By NovemberMagnus Go To PostSo I tried looking at The Bore and they seem a bit more active than here. Coupled with Slaent seemingly being more about sports than the vidya, which do you think will see more refugees?Who cares long as slaent keeps chill. If folks don't want GAF it's best they don't try to make it all over again and instead just revel in a good design and a new foundation for discussion bereft of some rampaging egotistical sexual deviant ready to perm folks for talking back.
By NovemberMagnus Go To PostSo I tried looking at The Bore and they seem a bit more active than here. Coupled with Slaent seemingly being more about sports than the vidya, which do you think will see more refugees?Depends on what people liked about GAF tbh. Bore seems rather horrible to me.
I think waypoint actually has the most right now. I like it here for the time being.
By sohois Go To PostThe whole internet loves Milkshake Duck, a turn of phrase for surprise racists! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the phrase is annoying as fuckGoddamn it, this totally works
By Mo0 Go To PostI saw a Discord screenshot that made it sound like some GAF people are working on a replacement to put up soon - not sure how that’s going to work out for them, it seems like no matter how much you get the word out you’ll lose some people in the transition.As someone who has lost forums in the past, these quick fix replacements meant to clone the old forum hardly ever work. Actually, I've never seen them work.
By Sobriquet Go To PostWhat's up former GAFfers. So is this the place?
one of them, at least. It's pretty chill so far :)
By sohois Go To PostThe whole internet loves Milkshake Duck, a turn of phrase for surprise racists! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the phrase is annoying as fucklmao
By ned_ballad Go To PostYea, it got to the point where people didn't actually "get" what the term meant.
It worked for that one Xbox indie dev because it was his 15 minutes of fame and 2 seconds later his crazy feminist dystopia storyline came out and he disappeared again. He was what the original tweet was about.
It didn't work for someone like JonTron, because he was famous for a long time, always was kind of weird, and the revelations were surprising, but didn't end his 15 minutes of fame (which was more like a decade of fame). Somehow it had evolved into "anyone sorta famous says something really racist and dumb, must be a milkshake duck!" which isn't what the original joke was.
Yeah, like I'm sure some of them on the other GAF refuges are going like "wow I can't believe Evilore ended up being a milkshake duck" when like given his past behavior, this isn't really all that surprising.

Neogaf itself is a clone of the old gaming age forums.
By Moris Go To PostI'm a mod here so grain of salt, but that place gets toxic as hell. Its where the folks who were, more likely than not, rightfully banned from Neogaf congregate.That's the feeling I get when I'm there. So Slaent is my new home.
The best reply on this situation I have read is ironically from the Voat/neofag board -
"I don't give two shits about this shower allegation because it sounds like typical muh feminism bullshit (even though your Eurotrip was 100% confirmation that you're a creep), but that's the thing. You fostered this kind of irrational, knee-jerk stupid thinking, catering to these SJW nutjobs for years. All those marxist moderators you empowered for years that turned your forum into a Top 5 referrer to Hillary Clinton's website (why is a video game website even getting kickbacks from a political candidate?) has finally come back to bite you in the ass, like a rabid dog, feral with rabies. You did this all to yourself. I seriously doubt things would have been this bad if you weren't such a manchild sperglord, but it's fitting that your half-baked political nonsense led to your demise"

With a mix of twitter, but yeah.

NeoGAF was a specific thing for specific people created and maintained around a specific set of circumstances and ideals. Now that the Emperor has no clothes, it's never going to be the same. It's such a shame.
By NovemberMagnus Go To PostSo I tried looking at The Bore and they seem a bit more active than here. Coupled with Slaent seemingly being more about sports than the vidya, which do you think will see more refugees?It doesn't seem more active to me, and also seems gross as fuck.
By KabukiWaq Go To PostNeogaf itself is a clone of the old gaming age forums.Yeah I don't think most folks even realize lore didn't found or really build gaf from the ground up. He bought gamingage off some dude. Place already had a decent size pop and staff.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostDid EL actually deny knowing Amirox or are people just infering this from the apparent ban on talking about his crimes?
I'm not exactly sure what would constitute "knowing Amirox" but this:
was absolutely untrue.
By Qvoth Go To Postso there's 4? geonaf, waypoint, the bore and here?
bleargh
You can always pray Opa-Age/Opa-Ages makes a comeback or you can jump into the cesspool that is Voat
By munchie64 Go To PostDepends on what people liked about GAF tbh. Bore seems rather horrible to me.The Bore sucks for sure, seems like it's kind of founded on being a place for banned GAFers who are like "ACTUALLY GAF FUCKING SUCKED BECAUSE THEY WOULDNT LET ME CALL TRUMP THE MAGA GOD EMPEROR"
I think waypoint actually has the most right now. I like it here for the time being.

lmao thinking that Hilary was somehow related to marxism, or that GAF was somehow marxist.
Like, how far into right-wing ideas you have to be to spout ridiculous stuff like that?
What about the OG site Gaming-Age?
They are still up and running their website - what if someone can collaborate with them to bring back the forums and just revert back to the old GAF?
Gaming-Age/Forums - it is not currently there but it can be...

