The hilarious part of looking at the cache is like an exiled dictator trying to control people off on an island somewhere:

http://assets.neogafllc.netdna-cdn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=ab2bb794381ee1a664fc1196ef809c1c&&f=3

He's literally gone thread by thread to lock the nonsensical ones, ban people who made references to him, and delete those people's threads making reference to him.

I can see him popping lithium on some psychotic rage banning and laughing to himself while the site is down and no one even knows or cares.

He's deleted so many threads going by this.

It's pretty funny watching all of neogaf's former targets reveling in its demise


I have to admit, I never liked PDP but I subscribed after watching a few of his new vids about the constant witchhunting against him by these fucking loons. The guy is very different than he used to be a decade ago, I kind of like him now.



Oh no! He blurted out a bad word in a moment of frustration! HANG. HIM.
:beli


What? No hanging?
No because I'm not a fucktard who says the n-word when I get mad at a video game. Amazingly, I also have control not to say the N-word when I get mad at work because I guess I'm a decent human being and has I don't know.....self control?


But not everyone can be you, oh virtuous one. Some people in fact are not perfect and not as composed and in complete control of themselves as you.
This is the problem with overly Conservative, alt-right, centrists, ect whatever "I"M NOT LIBERAL I"M SMARTER BOTH SIDES try hards". They look for whatever little holes in arguments they can take to extremes ironically missing the supposed middle ground their supposed intellectual brain was actually aiming for.

Even the dumbest teenager knows that saying the n-word out loud in public no matter how angry or not angry they are is a bad idea. Why say it? To get a reaction most of the time. To show how angry or ticked off they are?


And guess what, no school would buy that excuse. A quick kick to the nuts you'd basically receive.


Why do they yell the word on XBL? Because they know it's bad and will probably get some attention.

No boss at work is going to say "Oh well you see John was angry would he called the black lady trying to return an open dvd with no receipt the n-word. You know people just get mad". And thats fucking retail, filled with unprofessional SOBs. You're average cart pusher isn't going to be an idiot and say that word.

Because it's not cool and people know it's not something they should say. Because it's been made a bad word.

I don't care what happens to Pewdepie. You're mistake is thinking that anyone who appears left is an extreme Social Studies Warrior or some other nonsense. I don't care about the guy, I don't even think he should lose his job or well being. But if the market dictated he did then I would understand, because every person knows you just don't have flippant use of that word. Especially, when you're job is streaming to millions who are going to be on your ass for any and everything they hear.

Virtuous one? GTFO off this forum if you think not using that word is some idea of righteousness. Maybe because I don't live in an isolated place where there are actually plenty of POC, but I've never meant anyone at school or work who would just throw the n word out because they were angry and were later like "opps I let it slip". No if they used it when they were angry, they knew damn well what they were saying. When you're angry, you don't lose all your marbles and say and do stuff that reveals other aspects of your personality. You just don't become a radically different person who all of a sudden just pushes out racial slurs and is in no way representative of the "nice" you. That's bullshit.

And the hilarious part of this defense is pewdiepie didn't even look like he was distressed. He wasn't throwing a controller around angry at all.

Wow, this place seems to hate gaf as much as I am. Good good.

I was not a member, but I was long time lurker thanks to one of the big mod I know personally. I remember him saying to me : "it's the best and worst place on the net". Lol was he right.

The place was the best to get news first about gaming, but it was the worst place on the net for everything else. I remember you Dennis, good lad who like women beauty as much as me, you got hammered like a pig by a trigger happy mod who never approached a girl in his whole life. Off-topic side of Neogaf was a real shitshow. Gaming side around popular games (BOTW, Persona 5 etc) release was even worse.

I will not miss Neogaf but it was like a guilty pleasure to read some cringe-post sometimes, I admit ahaha. Fuck all those suicide/death of SO/mother/ broken people threads when you're in your bed trying to get some sleep, seriousely, it was depressing as eff.

