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

[VomKriege]

Many suspected Lime was a troll account shared by mods, because of his incredible ability to be a resident of Scandinavia or the US depending on the thread or what the discussion entailed, his total imperviousness to any moderation despite creating outrageous threads by the dozen and his caricatural persona (basically "Super-Social Studies Warrior") which all looked a bit like the formerly known "honey trap" threads. He's been at it for months.

HUELEN was the typical weird Gaffot, the sort to special fellow on making comparison of Sonic eyes color across all games all while being super awkward and lacking... maturity in discussing certain issues. Was too extreme even for GAF, bugged off quite a bit ago.

Now HUELEN is implying he was Lime all along.

Gaming side is informing me that Dino Crisis will return

[Switters]

Does anyone know a dev from Pillars of Eternity? I was wondering if they could patch in a side quest where you burn the Goose and Fox to the ground and replace Evilore's avatar pic with Dennis.

If we're going to do that, it'd be Polyhedron.

[StealthFan]

Wait Dino Crisis is coming back?

[border]

Why is this only happening now?

75% of the allegations against Evilore were already public knowledge to longtime NeoGAF members, and these improprieties were frequent talking points for the Gamergate/KotakuInAction crowd. 

How is it that nobody cared until now?  No major websites or media outlets have run a story about NeoGAF.  What is it that made the story gain traction this time?  Just the fact that there's yet another allegation of Evilore being scummy? 

Do we have Harvey Weinstein to thank for this?

Which is BS given how different bid the writing of both Lime and Huelen. Also Lime loved Homeworld.

Since when did Lime get such a high profile anyway? I still remember when the dumb cunt was being a creepy sex pest in the old Kpop threads years ago.

Did you guys ever think it was weird how hard the mods were about suppressing discussion about that Nintendo Marketing  Girl that got fired.

It always felt.. so weird. 

Almost personal.

Weinstein seems to have finally been the straw to break the camals back on power, sex and abuse of both.

Seems like Trump getting elected is finally helping us fix some of the U.S. woes, if only painfully.

Also hello all.

I don't even know what the fuck is going on anymore.Also, why can't I use an avatar ?

Could he reasonably just shut down OT altogether? I mean every thread was just one call to arms after another. The last fun thread I can remember in OT was the funhouse scare pics and that was years ago... (expansive ellipses)

No OT, no vigilant dog-pile brigade, any useful OT thread moved to community... just replace evilore somehow and the site would instantly become better.

You think it was just him? Most of those mods were shit. He wasn't even the worse one in terms of modding the site.

I know right? It’s hard to pick a single worst.

This is the second one.  Moreover, this happened after the tenor of GAF has become more unforgiving to any type of impropriety. 

[VomKriege]

What's with this "super social studies warrior" stuff here?  LOL, you guys sound like such dorks when you say that.

In quotes because obviously tongue-in-cheek. Just a shorthand to saying Lime was the epitome of the grating progressive militant.

OT would need to get rid of any political/social/race talk, or keep it to one centralized thread.  No shitposts, ban baiting, meme/gif replies, demands for reciepts, etc and have mods enforce the rules instead of hiding behind modbot.  Get rid of the "protected posters".  It's a video game forum.  It needs to take itself much less seriously.

GAF will be back. Too easy to make a statement saying "under new management nothing to see here" There is no single place to divert the population to. Demi said this won't be the new GAF. Give it a few weeks.

I think so? I put in a no-rush request as I had a family engagement to attend to and did not realize that shit was going to hit the fan this quickly. I got home and the site was down.

*shrugs*

I honestly have no interesting dirt to share. Don’t know anything at all about the main scandal and as boring as it may sound I like the rest of the volunteer staff way too much to even inadvertently throw anyone under the bus.

[HaughtyFrank]

So this is where all the cool kids went.

[fistfulofmetal]

Now shut the fuck up about GG. We're almost at the point where we'll never hear it again.

btw, you only never hear about it because the names have changes. They most def are not *gone*. Just ask any woman in any kind of public facing position in the game/comic sphere.
