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

Long time lurker. I wanted to say I like Dennis, that Europe Vita guy and Adam Jensen guy.

Trying to get in and create one last thread, revealing my alt. Alas I think GAF is dead. Won't load.

8BN: 1) Charge your damn phone
2) 12:14 PM. WTF Kotaku, my dick is going limp. I NEED THE CLIMAX. GIVE ME THE ARTICLE, DAMN IT.

[demi]

So here is where all the ex-neogaf members came. How is it here guys? Do you also can get banned for wrong thinking here?

You don't get banned for wrong thinking or even being a dickhead. Just as it should be in the old internet days 15 years ago.

Just want to clarify, you can get banned for wrongthink or being a dickhead. But if you are doing wrongthink and being a dickhead a lot. Then you're just annoying, imo.

You used to be cool demit. All this newfound power is going to your head. beware the ides of march

[EightBitNate]

TIMU can verify me now.

[Dennis]

This will never be seen

 

[omensetter]

I'm amazed at how many old golden age gaffers I recognize on here. so i guess this is where everyone with a distinct personality fled to.

[Switters]

GAF really was the Walmart of Mos Eisley. You could find just about anything you didn't want.

[K]

we need some ex moderators to tell their story.

if you won't come here, please, talk to jason at kotaku or someone. Your story needs to be heard about EviLore.

[Dennis]

pls be true

[benjipwns]

If there's one good thing to come out of this, it's me never hearing the word "gamergate" ever again.

If they can so easily bring down NeoGAF.com, a nexus of hardcore gamers, enthusiast press, and video game industry developers and publishers. A neutral ground where facts and evidence, presented within the confines of civil, inclusive discourse, prevail through careful moderation. Then no one is safe from gamergate.

[Cloud Strife]

Well, it's finally time.

Been lurking here and Voat for a little under a year after I realized what Gaf was. Username is the same as was on Gaf.

Hi.

lol neutral ground.

[shosta]

You can't lurk Voat for the same reason you can't just check out a klan meeting

[Skyward Sheep]

Another gaffer fleeing the sinking ship. This has been an entertaining evening at least.

[ModernBoxes]

I saw Voat. I think Voat users have more in common with 4chan than the bore. So take yer pick.

[treythemovie]

Huh. I always figured GAF to be the slow decline to irrelevance type of board, not the sudden implosion type

With a bunch of one-two post threads dominating Off-Topic

[iPaul]

Please new members, post your gaf names so I will know what to think of you.

[Occam]

Are we witnessing the end of an era in real-time? Off-Topic is going crazy.

[seagrams hotsauce]

Lmfao @ "is Evilore a pedophile" being the only thread getting locked. The rest of the forum shitting on him is aaight but being put in the company of Amirox is a bridge too far

[Risible]

I'm amazed at how many old golden age gaffers I recognize on here. so i guess this is where everyone with a distinct personality fled to.

Years ago I told Evilore to go fuck himself in a fat shaming thread and Demi saw it and sent someone to PM me about making an account here because I was probably going to get banned.

When I made my account and checked out the forums it was like when Aladeen from The Dictator came to America and saw all the people he had "killed" living in Queens.  I was like holy shit this is where they all went.  It was mindblowing.

[Averon]

I have been out all day. WTF happened!?

Neogaf created the monster that ultimately led to its downfall, SonyGaf.

Off-Topic is a shitshow right now. I fucking love it.

I can honestly say without being a cheesy fuck that I hesitated signing up for so long because this forum was everything and everyone I loved about GAF. This is the distilled raw essence of the best of a vast community. And they are intimidatingly smart and witty. 

My avatar is Bruce Wayne Scared shitless.

Yeah those guys are fucked. Didn't bother with the hate-filled stuff they'd post, but I'm not defending myself.

[Masquerader]

I'm disappointed that GAF died on a hill of shite sexual offenses, but unhappily unsurprised. I still liked most people there, but yeah, goddamn. If Evilore had a tiny bit of integrity in his spine, he'd have given the reigns to someone else immediately, regardless of his innocence or guilt, but he's more like a weird alien pretending to be human, so he doesn't know how.

Former member here. Hi all! So, much as the mods fucked up Neogaf, I still like the ideas in which you can't be an outright cunt to others. Is this place like that, minus the more draconian Gaf policies?

[demi]

shut up bitch, that was me. fuck you for making a shitty post.

The best part is the next: "where facts and evidence, presented within the confines of civil, inclusive discourse"

The "civil and inclusive" discussion when you commit the ultimate sin of wrongthink against the SJ W hugbox:

lol

I can't even

What is this?

Are you serious?

Ugh

WTF

WTF

Can a mod please do something about fucking trolls like him in this thread?

I. can't. EVEN

lol

I guess that makes me a total newbie; I only joined NeoGAF about 4 years ago (after lurking for several years).

I've heard there are some very fine people at Voat.

[DarknessTear]

Think about it. These people are so extreme in their beliefs that they decide to not buy a game because one [admittedly shitty] person is voice acting a character in it. The big boss being a shitty person was enough for that foundation to crumble.

[lowmelody]

lmfao benji's trolling is even too much for this place.

[Porridge]

Neogaf refugee here, seems like a cool place. I'm ashamed to admit I've been doing nothing but F5 this page for the whole day. 

I didn't realize writting a statement takes 12+ hours

benji?

Never heard of him. Is he permanently banned for NeoGAF like Amir0x and Besada?

It’s the implication

[Rufus]

Doesn't seem to scale automatically. EL understandably doesn't want to rent more servers just to get shit on.

[SmokyDave]

Smoky, just go to bed. It is late.

Dude, I know, I really should. It’s the perfect storm though, I’m high as fuck, missus and kid are wrapped up soundly, and I don’t need to be up early tomorrow. I want to tear myself away and play Zelda but it’s kicking off so quickly that I can’t stop gawping.

Just ten more minutes. Maybe twenty.

Yeah, the holier than thou attitude got too extreme.

mighty fine time for me to get 503 errors

Fuck you and your shitty servers, EviLore. You vomit layered cunt dribble.

His slaves are gone. He can't even manage his own fucking site.

[Averon]

Can someone give me a causality count? Which mods are out? Which forum regulars got perms?

[Gigan]

When I got back on with my alt I tried my best to stick to no drama Gaming threads and the shit posts from the (many) usual suspects had seeped into those threads too. It's no surprise the site is imploding.

[iPaul]

Has Evillore said anything yet?

[ZombieSupaStar]

so I just took a 4 hour nap, time to see what I missed....

I mean literally literally, the servers have collapsed.