Just to share what I know with you all (take it with a grain of salt, I wasn't there myself and sorry for my english, I'm from Norway) :

After the allegations about the "shower case", Evilore supposedly explained the situation to the mods/admin, giving them his own side of the story. Supposedly saying that it was a love triangle and the girl did actually loved him (while it was clear it wasn't the case). He acted really weird and his explanations were a big convulted mess. Most of the admin/mods called bullshit and decided to quit. He - supposedly again - even tried to pressure some mods by speaking about leaked personal informations on the forum through modbots.

It appears that the "shower girl" has witnesses that can testify her story and that seemed like the only reason why he did not deny the whole stuff and why he seemed to have panicked like he did.

If you're so unable to control your anger that you feel the need to spout the most offensive, particularly racist, thing you can think of, maybe you've got a problem?

Something wrong with you controller breaker types.


Nothing seriously wrong, just normal human behavior the holier than thou are trying to convince us hide deeper darker secrets or some shit. Personally I don't have that problem but know a lot of decent people that do and have the mental capacity to judge them based on their actual character traits, not a word they said in a moment of frustration. But then again I live in the real world with real people, not an internet bubble.
If the n-word is part of your usual angry banter. Yeah maybe you do have something going on there.

I live in the real world. When people get angry they yell bitch, fuck, whatever. Not the n-word.

And if they do they usually understand that maybe they crossed the line.

Or they did because they thought it was perfectly fine to say when they were angry.

Which is not good.

I'm not shocked that the mods had an explicit policy of propping up posters whom were regarded as persecuted and refusing to ban them in order to enforce some measure of social justice.  Well, I should say, I'm shocked that it was discussed so openly in the mod community, but it was obvious to most.

If you're so unable to control your anger that you feel the need to spout the most offensive, particularly racist, thing you can think of, maybe you've got a problem?

Something wrong with you controller breaker types.


Nothing seriously wrong, just normal human behavior the holier than thou are trying to convince us hide deeper darker secrets or some shit. Personally I don't have that problem but know a lot of decent people that do and have the mental capacity to judge them based on their actual character traits, not a word they said in a moment of frustration.

Yes, yes they did. They indeed crossed the line. They made a mistake. That doesn't reflect on their real character other than show that they're not perfect. PDP didn't start spamming the word after to spite people, he admitted he made a mistake.

Wow, this site feels like a breath of fresh air after spending too many years at GAF. I joined back when Drinky, Demi, MAF etc were still posting, but things changed. I've spent the last 4 or 5 years shaking my head at the mod policy, the hivemind, the total intolerance of any discourse outside of what is accepted in the echo chamber.

I spent many a time looking at a thread title, and noping out of it, after too many brushes with zealot mods like Besada due to my "wrongthink", too many dogpiles, rushes to judgement and conclusion hopscotch.

This place feels different, like it's actually possible to post an opinion again.

Hi,

GAF refugee here.

So this is fucked up yall.

Awful that one person is the downfall of a huge community. Never was fond of how that dope tried to parade himself around and take credit for the community which really was bigger than any one person. Shame the site is in shambles because of one person. The twitter narrative is absolutely pathetic as well. All the GG, white supremacy and chan users (especially chan users) projecting hard af call neogaf a site for pedos. I'm sorry alt right but yall were born on pedo sites...

Anyways I hope Stump and all the good mods who basically were holding the site together can either take over Neogaf or start a new site. If Evilore has any decency he will hand the site over to the new mods while they figure out how to run the site. Would be cool if it could be transformed into a community funded site and stay the same w/o ads and be run as a nonprofit? Possible?

Cerium spinoff update

There's over 1000 displaced gaffers huddling in the cold of the discord server. The random people acting as mods don't have the energy to ban everyone on their own so they're spinning up modbot.

Quote
@everyone

Howdy folks!

I'm currently working on a bot for this Discord server. Its purpose is to make our Moderators' lives a bit easier.

It will have two features:

1- !flush is a command that may be called by Mods to clean the #read channel up. It will delete messages made by users who have already been approved.

2- A forbidden words filter. We want this place to be friendly, so the bot will warn users whenever they use a forbidden word. Don't worry: as long as you don't start calling people ugly names, you should be okay!

The bot's code will be open for all to see. The only thing that will not be visible in the bot's source code is the bot's token, for obvious reasons.

We're also open for suggestions regarding the bot! I'm currently the main coder and my code might not be all that bright (in fact, the first version of the bot most likely has some pretty ugly-looking code) but bear with me: we'll improve it as we go.

