Evilore took over the account and is "working with Twitter" to find out who started it so they can be permabanned.

He's also deleting every tweet about the GAF subscription plan.

[Himu]

Why is he doing that? Why is he so tight-assed about people talking shit about gaf? Who cares? So he hijacks someone's twitter account because they don't like gaf? I don't get it. Why does it matter?

[Himu]

Also: pay to post on gaf? Gaf is not Something Awful...I'm assuming it'd be an optional thing, though. Honestly, I'd probably pay if it meant better content. But there's no way I'd pay if it was just Gaming and O-T only. That's few too many boards for a pay site.

[CajoleJuice]

I'm still assuming that's all an elaborate ruse

[Himu]

Yeah, I'm not believing it. It seems like a ridiculous gaf hate site, but does that justify the grounds for hijacking it and "working with twitter" to delete it? Seems a bit much.

[demi]

That twitter is hilarious

[etiolate]

either way

i learned eluv likes tolstoy

sometimes I wonder what sort of adhesive Konex uses to keep his balls from running away from him

Dude has the thinnest skin possible. He's an ass.

End of Story.


I doubt the subscription thing is true but if it was I would laugh my ass off.

better content. You think paying a subscription would somehow turn people into rational human being and not losers that get all hurt over sales data and exclusives?

I was mostly talking about the forums themselves. Like, if the make it a paysite, there's no excuse to NOT make it like SA: feature multiple forums for certain subjects so as to spread the community off into different sections, this would cause less friction and less trolling and probably higher quality posts in general. With a paysite they could allow a no bullshit tolerance stance on console warriors and viral marketers. If they followed SA's model it could turn out decent.

With a paysite, standards are (and should be, rightfully so) increased. That is all.

But...this is gaf. So lol

[Barry Egan]

whoever wrote this twitter is certainly curmudgeonly enough to be well received here.  Do we know who it is yet?

[Dickie Dee]

.Owner identified. Was indeed a mod. No, I will not name him. Permabanned. Will delete all of these posts tomorrow. That is all. --Tyler

oh my

[Himu]

* Himuro goes to mod list

All of the mods are still on the list, but I can't check who's banned or not because I'm banned lol

[fistfulofmetal]

he's not gonna name the mod

ok. so then we'll just wait and see which mod doesn't post anymore.  or that^^

HAhahahah, so fake... or is it?

[Himu]

omg 

[Barry Egan]

maybe this is just the first chapter of a GAF ARG.

[AdmiralViscen]

Someone invite that dude

[TakingBackSunday]

I hope its amirox, that would prove to stick it to both him and evilore

[AdmiralViscen]

Red Dead Redemption players, don't join EviLore's online posse--it has the same shitty rules as NeoGAF.

I ran into EviLore's mom the other day. Asked her about GAF. "What the hell's GAF?" she asked. Way to make a momma proud!!!

Did you hear that GAF got rid of some of it's most idiotic rules? No? That's 'cause it will never happen as long as EviLore's in charge.

Speaking of GAF IRC: irc://studio64.yi.org/ga You're welcome.

If you think Dragona is bad on GAF when she's on the rag, hopefully you won't ever see her in real life at the same time. Yikes.

Hey, you! Yeah, you, GAFer with a pregnant wife! If you aren't posting during the birth your ass is gone. Prioritize, bitch.

@JRpotential Well, I play video games, as do almost all GAFers. I also cry at the meaninglessness of my existence as a GAF mod.

Heard a GAF member got banned yesterday for posting an article from The Onion. Know why we ban people like that? Because we're pussies.

[Barry Egan]

I'm putting my money down on Hitokage.

[Himu]

That was Hito? No wayyyyyyy. Then again I did see a note on the twitter about how on gaf you're banned for making fun of gay people, but in gaf irc people say cigarillo all the time. He made a ban on usage of "cigarillo" and "distinguished effete fellow" in #ga ways back. Still don't think it's Hito, though. It's not really classy, and Hito is mostly all class.

[AdmiralViscen]

Added "NeoGAF Moderator" to my résumé today. You've got to impress if you want to land a job flipping burgers at Mickey D's!

Told my 74 year-old neighbor today that I banned him from GAF. "What's GAF?" he asked. "If you have to ask," I said, "you deserve the ban."

By the way, if any of you jokers mention me on GAF, I'll ban you. Don't even think about it.

[CajoleJuice]

I really just find the twitter account pretty embarrassing. Always figured it was a butthurt perma'd member.

[Himu]

This is a mod.

He often makes comments about atheist gaf as well. I bet you it's iepatus. Same dry humor and witty rebuttals.

Nah, whoever has the twitter wants you to be able to say cigarillo.

