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

[Phoenix Dark]

It's a symptom of twitter/instant news. Information, including inaccurate information, is spread so quickly that there will always be some wrong story that can be trumpeted as "proof" of a conspiracy. Everybody wants to be first with info.

[Momo]

Haha, I just noticed how universal not reading back in a thread is on the bore.

[Don Flamenco]

I think this is going to be my last month on GAF.

Can't stand the place anymore.

lemme have your account or go out with a bang or something

although last time i tried that, i got premium lager weirdly frozen out of posting...

every time I lose an account, i regret it when I see something I want in the BST thread.

I love Evangeline Lily but that fool is a taco. Whatever happened to Solo?

[Lan]

well i see i havent missed much on gaf.

[Don Flamenco]

Oh look, Duckroll is being an ass again.

I wonder if he tells people in real life that his online handle is the precursor to the rick roll

He's critiquing feminism and posts that shit in another thread. Just too good.

Jesus I never seem to click on Evilore's threads but are the replies always this sycophantic? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=541305

I could read a million baby raping/dog torturing stories and my stomach would be less turned.

Excuse me miss but could you stop using these large words? I don't have enough browser windows open to google the definitions of them.

SO ANYWAYS I was on OKCupid today and this bitch totally friend zoned me! What the fuck GAF?!

Oh wait this is The Bore.

Are you supposed to tip your doctor that performs abortions for you? The reason I ask is because I was talking to this girl that friend-zoned me and she said her parents tipped their doctor when they circumcised her brother. The weird part is that her brother is trans-gendered and I totally don't tolerate that at all.

[MCD]

I'm a virgin. Ask someone else.

Yes. It's what drives me up the wall from him and the mod team.

Also I'm going to say megathreads are the best thing about that board. People afraid to post in megathreads need to get over themselves. Yeah, the hostility in those threads could be lessened but the "new thread, new news" shit along with moving busy threads to community to kill them off is just ugh.

[etiolate]

" Members are afraid to tell interesting personal stories for fear of being derided for any number of reasons. They're afraid to post something they've seen elsewhere to the tune of a hundred "go back to Reddit" replies. They're afraid to post anything that could be posted in an existing megathread due to hostility from that megathread's subcommunity. "

No they aren't and that's exactly the problem with the entire forum right now. People are posting stories that are either boring as hell, completely self-involved or just good old disgusting. Hell, I'll share this sentiment with him.

[Himu]

The entire "let's post gross and depressing news stories" thing started with Gaborn (RIP).

[pilonv1]

I admire him for trying but you cant turn back 5+ years of learned behaviour.

[hampster]

So is evilore going to post a new thread bitching about gaf every ~3 months from now on?

He should just use this thread like everyone else

[pilonv1]

He should just use this thread like everyone else

He did once.

[Don Flamenco]

the problem is when he says something, it seems just as vague and incomplete as when anyone else posts a couple paragraphs analyzing gaf.   what does he want?  his board's culture is never gonna be perfect. 

He needs to hire a clinical sociologist to analyze the board for him   


or alternatively, have mods take care of it and just collect the money. 

[Don Flamenco]

also, wow.   you'd think it was the fucking holocaust

GAF has yet to recover from my departure. No one can fill that void.

People still get their pants wet when my name is brought up. Feels good

It was only a matter of time before the thread turned into that.

[brawndolicious]

Well I did myself the disservice of entering the *BOOK SPOILERS* game of thrones thread. I didn't see any spoilers, just a bag of cunts. And I've never seen a cunt in a bag before.

[Himu]

Yeah, yeah. We get it, non-reader.

[brawndolicious]

Nah I read mother fucka'. I ain't no non-reader, I just ain't no cunt in a bag.

I look in a bag, and I don't want to go in it. I look at all the cunts in their hissing  at anybody who enjoys a little something impure, and I don't want to go in there. I'll suck up all my own pubes until I die before I go in there.

[Himu]

YOU DON'T EAT FRIED CHICKEN WITH YOUR HANDS. YOU ARE WORST THAN A CUNT IN A BAG.

How are the people in the spoiler GoT thread bad? We're a pretty sociable crew.

[brawndolicious]

Just cause I enjoy fried chicken the wrong way. Game of Thrones the wrong way!

It's like you can't be wrong but still feel right.

I avoid that thread now, but when you're not reading the books it's kinda unfun to discuss the show with people fixated on comparing the show to the books rather than judging it on it's own merits.

[Verdigris Murder]

The book Jon Snow was a much better choice of casting imho.

[Verdigris Murder]

Also there's been a noticeable drop off in well crafted word-smithing on neogaf. Is it mostly students and unemployed weirdos mostly?

[nudemacusers]

you cant say taco or distinguished black fellow here, always found that funny

but can you say spic?

edit: yes. my people ignored once again. 

[brob]

wtf macuser I thought you was white people

[Don Flamenco]

can you say distinguished jewish fellow

edit: wow neat, guess they like us kikes here

[nudemacusers]

wtf macuser I thought you was white people

50/50, which means I know how hard it is to be a white male in america AND and a wetback.

It is really odd when someone calls me a wetback/spic/etc because I don't see it at all  .  occasionally some random mexican dude will start talking to me in spanish like I'm supposed to understand it.
 
still hurts tho :'(

[Don Flamenco]

i knew you were too cool to be white

That's why it is the SPOILER thread. And the show is good but most of its "merits" come from being authentic to the books. Any time they flounder and go away from the books (Jon Snow's entire arc this and last season, Dany last season) it makes for BORING television for what is captivating reading. Let's put it this way. Jon Snow is my favorite ASOIAF character and view point. How do yôu think I feel about his povs in the show? They're terrible. The actor is bad. The writing for his segments are bad.

The show has merit, but the quality is all over the place and it is literally impossible for a book fan to not compare to the show as they have made a ridiculous amount of changes.

Well yeah, that all makes sense, I was only pointing out why someone like me would rather tune out that kind of talk. I'll get around to reading the books eventually so someday I'll probably end up whining alongside you guys.

[etiolate]

That's not really that bad or non-reflective of reality. I meet people in real life who happen to browse GAF and that's the general attitude towards it. "What is wrong with that place?" is normally the sort of question I get.

oh well, permabanned for real talk

It's probably also holdover for when he posted here and I was the only one who called him out and he then bailed.

he's trying to micromanage things and it's just not gonna work. 


and here we have him doing the kind of self-policing forum work that you were talking about:

[Shadow Mod]

I've never understood why GAF doesn't have a report function. Why mods aren't pro-active and just let shit run downhill. It all leads to the worst fucking repetitive ass discussions.
