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

[injurai]

If someone did snatch user info to prop their own offshoot, could Evilore sue the person/person's? That's some pretty sketchy shit, too.

I'd love to see that happen, the longer the fire burns the more I'm entertained.

NeoGAF was used by gaming fans, members of the press and industry executives alike. Its hivemind was often first to spot gaming news - or leak it - and proliferate ensuing memes. It had a reputation for being a kneejerky bellwether of the gaming community, and I've heard from too many developers to count that its threads were analysed closely to suggest the wider tone of feeling - or likely cause for feedback - for a game project.

Wow, so they really did have a hand in why videogames are such teetotal dogshit now 

More than one site was addicted to japanese tities but allergic to western ones, this was not unique to neogaf.

I'm more talking about how every game has to be a movie now with wretched 1990s Image comics dialogue and a couple of button presses every few minutes

May as well add LoudNinja as an admin while they're at it.

Wait, Jay got permed for proving Tyler was lying, with documentation? The fuck?

Yeah, I remember that being posted on the Reddit GAF Hate group when it happened.  It was a total WTF moment that went completely unanswered and unexplained, like so many of his tantrums.

It's probably important to note that the context was someone else on the forum asking how they should prepare for their trip to eastern Europe, and Cranky Jay just said something like "Make sure you don't get scammed like Evilore did that one time."  It wasn't him explicitly mentioning the story, or saying "HAHA Look how this loser got scammed".  He basically just meant it as a cautiounary tale.  At worst maybe it was meant as passive-aggressive.

I remember when this happened.

So Neogaf.com is back online but the forums have been nuked. Looks like Tyler is trying to squeeze out those last few ad dollars from people checking if the site is back online.

What a piece of shit.

Wait did he legit delete the forum as in all the threads and posts?

If so

No, that's what the mobile site displays when the maintenance message is up.

I hope the proud #gamer isn't too proud about it in resetera.

In the last years since GG, there was a narrative in Neogaf, that being a #gamer is the equivalent of the white male rapist racist. There was always several posters in neogaf threads that decried gamers and were ashamed to be gamers when someone was harassed or an individual who played games did something bad.

I think it was that GG - and other gaming-oriented controversies since then - showed that this hobby we might have once thought would unite and remove us from the ugliness of life was just as tainted as what we were trying to escape. It proved that many of the people behind the games we enjoy harbor some very dark beliefs that made it very difficult to separate from our enjoyment of this pastime. It's too bad that the vast majority of the people expressing those ugly views are white males. Maybe that's a problem that should be addressed?

True his focus is pretty much games. I can dig it.

Speaking of Kagari has she made any sort of comment?

[wsippel]

Was the information about the new site (Reset Era?) porting over the ban list and the email registration list true?

I'd heard they were wanting to keep out existing GAF-banned users but I'm not comfortable with everyone's emails just being willy-nilly handed over like that, whether registered or not.

Pretty sure that would be flat-out illegal, too. Tyler could sue them for stealing his data, and users could sue them for violating their privacy.

As it should. The furor over what EL was accused is ridiculously overblown, so much so that I'm shocked he took the site down. Most GAF members are either indifferent to the accusation or felt it was an innoccously untoward act committed by someone naively unclear on how to conduct themselves in that kind of sexually charged situation. They just want their forum back.

Word up pedOpiate

Imagine founding a small message board in 1999 as an extension of your site. Five years later, the moderators of the board decide to take over hosting and ownership due to issues with the ownership of your site. A year later, they shut you out. Over the next twelve years, two moderators are involved with pedophilia… Then the lead administrator abandons the site after specific accusations of sexual assault come to light.

[gfm793]

World of difference between pedophilia and evilore's usual creepy behavior? Sure. But dude got his just desserts and the girl maybe banging him later doesn't change that getting in the shower with someone who's vomiting, has a boyfriend, and didn't invite you isn't something to defend. As I've said before, she might have bad judgement but she wasn't wrong about that incident.

You're making up the puking part. You completely miss the context of the trip, and you're absolving her of every bit of responsibility and agency. I especially like the her having a boyfriend part of your argument, as if running off to a place known for drunken hookups means there is just no chance that signals were sent because she has a boyfriend.

News flash, people cheat. People go on trips to cheat. She ended up banging him later. She for some unknown reason was most likely interested in him at that point. They were both drunk, and he misread a signal. It's not fucking rocket surgery.

People acting like the world's worst enactment of the naked man pass is somehow traumatic. Though I guess seeing EvilLore Naked would be kinda nasty.

HAH! This right here is why GAF was shit. You're joking though, right?

No, I'm very serious and speak from experience, remembering conversations I had with many minority members of the gaming community who were absolutely stunned that the ranks of their hobby included the dregs of society. We always knew that there were racists among us, as any time playing [insert your favorite multiplayer title of the last decade] could demonstrate. But, there was a feeling that the creators were above that, men who were educated enough to reject such prejudices.
