Something funny about this place
« on: September 06, 2008, 11:05:16 PM »
We're growing each day with new members signing up from GAF and other places, but the activity always remains the same. Since forever. You look at the top to see how many posters are online and it's often around 15, 30 max.

And I like that. EB can't turn into GAF. We should step in as quickly as possible when it starts to fill up here.
Not that I ever see EB growing as big as GAF.

i wouldn't mind a traffic increase, as long as the most vocal people are quality posters.  i don't know what would happen if we were flooded by dumbs, considering maf's not too big on indiscriminate banning.

Most of the people who sign up post once or twice, and then disappear until they get banned from GAF.

There's no way, even if we dont pay attention, that this place will get as big as GAF. There were A LOT of factors along the way before NeoGAF, before GAF, before GEO Forums that contributed to its success. The biggest factor being GA/GEO itself. NeoGAF wouldnt be where it is today without GA

That's what I did, except I've never been banned from GAF.

Yeah, there are a lot of people who just use this place as a reserve, to post in when they get banned from GAF.

There's nothing wrong with that considering that most of THOSE types of people wouldn't really be a good addition to the forum anyways.

GEO - Gaming Enthusiasts Online - It was what GA was about 10-11 years ago? Before it was GEO it was GE or something, but that was way back when.

If it rose to GAF popularity, this place would cease to be what it is now and someone would just start another GAF obsessed forum :p

This place needs more people posting between 0900 and 1700 GMT. Sometimes I actually find myself doing work.

Didn't #vidgames have something to do with the past of gaf?

I don't go back as far as MAF, but I was there before the Dreamcast launched. I do know vague stories about GEO and #vidgames, but that's all hearsay.  *strokes e-penis*

I was a legacy lurker for awhile.  I hit GAF after I started working for IGN and Daily Radar from Nintendorks.

Many come thinking they are hot shit, then they realize that this is the realest place on the iNteRnetZ, and they can't handle it.

I wouldn't want us to become another GAF.  I like the tight community here.

I hope we start getting more posters who aren't affiliated with GAF. There's way too much gaf bitching here, it would be nice to have more independent posters who don't give a shit about what's happening on that forum.

I'm not a GAF member. I lurked GAF but already grew tired of it before signing up.
Here I found the right kind of crazy, instead of the GAF annoying kind of crazy.

That's how it happened with me...

I found this place through GAF, but i have never been a member there. My account was not approved, and now i spend a lot more time reading up stuff here than on GAF, which i rarely visit these days. Here it's like a filter for all the bull that gets written over there, and most of the people i enjoyed reading on GAF post here now, and those that i didn't enjoy who get banned and end up here leave very fast again, so the place stays clean...
