I think I heard about Slaent on Twitter following the GAF outage. Nobody slid into my DMs or invited me to secret discords
I was invited via DM as a prolific wrassle gaffer
You can see how well the wrasslin ot in here has survived

i still got temp slaent in my browser autocomplete
wasn't there an IRC? I think thats how i got here.
Something happened in the NBA thread to cause the creation.. then a few months later we got the "the internet is a big place" post, right? Not to bring up old shit tho..

By reilo Go To PostOn that note, I get we are a tight-knit community here, but it wouldn't be so bad if people on here got word-of-mouth out there to help get some new posters in here – or even bring back some lapsed posters.I tried to get cs gaf to come over but they’re all dumb and didn’t like the forum cuz it was new and unique and didn’t use the same infrastructure as forums from 20 years ago
reilo quickly code another version of slaent that we can toggle to
modern and classic versions
thanks
modern and classic versions

By Perfect Blue Go To PostDon't even remember how I got here specifically.
i was in a taxi in cebu on my way to work, had just woken up so hadnt checked anything yet. internet was real slow and when i finally opened whatsapp it was 60 different messages asking me if i knew about slaent yet, and how half the football thread had gotten banned on neogaf due to... the order 1886

Omg something new! Lol I remember this during the great migration to era when this was a hostile for the fallen.

My invite to the old old SLAENT was from Morris. I’m figured he wanted to recruit as many Lakers fans as possible

bringing value to slaent. the ban was a mistake clearly.

By HonestVapes Go To PostI’m out of the loop on what happened thereIt's too painful a memory to recollect.
i am not actually sure either. Wasn't it Odd who got it all crashing down?
Do remember Makmud, me, N8, Arnie all being banned for 6 months... For makmud posting N8's balls in the thread. If that isnt victim blaming n8 I dont know what is. He got banned for someone posting revenge porn of him.
Wilbur got us unbanned before time with this beautiful song though

By SavageGordonLung Go To PostFor makmud posting N8's balls in the thread.This is deep lore

but it all worked out, i appreciate this place

By Pedja Go To Postlol I got an invite and I only posted in the footy thread like 2 or 3 times.I'm glad you made it here, on my funniest slaent posters list you're definitely top 2
Odds ban was for talking about The Order 1886 in the Football thread. Mods said they wanted us to talk only about football. That's despite it being a community thread where all interests were being discussed.
I don't know what went down amongst the Admin and Mod team that prompted such a change in their behaviours towards us and the other large community threads. I'm guessing someone had it in for us for whatever reason? They said we were insular and not welcoming to new members. Yeah there were lots of in jokes, but we always liked getting new posters in. There were many shit posts, but it was all relatively tame stuff. And the stuff that wasn't so tame was posted to the WhatsApp and not on the forum.
Here's a link to the page with the offending Odd post.

Like, maybe we were worse as a group than I remember? But I really think the thread and the posters in it were fine. Think we self policed pretty well too and any controversial topics were stamped out.
Like I said. The crackdown on the thread never made sense to me.

It was done to pretty much all community threads right? I feel like quite a few mass bannings also happened in the other ones at the time, but I wasnt very active in any of them.
I just checked my Gaf account, I was invited by a PM from a user whose username is now “Herpes Reasons”

By Cleff Go To PostOdds ban was for talking about The Order 1886 in the Football thread. Mods said they wanted us to talk only about football. That's despite it being a community thread where all interests were being discussed.Two of the largest non-gaming threads that regularly had 40,000 posts per month were considered "too insular" -- as if having that amount of traffic wasn't a result because of how popular they were. They pulled the same shit on the NBA thread which is how we got onto SL&ENT to begin with.

By Cleff Go To PostLike, maybe we were worse as a group than I remember? But I really think the thread and the posters in it were fine. Think we self policed pretty well too and any controversial topics were stamped out.We've had plenty of users who were a bit harder to control for sure, so I can see some mods thinking the harder approach would work better, but that Odd ban was still so laughable, especially with Odd hardly being anyone that ever made any problems. One of the nicest guys around in the footy topic for sure.

They pulled the same shit on the NBA thread which is how we got onto SL&ENT to begin with.It's kinda ironic that Cerium saw all of this, even saying stuff like "Duckroll has his hand up Evilore's ass and was one of the key players in the last closing of NBA GAF." and picking mods that were even worse when it comes to handling stuff like that and driving off even more communities.
I think i went through at least 2 footygaf purges? I vaguely remember that twat Red Scarlet making it their holy duty to fuck with us because we talked about non-football stuff in the thread. And "cunt" getting banned, so we replaced it with JT or John Terry, until Evilore decided we were allowed to say it again.
Everything was cool when Mumei was the mod. And that dude that was like 8 feet tall or whatever the fuck it was.

Yeah the first purge led to footballthread later renamed lcvg.com being made
Yeah, that's him. Think I even made a Moyeezus gif with him requesting Wes to ban people or some shit.
he would get so offended every time Hixx burped while we played fifa. also insisted on being as tall as he was in real life, in fifa. he was a fifa saboteur.
By Cleff Go To PostThey said we were insular and not welcoming to new members. Yeah there were lots of in jokes, but we always liked getting new posters in. There were many shit posts, but it was all relatively tame stuff.Was such a dumb opinion too, one of our inside jokes/lines was literally
"welcome, who do you support"
By rerixo Go To Postloll i forgot about gaf always freaking out about the word cuntYeah they used to lose their shit at the word cunt but didn't bat an eye at their virtual jesus wearing earbuds in the club.

By Pac-12 Go To PostWhen GAF imploded, you got me. Wasn't that too much?Clearly we truly needed the coveted curmudgeony old men that make dad jokes demo
I had followed the NBA GAF thread because I wanted to see some drama that wasn't caused by complete idiots. My NeoGAF account never got approved so I never posted. I don't remember how I found SLAENT but I remember one of my first posts was responding to people talking about how the NBA has too many FTAs these days by pulling data from basketball-reference and showing how FTAs had been dropping every year since the league's inception.

Think there came a point on GAF where people were just openly advertising a move to other forums and taking the ban, which I assume is how he found ut about this place.
Speaking of, I still haven't gotten around to deleting my account there. Does anyone know what casued all politics talk to be banned? I imagine it wasn't pleasant given the kind of person they did a 180 on and actively started trying to draw to the site.
I remember Pele watching some of us playing FIFA during the end days of game. I remember chatting to him when I was streaming. Then he was so happy when he got to join us here.
I got a message in my DMs as well. Not sure who it was.
I miss seeing the early stats of this place when we joined.
I think I had Korea in the top ten of posts by country by myself haha.
