like shut the fuck up already geez, who are you trying to impress
By Rumblebones Go To PostPump your breaks, dickhead.lmao this fuckin guy
What my post boils down to is that the community response leading to GAF's apparent demise is consistent with its overall stance on sexism and other social issues.
4chan dwelling, right wing losers on twitter decrying as all of GAF as hypocrites is therefore bullshit, as per usual.
Miss me with that other bullshit you trying to put on me and don't @ me again.
On a list of productive things trying to get someone already on the Nazi bandwagon back from the brink just isn't that high. There's plenty of places that need volunteers and donations of energy, time and money that are trying to feed, cloth, house people. Or after school education. Or just lonely elderly folks who need some company now and then. People shouldn't have to want forums or spaces where they don't have to engage with "but are x human beings really my equal" time and again.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostAmericans not doing any self-introspection about how we got where we are is our forte. We're in a special kind of denial about our imperialism abroad and what it's done to our democracy at home.
In a certain sense, I can even understand that - decades of "american exceptionalism" forced on you since birth... it takes a lot of time to wash that off and start thinking outside that bubble. It just... bothered me to read supposedly progressive people spout the "whataboutism" excuse to not face how dire the US foreign policy has been for quite a while.
In any case, water under the bridge from my part regarding those GAF users. I think the fight against Trump and his cronies is just one front in a larger fight against the rise of right-wing populists and demagogues. And that's a battle worth fighting for, IMHO.
By hemtae Go To PostI haven't seen kswiston post here. Let's just say that Chrono Trigger came in first as it always has and always will.I contacted him on the GAF Discord. I asked him if he would post it on slaent. He said he's gonna sit on it for a bit and see where most of GAF lands, but that he will publish the full list when the dust settles and that it won't get abandoned.
He also confirmed the top 5 to me, you're not wrong
By RoyalJCC Go To PostThat sounds good. How can I join gaf discord?It's by mod invite only right now unfortunately. One of them was on waypoint earlier letting people in, which is how I'm getting info. Just wanting to share what I know for people who feel lost.

Appreciate the updates!
I think also that this should make more forums wake up and realize anything can happen, that one day, it can all just fall out from under you.
Have a contingency plan.

By IrishNinja Go To Postit's not though, i take your meaning & agree with what's being said here. good post.yeah that was good stuff I hope UC can resist it as peacefully as UF did without a Charlottesville blowing up.
i was proud of how shit went down in gainesville - one dude got stomped out right near me (he's the one the news was on about), but UF really came together to drown spencer out - outside, we were told 75% of the people in the hall were counter protestores chanting over dude so he didn't get a word in. they left mad as hell.
hopefully shit goes the same way for y'all
By n8 dogg Go To Posti hope we get less than 1.7% of all gaf members and i hope at least 80% of you think that bad boys II is a masterpiece
Been waiting on Bad Boys III.
By Francis Go To PostI think that's a very reasonable stance. Brought it on himself 100%, but he must be feeling like complete and utter shit.
Yeah, I agree, actions have consequences as everyone used to say on GAF lol.
We're not just talking about opinions or text on a forum either. Actual actions have taken place.
Still, I don't know the guy well enough to know what his personality is like so the above is as I said just meant as a neutral statement given that a "career" has pretty much ended in 24 hours and complete abandonment taken place. That may well be the deserved consequences but if there's no public statement in another 72 hours somebody should probably check up if they can.
Wow I clearly missed something big. Catching up now. So GAF is suspended permanently? Thank goodness Slaent exists.
By duki Go To Postman go for it im a big boyI mean my response is because we have a president who is friends with them and people who think we should hear what they have to say.
and progressive leftist internet warriors in the year of our lord 2017 STILL somehow manage to bitch them more than we do
Like what.
By ashep Go To PostIf your only takeaway from the Kotaku article is the fact that she had a subsequent relationship with him, do better.
This.
This isn't GAF and everything but we gotta be civil here... we won't tolerate personal insults and attacks. You all should know me... Everybody is welcome here just act right.

It just… bothered me to read supposedly progressive people spout the "whataboutism" excuse to not face how dire the US foreign policy has been for quite a while.Lots of people just rail at an election and go no further. They don't want to engage a lot of dry but important material on what the CIA and covert OPs have been doing in our name since we helped destabilize Iran for BP. Didn't happen post 9/11 either. It was just all this directed anger at those who did the deed but aside from some former cold warriors and professors, not much asking "well what caused that, what did we do." Just head in the sand till the next blowback. Oh and the lessons learned? Let's just do away with half the constitution for our own citizenry.

