By jaladinozozo Go To PostThe 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"
Yeah I imagine if he instead fostered people like the one who would make this post, the girl would be getting death threats and the forum would be fine. Seriously how is it "feminism bullshit" to be shaken up by some naked dude creeping on you in the bath when you aren't interested and feeling unwell? No one would want that.
By sohois Go To PostClicked on a few threads at that Geonaf place, seen a couple of Trump and Pepe avatars as well as a ton of posts bitching about the "SJWs". Looks like another Bore
Any new place is gonna be invite only for a long ass time because all the places that pop up now will be infiltrated quickly. Ppl that never made connections with other members on gaf will be SOL if a new place comes up that does have some hope of taking over.
By Static Veins Go To PostSo is this GeoNaf the place to be? It’s currently running as slow as molasses but seems to be massively populated.Depends, are you looking for a safe space to cry about safe spaces in
The problem is that Evilore was just a teenager when he got hold of GAF, and like every kid who gets into some kind of power, he turned into a shithead, thinking he can do anything because he is "famous". I will really miss GAF, but it's time reality hit Evliore in the face.
By Raging GAFfot Go To PostWait, what? Deets plzAnother user posted the gist of it a page or so back, this thread moves fast:
The first strike happened when the Wenstein scandal blew up, then there started to appear more and more sexual assaults threads, and Evilore participated in one, saying it was better to "wait for evidence" and started banning people left and right for calling him out (Really good people, Box office GAF died that day)."
Basically a good dude by the name of Inferno313 homed in on the "wait for evidence" post by Evi of yore and called him out, and was greeted by: https://twitter.com/Inferno313/status/916387461730848768
Which lead to this very satisfying mic drop earlier today: https://twitter.com/Inferno313/status/922086704068120578

By phqphq Go To PostI saw Jason's tweet last night, that's what made me surprised there wasn't anything at all about it yet.
By Raging GAFfot Go To PostI'm not exactly sure what would constitute "knowing Amirox" but this:
was absolutely untrue.
Alright, maybe more about the Ami situation has come out since then but I'm gonna say the same thing I said about it back then.
Apparently, when the first thread about Ami went up, there were all of 2 mods online, neither of them were EL, and apparently neither of them knew Ami's real name. (EL even stated here that most of the current mods weren't around during Ami's time.) Those mods then went into panic mode, deleting and locking threads in an attempt to pause any witch-hunts before they could consult with EL. Once they did confirm it was him, they permad him and didn't really do anything to restrict talk of the incident through the other boards, (Though Elf did lock the main discussion thread after posting that statement.)
All in all, I think the mods did the best they could in handling the Amirox incident and shouldn't be shamed for it.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostUh hmmm…
lol..Feels like my other home.
EviLore, Gromph and Timan are the only forum staff left.

By The Funyarinpa Go To PostBore is mostly a diet Voat. Creepyly stalkish people too. They've got a Bobby-Roberts related vernacular and go in hard on the dude in a pretty weird and passive agressive way. I get he can be opinionated, but there's a lot of good shit in that guy. Really uncalled for.I kindly disagree about Bobby Roberts. Bobby Roberts was one of the worst who took the moral high ground to the nth degree.
I remember I admitted a wrong in a thread one time and the man wouldn't let it go. I pulled back, and that is when kame-senin? tore him a new asshole.
The guy loves to talk about himself.
By John Rabbit Go To PostMaybe read a few posts. It took me about 20 seconds to decide never to visit that site again.
Welp, I just registered, took one look at the topics and promptly closed the browser window.
I lurked on GAF for the past five years or so, checking in for rumors and leaks. There was some really cool stuff on there sometimes. But man...reading about what happened is really sad. It wasn't always the best place around, but at least I felt like it was better than the constant poop-storm of reddit. Oh well.
Hey everybody!
Hey everybody!
By Random Ass Username Go To PostNah he permed a dude for texting a girl he'd later "date" for a week then call crazy in the irc. Who even knows. Feel sorry for folks who were exposed to the man tbqh.Nah thekad's right. The jamesfrom818 saga was the catalyst for the first NBA-gaf exodus to mibbit.
geonaf is a dumb scheme, prolly best to ignore it altogether
slaent’s been around for years so if you want a new place to hang, here’s your chance. it’s not really trying to be new neogaf or anything, it’s p chill. reilo is cool even if he won’t mod me

I'd love to hear some deetz on this. always heard about the NBA GAF purge but no one ever went beyond vague mentions of it
Tablet ran out of battery so didnt get to finish earlier post, on phone now.
Where I was going with all of that was that just because EL knew amiroxs name doesnt mean the mods knew his name, so that statement could still have been true

By Epsilon-delta Go To PostI kindly disagree about Bobby Roberts. Bobby Roberts was one of the worst who loved to take the moral high ground to the nth degree.I totally get that, but he's like a Satan figure on VOAT and bore. He frequently alluded to being harassed by anons too. Self-righteousness is pretty yucky, but some people take it way too far.

I think I'm gonna need to combine Twitter, Discord and this place. Sad that we wont have such a massive aggregate news site like that again. At least most people here so far seem like decent people and conversation has been somewhat sane.

By ned_ballad Go To PostI always appreciated how there were multiple members of PoliGAF who knew the exact region a congressman was from, and could source up election data for the last 100 years, including trends in population, political leanings, demographics, etc, and end up with interesting posts outlining the odds of winning a particular seat.
I'm really going to miss that thread, even with all its debilitating pessimism.
yeah. That thread had some good knowledgeable folks. I enjoyed a certain kirby avatar economic and historical input. They were recently new to poligaf too.

Geonaf is already a haven of boundary-testing. I guess it's a big magnet since it's resembles NeoGAF the most.
By Enter The Noid Go To PostI kinda get the feeling it won't come back up.I'm starting to think we should contact Polygon/Kotaku etc letting them know of us and any other alternatives people may want to check out. I'm sure there's plenty of gaffers that still have no idea what happened.
The bore is a good forum. Anyone bad mouthing it is probably an uptight GAF poster that the bore wouldn't want anyway or someone stuck on the GAF thread which is a cesspool just like GAF actually was.
If you're looking for a forum where you can whack philosophies about and feel good about yourself because you play crappy JRPG 10000, or are in a rush to seem as liberal as possible, and in general take this internet GAMING forum so serious that it becomes part of your identity. No, it's not the forum for you. It's a simple easy going place to shoot the shit about dumb video games and other stuff. It's not going to be an echo chamber where you can complain that the masses don't get random Atlus rpg.
But it's hardly trash.