And the hilarious part of this defense is pewdiepie didn't even look like he was distressed. He wasn't throwing a controller around angry at all.

I guess where some get hung up is when others claim to know who a person is based on what cuss words they use, and what value their lives have.  Sure, voice your displeasure at the use of the word, but going beyond that idk.  It isn't that far removed from those countries where you can still be executed for blaspheming.

Wow, this site feels like a breath of fresh air after spending too many years at GAF. I joined back when Drinky, Demi, MAF etc were still posting, but things changed. I've spent the last 4 or 5 years shaking my head at the mod policy, the hivemind, the total intolerance of any discourse outside of what is accepted in the echo chamber.

I spent many a time looking at a thread title, and noping out of it, after too many brushes with zealot mods like Besada due to my "wrongthink", too many dogpiles, rushes to judgement and conclusion hopscotch.

This place feels different, like it's actually possible to post an opinion again.

those logos suck

Would it kill them to hire a real designer and pay them a few hundred to make a real logo? GAF had the same problem with the various iterations of that shit ball logo.

If you're so unable to control your anger that you feel the need to spout the most offensive, particularly racist, thing you can think of, maybe you've got a problem?

Something wrong with you controller breaker types.


Nothing seriously wrong, just normal human behavior the holier than thou are trying to convince us hide deeper darker secrets or some shit. Personally I don't have that problem but know a lot of decent people that do and have the mental capacity to judge them based on their actual character traits, not a word they said in a moment of frustration. But then again I live in the real world with real people, not an internet bubble.
If the n-word is part of your usual angry banter. Yeah maybe you do have something going on there.

I live in the real world. When people get angry they yell bitch, fuck, whatever. Not the n-word.

And if they do they usually understand that maybe they crossed the line.


Yes, yes they did. They indeed crossed the line. They made a mistake. That doesn't reflect on their real character other than show that they're not perfect. PDP didn't start spamming the word after to spite people, he admitted he made a mistake.

Most likely a PR move to mitigate backlash. You're telling me you can't imagine a scenario where PDP is a dude who casually drops hard-r n-bombs all the time?


Well, thank God we have you guys to tell us what another person is thinking. And btw some people who drop n words frequently still aren't racists, they're just edgelords who like watching you people get your panties in a twist. Because you see, when there are people who take words way, WAY too seriously there'll always also be the contrarians who will entertain themselves by pissing you off. That certainly is a bad character trait but not the character trait you assume.

I never once yelled out a racial slur out of frustration even when I was a conservative Republican

Hi,

GAF refugee here.

So this is fucked up yall.

Awful that one person is the downfall of a huge community. Never was fond of how that dope tried to parade himself around and take credit for the community which really was bigger than any one person. Shame the site is in shambles because of one person. The twitter narrative is absolutely pathetic as well. All the GG, white supremacy and chan users (especially chan users) projecting hard af call neogaf a site for pedos. I'm sorry alt right but yall were born on pedo sites...

Anyways I hope Stump and all the good mods who basically were holding the site together can either take over Neogaf or start a new site. If Evilore has any decency he will hand the site over to the new mods while they figure out how to run the site. Would be cool if it could be transformed into a community funded site and stay the same w/o ads and be run as a nonprofit? Possible?

Stump was one of the shittiest mods on that site full of shitty mods. He definitely nuked some of the threads and posts discussing evillores shit and the threads/posts discussing amirox.

It's ok, more gaf influx will dilute the quality pool a bit.

For a minute there I thought maybe Evilore would step back for a while, most of the more obnoxious mods/posters would leave in protest and after a few weeks NeoGAF would be better than it has been in years.  With all the news articles and the empty mod list I guess it may just actually die though, oh well.

Thanks so much for approving my account so swiftly. I have been a NeoGAF member for 12 years, and while I saw the writing on the wall for a while, I never actually thought it would go out the way it did. What a shame. I really am happy to see some familiar faces here.

FWIW, I dated a woman for a a year and a half that casually dropped hard-r n-words (including the sand variety) and was perfectly fine with her white friends saying it around her. It was totally surreal.
