By ned_ballad Go To PostFrom what I heard, talk of Evilore is banned because it was clogging the chat up from discussing other stuff.Why don't they just create a separate channel for things in Discord? That's why they exist, after all.
By LionPride Go To PostFuck that dirty french southern pedo
thought you were going at Slay for a minute, liek WHOA CrashWhoa.MP3
By Rumblebones Go To PostThis whole situation feels like we crashing at a friend's house and they keep putting down coasters/thread links while we try to figure out what we're doing.There's no problem with being at two forums at once. I did that when FootballGAF was shut down by Evilore.
Personally, I dunno where I'mma go. I like this place the most, I'd like to think with time some of the communities I enjoyed make the transition here eventually. I'm not particularly interested in starting over on nuGAF right now.
Will probably visit the new GAF too. Slaent will be most where I post though. Chill mods, some good posters, and probably the best place to post about football for me.
By Pastry Go To PostYāall been super chill and I like it here. Think Iām going to keep around these parts and casually dip my toes into GAF 2.0 when itās up to check it out. I donāt think there ever will truly be a āreplacementā for what we had.
nope its impossible......what we had was fantastic outside of some really stupid shit and posters. But you are literally going to see that on any forum or community that was as big as that.
I will be cautiously optimistic about the new forums, but would not be completely surprised if it turns to crap real fast.
Also as someone else said, evil lore and old mod talk could easily have been moved to a seperate discord channel.....why ban it instantly.
This smells of the same shit that happened with the original GAF
Spent about a decade on GAF, mostly lurking but would go through posting phases. Glad to see this place.
If anybody was looking, Nick Monroe earlier this year did a pretty good write up of some of the mod bullshit and EL, lots of links to archive.org that still work.
Will miss the OTs and some of the communities. Was a nice that the place had enough small communities that whatever you were interested (beside coin collecting) you could find other people there.
Won't miss italian dinner, milkshake duck, hot take, shot themselves in the foot, first post, came for this, thisisneogaf.gif and any other stupid meme that got ran into the ground.

I do think there is a point where a forum gets so big that basic moderation tactics enforce a certain narrative and allow for certain discussions, once that happens the userbase starts looking very one sided.
By Grizzled Cola Go To PostHaving been on gaf for many many years watching off topic slowly turn into a politics and dog piling forum was horrible, I am never one for "Golden ages" of things, gaf always had issues, but the last few years with Brexit and the new election have ramped up the political rhetoric to a point where, legitimate, unrelated threads were being hijacked, you almost knew if a thread got over a certain number of pages the narrative was completely different and it was people hurling insults and insinuating things.To be fair, he is POTUS. And he's a nonstop source of news due to what is happening in the WH. It's hard to just say ignore him given the long term consequences that are at play here.
As someone who doesnt care about politics this became a real problem, I dont mind having areas for it, threads for it, but there were times when OT was 70% "Look at what trump did, has done, will do" posts.

Trump/politics are an extremely hot and passionate subject right now, of course it will dominate discussion. This is an extremely unusual situation we are living through at the moment. I get that you want to avoid that stuff, but people are going to talk about it.
By Grizzled Cola Go To PostIf Platy, Slayven or excelsior are on the new place, or any place, itll turn into a politics forum in under a week, they have exceptional post rates, no lives, and lots of anger
By 30yearsofhurt Go To PostUggh. Slayven could turn anything into a sexist/racist outrage.
By Too rich Go To PostBut we need Slayven's vapid takes. I want to know if slavery is good or bad and he has a gif that does.Big mad or little mad?
i wasn't a fan of many posters on gaf but thats okay...as obnoxious as they may have been at times, it was at the end of the day their opinion.