I saw a guy on GAF today tell someone he wanted to rape his mother. Let that slide. Saw another guy call someone a slur for a homosexual...

embarassing? why?

My troll appreciation is low, demi! Teach me.

Forgot about him.  That's totally who it is.  He was always interested in religious debates and often hedged against atheism in favor of agnosticism.  

[demi]

No, I'm asking why is that embarassing

By the comments in the twitter he seems religious though.

[Stoney Mason]

I wish it was. He was one of the mods I liked and my respect would only increase if it was.

EDIT: For what its worth I actually don't have an issue with most of the mods over there. I don't care for Evilore. Amirox is definitely annoying. There was another one that I can't remember the name of who I actively didn't care for. The rest I was indifferent to or I actually liked them.

2nd EDIT: Remembered his name. Teknopathetic I think. Don't like that dude either.

[CajoleJuice]

Because it just seems like butthurtness on public display.

Edit: Of course, if it really *is* a mod, then that changes things.

[AdmiralViscen]

I was scoping out an old roommate on Facebook and had a laugh:

H: Hey Chris, how are you doing? What's up? I hope all is well! Speak to you later. PS What's a Monster Hunter Tri? Do I want one?

Chris: I'm.. Ok I guess, trying to get my life in order, got a job so thats one thing off the list (though its not really what I want it will do for now to pay the bills) Other then that... not much you dont already know. I know nothing changes much with me how boring. and Monster Hunter Tri is a game for the Wii where you hunt dinasaurs looking things ... See Moreand dragons and (single player or you and three others online for free) and carve up the bodies to get hide and horns and other things to make your villiage prosperous and make you new armor weapons, household goods etc. its fun because you have to think you can't just run in and hack away... you would get killed.

 

[etiolate]

hope its fake

i kinda liked iepatus

I recall him being able to comprehend what other people are saying. A rare thing on the net these days.

[DJ_Tet]

Oh man, I'm lol'ing if Gaf Gold comes to pass.  Even better if it's actually more expensive than Something Awful.

Has any other message board site even been able to have a successful subscription-based membership?

I'd pay $10 just to access SA, I rarely even post there.  I'm pretty sure I could do without GAF if I had to pay to access it.  Definitely if it's a yearly sub ala ESPN, Gamespot or IGN. 



edit:  How can Evilore get access to the Twitter account?  What makes gaf a celebrity worth protecting?

[Raban]

I'm really interested in knowing what Dragona looks like irl.

He probably lied to Twitter and said the guy was impersonating GAF or something.

Evilore really is quite the piece of shit. He out-does himself like every day. I can see him wake up every morning with a smirk on his face, simply saying,

"How much more of an ass can I be today?"

[The Fake Shemp]

wtf

[ManaByte]

I wonder if Evilore knows that even if he deletes the posts they're still archived forever in the Library of Congress Twitter archive

They've been archiving Twitter for a while.

[OptimoPeach]

Can someone summarize the drama for me? I'm really high and my marbles are all gone and I can't make sense of any of this

[demi]

Someone has a twitter account (originally called "NeoGafMod" ?) and apparently EviLore took control of it (now called FakeNeoGafMod ?)

I dont thnk its drama, just funny

[Costanza]

im pretty sure that "takeover" is a joke. and it's always been "FakeNeoGAFMod"

[Himu]

if the "takeover" is a joke because we actually believe it'd be something that would result from gaf drama

[treythemovie]

* Himuro goes to mod list

All of the mods are still on the list, but I can't check who's banned or not because I'm banned lol

The only banned mod I can see is Vennt, but his account was already deleted a couple of weeks ago. That's assuming this 'takeover' and account are even real, which is dubious at best.

[T-Short]

heh. terrible twitter

[DJ_Tet]

If BP can't stop the joke twitter, no way Evilore can just take over a gaf twitter. 

[Costanza]

what happened with Vennt?

[treythemovie]

what happened with Vennt?

Not sure. He had been butting heads with Evilore for awhile, and had even been de-modded once already a while back. So I suppose that after the whole Apple/Ipad thing, Evilore had had enough.

[archie4208]

Vennt was an Apple fanboy who banned people for defying Steve Jobs.  Good riddance.

[WrikaWrek]

Still don't get it.

[Stoney Mason]

If its Vennt that would be disappointing... (Totally forgot he existed as a mod)


Mainly because I didn't really like him so I won't be able to give him a virtual dap.

[Reb]

The use of the GAF Gold joke confirms its a joke account.

In answer to inquiries: it's not GAF Gold. GAF Gold is for pricks who want to feel 1337. This is a subscription for existing GAF.
