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

[Cindi Mayweather]

Okay, since it's now the RESET era. I propose a suggestion:

We keep this thread until neogaf dies and then kill this thread, never to return, into the ether.

You could convince yourself that Reset is gaf, but it's not. I say we end this thread once gaf coughs up its last breath. Which at this rate, will be within the year.

Who is with me? Not only has this thread brought some of the worst of the worst who think this is an alt right enclave, but people looking from the outside actually think we are nazis/gg'ers/red pill/mra/alt right because of the fact we keep these people around to remind ourselves that "at least I'm not that".

The thread is  bad but honestly I think it serves a purpose. It quarantines. It allows venting. It allows (rarely) actual good insight on the meta of other forums. And for better or worse it even allows people of ideologies I don't personally agree with and generally detest to say things. (alt right types, gg types, etc)

I think the thread should stay. It doesn't matter to me what outside people think of it. We know the truth about it. And that's more important.

But that's just my take. Like a lot of things, I don't care strongly enough to have a solid opinion on it.

At the same time, it doesn't feel like it's necessary anymore. We won. Evilbore won. Gaf is dying. When this place was made it was because gaf and EviLore and his ad crap. We've kept this thread as a sort of uhhhhh tribute to those humble beginnings. With gaf dying, it just doesn't feel necessary anymore. We will outlive gaf, making this thread redundant. And now we invite people we otherwise wouldn't want because we're too dumb (naive) to not believe in filters or censorship. I think it should go. It's time. We don't need it anymore. That said, I can completely understand your viewpoint to a T.

There is basically a GAF-verse now. It's compromised of GAF 2.0, Slaent, ERA, The Bore, and other smaller communities.

A certain someone had a mental breakdown and within that breakdown they accused people here of ridiculous things. You should realize that such is par for the course. It is better to be the person slandered as alt-right than be the person making that claim or the "ally" to that person.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Okay so, although we have different ideas on what to do with this thread I think most of us can agree that it's time for Etoliate to go. The guy left of his own will during Gamergate when we clowned him, Magus, and Damian for supporting GG, but has since decided to "grace" us with his presence since. I think it's time for a good old fashion trial by Bore.

I wonder what amir0xs alt is at reset

Do inmates get access to the internet? Serious question, I don't think they do in the US.

I think it's possible for certain inmates in certain institutions. But considering what Amir0x is in the clink for, he probably won't be allowed internet access even after he eventually gets released.

No way. I want this thread open in twenty years so we can get reports on which truck stop Evilore is sucking dick for meth at. Neogaf isn’t dead yet, either. It’s decomposition needs documenting. And Evilore has many more amusingly terrible decidions to make.

As a redwings fan I stopped crying about 5 years ago when it became clear our franchise was in, and would stay in, the shitter for the forseeable future.  Ken Holland still being GM amazes me.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

It's pretty easy to explain why Evilore is such a douchebag.  He made six figures off of GAF before he could legally drink.  He made shitloads of money without doing any real actual work, complete with asskissers who wanted to get a tag or be on the mod short list.  He dated ex models, his friends had Playboy playmates for sisters, traveled the world, and was able to do all that and fight a thousand fights while working 160 hours per week.  He's so unlikable because he hasn't been grounded in reality for almost 15 years.  Not that I sympathize but my point is that he doesn't get it and never will get it.

The sad part about all this is that he will end up getting a job somewhere in the gaming industry with likely an overinflated salary.  The world ain't fair.

[Forgotten A. Turnbuckle]

Man, either the mods are really asleep at the wheel at Neogaf or they're adopting a way more lax moderation policy.
It'd actually be nice if it's the latter.  Might actually be a forum worth a damn again if they do.

I'm just pretending not to be a hockey fan for awhile. 
It was always just #3 on my favorite sports list.  I was spoiled by the Redwings throughout my formative years.

Baseball is my #1.  They were the worst team throughout my childhood and will be godawful again until my son starts college (he's only two atm).  Yet here I am rooting like hell for the Astros.

I could probably only name 5 Redwings on the active roster atm.
Probably could only name another dozen NHL players altogether that are still playing

BTW, just saying the name "Chicago White Sox" is triggers me.

Looking at the Wolfenstein thread, I'd prob get a ban or warning at RE for this: I'm shocked and grossed out over the blatant consumerism and hijacking of anger to sell you a video game and people are lapping it up like the marketing team are fighting with them in the streets.

Yes. I'm talking specifically about their online marketing campaign for the game, not that it's a game with Nazis in 2017 or that it's a 30 year old franchise with Nazis. Specifically the marketing for this specific game directly bottling and selling anger and fears over white nationalism and neo-nazism in America for social media buzz.

Which thread?  Just glanced at the last 200 posts of the official thread and no one is even mentioning the marketing.  It's a popular game series whose last iteration was heavily praised.

I can't imagine being someone who gets upset that a company that sells a game abou killing nazis referenced a "punch a nazi" meme in their marketing.  LOL, what's that like?

I'm not upset about, I just find it curious that a company tapping into the zeitgiest where people have actually died in the streets of America for meme credit to sell their product isn't upsetting or tasteless to the same type of people who tried to boycott Pepsi over the Jenner ad.

Instead, people are literally YEAH I CAN'T WAIT TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY FOR THIS.

Ah, gotcha.  You seem upset tho lol.

I just don't care;  and  the 2 situations are not really all that similar.  The Pepsi ad didn't offend people because it referenced a social issue; it offended people because it showed Jenner offering a cop standing by at a protest a Pepsi, with the message that the tension could all be solved by offering cops Pepsis.  This is a game about nazi killing, referencing anger regarding white nationalism (including people who flaunt nazi symbols.)   They were offended by the messaging in the Pepsi ad;  yes people also bashed the general idea of corporations using social issues in their ads, but the root of the anger wasn't really from that.

I'm a weirdo who also thinks its weird that people have been happy to profit off of Nazis and their atrocities in all forms of entertainment since WWII. It doesn't upset me, but I have thought it was bizarrely exploitative and curious that no one seems to mind people getting rich off of selling images of Nazis for entertainment since I was a kid. Actually, all the games set in real wars always rubbed me in a funny, not quite harmonious way as well, but it is what it is.

Most of my genuine distaste for GAF centered around the shitheel of an owner and that many of the more vocal members of off-topic were a bunch of hypocrites for continuing to post on a forum owned by a trashy, thin skinned PUA. Seeing prominent GAFers (and mods too, TBH) swallow their tongues when it came to certain subjects just because they valued their positions/accounts too much drove me crazy. That was all magnified x10 after the bullshit amir0x response. 

Seeing EviLore rightfully humiliated (completely due to his mounting number of fuckups and poor response to said fuckups, by the way) and most of the users of the site finally moving on to something else, it has a sense of finality to it as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure there will be some comedy to be found on the new site but it just feels different, yeah? I don't hate the userbase as a whole. Some of them are young and naive but that is to be expected on a board about video games. Some of them are too far up their own asses but I don't blame anyone for trying to find a refuge when most of the internet can be pretty uninviting and hostile.

My main motivational factor for posting so much in this thread is gone. The dragon has been slain. I even respect the community for picking up the pieces the way they have. I do get a genuine kick out of meta-discussion but even if this thread sticks around I'm probably done with it anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if most other posters start to feel the same way once they figure out resetera won't offer the same amount of meta content that GAF did.

Pretty much. But don't forget that some of them had their own issues (specifically targeting users, broadly banning users, basing perm bans on whether they like certain game series etc).
