You get NeoGAF already isn’t, right?! The community left is GamerGate/4chan and those too simple/ignorant to understand what’s happening. Hatred is not okay to stand by and let roll.

Also those nice detailed threads you enjoyed were made by hard working progressive members that already left or are going to. Conservative red neck assholes aren’t going to put the work in for detailed write ups and elaborate OTs. They are too lazy and complain about anything that their delicate snowflake eyes can’t handle seeing about social and environmental issues.

Man this is the first OT I know of that has happened since all this went down, we didn't know the game was going to be shown off in advance so it's not like an OT was prepped, you could call it comparatively low effort but it's as bloated and horrible as any OT has ever been.

So did NPD ask who it was? Or did EL ban the account just to be safe?

To my knowledge NPD never inquired about the account. The NPD_mulcair account was just banned because it was an alt account misrepresenting its credentials as an NPD employee. The original sob story about NPD ninjas out to get them and needing to quit the forum came immediately after a request for a better tag from “GAF’s waifu” (or something, I don’t remember exactly) resulted in the tag being reverted to Member.

It’s possible that everything that was shared on Chartz is 100% true. I don’t know or care anymore.

Reset is actively destroying gaf former communities already brehs.

They been coming into ppls discords full of people who don't want the Reseti, and are like,"JOIN OUR FORUM. WHO IS OUR REP." and people don't want them there, but they strong arm their way in some how. Then they start seeing that you were the "trash" of gaf (and by that I mean having your own opinions) and it turns into fucking war because you have said NO to their forum apparently.

I am reading this from at least three different people.

They are literally satiating their desires for a Gulag.

It’s proprietary data. You’re not allowed to publicly dump the raw data even if you have legitimate access to it.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1454700

Apparently some NeoGAF users are getting their accounts banned because they used to verify their Discord ID by PMing other GAFfers with their Discord credentials, in order to prove their identity and be able to register on the new forum. It's not clear if some mods are manually banning those people or if there's some kind of script. What's certain is that someone high up is deliberately going through them, and that's a huge invasion of privacy and breach of trust.

I would be surprised subscribers are allowed to publicize NPD numbers (beyond the chart with no sales number attached you see everywhere, maybe I'm thinking of another organization). I mean the whole point of their business is making people pay to access it.

I know, but presumably they offer specific licenses that allow publication. After all, the console makers occasionally do post numbers.

Apparently (someone can correct me) A lot of companies use it for forecasting. So the in depth data subscription was apparently very pricey more than EL could probably afford or want to pay for certainly. Ditto these game websites. They took the top ten scraps that were thrown their way with no official sales numbers and then later maybe a few numbers from someone who had access to the hard data.

And some massaged numbers from the game company PR arms

At the very least, I've always appreciated OTs without the lolsowitty titles that losers spend pages trying to claim.

Back when they kicked out Aquamarine/NDP Mulcair and no one took their place I thought it was the beginning of the end for NeoGAF.

I never understand why did they did that (or missed it, i guess)?

Aqua had an alt, George, so y2k banned her.  Nuking her and zhuge killed salesgaf.

That's not what happened, NPD threatened legal action against Malka over the leaked data being posted. Lore instantly rolled over and gave them all Aqua's details aand since she had to have a paid email of course, it was easily traced back to her job related to NPD and she had to request a ban in order to keep her job

IIRC, she later got official permission by her employer to post the numbers, and that's what she used the Mulcair alt account for. But since alts were not allowed, they (Y2Kev) banned her again.

 

My general feeling was that whenever someone got popular or more popular than the mods themselves he or she would be banned.

It happened to me without reason when I was at the top of my game. At some point I had acquired ExciteBots screenshots before anyone else on the planet.
Aqua and Zhuge were also great assets to the community as well as Wario64. These members literally made the board valuable and the mods shat on them.
To this day I think it was Amirox who banned me because he disliked me in general. Although I suspected Opiate too as I had some run ins with him.

I won't lie I was pretty devastated when I got banned. I had so much information sitting in my PM box. Like proof that Nintendo and Nokia once had a deal from a guy who claimed he was the son of Nokia's CEO at that time.
He was even able to proof the whole thing with transcripts from a meeting that was attended by Yamauchi himself. Shiggy and myself would share a wealth of Rare gossip and rumors directly from the developers. A lot happened in those PM boxes.

As soon as you got popular or you'd question the mods they'd nuke you one way or another.

[Dennis]

I think maybe the protesters have mostly cleared out of GAF.

Seems like the account suicide threads are met with derision from the remaining gaffers.

Right. But they would only speak in non-specific terms. Like Sony might say “The PS4 was the #1 selling console this month” but they wouldn’t post the actual numbers associated with each console manufacturer.

I think their rationale was that if you got very popular you'd be a threat to them. Because members would be like:
"I wonder what Nintex thinks about this" or "Wario64 posted this yesterday Amirox"

That probably drove them nuts if they covered for Evilore harrasment and Amirox pedo hobbies for free and someone else got the same perks.

In 2017 NeoGAF I probably wouldn't last a day. Hell, I lost some Twitter followers because I stalked Americans all night on Twitter saying:
"Trump's got this in the bag!" as they posted the 99% - 1% odds.
As soon as the states rolled in: "Florida's red next, folks" and all they did was respond with: "THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!!1" and half of my Twitter contacts are/were GAF people.

Even placed a 16:1 bet on some gambling site and made 4k. Best US President Ever.