Ditto. I once again thank the mods/admins for welcoming us here.
Regarding GAF 2.0, whatever it ends up being called - I think it's going to be a pale imitation of the original for a while. Some growing pains, trying to recapture the magic (so to speak) but not everyone will migrate and it's not going to be the same. After a period of unease transition I think the new forum will start to develop, as new -unrelated to GAF- members join and it will (and should, imho) eventually become its own thing, with a different vibe and ethos. Let that community grow organically instead of trying to be "just" GAF 2: Electric Boogaloo.
i never blocked anyone because what if they said something about me
not that anyone would ever say anything about me
this place is super chill. i also really like waypoint however. less chill, but seems like an amazing forum.

I don' think I blocked anyone in eleven years.
Maybe it's because of being in a deep red state, but when I came across an opinion I didn't like I either fought it, or ignored it.

I openly advocated for a politics subforum
Also every thread went the same way
"Trump does this"
"I didnt read the article or investigate it, here is my two word take"
"expletive trump"
"but he stood with a gay rights flag"
"buttery mails"
"I told you all, republicans are nazis"
"I miss George bush"
"Exposing themselves"
"When will people wake up"
"Its ok to punch nazis"
Amazing how that expands to 10 pages sometimes.

pls no
Every food thread...
By Grizzled Cola Go To PostI do think there is a point where a forum gets so big that basic moderation tactics enforce a certain narrative and allow for certain discussions, once that happens the userbase starts looking very one sided.
Online communities are a double-edged sword and I believe that the "echo chamber" result is quite difficult to prevent. Neogaf's extreme slant was definitely cultivated by the strict moderation, though.

Just dont let messofanego through
It's sort of poetic that his last thread was about trying to get GAF outraged over a joke made during an Obsidian dev AMA. Pretty much sums up his/her/their posting history on GAF.
By Slayven Go To PostBig mad or little mad?It seems you've always been a popular guy with much of the userbase, Slay.

By Grizzled Cola Go To PostI openly advocated for a politics subforumAlso fair. I think that is a symptom of there frequently being no logical discussion to be had from some actions from the executive. So it devolves to what you say.
Also every thread went the same way
"Trump does this"
"I didnt read the article or investigate it, here is my two word take"
"expletive trump"

Maybe considering how big politics became, a subforum is an interesting solution, but at the same time, you can get into adding too many. Also, politics can easily be a part of any topic, so it may be difficult to decide what should be in the politics section versus the main OT.
Waypoint is a no go
https://forum.waypoint.vice.com/t/it-looks-like-neogaf-is-no-more/7116/1324?u=foam_on_me_lips
There are certain types of posts that were totally cool over at NeoGAF that arenāt here. Posts such as raw sales data, news repository posts, box office threads, sales threads, review aggregation threads, site specific threads (breaks rule 10), investigative stuff (breaks rule 10), and things of that nature are going to be closed because we donāt feel they fit the paradigm that we want to uphold here at Waypoint. This is a forum focused on inclusivity and discussion and we want to keep it that way.

Apparently gamergaters and trolls have infiltrated GAF's discord, as well as Asian-GAF's discord (other than name, they really have nothing to do with main GAF in terms of actual content in said discord much like GirlGAF). Yea I'm worried about that woman allowing/wanting her real name to be used in the article. But then again I can understand not wanting to be silenced and wanting folks to know what happened to her.
By Grizzled Cola Go To PostAs someone who doesnt care about politics this became a real problem, I dont mind having areas for it, threads for it, but there were times when OT was 70% "Look at what trump did, has done, will do" posts.
Yeah, I get that. Friends of mine feel the same way. Some nights when we decide to chill on discord, we don't even talk politics. But sometimes if I manage to stumble on to an article about Trump, and react to it accordingly they give me shit about it. I understand. It's a difficult thing to navigate right now.
By Angelus Errare Go To PostAlso the official name of that GAF replacement will be called "ResetEra".What a terrible name. What the hell were they thinking?
I would just call it "Thread Maker: The Forum".
I finally got through this thread, it was at 7 pages when I left last night and now I'm not even sure it was worth the bother. Fuck.
And if that is the legit name I'm giving it 0% chance of success.
