WYL was doomed the minute it became clear the forum was simply GAF 2.0. You can make fun of EB on many levels, but outside of some of the darker early days it was never a GAF clone. We quickly created our own personality, hyped our own memes, and actually talked about videogames. If I want to post on GAF, I'll post on GAF. EB stands alone.
Re-creating every single "main" GAF thread (hey look, a box office performance thread! oh look, a Community thread full of gifs! and what's that, Rock Banddddd!) and showing disturbing glimpses of GAF mod abuse is NOT the way to build an independent forum.
