By Suen Go To PostBet they will act like they also were victims of MolestLore’s kingdom to gather sympathy and users. Imagine signing up to post under their moderation policies again. Weeeeeew.They wont get the same level of power trip due to the smaller community they will garner so they will probably be even more aggressive.
By Dreams-Visions Go To PostJust realized this was my last post on GAF, perhaps ever.
Just thought people doing the usual joking about the site being slow. Turned out to be more accurate than expected or intended.
I'd say it was a bang.

By TPB Go To PostAnother weary traveller from the old country rolling in. Already missing the shmup threads (general and PC), so perhaps I'll try and rub together a thread here if there's room for one.Get me a SMUPS thread, Retro thread, Sega Saturn thread, obscure Japanese games thread and a monthly wraslin thread and I'll feel right at home. ;)
Oh and an Asian film thread of course!

I think we're gonna need some receipts.
By Sonny Bonds Go To PostSo will we get a statement from Malka or not?
I don't think so.
I would love to join a revitalized GAF/Spawn of GAF (lol), but if it has the same registration methods (needing a pay Email address, combined with wait times..) count me out.
By Randolph Freelander Go To PostPeople thinking OT was the bad part of GAF. I can't even.I actually think that. Mods were a problem true, gaming side was a mess but OT was full of bitter and toxic people that were offended at everything and yelling "Trump supporter" (not exactly this) at everyone that didn't agree with their ideals.
By Randolph Freelander Go To PostPeople thinking OT was the bad part of GAF. I can't even.
Politics aside, Marvel and Food GAF were the best. As well as the once in a while crazy thread that would pop up.
By Ignatz Mouse Go To PostI'd say it was a bang.It definitely was looking at some of the cached pages.
It's terribly sad to see a community get splintered off like this. I'd been on GAF for over a decade and had been lurking since 2002. It's even worse that it came of the result of one mans despicable actions - I sincerely hope the victims of said-perpetrator can find some semblance of peace now that he has been outed.
I already see a lot of avatar I recognize here, I hope the best parts of GAF can live on in some form, it has been home for me on the internet since I was teenager and I'm just rolling into my 30's.
Both sides had gotten bad, in my opinion.

By Randolph Freelander Go To PostPeople thinking OT was the bad part of GAF. I can't even.OT was really great before like 2011 ish
By meppi64 Go To Post^ Yep, me too.
I remember browsing the forum on my Dreamcast as I didn't buy my first laptop till 2002 or 2003.
When it got rebooted, it took a bit for me to register again.
Seeing as how a lot of them were part of the problem that made the forum such a vile place at times, I'm extremely hesitant to hear they are trying to rebuild and continue on where they left off.
I sincerely doubt that kind of place would be good for my mental health. ;P
If EL isn't involved I think I'd be open to it.
I think he played heavily into the politics of the site, and I can see why mods were hesitant to call him out on it seeing as how he became pro at just shoving shit under a rug and lying his ass off.
I totally understand the concern you have with the mods retaining their power on this new site though, it should be an entirely different group of users.
By Auto Simeone Go To Postany day now
"it's just a Facebook comment don't believe everything you read"
"bitch had it coming"
"I took the forum down as a power move so I wouldn't be seen as a mark and someone to be taken advantage of."
Kind of bittersweet seeing this go down. I'll miss a lot of the community OTs I was an active participant in, but fuck all the hypocrisy, double standards, and trigger happy / power hungry mods.
By pulga Go To Posthow the fuck can this he a gaf replacement when there isnt even a dedicated videogame section. thats one whole audience who wont be coming here.
this is more of an OT-lite.
OT is almost all I did at GAF for years.
By Randolph Freelander Go To PostPeople thinking OT was the bad part of GAF. I can't even.
Nah, it was the Giant Bomb thread.
Any new iteration, I'll consider. And there certainly were issues with how things were run. But I'll wait and see if it was due to directives from EL that mods just didn't care enough to push back on, or if they subscribe to those same views and policies that were negatives. I personally didn't mind the near zero tolerance to sexism/racism/etc. I do agree that conservative views were piled upon and given a shorter leash. Didn't venture too much into gaming, though. But yeah with OT I also can see that it was a bit too heavy-handed and there was too much suppression of just some lighthearted comedy, etc.

HUELEN, the guy who had an obsession with the colour of Sonic's eyes being green, is teaming up to buy gaf with a guy called.... Lime?
Holy shit it all makes sense.

I really wouldn't want to attach myself or my preferences with GAF having some form of influence on it.
Better to start new with an even mix of new people.

Soo did Bish getting demodded have anything to do this? Everytime I saw EL post in a thread, that was my cue to get the hell out of there. He always was an arsehole but this just goes so far beyond that.

By jacob.armitage Go To PostIt took less than a minute. I got the reply instantly and had to post one thing in the discord to gain access.Guess I'll stop being a lazy shit then.
Shill time:
The horror threads are pretty slow moving, but they're good spots to catch a recommendation or shoot the shit about the current state of things.
31 Days of Horror
You'll find links to the other threads there, too.
The photo thread could use some love. We've got some talented people here that navigate film and photo, so if you have questions, ask away.

this is so fuckign funny http://slaent.com/thread/478305/page/9/post/913816/
I feel bad for folks who had real informative community threads about like computers, programming, photography, etc. Those were always nice catchalls for some info about latest gear. I think you can make those here relatively safely, I don't see the leadership crew here just purging stuff out of sheer pettiness.
By n8 dogg Go To Postthis is so fuckign funny http://slaent.com/thread/478305/page/9/post/913816/OH MY FUCKING GOD
Anyone know of a good replacement for the B/S/T thread? It was the only place I felt safe buying and selling things on the internet. Gonna miss it.
By Randolph Freelander Go To PostPeople thinking OT was the bad part of GAF. I can't even.
Gaming side had a whole Gamergate thread as that shit was popping off with folks shitting on Anita and trying to doxx her, had a whole ass pewdiepie defense force but OT was the problem.
Constantly had threads like how "diversity is ruining their gaming", "no politics (that I disagree with) in mah games", "historical accuracy in completely fictitious games". "X character can't be black bc they have <insert unnatural="" hair="" color="">", "This game got a low score from this publication lets boycott this publication", "These women ruined my favorite series!", "Can't relate to this game bc the main character isn't white"
But OT was the problem? Nah the problem is as is the same problem in all gaming forums. Some folks are just toxic, sad, pathetic individuals whose lived their entire lives sheltered and think their views of the world are law. They've gone through life never being challenged or having to deal with perspectives that are different than their own in various ways (whether they be racial, sexual orientation based, gender based, etc).
Folks always trying to pretend gaming side was some safe haven of love and acceptance and it wasn't. Gaming side was just as toxic as OT, and for the very same reasons. Difference is, there was a sizable community within OT who weren't down with putting up with the typical status quo/let's ignore it and it'll all go away bullshit like gaming side likes to do.
