Maybe the real NeoGAF was the friends we made along the way...

[benjipwns]

why would she have lied?

why was your first published statement on this grounded in blaming her mental illness?

why is anyone buying the same dismissive bullshit excuse that countless other gross men have used?

to try and blame this on political discussion on gaf makes no sense.

what happened to believing woman?

gaf has been my favorite website for over seven years now, but this is just horrifically disappointing. when gamergate started, gaf felt like the only place that was willing to stand up against them. now that just feels empty and preformative.

Evillore was never what drew me to gaf, but I can’t stomach contributing to this guy’s finances anymore. you can’t ignore the sickness that exists at the top level of this community.

the gaf I spent days on wouldn’t have ignored this if it was any other website.

fuck him, fuck this, thank you to the community for the last seven years of posting and lurking, and thanks to all the mods.

bye.

no way the forum continues long-term (or maybe even short-term) without turning into an alt-right haven

anonymous moderation is probably the worst possible change he could make

Heres the rub though, if he does open up registrations now to just embrace this shit, he might be just as likely to invite in the recently created army of left-wing trolls that want to get a few more 15 seconds of fame and lols for the new community(and some Borean's know they would have a bit of fun for a minute).

But that still might be his best bet, just blow the doors open and grab all you can until the place is destroyed. You certainly aren't going to be able to sell this butchered asset anymore.

If Tyler said "Fuck it" and let the forum be a open warfare of Trolls trolling trolls he could make decent cash before going out. Both left and right are waiting for a open warfare shit place that not even 4chan maintains anymore.

Honestly, I don’t think GAF is dead.

In 2 weeks it will be back to mainly gaming shit. A lot of the sjw types will self-segregate, and the breezy limbos and whoever else will be gone for good. But my guess is like 95% of GAF traffic really doesn’t give a shit about how many asses Evilore grabbed or even who Evilore is.

Honestly GAF will be better with less topics about how breath of the wild sucks because you can’t choose to play as a girl link.

Been here for ages, though I lurked more than I participated. Had no idea about the Amirox thing till this whole thing blew up recently and I did some 'external' reading. I don't know what to believe anymore.

I'm going to say I'm disappointed that there are so many account suicides.

I think we could still keep our maturity in check, even when emotions are high flying.

Without approving or disapproving of anyone's actions, just ask yourself is this how you really saw the GAF community all these years? Just ready to throw yourself away instead of sitting down and having a conversation?

I really like how none of the people hyper pissed about this were this pissed about one of GAF's most beloved leaders and members being a kiddy diddler.

[Great Rumbler]

No love for Bobby Roberts on the GAF? For shame.

[Dougstyles]

gotta give evilore credit for doing the impossible and actually purging neogaf of its raging ideological cancer

perhaps walking into that shower was part of his plan all along

[I'm a Puppy!]

So, the question is, when Evilore goes out on the public speaking circuit about how Gamer Gate ruined his "career" and it's ill effects with Anita and Brianna....which will he harass first?

[Boredfrom]

tyler's weasley statement is basically a declaration of solidarity with antifeminists, so he's going to attract those guys while still trying to maintain the kayfabe that Neogaf is a progressive gaming forum

That place is dead. Only sycophants will remain. The locked threads over there are the best thing that site has seen in years. I was permabanned years ago but the people going out over there and in grand style my hat is off to you. Everyone is Nux yelling Witness Me!

[benjipwns]

Glad to see the site back. I check it compulsively, so my weekend didn't feel right.

We just witnessed an attempted coup by the former mods over a unsubstantiated facebook post. People are trying to break up the community and steal members, and that's pretty shameful.

[benjipwns]

So I just want to say two separate things: NeoGAF has been a big part of my life for 10 years now. I was banned under the 'omg rite' for being too argumentative. And I was, I was an ass. But I read it every day and I still felt like I was part of the community.

In maybe January of this year, after being off for a few years, I commented on one of Tyler's tweets, thanking him for a progressive announcement he had made. Stump reached out to me via a DM and said they were unbanning me. He helped me change my name to ZeoVGM and set up a new email. I was floored and so damn happy to be part of the community again.

I'm close to going down a ranting hole but my point is, I love this community and I hate that it seems to be imploding after becoming part of it again this year. Obviously, with the accusations, that is not the most important aspect of this story. But I just wanted to get that out there.

The other thing I wanted to comment on is the decision that was made about the OT.

While I partly understand keeping it closed for a little bit after what happened, I deeply disagree with the choice to keep politics out of the OT after.

NeoGAF's community and reaction toward current events and politics is part of what makes the site what it is. Banning talk of that, to be quite honest, is giving a big win to GamerGate and every other racist, sexist, homophobic, piece of trash group out there.

The reason that disgusting group on not-Reddit exists is because those people are full of hate and they despise the fact that GAF is one of the most progressive and open communities in gaming. If GAF is going to continue, that shouldn't be thrown away. Yes, it can be difficult at time. That's okay.

What's happening in the world right now is important and this community is on the right side of history. Don't silence that, guys.

