My first recollection of it was when NBA GAF got hammered with bans. Giri runs the site, right? How did it come to be?
When NBA gaf got nuked we were on a temporary forum while this one was being developed by reilo and sharp
Well that's the short version at least
Well that's the short version at least
Reilo & Sharp collaborated on this place for a long time. Shit happened and NBA community thought it best to just call this home to have more control of our own destiny.
More shit happened and The Barbershop joined.
Even more shit happened and Footy joined.
Even more shit happened still and halo came.
The details of 'shit happened' is best left in the past.

This was a bard song in modern times. Thank you for sharing.
Aw you edited it out...
By DY_nasty Go To Postyou'd think forever was an admin or moderator going off of that postThat's just my narrative voice.
I tried to make it biblical, like the exodus.
They couldn't handle me being at the top of the post list in every thread.
So they designed software specifically incapable if counting the number of posts.

SL&ENT had an Immaculate Conception. Don't believe the blasphemers, deviants, and schismatics who'd sully our (pre)history with patently ludicrous tales of hardships, struggles, and the happenings of shit.
Can one give a brief history of a miracle, an eruption from the void, creatio ex nihilo?

As am I, and that happening would make me go Amish. But you know that any comic book movie thread is a powder keg, and the bans will come a'flowing soon enough.

Once it was clear that GAF mods didn't like how NBA-Gaf acted as a community, a bunch of us pooled time/resources to preserve a community we liked, instead of continually bashing our heads against the wishes of GAF.
I hosted the temporary site in transition while Sharp (a very good back end guy) and Reilo (a very good front end guy) worked away on a new site. None of us particularly love PHPBB, it's ... awkward software for the most part.
There's about 5 or 6 of us that are behind the site as founders, but thats where we're at.
We want to continue to develop the site it self, and turn it into a place people are happy to use.

It's a great site. Kudos to you all
*Unbias reviews SLAENT*
Reilo went on other forums and saw they weren't as tecnologically advanced. He spent years honing his programming acumen to the point that he could pull off such amazing wizardry. People from somewhere else decided to get on a spaceship and jump into a wormhole hoping to land on a planet with breathable air and an environment. That's the history of slaent in a nutshell.

That's because no one has, Slaent comes expensive or it don't come at all.
Turn off ur ad block please and thank you.

I love the ads on SL&ENT I'd never use ad block. One second they're trying to sell me Glocks; the next, Muslim women.
BTW, I have an impression, I wonder if it's true.
BestGAF had much more trashtalking. The best times I've had there was shitting on Heat fans. And the lack of filter was one of the things that neogaf didn't like. Now, paradoxically, I feel like Sla&nt is much more cordial. Am I wrong?

It was created as a place for people with passions for whatever (basketball, footy Halo and so on) a place where we can separate being a fanboy in one thread and having a real discussion in another thread.
Reilo and Sharp really knocked it out the park with the site design and the mod team is really close making it easy to get on the same page and not back bite each other.

By Gabyskra Go To PostBTW, I have an impression, I wonder if it's true.Yes and no. I think mostly it's the off-season right now and there's no evil empire like the Heat. There's still plenty of shit talk during the season.

On the other hand we don't call Vaughn "Vag" anymore.

Well we kind of bonded in a way from what I see.... We are a community now. It still gets heated and EAD fly about from time to time. Trash talking is part of being a fan, personal insults and being petty doesn't jive here

All I know is a lot of Footy GAF went over here when the footy topic on GAF was (temporarily) closed for some reason.
By Alpende Go To PostAll I know is a lot of Footy GAF went over here when the footy topic on GAF was (temporarily) closed for some reason.The reason is simple.
One of us got banned for that http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=152696504&postcount=4490
For ONE MONTH, for absolutely no reason.
We knew that some mods hated us and they were only waiting for a reason to ban us, but well as you can imagine, everyone was pissed and we discussed the ban in the footy topic.
That's where alot of bans happened, including one or two perms, that was the part which was okay, since it was actually against the rules...
Still, that they didn't even question themselves, why on earth that whole shit happened....
We were gone and the topic on GAF is as good as dead now.
Thankfully we found a new home.
