Tyler be reading TheBore

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.

at least you're learning, Tyler.

actually, he fucking took my advice too, i told him to take no prisoners just smear her and put the gaming side back up

are we now shadow admin?

[BangaLore]

why would anyone think lore would step down? even a zombie gaf will probably have enough traffic to keep his groping in business.

yep.
He won't be able to sell it and it's his only income.

He has not talent, experience and reputation therefore if he has not saved money or invested them in other ventures he's fucked.

[who is ted danson?]

Whats really funny is we have like 18 years of neogaf posters here and all of them pinpoint another time where the forum went to shit

I think everyone can agree that its when the ads came?

The place had to be super progressive and not ruffle a single feather. Problem is that shit clearly becomes an oroborus.

With a tiny bit of humility, he can make this the best thing to ever happen to his wallet.

1) Simply acknowledge he misread the signals of a woman who was DTF but not DTF at that moment;
2) Apologize for making the same mistakes made by the NFL, DNC and plenty of other entities who bought into identity politics;
3) Proclaim that while dog-piling will still be allowed, banning people for wrong think or anti-pc sentiments is no longer permitted;
4) Unban the entire forum sans Amirox;
5) Enjoy watching his former staff, now competitors, fail miserably until they are eventually accused of wrong think themselves and shut down altogether.
6) Profit by selling ads to actual consumers instead of people just there to circle jerk about oppression.

In other words, basically just follow Trump's campaign strategy while selling ads.

Holy fuck..the balls on Malka..

I have gained a new respect for him. Dis ninja went full "Bitches be acting cray"

Please open OT back up and bring this mentality to it. Let us have a hot babe thread! Draw stick men sexually assualting people!
Put the lulz back in GAF dammit!

Don't be delusional. Wanna know why we made this board in 2006? Cuz gaf censored words like fuck and shit. Why? Advertisers. Why did they lock down on hot girl threads, also probably advertisers requiring no NSFW content. This evi's bread and butter. He needs advertisers more than ever. I can see him not allowing it.

Oh man, this is gonna be fun to watch if he does bring it back. I have no idea what to expect, but it'll be a riot

Ill say it again, if he has an ounce of business intelligence he will swing the doors open and play up his red-pilling and ride the mushroom cloud to one last advertising cash grab until whatever fuckery comes from that implodes.

The draw of open fuckery and conquering Evilore and the anti-GG bastion should be enough to get at least a temporary surge of dumb alt-righters, nostalgia Gaffers, and a few Social Studies Warrior drones to give him one last revenue snatch before the explosion engulfs him.

But he will try and pull some Evilore type shit(like just revising the gaming sections) and it will be a spectacular failure in all likelihood.

He says some stuff towards the end of the article.

[Optimus]

I understand not trusting white people. I mean, their track record in this country is....dire. I still don't fully, in a way. But I'm at a point where I'm not sure where not trusting them and going full on with it really achieves anything besides creating hate in your heart. At the same time, I don't blame anyone else for doing so. The hate is justified, but at the same time the hate is well and truly poisonous if you get me.

Yeah, but it goes beyond simply not trusting white people though. If you've watched any of the MTV decoded videos you would know it is full on political rhetoric. There was a decision by some people on the left to intentionally use this type of rhetoric. It is that which is beyond my comprehension.

Another thing I have problem with is the lack of perspective. Western countres (i.e. white dominant countries) are actually the most tolerant in the world. There are no other countries in the world more tolerant (lol). Yet the rhetoric coming out of the left you would think it is the exact opposite. Sure, historically white people have done some fucked up things, but there has also been a clear line of progress. You'd think nothing has changed.

Tolerant how, exactly? Look at the leaders of industry - almost all white men. Look at the metrics gauging the quality of life among the races, and you'll see that everything from health to education is at staggering lows for black people. Is that just some coincidence? Record unemployment among the black community, ever since Obama was elected, but that's just a small and immaterial blip on the road to progress. Black men and women being lynched in public view by police officers who are never held to account. NFL football players can't even do something as peacefully kneel during the national anthem, in protest of police brutality, without the dominant (white) class erupting in anger. You're fucking delusional or a liar.

If you weren't such a goddamn imbecile and didn't see everything through identity politics coloured glasses you'd be aware of a couple of things called the poverty cycle and social mobility. Social mobility in the US is fucking terrible because it's a deeply capitalist nation so a race that was poor before because of systemic marginalization written into law won't get out of poverty now unless the capitalist system collapses. Your lord and savior Obama liberal geniuses are still bragging about because he was the first black president didn't do shit to help blacks because he continued shilling for the same corrupt neoliberal system. There isn't some vast white conspiracy against blacks, white rich fucks are rich because their daddies were rich and will continue that way until you geniuses stop voting for neoliberal scum like Obama or the Clintons.

And why the hell did he email with a reporter back and forth while claiming to work on THE STATEMENT.

If he did not at least put 50% of his income in investments over these years, he is a damn idiot and should have read Investment GAF a bit for tips. Seriously, if you are making 200-300k (I am assuming afer tax) running an internet forum with little cost and I assume no high debt, you should have at least a million or 2 saved up after the last 10 years.

It would be epic for sure, but  I'm only suggesting he act like a normal fallible person, and keep his site a place to discuss actual video games as opposed to how awful anyone is if they don't think the most important discussion is the game designer's genitalia, skin color, or chosen gender.

[Mr. Nobody]

Malka has not publicly commented on the allegations, but in a series of email exchanges with me over the weekend, he pushed back against the story. The two have not spoken in years, according to Malka. He called Leupp "a deeply disturbed, malicious individual," a characterization Leupp, in an interview with me today, attributed to Malka's attempts to gaslight people over his own behavior.

"It's been a perfect storm of misanthropy and opportunism," said Malka, who described the accusations as "totally ridiculous and baseless."

As for the incident described by Leupp, Malka called it "totally harmonious and consensual."

In response, Malka attempted to defend himself by saying it was a "very specific scenario that went down" where everyone was "smashed, hard, at this million person party where normalcy is thrown out the window," and the woman initiated the act of physical contact. However, in this post and others, Malka goes beyond simply describing one specific incident by offering his beliefs on consent, and why it felt comfortable that he "grabbed her ass hard."

"I do the grab to make things clear that I'm not a doormat free drink generator and I walk away," he said at the time. "Is it an escalation of contact? Yes, somewhat. Is it an initiation of contact? No. Do you still want me to indict me for sexual assault? Probably, and no amount of context is likely to convince you otherwise in that case, but I'm a little disgusted that I would be thought so little of."

When pressed about the incident, and how it looked in light of the latest allegations, Malka called the situation "an extremely poorly worded couple sentences fumbling through in a passage about the events of that day." His description of the events in Spain became far less aggressive, calling it a "cutesy and playful exchange," rather than an act of power to show his dominance. These two characterizations that Malka made of this night could not have been more inconsistent or different from one another.

Malka claims the incident was exaggerated to defame him, a consequence of NeoGAF's strong opposition to GamerGate, even though it was thoroughly discussed on NeoGAF itself.

The future of NeoGAF is unclear. All sorts of NeoGAF alternatives have been popping up, but an heir to the throne is unlikely to emerge so quickly. Just moments ago, Malka told me NeoGAF should be fully operational later this evening, and in the near future, will be restructured to more exclusively focus on video games. NeoGAF will apparently move "away from the increasingly untenable off-topic discussions that made 2017 such a stressful year for everyone."

"As for me, I have no reason to go hide under a rock," he said. "I'll be at the helm as I always have."
