By Angelus Errare Go To PostOne thing I'll say about that article is I'm not comfortable that they used her real name.whole article seems weirdly in favor of EL
By HateFootball Go To Posti 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
"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.
mmm boy
By TheHunter Go To PostHey I've been reasonable.
Screw Nazis hallelujah and peanut butter.
Someone NeoGAF this man.

Whats the matter with you?
By DY_nasty Go To PostIts very, very odd.
Because legally that's…. very, very odd.
I'm worried a bunch of folks will decide to doxx/harass her because GAF went down/imploded…
By Angelus Errare Go To PostOne thing I'll say about that article is I'm not comfortable that they used her real name.Yeah.
Seems very, very naive.
By Angelus Errare Go To PostOne thing I'll say about that article is I'm not comfortable that they used her real name.Kotaku seems to have some morals. They probably asked permission. ... I hope they did.
That is by far one of hatefootballs less questionable posts. You should see his opinions on football.
By VISION Go To PostI 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.Awww Yiss
He also confirmed the top 5 to me, you're not wrong
Thanks for the info.
By DY_nasty Go To PostIts very, very odd.They asked if they can use her name. Plenty of other anonymous sources in the article that asked to remain anonymous.

By Angelus Errare Go To PostI'm worried a bunch of folks will decide to doxx/harass her because GAF went down/imploded…Of course they will. Its already started.
By rekameohs Go To PostI’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.Squeenix's naming department on DEFCON 3
By W Go To PostThat is by far one of hatefootballs less questionable posts. You should see his opinions on football.You probably won't be seeing his opinions on football.
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.The fuck are you?
I hope this reference isn't too dated.
I doubt that woman is in danger of being harassed or doxxed, the crowd that's really into that shit is pretty anti GAF.
By Burial Go To PostNow… where's the mr. robot thread…Fuuuuuck. It's hitting me in waves.
It's all gone.
The fact she had a brief relationship with him afterwards doesn't make the shower incident any less creepy or wrong. I know a lot of people won't interpret it that way, though.
"Credibility" has nothing to do with this.
Besides it's not the first time he's being accused of sexual assault/harassment.

Anyone crazy enough to try doxxing her or something because of some asinine loyalty to gaf or some shit would be a great way to destroy any chance an "official" replacement has of staying clean of any of this.
Kotaku and GAF had a business partnership, didn't they? I don't think the article is in favor of EL, it's mostly neutral and shows pretty much what we know. I think they used her name because she might have approved it but who knows.
EL will probably rebrand and step down. Might still pull the strings on a new site or sell whatever data he can, but GAF is dead.

By Enter The Noid Go To PostI 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.
I honestly can't comment too much on that as I really don't know Tyler. I've been on GAF quite a long time but mostly just kept to different community topics. Caught a few bans for being an idiot at times, but we all learn from mistakes. I don't think any were handed out by Tyler. There's always been random shit said about GAF/posters/admins on the net but I just ignored all of it. Really not interested in the way in which soo many online behave. That's what I was referring to about savage as fuck above. KotakuInAction which clearly has no affiliation to Kotaku has been fucking insane the past 24 hours. Talk about legitimately troubling behaviour and comments.
Anyway, it was just some musings in case ex mods are browsing. If you know the guy better than me these statements might be pissing into the wind. If not, someone just make sure he's still breathing in a few days. There's no point in anything worse coming out of this mess that already has victims.

This is gonna end quite ugly.
By Burial Go To PostGirl is gonna get suedafter reading that im pretty confident gaf will be back, think he is probably seeking some legal advise & getting some new mods before bringing it back. and yes she is probably gona get sued, it looked real bad for evillore but honestly after reading she continued the friendship with him & was even intimate i dont give a shit about her anymore, lost my sympathy.
By ashep Go To PostThe fuck are you?I got you
I hope this reference isn't too dated.
The moral of the story is don't sexually harass anyone. Easy! I don't know why so many have such a problem with that simple step. It's just one step!
By Burial Go To PostNow… where's the mr. robot thread…

Some even ran some of their PR team , around release dates, to make the OT's and such. And i believe they paid for the privilege (understandably).

Far as the article people go through a lot of abuse and reprehensible things and don't have the experience or knowledge to understand what that was really about and how to qualify/categorize it till later.

what can she be sued for? she didn't lie or even misrepresent what happened. she didn't even directly use his name.

I thought officially devs/pubs could have no input on the OTs? I mean given some of the effort put in, it seems suspect, but I remember some dev coming by saying "hey we can help with graphics/info for OTs if you want" and got turned down.

If James Bond did it, why can't the owner of a video game forum.

Are you fucking crazy?
By Labor Go To PostYou think that matters?It miiiiiight, I dunno, the whole doxxing crowd doesn't strike me as the types that would do something like that to get revenge on behalf of the NeoGAF guy. They're probably busy spreading the story right now tbh.
I was a NeoGAF lurker/occasional poster for 4ish years and it was a real shock to see things go down last night. Lame as it seems, I think I am still grieving.
I think NeoGAF offered a lot of positive things to the world. I know that I'll miss e3, Star Trek threads, November Confessions and the Ask Slayven thread. GAF was interesting in that it wasn't connected to a front page like other forums that I've used over the years, like somethingawful.com and pointlesswasteoftime.com. Those sites had/have looming central figures, and it was a treat to see one of their posts. Malka never seemed to earn the same level of respect as Lowtax or David Wong. Maybe my age had an impact on that, but it seems clear that Malka has a history of being a creep.
So far I am taking time to assess my reaction and reconsider what level of importance I give to one particular website.
In the meantime, I want to thank the hosts/management team here at SLAENT. I'm not sure that I'll stick around in the long-run, but this has been a good refuge for the time being.

Think about what you're saying. Think about all the people Weinstein abused that continued to work with him. Think about the amount of people - male and female - in abusive relationships that they can't bring themselves to finish.
This is not a good position to take, man.

By VitalNonsense Go To PostMostly split between here and forum.waypoint.vice.comThat sounds sweet, I hope it comes to fruition.
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.
I'll just posit this: if I knew one of my ex-SOs was being a self-righteous glib asshole somewhere, knowing what they did, and who I am now, able to qualify it as predatory abuse, I'd have a mind to out their shit too.