[Boredfrom]

So, the question is, when Evilore goes out on the public speaking circuit about how Gamer Gate ruined his "career" and it's ill effects with Anita and Brianna....which will he harass first?

Anita is not going to accept his ass, Brianna may be given how many bridges she burned.

But is more likely he ends working in a McDonalds

[agrajag]

lol my ban message never gets old

You have been banned for the following reason:
You have a point about the way in that GAF is sometimes hard to post on if you're in the minority. But then I checked your ban record (11 bans by 10 mods, many for personal attacks). I get it, you think GAFfers are dumb SJW special fellow cunts who aren't worth talking to. Let me improve your quality of life. Now you don't need to put up with us.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

They start off by saying I have a point!

Did anyone here really care about internal, private drama while we were posting away about games, politics and other nonsense? I stayed here for news and for friends. I hope the virtuous revolutionary defectors are doing background checks on their McDonald's store manager before allowing them to get that $5 profit from them during their lunch breaks, you know just in case they're financially supporting an evil doer.

But what is the talent and contribution exodus going to be like?

I think part of the potential problem there is that the casual that comes there does so IMO because of the depth of content, news aggregation, expansive game communities, and crowd sourcing of gaming knowledge, and if you lose a lot of the contributors that built up that ecosystem, you just sort of have something akin to any other low to mid-sized gaming forum.

"I am a raging alcoholic. No lie, I am having my third 75/25 Jack Coke right now. I have no regrets, it's who I am.

I'm divorced, somewhat from my own faults and somewhat from hers. It happens.

I have a few kids out there. One I know for sure to be mine, but I ain't paying for any of them. That makes me a deadbeat father I guess.

I work a dead end job, making dead end money, which is a situation that will never improve due to my lack of education and the motivation to further it.

I'll never be internet famous (infamous?) like you. But thats probably for the better.

In the end I will die alone, unloved, and forgotten. Buried in a paupers grave with nobody to mourn my loss.

BUt you know what you slimey piece of shit? None of that matters, because at least I can say this: I NEVER SEXUALLY ASSAULTED A WOMAN AND BLAMED HER. Seriously, you fucking pathetic spec of a man, that alone makes you far worse than me. And here's why...

1: I will die forgotten, you will live on forever on the internet as the rapist who ran a gaming forum.

2: Same as number one. (I'm working back here, did your elf intelligence pick that up yet?)

3: You life was this forum, which will now forever be tainted by the RAPIST that runs it. It is your legacy.

4: My kids will never know me, and never know my sins. Any child unfortunate to have you as a father will eventually google their daddies name, and then have to ask you sexually assaulted women. Have fun with that.

5: Any woman that knows you will know your game. Good luck finding true love now, you don't deserve it.

6: If you aren't a raging booze hound yet, you will be soon. As your world crumbles around you, and everything you have worked so hard for vanishes, that bottle will just look better and better. You'll give in, it's only a matter of time.

All in all, you're a fuckstain upon the gaming community at large and quite frankly an amazingly ugly human being. Enjoy watching your empire burn, because lord knows the rest of us are.

P.S: With an apology like that, GAF isn't the place to post. If you want to play the victim in all of this and be held like a baby, go to 4chan. I hear they love people that victim blame and treat women as objects. You'll fit right in."

A burn so intense I dropped my phone.

[Tiops]

What a shitshow, LMAO. I wonder if the community will stabilize at some point or if they'll just give up before that.

Also, what's the point of posting there just to ask to be banned?

[benjipwns]

One question:
Since the intent is to try and make this a more hobby oriented, less political site, and since moderation changes are going to take place, and since the goal is to make the site return to being a place to gather to discuss and enjoy video games:

Will there still be bans made on the discussion of certain games that come out? As it was before:
Huniepop 2
Dungeon Travelers 2: The Royal Library & the Monster Seal
Hatred
Criminal Girls: Invite Only
Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors
Monster Monpiece
Moero Chronicle
Moero Crystal
were all banned from discussion, and no one could make threads on them. You couldn't even make threads to discuss them in a negative sense; people simply weren't allowed to talk about them, and for some of them, the reasons were very political and were focused on and associated with who was developing them. Huniepop 2 in particular suffered this especially. I know a lot of people liked Huniepop (I thought it was decent though it suffers a bit as a dating sim since you're encouraged to date everyone), and Huniecam was...liked by a couple people I guess. I was disappointed when Huniepop 2 was banned, and I believe there may have been at least a few people who would've liked to have been able to speculate about the game as well as discuss and compare it on release.

Will things still be this way? The disallowance of certain games from being discussed was one of my past grievances with Neogaf. None of these games were pornographic, and they were games sold in the West with many different aspects (gameplay mechanics, music, art, story, etc) that could be discussed about them. I always found it tragic that people weren't allowed to discuss certain types of games here, as this is a gaming website at the end of the day. Even if you don't like them, is it not important to be able to talk about and say so? To complain and say why these games are bad in various aspects?
