Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

[StealthFan]

So that whole ASMR thing...that's just dudes whacking off to the girls and trying to be scientific about it right? Like waifu shit?

Because that is some straight stupid shit. Also I get really lonely when the chick is making direct eye contact with me and whispering

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

It's back up.  Can't believe some of the threads there are already locked.   

WYL lasted about six weeks before falling apart.  I give this board four weeks at best.  Some members will come here, most will run back to GAF trying to be low key until the heat is off.  EviLore continues to fuck failed models in his Austin high rise apartment and I get some entertainment value.  It's a win-win-win-win scenario.

[Purple Filth]

Eh. Anyone who has a SO and doesn't have sex with them for 3 friggen years is a dead husk anyways.

watch what you say about dcharlie, man.

Nah, there's ASMR stuff that's just sound effects too.  ASMR works on me -I do get that feeling- but only on stuff that seems more genuine and ambient. 

[bork]

Now the locked threads and older threads from before 2014 have been deleted.     What are they doing over there?

Definitely agree with you there.  It's inevitable.

lol dat bore thread is gone now.

[helios]

They got rid a lot of threads. That doesn't seem good.

[StealthFan]

They either don't want new members seeing how utterly dead the forum is or they don't want whatever site they're gonna run off to see the shit they used to talk about them.

[bork]

I thought they didn't want to have moderation like NeoGAF?   

[StealthFan]

Their moderation seemed like it was just GAF 2.0

Things can always be worse. At least they don't have to deal with the iron fist of bork laser. That guy's a tyrant.

Complain about GAF moderation policies while doing the exact same thing, brehs.

Someone tell Reilo no one here says nig.ger. what is wrong with that dude

Why does he think I put a period in the middle of the word? Because it is censored.

Nah fuck that. Don't tell him shit. He's already shown where his loyalties lie.

Don't start none, won't be none

I wonder if this forum will do the same thing all failed spinoff boards on the internet do, which is the board starter making all his friends mods despite there being no actual need for them.

I was gonna say they would last six months. But at this point I'm not giving it three months.

I wouldn't even put it at months. Give it three weeks. If that.

Some of you are really underestimating forums with a strong core focus. As long as top NBA GAF contributors keep being active and people don't lose their sense of self-awareness it could go on for a while.

True. Isn't Rock-Banned still going? Not all spinoffs self destruct, but there are some worrying signs () for this one.

[Shaka Khan]

forgot about that one. Make spinoffs around a harmonix game, brehs.

Basically this. It's not like its based on some shitty game that people will be move on from in six months. The only ones that will move on are Heat fans once LeBron leaves.

Rapping about taking Ls from your wife worked out pretty well for Nas so you might be right

[nudemacusers]

His most recent album cover is him wearing his wedding suit and and sitting down holding Kelis's dress

He's right, but fuck me it's funny seeing it from ubercreep dennis.

[Shadow Mod]

Cheating threads sure do bring out the feels of people.

[Himu]

Nas didn't have a baby with Kelis. He's laying that child support to Cameron and iirc Destiny is now  18.

Stop talking about Nas, Esch. Dint hate because he's so fine.

[Himu]

Nas noooooo

Kelis during Milkshake/Bossy

[nudemacusers]

I would be willing to pay up to $3000/monthly for the privilege of putting a baby in milkshake era kelis.

I thought WYL was created around E3 2012 cause GAF kept crashing and someone wanted to take advantage of that, but it was alive as far back as 2010. 


Since we're on the subject, I'm really surprised no one's been able to make a gaming forum that rivals GAF in popularity to this day.

[Himu]

Something Awful Gaming forum used to be really popular. Penny Arcade too.

nah, WYL happened when evilore busted up the rock band thread.  hilariously, the non-rock band people at WYL ended up chasing away the rock band thread people in a similar way, leading to the second-best splinter forum of a GAF splinter forum ever.

It's a vicious cycle.

Yeah, but neither of those places seem to have the pull that GAF does. And gaf seems to attract people high up in the industry.

Somebody fit this on avatars so we can protest in slacktivist solidarity:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.

Never saw this quote before, was on same page I grabbed that one off of, surprised I've never seen it used in the defense of loserdom before:

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

It really speaks to you and touches in just the right place like a P!nk song does.

And then it splintered a third time because reasons, only the split didn't take like some horrific conjoined twin removal operation and it died off after like two weeks - having never really lived.

Yeah, but neither of those places seem to have the pull that GAF does. And gaf seems to attract people high up in the industry.

Most major game threads at SA has developers who worked on the game posting there. Posted with two Saints Row devs in the Saints Row threads for instance.

The idea that gaf is the only game forum where industry people go is gaffer fud.

[brob]

benji, that quote by lewis is quite literally so famous people truncate it down to "When I became a man I put away childish things" and the people they talk to understand the point being made. In popular culture it has supplanted the bible quote it riffs on. Have you really not heard it before?

edit: also, reddit trashes gaf in terms of popularity. Both as a video game message board (4million on reddit's primary gaming sub alone, nevermind the game/community specific ones) and as an pr/community interaction platform for game developers.

Haha insular communities. Let's create a community forum and throw all the non news threads to those forums so they don't clog up the main forum where wehave our RSS feed. No one will be able to see those threads. Wait you guys are starting to be a bit too insular. When we contained you to your own zone we didn't want that. So we are shutting you down since you're insular but also because you're not a news post.

Haha that forum has no fucking clue.

Never the full thing, no, never read C.S. Lewis really. Always taken the truncated to mean the opposite of the argument because I hadn't seen the contrary context, I like the first half of it more than the apparently more popular part. Similarly I prefer the second half of the first quote to the first sentence which you usually see.
