Daaaaaaaaaaaamnn, what happened to this thread? Can we please just go back to the golden days of digging up info on that fat asian stalker and Evilore using that as a way to get in Nintendoll's pants?
The sad truth for GAF is that is a forum for nerds, by nerds, and run by a nerd who makes nearly a half a million a year from said nerds.
This latest wave of creeper activity reinforces this truth. I know a sizable contingent on GAF oh so desperately hopes that they are simply computer savvy social butterflies, that they are just totally chill dodes, like a zanier Aziz Ansari, but there are a lot of fucked up nerds (of both genders, see: Koshiba) that roam the boards. When nerd delusions and reality collide, it gets ugly.
I'm not going to condone that kind of stupid and shitty behavior but people do need to be aware that GAF isn't some uber trendy place where chill dodes and cool chicks like to hang out: it's a popular nerd hovel, but a nerd hovel nevertheless. People in general should be wary on what kind of personal information they give out on GAF. This should be common sense but alas...
I'm quoting this, not be spooking your words, but because someone will post something before I have time to craft the words from my monger.
Neogaf has a powerful resonance with computer games, and computer games are a magnet for a galaxy of differing social niches, the one thing that glues them together is the fact that Neogaf, by pure chance, and then by careful management, has become a weird thing. Unlike SA, you don't have to pay, you just have to not post as a petulant child, troll (which is an awful, shitty verb, and is used as a catch-all for a subjective taste thermometer, and something Dawkins obviously spanks off to, at every dinner party he dominates, as he would, as he's that kind of guy).
Yep. Kinda bored with what I was saying, hence the blunt ending of my previous stanza.
Troll is basically a fucking lazy get out clause. And I was talking about memes apropos Dawkins, which was covered in the Fortean Times and The New Scientist before the Internet was even considering surfing for shitty janime and fuckall threads about what a girl really wants (clue: girls are unique snowflakes, so go outside, and open your mouth to catch them when it's cold).
