By ArmVanDam Go To PostJon "gene pool" Tron blaming everyone but himself yet again for being taken out of Yooka-LayleeIt's not even like their losses were related to anything Evilore did anyway! The other weird thing too is the dancing on the ashes of neogaf over alleged rape. Like c'mon. That shit's fucked.
Just going by what I've seen so far, this seems like a pretty swell place. Have any GAF mods come by to say what happened? Apologies if that was somewhere in the last 90+ pages.
By BravesCountry Go To PostAlso looking for a discord invite
Same.
Throwing this here since I don't think anyone else has shared it (this was on the Discord a bit ago).
MattEnth - Today at 7:56 PM
Hey everyone,
OpenCritic cofounder here. We're also working on a substitute location. I wanted to give a little context behind why.
We care a lot about NeoGAF. NeoGAF represented 5% of our entire lifteimte traffic. In many ways, we attribute our success to this community. I'm not sure we would be where we are today without you all.
We are laser focused on making sure that the community survives rather than splintering and fracturing out.
With that in mind, our two chief concerns right now are both technical and community stability.
From a technical standpoint, NeoGAF is challenging. Handling thousands of simulatenous users all hitting a database cluster isn't easy to set up. The forums were one of the largest in gaming. We think we have the technical expertise required to handle it. We've already supported thousands of concurrent users on OpenCritic.
From a community standpoint, we're concerned about a fractured community. That's why we've elected to work with a few previous moderators and turn over all administrative decisions to them. We've implemented the same policies as the old forum, down to posting times and "no free email services." Our strategy is to get a stable community first, before conversations about policy or moderator changes.
That's about all we know.
Some other questions we've gotten:
"Where's it going to live?" - We don't know, but this is easy to change.
"What about X moderator/policy?" - We set up a subforum for discussions about policies.
"What about signatures?" - Unlikely for load reasons
"What about animated avatars?" - I dunno
Feel free to DM me any other questions.
Matthew
By Midnigh Lunch Go To PostIt’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.
Mine too what the hell am I supposed to do when I pretend to be working now? So many leaks industry insiders all gone...I do like this site though so far.
By RumbleHumble Go To PostIt's not even like their losses were related to anything Evilore did anyway! The other weird thing too is the dancing on the ashes of neogaf over alleged rape. Like c'mon. That shit's fucked.The joy being shared over a woman's sexual harassment is terrifying and depressing.
By Too rich Go To PostIf we don't get animated avatars back I will kill myself.Time to bring back GTA IV animated avatars.
By blue capsule Go To Postcheck this out brehsThe reveling in GAFs demise on twitter is sad, but its nice to know Jon Tron continues to make himself look like an ass.

By Deadbeat Go To PostHe is still in Hat in Time which apparently is a good game so he still won I guess?Evilore is in Pillars of Eternity which is also a solid game. Not sure that exactly counts as winning at life.
By Akim Go To PostCan you give invites by any chance?I am not able to do that, sorry bud.
By Murcielago Go To Postyea, mobile slant is pure sexiness.I just tried it. Wow this is great. Happy New home.
I definitely feel like this is the place people are going to settle down at if ResetEra doesn't come online within the next day or two. Waiting until the end of the week might as well be waiting until next year in internet time.
Last thing I wanna read about is an asshole pissing contest over which dick was in the better indie game.
By Akim Go To PostI got banned yesterday when the site came back up for a second, did this happen to anyone else?
"You have been banned for the following reason:
Good luck out there
Date the ban will be lifted: Never"
I don't know. I wanted to get a few PMs sent to a couple folks but the site wouldn't load for me at all and I just gave up trying.
By Inflatablemidget Go To PostLet me echo others and say THANK YOU. Hopefully we get our sales threads. That Matt Piscatella guy from NPD says he's going to post tomorrows results at Waypoint. He went to the wrong forum.Oh my God, in all of this I forgot that nod was moved to Monday. Lol. Shit.
I don't really see a point in OpenCritic trying to bring the GAF community to them when said community has already splintered off. When something like this happens and there isn't a solution in place beforehand then you are going to get splintered communities with nothing to do about it. Plus working previous GAF moderators isn't a good idea, I would have rather it be in the vein of Slaent whereby it is completely new and no ties to the GAF team bar community members. That way you don't have old skeletons following you and the same thing happening again.
Plus no one can beat Slaent's design. This site is fucking slick.

By FuturusX Go To PostAnimated Avatars…but why?For that sweet Anime Animated Avatar Alliteration.

Yeah if we get the same level of breaking news here I feel like it’s a Digg mass exodus to Reddit fit. They have to get something better up ASAP or it’s not going to happen.
Made me realize how much content I actually got from GAF everyday.
I got banned for being too sexy, but it was fair. This mobile site with the dark theme gives me tingles.

By John Rabbit Go To PostBrehs 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?
Bra how do you access the chat? I'm in the server but I'm locked out of everything but #welcome, #read, and #rules
Do I have to wait to be confirmed?
Another of gaf-kind here. Props to the mod team for doing what they did.
Not everything lasts forever, and it's sad the community had to be thrust into the vacuum created by gaf's disappearance where everyone was flung to different corners of the net, scrambling to reconnect. I never made any personal connections with any individual members there, which has left me at a bit of a loss trying to keep up on where the community is trying to go.

By fr0st Go To Postso does anybody know what truly happened to GAF?

One year member of Gaf here. I hoping someone can migrate some of the threads over. I know I'm asking for way too much, but there were some excellent technical threads on NeoGaf. Shit, I'm going to miss DuskGolems horror recommendations, Durante's fixes (even though I didn't see him much recently), and the amazing OTs. I just wish there was a contingency plan for this situation.

By fr0st Go To Postso does anybody know what truly happened to GAF?evillore took it down and it will probably never come back
By Tim Aza Go To PostUhh, what??? The name is terrible and little to no creativity in the design.
The new logo.
Just read the Kotaku article and man this is crazy. Did the girl say she and Evilore started dating after the shower incident that was short lived? I think she called it a "physical relationship"
Also, is there a way to search for threads on this site?

By MrMephistoX Go To PostI 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.Yeah it really is a cesspool out there. Thankfully slaent exists and is fucking sane.

Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite OT please...is there one?
By Not Go To PostBra how do you access the chat? I'm in the server but I'm locked out of everything but #welcome, #read, and #rulesGo to the one with everyone typing "I read the rules, my name on Gaf was <name>.
Do I have to wait to be confirmed?
Oh God, no animated avatars. It's already enough that people post an animated gifs that blow 5% of my data budget. Video and large images should always be opt-out on websites.
By Not Go To PostBra how do you access the chat? I'm in the server but I'm locked out of everything but #welcome, #read, and #rulesYeah. It took a few hours for me. You're not missing much.
Do I have to wait to be confirmed?
By CoolestSpot Go To PostThe joy being shared over a woman's sexual harassment is terrifying and depressing.Saying their joy is about sexual assault is similar to saying football players are protesting the armed forces.
By Not Go To PostBra how do you access the chat? I'm in the server but I'm locked out of everything but #welcome, #read, and #rulesyou need to be approved, which means if you were banned on gaf or are a completely new user they are probably not letting you in. Also it takes a little time. You also have to read the rules and post what they want you to post so that they know to approve you.
Do I have to wait to be confirmed?
Well, tried out MobileSLAENT...
I have issues with this too.
Time for sleep, I'll offer some feedback on this tomorrow.

By EarthBound64 Go To PostI mean, the update request/list page has unaddressed stuff from a year ago…Well, when you have a single guy working on everything and he already has a full-time job, progress can be slow!
