I knew something was off when they mandated the Amirox gag order. No morally right site would ever force its users from taking about one of the biggest personalities on its sites being convicted of having of kiddie porn (one of which includes a naked 3 three year old :kobeyuck) in order to save face. Either Ami had something on Evi and Evi too was a pedo, or Evi has done worse things than the infamous Spain incident, or it was just general solidarity done from creep to creep. And now we've got this. I feel sorry for the good mods who are going to have to deal with even more of Evi's shit. They just wanted e-glory and inside game scoopz. They don't deserve this shit and now they're going to be forced to mop up another mess and put away any sense of self respect while doing so.

I don't understand thinking of Tyler as a semi-famous or powerful person. The story also plays out like he's just a socially distinguished mentally-challenged wanna be player that thought he could be a Hefner at a girl throwing up.

It really makes you think how the mod gaggle went down when the Amir0x gag directive was given and how the mods justified going along with it.

Another thing, there are no "good mods" at this point, as far as I'm concerned. They're turning a blind eye to all this shit, so they hitched their "online reputation" (whatever it's worth) to Evilore wherever that may lead.

I guess I just don't understand. I'd see through his BS in the first encounter. Online, he could ban anyone who sees through him and filter down his associates to useful idiots and sycophants. Can't do that in real life unless you have actual power, which he doesn't.

He's probably in some tiny Austin clique that he's shit scared of losing, but for which there is constant drama within anyways.

I don't. The moment they were asked to do clean up duty for a pedophile is the moment any half-way sensible person should've cut and run. NeoGAF's userbase was already known to be far from normal before then. If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

I gotta read my ban message again for the fuckery and lolz in light of all this.

You've been here for over a decade, and during that time you've largely made the forum a worse place by being a mean angry person who demands attention 24/7. Projecting your own insecurities by yelling at others is not healthy adult behavior. I hope for your sake that you find something to belong to and that it gives you happiness in life, but you are not welcome here.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

It's kind of hard to rate evilore's fame in the sense whether we would see articles about him even within gaming publications. NeoGAF is big as a news source, at least among journos, but it would be pretty unnerving if lore finds himself right in the sweet spot of being too unimportant to be pressured by allegations and important enough to affect narratives in the media, like a cockroach hiding inside the wall. If that's the case, the only thing that could hurt lore is a mass revolt by the mods.

I still find myself a little wary, because it really did seem like a voat thing, but seems like it's been "verified".

Neogaf doesn't exist in anyone's mind outside of the more intense gaming community and within that it only exists within certain age and exposure groups. New fanatics will filter into reddit or discord, not using forums at all.

It's not like 4chan or something awful. It doesn't exist in internet culture as a thing. It's purely just within gaming. These days, people only hear of it as a joke or for stuff like amirox.

I figure well all know that the dude lives in a fragile little snowglobe where within he created the internet beacon NeoGAF that he shepherds with wisdom beyond his years but outside of that thin glass shell is the reality that he had a forum handed off to him with little thought and the populace of that forum busted some leaks and grew immensely with little to do with him, and then the internet aged, everyone moved on and nobody in the community or the industry cares now.

GAF as a forum and GAF as a news source are at two different places. It does get referenced relatively often as a source and many game journos are lazy enough to just take threads and turn them into articles. There's no question that many of the people running big videogame podcasts are reading GAF (perhaps at a surface-level). I've often see people quote new thread bots on twitter as if it was a news aggregate. Lore knows the discussion forum of the equation isn't where he gets his money (though he seems to go as far to think he can make it his plaything without any negative consequences), which is why he prioritizes new threads and doesn't push community threads.

The whole thing's an unfortunate mess.

There are people cheering this information and that's a real shame. I feel like some of social media is stuck in this "got 'em" mode, but not for any benefit of the victims. "Name and shame and relive this nightmare so we can revel in dragging some creep's sorry ass! You name, we shame! On to the next one!"

The people who should really reflect on this information are the people who will willfully dismiss it as some sort of hit piece because of the sources (VOAT, some guy that got banned from GAF, gaterz).

Poly's ban message should tell you everything you need to know about that place.

The admin posture isn't nearly as important as you may think it is. We've seen discord caps of people fairly dismissive of him, including how commited he is to some causes (though it often starts over disagreements on bans or community threads). Hell, it's not rare to see people lament the bishop days with the clear implications that the rest of the mod team is not doing enough to rein in Russians / Gamergators / what have you.

A lot of gaffers are content to use the forum as long as the place is tolerable and the admin isn't antagonizing them at every turn. And I'd say Lore knows this : Apart from the occasional grand statement, he's mostly absent. He certainly learnt to stop turning the place as a livejournal for his adventures.

Besides I don't think he was calculating the rainbow banner or that Paris treaty thread.

There's some clique-ish ness to do with it. The pandering, awful tripe that aims to be a game journo come from a place like neogaf, so they will credit the site when they make a fuss over something and they lazily copy that fuss to make it an article. The question is how many people actually read a Polygon in the first place? It's probably the same small pop that exists in GAF.

Curious how long were you a member?  And ~post total?

This is disgusting.  Being a gaf mod is more important than the progressiveness and social justice they tout... not that denouncing sexual harassment means you're an extreme liberal.  It's just basic human decency to not want a naked skinny-fat elf walking into your shower uninvited, regardless of your beliefs.
