By Phoenix RISING Go To PostNot sure how to process speculation.What do you think dude said to the mods to get them to scurry away so quick. Think on that a second.
From the article:
After the creeper event that has everyone up in arms, she resumes her "friendship" with him, now with "benefits." This appears to me a case of buyer's remorse from a business transaction over the span of two short months if we're counting from the shower to E3 2015. She became more involved with him, then discovered he was bad news.
Gaf is dead, so perhaps that would be considered a win. But if anyone is looking for justice for the "precipitating event(s, if we want to include the butt-grab of 2012 IIRC)," then you will struggle mightily with proof-beyond-reasonable-doubt.

Unless it's Jojo or Astro Boy. Or Gin Tama. Or Bobobo. Or Gurren Lagann. Wait...let me make a list.
okay i guess i should look around to find out if there's a yakuza thread already, and other stuff
amen
By Alexhex Go To PostFor all its faults, it WAS nice that it seemed to be the only popular online space that seemed to universally dump on, rather than make apologies for, people like this.
amen
By Phoenix RISING Go To PostI just need to know the name of the mod(s) who used to reply frequently in the monthly indie release thread.More_Badass?
By Silky Go To PostYou have no idea how amused I am by the idea of Duckroll being universally hated by most former GAF posters.Duckroll was a legit troll mod. It was infuriating. Specially on Resident Evil threads. Fuck.
By FuturusX Go To PostIndeed. GAF deserves to ride again, GAF isn't dead, or I should say it doesn't have to be. One man's demise can't stop a movement. His major contribution was collecting the checks.
I made the mistake of trying out Reddit for gaming and wow just wow the Alt Right NeoGAF hate is real: it’s more crystallized than Twitter and full of folks that got banned during gamergate. GAF could be a hive mind but really only if you ventured into Off Topic for anything political.
Y2Kev and his reactions to the last guardian pretty much completed me......I'll just lurk Reset Era to bring discussions here
I could never get used to reddits layout of the most popular post was at the top......and i had to actually sort newest to old....and the replies.....yes its such a mess.

By IrishNinja Go To Posti mean…no harm in naming names at this pointIrma miss Kev. He always a joy to read. Is it true Kagari went down with the ship?
ill go to bat for y2kev, xander, stumps and a few others - mumei, ace, eatchlidren and co were good people. i don't really know much about everyone else
except duckroll, he can suck a butt
By livefromkyoto Go To PostOnce you've been on this site for a while - and realize that it actually receives continual updates with a back & forth dialogue on feature requests
I mean, the update request/list page has unaddressed stuff from a year ago...
By Silky Go To Postsee i thought we couldn't share that until it was done lol
I've already seen it 0.0
Also real talk, the embedding here is stratospheres above anything else in the game and once people get around to using it in actual threads they'll realise what a continental joint this is. <3
Brehs the shit that's being said in this discord is worrisome at best.
Not keen on this OpenCritic thing.
Not keen on them 'taking inspiration' from GameFAQs color scheme (I'm designer, sue me)
Currently the biggest issue is whether or not to offer animated avatars
The fuck is they doing?

By IrishNinja Go To Post"GAF is the most close minded place on the internet" is such a dumb bizarro statement that my drive-by grammar lesson was more of a response than it deserved, reallyGAF was incredibly "focused". To the point that it culled anyone and everyone that didn't fit in perfectly. People who didnt pass the "Not Liberal Enough" litmus test. But it's far from the most close minded sites on the internet. That designation is reserved for right wing garbage cesspools.

I'm on that cache site and see that someone actually locked and deleted a lot of the threads when people were Wild Westing everything.
Anyone able to give GAF discord invites? Apparently the one I got yesterday expired.
Realistically I think overzealous modding was one of NeoGaf's strengths. Just because you can post doesn't mean you should. I've been on enough forums to know that once the crowd size is big enough that you stop knowing everyone the signal to noise ratio drops as the a-holes move in. Especially true if you have a reputation and people want to DDOS you. Granted, it wasn't perfect. Permas were overused, thread-specific bans should have been only a day or two, and they needed more transparency for some of the more high profile ones but I think the strictness was generally a virtue.

By GoldenEye 007 Go To PostI mean…. maybe? But there are also plenty of places where any hint of liberal/progressive thought is stifled with the quickness. I'd argue there are more places like that than places like GAF. I've seen some shit on the internet. Hell, you can go into any random comment section and see that. Let alone forums.
Yeah, Gaf always got shit on for being a "hivemind" when there were thousands of right-leaning hivemind gaming websites out there and there was only Gaf.
Also, sup, seeing a lot of familiar faces and some that I haven't seen in awhile.

How annoying
If ResetEra launches on Friday I won’t be able to attend, I’m sorry but that’s Super Mario Odyssey day and we all know ResetEra isn’t even going to be an AAAE title.
It’s weird, GAF was like 90% of my internet use day to day and where I got most of my gaming / general news. Strange without it around. This place seems nice though.

They need a leader with a calm head, to focus them on the fundamentals. Preferably someone that has NOT sexually harassed women.

By Akim Go To PostI got banned yesterday when the site came back up for a second, did this happen to anyone else?Seeing that never on my ban three months ago cause i disagreed with closing a thread was like....fuuuuuuu. Mod even brought some past bans that i didnt even remember from years ago into it, acting like i still somehow held that view or wasnt regretful of a comment. But since i couldnt respond or do anything i was shit out of luck.

Waypoint is similarly messed up and the Mods are on some kind of Antifa witch hunt: I’m all for inclusiveness but there’s so much you can’t discuss per their TOS it’s just annoying.
By Einchy Go To PostYeah, Gaf always got shit on for being a "hivemind" when there were thousands of right-leaning hivemind gaming websites out there and there was only Gaf.GAF wasn't always a hivemind, but over the past 7 or so years they definitely started moderating it to become one. But you're absolutely right about the right leaning sites. They miss the irony of what they do to dissenters on their forums.
Also, sup, seeing a lot of familiar faces and some that I haven't seen in awhile.
By CoolestSpot Go To PostOkay the mobile verison of this site does things to me.On my iPad (3) it take so long for typed text to show up, spell check actually gets confused and makes multiple words into one word and checks it. If I type too fast, it makes nonsense sentences.
By blue capsule Go To Postcheck this out brehsPeeps like JonTron and Tim Soret chuckling over the death of NeoGAF isn't surprising in the least, seeing as how it was critical in tainting both of those two permanently. Unfortunately for them, that stink ain't gonna wash off, even with GAF gone. Damage's been done.

If bans really are carrying over, I probably would've told Evilore to fuck off and got nuked so I'd be blocked from ResetEra.
Or maybe I think too highly of myself

Hopefully Evilore turns the site over to some of the old mods so that it can come back in some form or fashion. I didn't like the "politics" of GAF but it was a good site for information and some great people were on it.