Someone will create a replacement (or this forum will be one) and things will be normal again... after a year.
By Diprosalic Go To Postmilkshakes are gross.Dude, dipping chicken nuggets and/or french fries into a frosty vanilla shake is amazing.
everyone who drinks them while eating warm food is wrong.
Do we fight now?
By jaladinozozo Go To PostThe best reply on this situation I have read is ironically from the Voat/neofag board -You think someone who believes GAF was getting kickbacks from Clinton's campaign is a good reply?

wat lol, this reply is fucking dumb as shit. "Muh feminism"? "Actually climbing into a shower uninvited with someone is no big deal"?
"Marxist moderators" low key might be the dumbest thing in it.
By NovemberMagnus Go To PostNow I want a milkshake but im on keto thx for ruining my diet guiz
there's always duck
By Widdle Puppy Go To PostI hated el's avatarsFun fact, I was once banned for one day for making fun of Evilore’s profile picture
Yeah uh can we keep some stuff on the forums they came from. "Marxist Moderators." Whew. lmao. Bruh.
By John Rabbit Go To PostDude, dipping chicken nuggets and/or french fries into a frosty vanilla shake is amazing.

this is disgusting.
when i found out people drink milkshakes while eating food i almost vomited.
I think it may be best to have the mods start funnelling people into their respective communities within Slaent,
Destiny 2
Mario
Star Wars
Stamp collecting
Hand Egg
etc

Must say this is somewhat true, I got temp banned for using some salty language years ago in regards to streamers getting paid on the down lo (before it was the norm), and found The Bore. There was something appealing at first, but the sort of “look the other way” at some of the discriminatory posts just kinda rubbed me the wrong way.
Bet dude would love if some larger physically dominating individual climbed into the shower behind him uninvited after he just up chucked in the toilet.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostYeah uh can we keep some stuff on the forums they came from. "Marxist Moderators." Whew. lmao. Bruh.
By Red Blaster Go To Postmarxists being pro hillary lolololol
take that shit back where you found it pal
I wouldn't doubt it - I made lots of threads about cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in the early days on NeoGaf and for no good reason the mods would fuck with my thread titles, edit my links and even contents of my OP...some serious fuckery went on that site for sure and it got worse and worse until the very end.
Burn it to the ground and start over.
Stop over modding shit - you can have an AI mod that just shuts down flame,spam,porn, illegal shit.
Let people talk about what they want when they want and how they want you over sensitive safe space fucks.
Another refugee checking in, I just found out that GAF was down and why an hour ago. I've been posting there for a few years and it sucks that folks who need an outlet and community have to find a new one but it is what it is and Evilore's behavior should have consequences.
Wait, Gaf was getting kickbacks from the Clinton campaign? I'm sure there is a very compelling jpeg to support this claim.
By Diprosalic Go To Postthis is disgusting.I bet you hate mayonnaise too. You monster.
when i found out people drink milkshakes while eating food i almost vomited.
By NovemberMagnus Go To PostSo I tried looking at The Bore and they seem a bit more active than here. Coupled with Slaent seemingly being more about sports than the vidya, which do you think will see more refugees?Seeing as Bore was really just niggas who were permed complaining about GAF 25/8......
Doesn't surprise to find out mods had favourites that they protected. The cliques on that place were incredibly obvious because the same few people would shit up specific threads all the time.
Also while we're at it modbot was a bitch move for mods to hide behind. It used to be funny when the mods actually interacted with people (Bish being the best example) and they even had their own memes but they all seemed to have crawled up their own arse in recent years.
I don't know if that that decision came from the top or what but it's ironic that people randomly getting banned and threads closed with no discussion came to this. This could've been handled on the site but all those decisions created an environment that made it impossible.

I forget but didn't EL come after NBA-GAF over some girl he was caping rejecting an NBA-Gaffer. This is ironic.
By jaladinozozo Go To PostThe best reply on this situation I have read is ironically from the Voat/neofag board -yeah my favourite reply to this situation is also the anti-SJW one with a touch of casual ableism

If you think a voat has anything of value, or you seriously think "marxism" is a thing that actually applies to any internet forums, you're an idiot.
By Sobriquet Go To PostWhat's up former GAFfers. So is this the place?Yeah. I got nuked by Dear Leader along with most of BoxOfficeGAF. Not that I was a big part of that, mind you. Easy choice when one of the best contributers got a ban with "Fuck off you dipshit" attached.
The lack of transparency was dumb and mods not directing discussion and just being glorified janitors was always a shit show. Instead of dealing with derails or some ol' b.s. stuff just went on for pages, people got banned with a pithy remark and no one learned anything.
By null Go To PostDoesn't surprise to find out mods had favourites that they protected. The cliques on that place were incredibly obvious because the same few people would shit up specific threads all the time.Mods playing favorites was something that was essentially confirmed once those besada posts were leaked last year.
