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

That's pretty damn good.

[Transhuman]

I used to wonder what type of person uses 4chan and then I caught my last roommate using it, and it's pretty much what you'd expect.

[LurkinMerkin]

Earlier, people here were asking for discord screenshots. I just checked the /v/ thread on 8chan and they are all up in there, doing a not very subtle job of fucking with them. That announcement to not bring up Evilore and what happened makes more sense to me now. The actual GAfers are of course aware but with well over 1000 members it must be damn near impossible to try and control. I could post some of their caps and copypasted log snippets if anyone wants, but none are particularly amusing.

EDIT: And yes they are datamining to dox former users and I assume mods. Evilore's dox is on there, not sure if that was public knowledge or not.

[etiolate]

It won't be long until the gaf-u-gees believe the whole GAF meltdown was nothing but an attack from gamergates and the alt-right.

Cult-like mentality.

"In a phone conversation with Kotaku, Leupp said that even after the alleged shower incident, she’d continued her friendship and even had a brief physical relationship with Malka until they had a falling out at E3 2015. She said that, prior to the alleged shower incident “I had no reason not to trust him. He had been introducing me to people and helping me network for my film company,” she told me. “I feel gross from having ever been in contact with this person.”

What the flying fuck?!

She fucked him after the creepy shower incident. Credibility levels at fucking zero. Maybe that cult story was true.

 

Holy. shit. This makes it so much better now since it wasn't Evilore that destroyed the forum but the distinguished mentally-challenged SJ W culture of guilty until never proven innocent that he allowed to fester.

Perfection.

Daaamn.I wonder why he hasn't released a statement yet.I think it would've been easier if he admited and apologized, but he chose to silence everyone that was talking about this instead.Weird choice.

He was trying to figure out a way to spin it, and failed.

I'm just glad the site is done. Evilore has been a massive piece of shit, and I feel bad for anyone that whitelisted the site so that piece of shit would get money for doing nothing.

I wonder if the locusts (you know like the MK bros, a bunch of BCT regulars etc) will move to a safe space (Waypoint) or to a regular place and turn it into the same shitshow that GAF became over the past couple of years. I'm leaning towards the latter.

[Let's Cyber]

If only KissVibes hadn't decided to shitpost all over OT, Tyler would have finished up his statement by now.  :'(

spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's pretty funny how it was very likely Evilore himself posting as modbot at that point, desperately trying to clean up his failing message board (SAD!) while also closing threads and talking in the third person. "EVILORE WILL RELEASE A STATEMENT SOON. These troll posts are slowing me...er, I mean him down from getting it out sooner"

It doesn't matter where one of my dogs craps in the house, it stinks no matter where it hits the floor.

[Occam]

Personal opinion but the forum fell apart because of Social Justiz Warrior crusading on the part of both members encouraged by moderators.

My perma ban 3 months ago for example was for the crime of admitting to be a deplorable who supports Trump.  I spoke out in the "punch nazis" thread stating that violence against any group is wrong.  Especially when the extremist Left was pushing the Overton window on the forum to define ANYBODY not extremist Left as being as Nazi.  This created a forum that radicalized folks on the Left.  Of course I was piled on, told I was being disgenious, and eventually quietly perma banned. 

I was a 12 year member with tens of thousands of posts.  Also represented Sony for awhile via the MVP program (officially tagged at the time).

The hardcore leftist Social Justiz Warrior bent of GAF fucked what made the forum great.  Hundreds of awesome posters left or were banned between 2014 - 2017.

Tbf anyone still supporting Trump by July 2017 is questionable af. 

Yeah, wtf Bamelin?

Edit: Never mind. I read the pages after this post. Disappointing.

The whole clusterfuck must have started by the mods. Besada or one of the other couple of nutjobs that got banned first in typical rabid SJ W fashion convicted him before even hearing all the facts, Evilore in typical egomaniac dictator fashion got pissed off and banned him which triggered the rest of the mods who were already triggered so they stopped moderating the shithole which allowed the rest of the rabid loons to take over the asylum.

THINGS I WILL NOT MISS FROM GAF:

- PUBG saltmines and whining
- shitty PS4 exclusive game winning GOTY over 10x better multiplatform games (happens every year - this year with the BOREFEST Horizon: Last Yawn)
- sonyfags running the place for circa 15 years
- praising Dark Souls 2 which is dumpster GARBAGE
- whole forum jacking off to some pedo-japanese game on Vita/ 3DS selling 80k copies LTD like it is some unheard of success
- "Switch port when?"
- Iwata bjs

Tons of other stuff. I rarely opened the Off Topic there as it was 99% centered on UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. You didn't even qualify to the WORLD CUP, losers.

THINGS I WILL MISS FROM GAF:

- More_Badass indie gaming/ iOS gaming threads. They were the best thing on the gaming side.
- all Souls threads in the Community section especially Bloodborne/ Dark Souls 3

Borys.. bro.. Horizon Zero Dawn was an amazing game O_o. Combat was tight as fuck and the story was nice.

Sonyfags running the place harharhar during the ps3 days shit was all Microsoft centered, now Sony takes back the reigns and people start crying. Man the fuck up Borys.

As for the rest I can agree with that shit lol.

In contrast to those professed views, Kotaku has spoken with long-time members who say they were recently banned for making what they saw as progressive arguments. One said they were banned for arguing that now-deceased Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner is not a feminist icon

You know it's killing him to not get mentioned by name. You know he didn't ask to remain anonymous.

OpenCritic sees itself as some kind of police for what reviews should be. Starting with detective work into the workings of a small website, instead of just removing them from their overview, and then coming out with an "investigation report" and then the "taking a stance" with the lootboxes. Just dump the ratings on a page, dudes, nobody really cares about all that stuff.

Sony fanboys can burn in a ps3 og phat fire for fucking gaming side up. PS4 stanning and astro turfing put a dent in gaming side.

Also, fuck the PS4. Zero backwards compatability. Y'all xbone haters can fuck off with that point. Yeah, why would i get a console that can play most of my collected 360 shit, and now og xbox shit. Being able to play all your shit, while saving money? Fuck that! 

With the power of a PS4 pro, you can buy and only download the ps2 version of vice city. Shadow of the Colossus' third release with new textures will be avaible soon!

The ultimate irony for me personally is that I was temp-banned last week for mocking the conclusion-jumpers at NeoGAF.
Now the conclusion-jumpers killed NeoGAF.

So youre telling me all the games i collected and bought, that can be played on my xbone, backwards compatability, that collection is putrid trash? And i should build a new pc, and rebuy everything again? That sounds solid.
