Damn, this is really spreading.

Destructoid: https://www.destructoid.com/neogaf-goes-down-due-to-staff-walk-out-sexual-harassment-allegations-468425.phtml
LeMonde (major French newspaper as far as I know): http://www.lemonde.fr/pixels/article/2017/10/22/le-forum-de-jeux-video-neogaf-hors-ligne-apres-des-accusations-de-harcelement-sexuel-contre-son-pdg_5204441_4408996.html

Seeing large Spanish sites reporting, Italian VG247 and Italian IGN. Going to be very hard to recover anything after this from the ashes. All within 24 hours, this is fascinating to see.

Polygon weighing in

https://www.polygon.com/2017/10/22/16516592/neogaf-tyler-malka-evilore-allegations-shutdown

I hope this is the last time gaming sites cite GAF for anything. It was always ridiculous how often posts would be use as news sources.
It was a really useful aggregate for journalists. They can't follow everything that happens on Twitter themselves, or leaks from some random shop around the world. So getting that forum NeoGAF was a good way to get that kind of news pretty quick.

Forwarded to ArsTechnica - hopefully they pick up on it.

I'm out of the loop on some of these GAF offshoot boards. wth is VOAT?
VOAT was where Neo-cigarillo went after they got kicked off Reddit for doxxing people.  VOAT is probably the most openly venomous and bigoted of the GAF offshoots. 

There's Slaent, which was made after EL purged Footie GAF.  Blackace is there.

Bitching at the moderation of a forum for not sticking to their ToS or having flimsy rules makes you a fuckboy.

No, pining about the GAF strongmen moderators makes you a fuckboy, fuckboy.

Yeah that would make me a fuckboy too. That's not what I did tho. Having strong opinions on how an ~online video game forum~ should or should not be handled is stupid. I go to forums where it seems like cool people hang out. The only rules needed are "don't suck shit" as long as you have half decent mods.

In a good online forum, moderators should barely a presence that mostly address technical problems relating to the forum and prevent abuse of other members. What they shouldn't be doing is curating what people should think and believe. That's what GAF was. Your take on my post was that I bitching about "TOS" when I specifically replied to a post about GAF's flimsy moderation policies.

Thread moving too fast, but I completely agree with the complaints regarding PoliGaf. Nothing worse than a bunch of self-righteous, arrogant, wannabe know-it-alls (and just like everyone else, I hate Trump, too...but there is a way to go about it). And it always bothered me how vocal amirox was over there. Not because he was a predator, but because he was an incendiary, vicious asshole. But I guess you had to subscribe to a certain personality type to be accepted over there. He was treated like an all-knowing God in there.

And Opiate is here, too? Yikes.

Turned out they were fucking in broad daylight, bish had to unban the guy and immediately bailed out of the thread

I think bish was the quintessential internet tough guy. I can't imagine how much of a raging pussy he is in real life.

Let’s pretend that he actually is a pedophile: do you think justice can be brought down upon him via arguing with him on the internet? He’s not gonna come out and say “lol shit guys you caught me! i like to diddle kids!” It just makes more sense to ignore him.

I don't want justice or any of that shit. I just don't want to see any of his posts, ever. If he's here, I'm out. He's only going to invite more of his type and that's not a forum I want to be associated with.

The intensity of your post is straight up shades of Amirox.
 :jared

Fiction is good people and I just find Opiate insufferable in general aside from all this.

(Image removed from quote.)

I always thought Fiction was a great person. No arguments from me there.

I've also thought/think opiate is a good person that was mostly guilty of being a sympathetic devil's advocate on issues where there is little to no gray area.  Even if his arguments were sound, sometimes they were arguments not worth making.  At least, they were the kinds of arguments that were they to be made, they should be made outside a place like Neogaf.

I spent a silly amount of time playing D3 back in the day with Opiate.  He seemed a bit more human there and never have off any weird vibes.  He talked about his girlfriend a bit back then and even made a few jokes about the moderation policy of GAF circa 2012-2013.

I guess I'm just not convinced of the pedo accusations made against him and I don't know how one could reasonably prove that they're not.  Maybe he can clarify the Flickr thing but what can be done to prove a person with the same username is someone else? 

What does working at Toys R Us have to do with being a pedophile?

Some of the reaching to lunch the guy is absurd.

But if I end up being wrong about the guy well fuck I'm a fucking idiot.
