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

[Propagandhim]

Kinda crazy how it all went down.  Goes to show how poorly moderated that place was when your userbase can use just turn on you like that.  Tyler never really fostered a healthy, collaborative culture in recent years.

Hey, he fostered that environment. Cater to ultra-Social Studies Warriors and they will turn on you the second they find out that you're not the paragon of virtue they imagined you to be.

Yeah, all he needed to do is say I was drunk, did dumb things, apologized. Let's move on.  It's funny how GAF became so puritanically unforgiving.

Oh gosh, don't say that. Next thing you know sobriety will be a requirement of the website. Let the purity tests begin!

I actually like Evilore.  He's obviously far from a perfect dude and has some issues with having an ultra thin skin.  But recent posts of his have shown that he knows where the site ended up and basically was not sure how to stop it.  But he created a Frankenstein monster that turned on him.

Also, I think Bish will be back to him salvage what's left. He was his closest bro on the site

Bish would not be the one to salvage that site. Hell, he was one of the main people that turned that place into the echo chamber it was.

I am kind of happy all this shit is going down because it may result in a better Neogaf without all the shitty narrative. EviLore just needs to provide a sincere and honest explanation. If that causes a mass exodus then that's fine, those people that leave are what made NeoGAF simply intolerable in the first place.

NeoGAF is fine for talking about videogames and off topic garbage, but it sure did make you feel like you had a huge fucking target on your back if you said something that didn't fit in (and we are not even talking about historically offensive viewpoints, you could simply go bye bye for having a contrasting opinion that most normal people wouldn't bat an eye at).

for instance?

All you had to say was that you voted for Trump and you would get banned.

good

Did you ever hear of that? "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it", it's your way of thinking that creates an echo chamber with only way of thinking and it seems you are carrying your awesome way of thinking here too.

Have you ever heard of the paradox "In order for there to be peace you have to be prepared for war?" Or "In order for there to be tolerance, the tolerable must be intolerant of the intolerable?" Why on earth should should one defend the rights of another who is actively advocating for the former's demise? Tolerance of all speech isn't some moral law, it's a social contract that's relative to the situation as long as everyone abides by it. If someone is associating with or, if brazenly enough cause it's 2017 and look who is president, advocating for the destruction and oppression of another of course you're going to get attacked for it.

Neogaf community was openly left. The site did not want conservative posters or anyone who sympathized with ideologies in that sphere. It was also not a place for centrists or fence sitters which was also good but you could still post on the site as one. It wasn't some free speech Libertarian playground nor do I think this is a good quality to have for any forum.

Oh boy, you're going to hate it here.

LOL, Evilore is truly fucked now.  Had he issued his bullshit "statement", he probably could have stemmed things off a bit.  Not anymore.  Now I really do doubt that NeoGAF will ever come back up unless it's with a different owner.

What did Tyler do all day?  I'm not asking this rhetorically, I'm genuinely curious.  Never updated the forum infrastructure and software, never fixed the malicious ads, didn't pay out any contractors for moderation or maintenance, used Gromph for database shit which he did for free....

Her position was anti-pedo and anti-molestation. It’s the only valid one. There’s no debate here, freak.

Again, this might be an unresolvable point of disagreement, here. I am personally less concerned with someone's conclusionsand far more concerned with the manner by which they reach those conclusions and how they convey them.

One constant point of frustration for me -- both on the internet forums I have moderated and in real life -- is that people have difficulty believing I agree with their conclusions but not their methods, or the basis upon which they reached those conclusions.

This was one of my biggest problems with GAF, you were allowed to be the biggest asshole as long as you had the right opinion.

Consistently banning shitty people would have made the site tolerable even if it would have still been an echo chamber

So my cancer statement was accurate then? At least have some friggin self awareness. NeoGAF is where it is today because of people having the mindset you do.

You say that like it's a bad thing but I am fine with that.

If the site has to end because the mods wouldn't tolerate it's scumbag harassing owner so be it.

[Nintex]

When I got banned like in 2009 or 2010, shit posting was posting stuff like: "The textures suck" in a Halo beta thread and Evilore would give you an earful about how to properly conduct yourself on an internet forum.

Or posting stuff like: "Sinterklaas isn't racist I've celebrated this since pre school" and Bish would post something like: "'sup". Some idiots would say: "ohhh shi" and he'd ban a few people.

Now half of the threads were filled with circle jerks about Clinton and PlayStation. Milkshake ducks, Mary Sue's and whatever the fuck the buzzword of the season was.
Daily moaning about how depressing everything/the world is because Trump somehow got elected despite them being the 5th referral for the Clinton website. Taking the: "Everyone who doesn't agree with me is a Nazi" argument to the limit.

NeoGAF had become completely toxic that's why it won't return. The old mods don't have to bother either. First they covered for a convicted pedophile, than they covered for Evilore. Not to mention they stood by as the place was taken over by hysteric nincompoops crying about how not everyone agrees with them. Members who actually knew shit about what was going on behind the scenes in the industry (or how games are developed in the first place) had already left over the years. People who made great jokes and non-PR firm sanctioned OT's banned.

The VP of Xbox is pissing and dancing on the grave. You can hear champagne bottles opening at publishers and developers alike.

Google Daryl Davis that man shits all over "the tolerant must be intolerant of the intolerant". Neogaf was free to do what they want, but they redefine people intentions without sufficient evidence and only because they have differing opinions, it might keep unwanted people out. But it also breeds ignorance and naivety, far be it for me to tell you how to live your life - but for there to be any progress compassion and understanding needs to be the path, not separation and isolation.

Holy fuck. Stop with the long quotes.

True story: when a GAF moderator, while I really liked the cleanness of the posts, I also felt at times one might want to see the quote chained that spawned some post 1,000 posts in to a long thread without having to backtrack. I proposed have a small tab at the top of posts which was default-minimized but which, if one preferred, one could click and the entire quote chain would pop up to give you more context of a conversation. I'm not sure if that idea was not logistically feasible or if nobody agreed, but clearly it never happened.

[ileflottante]

This was the same with me. Like opiate was talking about earlier, even if you hold pretty much the same position as another person, just wording something slightly differently could see your ass banned. I didn't pay much attention to GAF dying until Stump left. All my dealings with Stump were level headed. I was permed unjustly once as my ip address was similar to some person with numerous alts. The ban message was like we don't allow alt accounts and I was permed. I was able to reach Stump and in his digging he was able to see that it was bullshit and reversed it.

[Opiate]

I also advocated on the gaming side for intellectual diversity: namely, I thought the site exhibited clear biases and preferences for certain platforms and game types, and I wanted more people with different viewpoints to be included. Even if that meant letting a Farmville gamer be a mod, or something. Virtually all of us (including me) were PC gamers first and foremost, and the few exceptions were primarily Sony gamers by the end.

While I never liked Opiate as a moderator, I feel like the accusations against him were always kind of weak. His defense of pedophilia was creepy and weird, but I still think harsh to call him a pedophile just from that and some random flickr account. Same for Beseda who was no doubt a piece of shit, but no real evidence towards him being a pedo as so many enjoy stating.

Edit: Oh is that actually Opiate on here?

Schrier's comments seem correct, to me. I think some of you are missing how this got ignored: not because no one had heard it before, but because we hear so many things that knowing which are real and which aren't is difficult. I'm sure in any comment section, Evilore is called a Nazi but also a communist; a great leader but also an asshole; a person who sexually assaults women but also a pedophile. It isn't that they haven't heard this stuff before -- it's that someone in Evilore's position has been accused of basically everything, so knowing which accusations have real meat and which do not can be difficult.
