle and gave him a platform to lord his tenuous bit of power over people.

Ha! Such a good post by Colin. He can gloat all he wants after all the mean and shitty stuff folks on GAF said about him and the mods allowed. Schadenfreude!!!

+1 to this. Fuck Colin and fuck those that support him.
Malka always came off as a condescending douche with no humility in his "success." Dude essentially inherited a money-making operation that required little effort to manage and he still couldn't keep his ego in check. As soon as the allegations started resurfacing, I was like, "nope." Glad to see this place is here and alive and well. The posters made GAF and it's good to see so many of us made the jump here.
By creepingfear Go To PostI will miss airplane.gif and GAF discusses porn memes.This place won’t be GAF until we get some socially inept dudes asking inane questions that 3 seconds of common sense can solve.
Well, it was very useful for gaming and random news, Slaent and twitter will have to suffice for now.
By Script Kiddies LLC Go To PostThis place won’t be GAF until we get some socially inept dudes asking inane questions that 3 seconds of common sense can solve.
Help, my eyes are crying blood and my head hurts. Should I go to the doctor or should I just sleep it off?
By Alligator Go To PostI don’t think gaf can recover even if he sells itEh, if it stays well moderated then I know I'll be back. 12 years is hard to walk away from for me.
By Realyst Go To PostWelp, no more G/A/F? guessing games now I guess…I don't even know what s/l/e/n/t would be.
By Script Kiddies LLC Go To PostThis place won’t be GAF until we get some socially inept dudes asking inane questions that 3 seconds of common sense can solve.It just hit me that we are never going to get to hear the end of that "just found out my girlfriend is cheating on me" thread, unless the OP joins Slaent.
