i can't believe they still have shit like that erupting on that forum. how can someone write 3 paragraphs on and on about how news is being posted on a forum? let alone doing it for 5-10 years

I really don't get it either, and this is why I mostly stick with my own threads.

I'm a little confused with this RB hoopla

- They don't want a catch-all super thread for all things RB related, people get banned for that (?)
- People create separate thread for different RB related news, people get banned for that (?)

Is that a correct rundown, and if so doubleyou-tee-eff

Forgot to mention that Evilore's thread was a dupe and he was pissed because he missed the 'news' and shouldn't have to go to a gaming site to get it. 

Perhaps if Search worked, Evilore would have been able to locate the original thread.

So the recent GAF rejects plan on creating their own forum - wastingyourlife.com. Using twitter to recruit seems like a good idea, but I doubt the forum will last long, or have a healthy userbase like EB.

I'm down with any spin-off board from GAF.

Always thought Y2KEV was a fruity gaffurt that couldn't handle the heat at EB.  Dude probably looks like a beast and have few friends IRL.  Otherwise, why would a Columbia student be so eager to please a bunch of nerd losers?

He's absolutely fine. This board is fine also but half of the people here are crabby assholes themselves. Nothing wrong with not wanting to deal with a large number of crabby assholes on a regular basis.

The thing that irks me about Kev and other GAF dudes who post a lot, is that they're always laughing at stupid nerd humor that's not funny.   I'd take crabby assholes over a bunch of hysterical nerds any day.   But maybe that's cuz I'm a dick?

Oh I know. He's a really nice dude. I mean that in a good way. Let's face it. When you're a mod on that board you have to toe the line.

To use an analogy from that thread ,when you work for Hitler let's face it. That means occasionally beating up the jews. I don't blame him for that.

Demi is just jealous that kev is as big of a gamer as he is but still gets the women, and became a GAF mod.

tsk tsk demi, you're so transparent.

Demi gets lots of offers.  He's just saving it for when he gets married or when he finally hits 1 million in achievement pts.

The success of places like Evilbore and Opa-Ages were in large part the result of having a pretty notorious cache of posters on board.  I don't think you could even make a moderately active spin-off forum based on how large the GAF userbase is now.  Not that that's necessarily what this new board is interested in doing.

We don't want this to be a spin-off forum, fwiw. It's just gonna have some GAFers when it launches.

The names of EB/OA being gaf references make them spin-off forums (and never anything more) more than anything else.

Opa-ages references a poster who posted on GAF and than founded the forum.  I don't really think that's the same as a GAF reference.  The fact that this board is named Evilbore is a bit problematic, especially if Wilco actually does want the forum to be considered its own entity (lol). 

It's sort of besides the point though.  You've chosen a fairly broad title for your board but it doesn't change its history.  GAF is still your daddy.

Lyte Edge had a crappy forum too which I joined for a little while.  It wasn't really a spin-off though.  I think it was just a place for Lyte's friends to chat about games until the co-founder went insane.

He called it evilbore we felt gaf was starting to get boring. It was summer 06, and mods and admins were cracking down on O-T threads and generally making gaf un-fun. So Willco just named it evilbore since gaf was beginning to be a bore. At this point I don't we can escape the name unless willco makes evilbore.com redirect to thebore.com

Why won't they just join EB? We already have a flourishing community and they'd be accepted because they're great posters.

We were actually pretty slow in the opening months. We didn't even have enough posters for us to agree there was use for a gaming board. It took at least a year, and numerous invites on gaf and making eb's existence known for eb to even remotely have the large quantity of posters it has today.

But that a completely different time. GAF 06 != GAF '10

Then again, Wlllco invited me through irc. That could work for these guys, but I still don't see why they just don't join eb.

Successful spinoffs are around because a few notorious (but popular) people are the star(s) of the spinoff board.  For OA, it was Opa.  For EB, it was MAF.  Both were GAF legends in their respective days and siphoned off the disillusioned and banned.  This new forum doesn't look to have much of anything as its hook from what I've read about so far.  In a few months, it will basically be abandoned.  Not to mention most of the good GAF members have long since left or make posts once in a great while.  The talent pool to make a fledgling board remain active simply does not exist.
