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

[benjipwns]

statement is incoming. Keep in mind that shitposting like this slows down the response

I still believe in this site. It must be very stressful but keeping doing what you must do.

Introducing our new moderator! You may know him from his ability to measure the polygon count of games while playing them.

[railGUN]

Site is 503 again for me.

Literally more traffic there for EviLore drama than people excited for new video game announcements during the biggest convention of the year (that EviLore isn't invited to) 

[FartOfWar]

Anyone have screencaps of the calm from a 100 fights or 160 work week treasures?

It's one of my favorite written works in the history of mankind personally.  The entire post is golden, not just the thousand fights claim.

See, the problem is that I can't just randomly talk about all the crazy shit. I can't just bring up that I did a 30 mile illegal mountain race in pouring rain at an average speed of 120 miles per hour, water shooting up so many feet in the air. I can't randomly say that I've illegally hiked through the side of the Grand Canyon and had to freestyle mountain climb back to safety, as every other handhold broke away with my back to certain death, then uncontrollably slide down to the ranger checkpoint and get impaled by a desert plant on my way down, luckily deciding earlier to have brought a quikclot pack with me. I can't say that I swam in a ridiculously strong riptide in Hawaii and had to barely make it to a coral reef and drag myself inch by inch along the reef back to shore, being gashed by the reef in a hundred different places, then smear sand in the wounds until they stopped bleeding, the ground soaked with blood, then walk miles back to my car, barefoot.

Not even that I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and that I'll look anyone in the eyes, calm and resolved from a thousand fights.

Yes! I need caps for twitter though.

[SantaC]

So bish takes over neogaf as an owner? Or is the site going to be nuked.

[Sugar Pie Honey Bunch]

What are the odds that more mods actually quit but rather than announce it, they just up and left without saying anything?

Probably pretty high. Anyone left is going to be viewed as an enabler when this shit spreads wide.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I'm putting my money on Evilore hoping the whole thing blows over and then when it does, lock, ban, and delete as per the usual.  As we saw here, there are a bunch of waterheads who want their hugbox echochamber and are scared of coming across opinions that they don't share.  NeoGAF will keep chugging along, even if it is with a lot less people than now (which was already a lot less than the site's heyday from 2010-2013).

[vas_a_morir]

This is like the answer to an age-old philisophical question.

If an Admin is all-powerful, could he create a forum with such high Social Justice standards that even HE couldn't survive in it?

lmao

I’d love to hear how one comes to that conclusion since GAF is where the IRL harassers and pedos are camped out.

Let's be fair, this thread certainly travels into some of the same waters as VOAT, Kiwifarms and al. There's not a lot to be proud of here. Let people read us and be the judge of it.

What a coincidence that all those mods are getting doxxed & stepping down as a result the same day some allegations surfaced on GAF tho.

[thisismyusername]

GAF going down more often than Evilore has gone down on a woman.

[Dennis]

Crushed(EmCee) is out

So many jobs.

There's a number of them who don't log in for months on end. And that's been the case for a while. ConfusingJazz hadn't logged in for six months, etc.

[Mupepe]

Can i get a tl;dr with what happened at neogaf?

[Tasty]

EmCeeGramr/Crushed is out now too.

[Partition]

Evilore just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about forum culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in real life where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over online (and in the shower), you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the gaming public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to subscribe to disable ad-block, nor will they subscribe to GAF Gold. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Evilore has alienated an entire market with this move.

Evilore, publicly apologize or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I think you underestimate how obsessed and addicted to GAF many of it's members are. It's literally stopping people from killing themselves, apparently.

He will lose a huge chunk of OT that actually cares about these things, but I don't imagine this doing fuck all to gaming side's popularity.

[vas_a_morir]

Can i get a tl;dr with what happened at neogaf?

Sure. Over the last few years, but really since Donald Trump bragged about sexual assault, the left really hardened around the idea that there is an environment where powerful men abuse their power to sexually assault women and pressure them into sexual favors. Evilore had many experiences like this, but years ago people laughed them off.

