i don't know how to get back to the thread page from this link

This has been pissing me off about all the slaent links. You just can't jump back to the thread, you have to flip the page, then turn it back and Ctrl+F the post. Fucking what.

Swollen Bowels worst addition. And we had Opiate and IrishNinja coming in.

Looks like GAF is coming back up, so if you could all form a que to the left (get it?) and exit in a safe manner. Nice seeing y'all.

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.

You mean they want their echo-chamber back where they don't want their opinions challenged.

First, is there something inherently wrong with an "echo chamber"? Is there a problem fostering a community where rank bigotry was deem unacceptable and forbidden? Also, can you give me some examples of valid opinions that GAF refused the expression of? Or, what opinions on GAF were deemed above reproach and undeserving of challenge?

An echo chamber is wrong in the case of Gaf as actual real discussion was frowned upon unless you were on the 'right' page with the loudest voices in those threads.

Look many of us are open minded fair people but here's the difference we don't thrown our toys out the pram if someone challenges our world or political thinking.

There used to be a time on Gaf where people of different political persuasions could actually discuss back and forth their thoughts and ideas in POLIgaf and leave maybe a bit more changed and knowledgeable on their worldview.

Gaf became a place where some very strange people gathered who wanted any reality to be crushed and refocused to only how they saw the world.

That creates a place as we saw where reality is not welcome. and the hunt for true 'purity' leads to everyone knifing each other in the back.

imagine if the shower things happened to someone else in a different age. dorky website owner gets the wrong impression from the hot babe using him for a free trip to vegas, she heads into the bathroom he misreads all her nauseous signals from love drunk come ons. he thinks he's the fucking don and has a five minute scene infront of the mirror geeing himself up, breaking out the aftershave he stole from his dad before awkwardly slipping himself into the shower - babe turns around and screams, he fumbles for a towel to cover his raging 4" bone and runs down and out with his bare ass in the breeze through the hotel lobby into the bushes to the tune of superman by goldfinger.

As a long time lurker, both here and NeoGAF (500 some posts since 2004 and 1 post here since 2006), I'd like to thank fistfull for summing up my thoughts on what people like me used GAF for. Reading reactions and viewing fast moving threads as a good way to pass the time. I'll miss it.

Wait, it did? I didn't know this, lol

You missed it?  Once people had realized that the moderation staff had given up on trying to contain the news/rebellion, whenever somebody asked what was going on a trio of images got spammed.  The first was the Facebook capture, the second was the Spanish groping tale, and the third was your final post on NeoGAF with the Turkey story (http://i.imgur.com/OxCiCJS.png).

OpinionatedCyborg was throwing it up all over the place.

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

Is headwalk duckroll? Because if you are you can get fucked you son of bitch.

[border]

Now when you search for anything NeoGAF or EviLore, all you get are sexual assault accusations.

Sexual assault allegations have been like the first or second result of a Google Search for "Tyler Malka" or "Evilore" for like, years at this point.  This is not a new development at all.

The Reddit hate crowd are SEO experts, and managed to push those results to the top of the list a long time ago.  That's why it rings so false when people who could have said something (moderators, journalists) are like "Oh, I had no idea".

He just constantly does the same shtick; which is to post as if he's a racist / clueless troll.

[Leadbelly]

Well this Evilore commotion lead me here. It certainly is an interesting turn of events.

I was permanently banned from GAF, and it seemed like it was politically motivated. It was interesting reading Opiate's comments on this. His demodding seemed politically motivated too.

The reason given officially for my ban was apparently calling Carrie Fisher 'ugly' (before she died). I didn't actually call her ugly, I wrote that she looked like shit before she lost some weight. The context was Carrie Fisher bemoaning Hollywood beauty standards for feeling that she needed to lose weight. She was unhealthily obese for goodness sake, it really seemed inappropriate to be blaming Hollywood for it. That's not to say there isn't merit in criticising Hollywood, it's just that she was in no position to. Anyway that was what got me a permanent ban.

The thing was though, that wasn't all that was written as a reason for my ban. The admin then went on to accuse me of being a secret MRA. While acknowledging that I don't actually identify as a MRA, the admin went on to accuse me of being one covertly and apparently it was really transparent. I think a good translation for people who are sane would be: I am someone who always weighed in on controversial subjects with opinions that were contrary to the post-modern social justice worldview that GAF wanted to promote and propagate. You couldn't possibly hold such opinions -- in the minds of the admins on GAF -- without being an MRA. It's that same paranoid conspiratorial thinking you got from a lot of the members on GAF that used to drive me crazy (lol).

Interestingly, my ban occured before 'alt-right' really came into common vernacular. If it happened today I probably would have been accused of being a secret 'alt-right' agent, trying to infiltrate and subvert GAF.

So, yeah, an interesting turn of events...

Yeah, I got banned for a week a few years back because I called out bullshit a series of red herrings/strawman against Libertarians.  Since then I largely avoid those threads and they're mostly posts calling Libertarians idiots.

Refreshing here to see a wide political spectrum again that's able to voice their opinion.  This is more GAF than neoGAF has been in the last 8 years.

Not exactly interested in slaent cross forum drama. Dude's decided we were hotdog platypus tier a long time ago and that won't change. It doesn't help that we'd rather engage with etiolate and JayDubya instead of banning them as soon as they say something that doesn't sit well with the rest of us. They decided what they want their community to be and more power to them

Seems like we need a little something to get our minds off all the rest of the bullshit. So we can move on from having large swaths of posts in minutes and the bore can go back to the chill small town it always was. Something important like:

Who honestly believes in this resetera bs?

The forum will mainly be a "progressive forum" with a gaming section slapped on. NeoGAF, how terrible it once became was mainly a gaming forum that let its OT section take over the discourse.

If EviLore was smart, he'd shut that section down to get rid of the aids. Instead of running his joint, he was busy sexually assaulting women.

Enjoy unemployment Tyler.

I'm with you. The links I posted were more to made fun of people here (and not there) or lift some info (They have better source to that Discord stuff, I'd say) but I guess that this inevitably can feed into a so called "beef" loop even if it's not the intention. Their GAF drama thread will be closed in a few days anyway and I imagine most newbies won't stick (they rarely do).
