U R SO BANN3D
Remember when the Reds traded half their team to the Nationals for nobody? :lol
Remember when MAF got banned? :lol
I used to love reading that gafcritic site. Wish they still updated it.
I moderated an FFXI community a few years back. I only ever banned one guy. He was like FFXI's version of Kittonwy, a totally obnoxious prick who couldn't keep out of threads to save his life. The backlash was phenomenal - I got all sorts of name-calling. But thankfully a few of the smarter types agreed with my decision and I felt ok about it. I quit the game after that though, so while I'm still a mod (I think), I haven't logged into the site in about two years.
Yeah, getting banned kinda sucked. I was there from the beginning, then some dorks came on with their dreams of money and banned me.TWO MINUTE HATE
It had little to do with my rampant editing of posts and abuse of power.
edit: 15k - grats Ichi!
hay guys remember when i was admin
that went well

You used your secret admin powers to out some guy's IP info as I recall?
Honestly, I only trust people who moderate a forum as a hobby. Anyone else has a boatload o problems that will probably be reflected in their outrageous behavior.
I've never got why the majority of gaffot mods treat their positions like important jobs. TVC might be the only guy that doesn't take it so seriously.
Does sp0rsk really hate Evilore now? That's kinda sad.
Yeah I havent irc'ed since...wow, cant remember. After so many years in HS and college too lol
Maybe but he called him "the man" or something like that and sobbed about how he shouldn't have talked back to Evilore.:rofl I didn't realise Evilore's ego was so fragile
Something better I hope. That guy had the worst luck of anyone I knew.
The MAF story is awesome :lolDo you also realise he makes all of his money off of ads on GAF? I don't think he has a job, he makes enough off of gaf.
I always liked Evilore, hell I praised him.
Didn't know he was the owner of GAF, the mega-admin and a 22 year old kiddo, though. Didn't know the stuff people post here about him now.
Image of Evilore --> shattered.
God I wish there was something like Encyclopedia Dramatica for the early internet days.
I dont wanna work on the internet :(
I think we contemplated the idea of selling MrAngryFace merchandise to spite NeoGAF, which was selling MrAngryFace mugs and t-shirts despite banning the poster and not giving him a cut of anything.
Who's Maf?

oh fuck i forgot evilore bought one too... i wonder what he did with it :lol

That is so fucking sleazy.

The Internet is hard work!
My goal with this place is to make it a fringe geek community that makes enough waves that I can sell the name rights and install lots of ads for erectile dysfunction medication. Next year, we will be:
GOLDEN PALACE'S EVILBORE FRITO-LAYS™ ONLINE COMMUNITY

Don't we have a picture of him taking a photo of himself wearing it?

Blackace and JohnTV too.
I think on gaming forums in particular, moderation tends to mean "status symbol," for some odd reason. It all goes right to their heads, and people follow them. See NeoGAF.
yeah i've been hanging out in #ga for like 5 years now, on and off, and I swear to god I can confirm that there are people who are there ALL THE TIME, even during normal work hours. I kind of suspect that a few of them dont have jobs and stuff, it's kind of weird. My client is connected and idling all day long, but everytime i get on the computer, the same people are talking; ALWAYS. Even late at night.
>:(
I feel bad for them
I only started reading gaf come late 04 - start of 05 I think... That's probably around the time MAF was banned already because I don't remember him posting. I do remember him being unbanned suddenly, posting for a while, then getting banned again. confirm/deny Jin, because my memory is hazy
he made a godzilla appreciation thread of some kind
Yeah, getting banned kinda sucked.
Sadly I don't think this forum has any mods. I've never seen any moderation going on aside from locking a califag thread. The fact that users can lock their own threads helps too.
Maybe we just don't need any mods here :-* ?
Most forums moderate themselves. If the majority wants a shithole they'll make it a shithole. Only thing to be done from that point is to ban everyone!
I always thought that Evil Lore was nice and he even posted in my thread a few weeks back when my kitten died. He's not my favorite mod over there though, as Bish easily takes the cake. The only mod that I didn't care for was Sporsk, but the jury is still out on Amirox.
bishoptl seems like a totally nice guy, but the whole Turok sticky thread nonsense is when I pretty much gave up on GAF entirely. He had this weird convoluted logic about how he wasn't being biased, but that Turok was actually the most anticipated game-cum-franchise revival of 2008, and he was just doing his part to give readers what they want. ::) I still like him as a person, but I'm awfully suspicious of him as a mod at this point.I never pay attention to most of the stickies, but he is one of the only mods that I've noticed keeping the system wars somewhat balanced.
MAF is on point. GAF is basically built on the mods, not great posters; that's not the way to create a good forum. The mods influence everything that goes on their instead of actually moderating. Their presence or absence is always so obvious, like when they totally ignore the trolling in a 360 thread or ban anyone who sneezes in a PS3 thread.
There are some great mods on GAF. Blackace is awesome, I like Amir0x, White Man is great; the mods that you rarely even notice (like BuddyC) are cool too. My problem is with people like Dragona and Evillore who command threads. Evillore can be very cool one day and a total ass the next, it's strange

What's the story behind your username change?
The Evilbore administration repeatedly ignores my pm's, requests and demands.
To be honest by the end of my time there I was a pretty horrible, if entertaining, mod.
I remember morphix and I taking our rivalry onto a bf1942 server, it was hilarious.
Why are internet message board moderators so stupid?The ones that are likely just have such huge egos, they don't think intelligence is necessary. Think Emperor Pilaf.
Amen Hollywood. When will the elitist GAF moderating community realize that the danger of 'homos' pales in comparison to merely driving around drunk?
I really like EB 'cause the people that populate this place were the same people that made GAF interesting to read and it's a pretty laid back forum in general without the hassle of having to abide by 300 arbitrary rules that may or may not apply at any given moment.

What ever happened to Opa-Age, is that still going? This is like the demilitarized zone between the two extremes.
Who is OPA?a sad little asian man
Am I right to assume then that most of the Sega faithfull followed him to his forum?Nah. It's a haven for all fanboys