Now, with the Weinstein fervor, more and more women are speaking out about this. The forum was 100% hard in on the 'you fuck up once, you are dead for life to us" mentality and Evilore had more than one accusation of sexual assault out there.  Someone spoke up about Evilore jumping into her shower uninvited while he was naked. The people of GAF demanded a statement and none came forward. All the mods are quitting and the forum is in complete chaos.

About ten minutes ago, the Truman show went to static.  This may really be the end.

[Tasty]

STUMP IS OUT

[SantaC]

Is modbot = evilore

[etiolate]

Can i get a tl;dr with what happened at neogaf?

image gets passed around of a girl accusing evilore of sexual assault on facebook

it was confirmed as real by poly

image starts to pass around twitter

today it finally hit neogaf itself

thread locks, bans

Mods leaving left and right, nuking their own accounts

Modbot tells everyone "THERE WILL BE A STATEMENT"

Apparently Evilore is saying it was part of some love triangle drug and sex-cult he was in.

Mods not buying it, leaving town

Let's not act like he didn't stumble over a very, very low bar here. That the community (so far) is unforgiving about it is actually a pretty nice outcome.

[Great Rumbler]

Personally, I'm proud that The Bore year ago broke ties with serial sexual assaulter and pedophile harborer Evilore by changing our name to something that doesn't carry such disgusting baggage. 

[Tasty]

No, he is the Weinstein

[EightBitNate]

This is the top 5 best days of my life

[Nintex]

The mods probably all have to pledge loyalty and are out otherwise.

[helios]

Stump is out

Man, this is like some election night coverage

[Mr. Nobody]

slaent still beliving in the bore boogeyman like they weren't just considered the same from gaf 

[nudemacusers]

This went wild goddamn.

[thisismyusername]

Is modbot = evilore

No, it's a stump IRC bot creation for anonymous modding. With Stump being out now, does that mean he'll rip out Modbot?

THE BORE IS SLOWING DOWN. DEMI WE NEED MORE HORSEPOWER. AWOOOOOOGA.

[benjipwns]

Can i get a tl;dr with what happened at neogaf?

they couldn't keep the evilore cat in the bag and it started to spread, mods/admins have left en masse including Stump/besada/Cyan/charlequin, the rest have seemingly given up trying to herd the forum especially now that the server is collapsing under the weight of the traffic

evilore will issue a statement once everyone stops shitposting apparently, even though he's bailed out seemingly

[Mr Gilhaney]

Someone send amirox a letter to let him know. It's our duty as a community to keep him informed, even as he is wrongfully imprisoned.

[Takao]

This is the top 5 best days of my life

Please go out more.

[Rman]

Wow! Stump created modbot right?

[etiolate]

Slaent left GAF to be just like GAF

[VomKriege]

So what's the list of recently leaving mods ?

Xander Cage
Kabouter
besada
Cyan
Charlequin
EmCeeGrammar
Stump

Hey you fatty lurkers if you want to keep getting juicy Bore gossips please send demi nudes thanks.

You guys are cool, right?

Just getting 503s here

[railGUN]

Site 503, can't be reached.

Mods can't step down if they can't access their accounts.

 

[Mr. Gundam]

Didn’t he also get accused of awkward unwelcome sexual advances in his “Everyone love me world tour” years ago?

I mean, it isn't wrong.

 There's lots of industries that are rooted with shit like this and it exists today. It's just that it's been semi-open in the past and now people are starting to care.

Oh no. I think it's 100% true. My point is that things that some people on GAF would laugh off even a week ago make you persona non grata now because of recent events in the news.

[thisismyusername]

This site is slower than GAF.

To be fair: There's no ads to support Demi's sexually deviant lifestyle here. So...

[Rufus]

Should I put up some ads? Shit man this is value

Here's an Amazon referral link instead

What the fuck. Ok. It all makes more sense now. All the neogaf links people were posting wouldn't open. Not surprising.
