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

[Boredfrom]

Man, I feel like games journalism just got so much more ethical tonight.

We'll see how much this penetrates the "mainstream." Schreier is personal friends with Malka and a lot of enthusiast press love Gaf for making the 2017 version of their shit jobs easy; they can just go to the frontpage of gaming on Gaf and repurpose the hot takes there to create easy alarmist red meat for their dwindling/aging hardcore readership. Same "x is killing the industry" shit every week.

Being fair, outside of users with obvious ties with internet blogging posting links to "interesting" articles, nobody cares that much about Gaf anymore. I can see Schereier throwing EL under the bus given how close he got to GAF in recent years.

Glad i heard about this place. I was perma'd from that "other place" recently for saying it can be up its own ass with a reason saying "Suck my dick". I loved GAF, no GG/far right bullshit but man was it getting (or always was?) too authoritarian. Happy to be here.

Hi, I was banned in the same thread with the same message.  Back in June.  It was shitty at first.  But surprisingly, I haven't missed it. 

If anyone wants another huge forum to check out, SomethingAwful is better than Gaf in every way.

Taco Bell is good if you're drunk and it's 2 in the morning and your roommate owes you a meal. It's good most other times too.

EL should’ve married a nice girl and become a family man. He was way too into the playboy lifestyle and it backfired lol.

No way a nice girl marries Evilore. As Evilore already knows, money can only take you so far.

it's not that everywheres a gg/alt right shithole, but I've seen that shit creep up and take root quick when not stomped out is all

Yeah, but while you're new to this community (stick around, btw, you were always a real one) this thread has been ongoing for years without any of that bullshit. It gets stomped out by the users telling them to fuck off. SJ W even got autocorrected to Social Studies Warrior to make fun of people using that as an insult.

No it wasn't. It was changed to SSW because what SJWs are. They aren't remotely about social justice. Hence the name change.

GAF is becoming a fascinating experiment in what would happen if the moderation staff completely abandoned a fairly prominent high traffic message board. It'll be like a Chernobyl of the internet, where one can study from afar whatever mutated flora and fauna don't fuck off and leave.

The mods get replaced easily. The problem is that the cheap fuck appointed admins to manage his site for free in exchange for imaginary authority.

That's actually something I never understood about NeoGAF. Evilore made tens of thousands a month but paid the people who kept the site going nothing. Why were they all ok with this?

There is no community I’ve ever been more proud to be part of than GAF. For such a vibrant community to fall victim to its admin is a tragedy. I love you all.

As turdly as GAF can be it's a legit community and it held value to many of us. Fuck Malka for taking it with him. Can't say I'm surprised given his prior shit.


Thank fuck I didn't say hi to him at E3 that one year.

Unannounced perma bans with no appeal process quietly snipes people in this "community" and they lose contact forever. So fuck them.

Nah, fuck the police there and the chief (Malka) especially. Tons of the communities on there were thorough and great for hobbyists. At the very least it was a reliable place to find passionate gamers talking about something you cared about.

My point is there was a kempt community with a solid direction bigger than Malka and his disgusting shit. Guy should've stepped down immediately and salvaged the thing that was way bigger than him.

What I'm saying is these communities were good, but being a part of one and then perma banned with no way of keeping contact is a pretty fucked up process. Took me eleven years to get banned. 5 bans in 11 years is a lot I guess!

Yeah, very true and shitty. There was no appeals process or debate. Not well  managed. Think I had four bans in 11-12 or so. All seemed petty.

And there's actually a whole sub forum where you're allowed to bitch and complain about forum things and mods will reply to you and discuss it.  A lot of transparency and communication there.  Also no reaction gifs!!  They're outlawed.  Same for meme pictures outside of one meme thread.

Living in Los Angeles, it's hard to get excited about Taco Bell. There are taco trucks that put out superior product on three separate street corners closer to me than the nearest Taco Bell. It's like living in New York and getting excited about Papa John's.

Taco Bell isn't Mexican food the same way American Chinese isnt Chinese food. You can like both.

On a serious note, this is the owner not sweeping it under the carpet and locking threads, banning people for talking about it.  There was a 250 page thread on SA when that happened, and Lowtax got angry when a mod closed it.
