Oh I went back a page. Gondo definitely got BlueMax'd.

You can't call him out on his own forum is what he told me. I mean when I called out moderation I didn't even specifically name anyone and what I wrote was a lot more in depth and nuanced than what Gondo did but to EviLore it doesn't matter. He can not be questioned. He is not on equal footing with everyone else on the forum.

Nothing really came of that, did it? I figured he was gearing up to sell the site, but it kinda was just this little blip of media attention that fizzled into nothing?

I don't get it.

4 years ago. GamePro did a profile on NeoGAF, then sank. Evilore went to E3, was on the GiantBomb podcast and totally ignored (

) while they talked about shit no one cared about. Then he was denied a pass to E3 a year or so ago. MajorNelson said he'd get him a pass. But Evilore passed because it was "beneath him" to take "corporate handouts" and somehow went to E3 anyway. Shook hands with MajorNelson and was "slighted" somehow. Now we're here.

Disagree. Moot won. He cashed out, he doesn't need the "fame" of the internet anymore. And basically sold his site to someone that can "run" it despite the questionable shit (selling user data). Despite his "flops" (DAE remember Canvas or whatever it was called?), he still got out clean.

Evilore is going to crash. I didn't even read the Gamepro article, but I know it made no splash for 'Lore. I really wonder how much he paid for that sucking off on a dying medium for the gaming enthusiasts.

Never been to 4chan outside a couple pokes in my early teens, but in the past couple years moot has been doing some amazing stuff. What tickles my fancy most is when he talks about web development and startups and it really seems like he's not only quite knowledgeable about it, but humble as well which is hard to come by.

As far as I know. Even if he didn't, he doesn't want to run the site anymore. He "sold" it to the 2channel dude just today. He's washing his hands of it (as if he didn't in January). He's "clean." 4chan's problems or hosting issues aren't his problem anymore.

Compare it to Evilore who wants to drum up hype for his site but continues to face-plant.

Also I think this is the GamePro article but I can't say for sure: http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/339752/story_neogaf_aka_crappy_club_jerks_/

He got a lot of respect, dude. I wouldn't say in terms of girlfriends, but he's dating a girl currently. He did reasonable cons when he was 17-18 (I remember going to the VERY FIRST con event he did for Otakon 2005 and him and WT Snacks being there and hosting the Japanese Porn con event) and the community liked him for better or worse.

Time did articles on him, as did Wired and his "anonymous internet is good for everyone" view points.

Love him or hate him, he certainly was respected.

True, but where I was coming from is how with Evilore's Euro trip he seemed like a braggart when it came to him being the owner of a videogame forum. Moot has definitely done more, and he seems like a good dude.

Learning from your creation or something you've operated is definitely different than taking credit for something and running with it. Moot would say he was a player in fostering an anonymous web, Evilore would probably say NeoGaf is one of a kind, a gem when it comes to videogame forums (

Hiroyuki was ousted from 2ch for selling user data to marketers, and censoring negative comments about several companies that had paid him to do so. After he was fired, he tried several tactics to gain control over 2ch including abusing DNS, DDOS and creating a fake version of 2ch that grabbed all the comments from the real 2ch automatically. His webcrawlers continue to mirror 2ch posts to this day, causing great strain on 2ch servers.

Not like 4chan hasn't been bad since the Habbo raids, that was the signal of a bunch of 13 year olds invading.

Some of us were alive while you were sperm in your daddy's sack, yes.

And yes, /v/ in the early board introduction was farrrr more civil than it is now. It was like /vr/ is but with modern titles. No trollin', no hostility. It was pretty refreshing compared to /b/ and GameFAQs, et. al. of the time.

The reason he gets my respect versus 'lore or Lowtax is that moot at least "got" 4chan's culture, given he built the board to discuss anime in 2003/when he was in his teens. He was at least able to keep up on 4chan's "culture" and memes. Something that would drive Lowtax and Evilore insane: letting the community be a community.