like how do you even parse this
"my family suffered horrors at the hands of nazis the last time they were in power"
white supremacists literally take/hold office & give daps
"lol what's the problem bruh, you trynna get at that anti nazi pussy or what? simmer down"
By VitalNonsense Go To PostMostly split between here and forum.waypoint.vice.comThis sounds very reasonable.
Word on the neogaf discord is that a proper successor w/ way more transparency and less opinion enforcing is in the works to take what worked and toss what didn't. The whole discipline system is going to get reworked to be open, visible and less absolute. It's got notable community involvement from gaf members and a couple previous mods are also contributing (but they're not in charge and I'm not sure which). Probably as close to official as it's going to get. Obviously zero involvement from Malka, won't even have neo or gaf in the name.
They want to recreate a similar environment for discussion while throwing out evilore's climate of suppression. Plus adding new features with newer forum technology while they're at it. Registration will still be limited for reasons geonaf made obvious this morning, however they're looking into ways to get previous members back in to claim their identities.
Hope they don't rely solely on our (old) email addresses for the identification though... As a couple of people have stated, many don't have access to those anymore.
In the end, I hope the community finds a nice place to settle. This forum seems pretty cool too and I'm warming up to the (way more modern) look and feel.
By blackace Go To PostThis isn't GAF and everything but we gotta be civil here… we won't tolerate personal insults and attacks. You all should know me… Everybody is welcome here just act right.y'all see what you did.

Yup. If GAF was run like a business and not a personal xanga blog then we probably wouldn’t be in this situation.

This as well.
IIRC he dropped out of HS to work at Circuit City and run Neogaf. He hasn't worked in like 12+ years.
So far, it's been pretty cool here. Big shout out to all the SLAENT people for having a nice community :)

By NovemberMagnus Go To PostI think also that this should make more forums wake up and realize anything can happen, that one day, it can all just fall out from under you.Maybe people should look into incorporating forums into proper companies so the fall of one person doesn't take the entire site down.

For as huge as GAF was, it apparently wasn't bigger than just one man. Had Evilore just been president, CEO, or even owner, but there was a hierarchy in place, he could have stepped down and there would have been a smoother transition.
By Audioboxer Go To PostDamn. At least Kotaku took a bit of time to do some investigative journalism.
Possible unpopular opinion coming, but this is meant as a neutral statement. Regardless of what shady personal shit Tyler has gotten up to if any ex mods are reading this and have contact info maybe best to check the guy is still breathing. Again, neutral comment, but his whole livelihood has just been torched and say what you want about the internet but it's been savage as fuck the past 48 hours.
I don't know him personally, or that well, so I'm just speculating as a neutral for the state of mind someone must be in right now as your world falls apart. Again, this isn't undue sympathy or taking away from what has happened. I just think if any mods still have a line of contact check in, in a few days, if there has been no public statement.
I hope he puts out a good statement for no other reason, and this might be naive, but I think Evilore is a well intentioned guy, and it would be good to see that he's learned his lesson and is truly repentant and will grow as person. GAF is done for and there's nothing he can do to bring it back, but it would just be nice to see that the guy learned his lesson.
Reading the Kotaktu article I came away thinking that whatever happens to gaf it needs to change. If people feel like there's more to the story and it's not as cut and dry as the past 24 hours would have us all believe it's still never going to be the same. If gaf can potentially be nuked because of one story then something is seriously wrong.

Hey I've been reasonable.
Screw Nazis hallelujah and peanut butter.
i went to gaf for the gaming news & tech stuff like phones/tablets etc. there is a huge void in the gaming industry now, whether people like to admit it or not gaf was more good than bad for gaming. the off topic section was some far left bullshit, what was particularly hilariously was the witch hunt after every allegation following the weinstein stuff, evillore got poisoned by this own shit lmao
author="Alcotholic" url="/thread/1232086/page/71/#p1241786"]Kotaku put a summary article up:"In a phone conversation with Kotaku, Leupp said that even after the alleged shower incident, she’d continued her friendship and even had a brief physical relationship with Malka until they had a falling out at E3 2015." lmao yeah she can fuck right off, bring back gaf.

I'm surr they'll have more insight into this soon.
Edit: dammit.
I’ve heard the proposed name for the GAF replacement site (no, I won’t post it yet), and don’t worry, “Slaent” won’t be the strangest thing to have to pronounce.

ding ding ding. GAF was a business. Should have had a board of directors, proper business plan, emergency contingency plans, etc.
By rodeoclown Go To PostAll I really have to add is that I saw Bad Boys II in a theater and still have my ticket stub.Man I bet you paid less than a third than what I did this year to see some shitty 3D spandex clowns

Girl is gonna get sued
This whole deal is heartbreaking, been on gaf for 20 years, and see it go like this hurts like a motherfucker, it’s just so sad. Also Media Create/sales age communities where?

By Angelus Errare Go To PostOne thing I'll say about that article is I'm not comfortable that they used her real name.Its very, very odd.
Because legally that's.... very, very odd.
pls ask peoples opinions on BBII on the registration page. Need the mods to know who to be more tolerant of.

Totally agree.

By DY_nasty Go To PostIts very, very odd.I thought the same but they talked to her on the phone. I'd hope they got permission to user her name, because they gave out an anonymous one to somebody else.
