Why not just make a subreddit called GAF or something instead of another spin off forum.

Why am I posting here instead of fapping to futanari doujins

Heard around that one of the chans is keeping track of users following the ResetEra Twitter and claim to be planning to dox them. I have a feeling they won't really care about putting in all that work just for GAF'er randos though

Never doubt the lengths 4chan or 8chan will go to to piss someone off. I’m still amazed at the whole Shia Labeouf thing from earlier this year.

Also I had no idea /pol/ gave this much a shit about GAF. There’s like 4 threads over there right now.

Can confirm. Funny to watch trolls trolling trolls as anyone pointing out that the parody besada one is fake is shouted down as spreading disinfo, divide and conquer, etc. They still believe it's real.

[tummyfat]

I think Evilore's smug confidence that he's on the right side of history will never let him throw in with the shitlords and have GAF go back to what it used to be, even if that is the correct move that this junction for him.

This is a guy who made a thread about his commitment to the Paris environmental agreement and tweeted at Sia to match a donation to the ACLU or whatever. Also numerous donations to Obama and Hillary and angry tweets to Totalbiscuit

[HaughtyFrank]

"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.

 

I know I'm late to the party but, what the hell? 

If they hooked up later it makes it possible that there was even flirting etc. before the shower incident, unless it was somehow that event that suddenly made him attractive to her.

But of course can Kotaku not even ask one critical question or else they'd be horrible victim blamers and "the reason why women don't speak" etc. etc.

I've been following the last like 80 pages and it's been mostly whining about being banned on NeoGAF. I mean I agree with some of the echo chamber and inconsistency concerns but if you got permabanned on GAF and you're still whining about it incessantly somewhere else online you probably deserved it.

Tyler is probably taking so long because he's consulting with his lawyer. But I think this is probably the end of modern GAF as we know it.

GAF is up, it's just "turned off" because if he turns it on without having any moderators but himself it's going to be another immediate disaster area.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Like I said earlier - before we knew the shower girl had sex with him later - those allegations are not even that bad. He crossed a line, he read things wrong, that's it. He acted weird about going straight nude into the shower, sure, but let's not act as he raped her or something. She asks him to get out out, he was drunk as fuck, horny, nude, ready to fuck, AND he still got out of the shower. Sure, the girl was not "da bomb of the year", but it still takes some good in you to get the fuck out when you're in this situation.

With having the time to take a step back, I think the problem wasn't Malka, he's weird, but I don't even think he's an evil mastermind or a women harasser. I feel bad for the guy, he was drunk, made a mistake, did not have the ressource to just explain the situation and he also had bad luck because the girl version seems to paint the situation in a worse light than what the reality seems to be.

What if something like that happen to one of us ? A random C-grade girl you tried to fuck while drunk tells her story and you're life is done ? Weinstein deserved all of it, but Malka's case is nothing like that. I don't drink alchool, but I've seen friends being stupid while doing so and regretting it while sober, it's fairly common.

If anything, the entire problem was "those" extremist gaf members who lived in their little bubble and I think that's the only true reason people are happy to see gaf explose. To see them getting a taste of the real world - realizing that everyone outside hate them, even leftist - and seeing their bubble explode is the only reason why I'm glad Neogaf exploded that way. But I'm starting to feel for Malka, he's portrayed as a rapist by creepy pedo and basement-dwellers who probably tried to rape people for real at least once in their life. Man, that level of irony.

I'm also buying the theory that the mods had him by the balls. He's a weird guy, I'd never want him as a friend, he does not now how to handle situation like an adult and he's clearly a man child, but he's not a rapist or anything, I hope things calm down a little for him.

I don't think anyone would confuse me for being a "bubble" gaf dweller or anything, but come on dude. Even I'm like "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" That's downright criminal. No matter the amount of acohol it's not something you should think "Hey, that puking girl that has a boyfriend? She probably wants me this instant."  It's not like he tried to buy her a drink, or went in for a non-existent kiss. Dude straight up got naked and went into her personal space. I don't know, but even in my book that's far from excusable.

I don't mind so much about the members, everyone is entitled to their opinion (even if its weird, extreme, or just plain anime).

Just have one tiny suggestion, Demi.  You know how GAF has those tabs at the top of each forum? So you could be viewing the OT and simply click the Gaming tab and it takes you there.  Here you gotta click the General parent forum link and then Gaming.  It sounds minor... just one extra click right but it could help make the game section less dead.  Could put it where the Cruncheon thing as well if tabs don’t work.

That seems like a good idea. I just added some redirect links on each board.

So she goes to New Orleans with the dude, and they go out drinking all night, stay I. The same hotel room, and now she’s shocked he tries to pipe her down? Like what do you think he thought was going to happpen?

What he did was definitely not cool, and he deserves some side eye for it, but in the scheme of things, eh, he’s not exactly Amiro0x-level predator here. He’s just kind of douche.

I have a feeling he let it get as far as it did for ad revenue purposes, but you could tell from many of his posts he's a moderate kind of guy. I actually found myself agreeing with a lot of his posts on things, despite his coming off as a massive prick. If he changes his moderation style to be more in line with his own beliefs then there's a chance for GAF to move on from its current state.

He wants the forum to operate itself, not require him to admin it.

As long as he avoids self-righteous, pious, fuckwit mods, he might get it to work like that again.  Maybe an election system for mods, with rotating chairs and whatnot, like a board of directors? At least then you always get the mods you deserve. Mind you the politics around mod election time would be a sight to behold Hey maybe that makes it even more fun....

If that were even remotely true he would have set up NeoGAF as a functioning company that would continue to operate while he steps down. Paid mods wouldn't leave like his team did.

He doesn't want to pay people for it, he had people doing it for free for over a decade.

Just saying...he might need to switch it up if he wants to keep on collecting that sweet ad revenue.

The silver lining is that he owns two houses, so he could always sell one to keep the other!
