"Okay, so, this is a personal and somewhat complex web of nonsense involving a highly unstable individual I was friends and briefly FWBs with, but I can only assume there will be a never-ending clusterfuck on gaf now until the end of time, which inevitably involves you guys and gals on the mod team in some way, so I'm an open book here. The woman in question ended up being completely psychotic and held a grudge against me after a bizarre love triangle situation developed a few years ago between me, her, and another girl (the other girl I ended up in a long-term relationship with shortly thereafter). This NOLA story she apparently just put up on social media is a delusion of a deeply disturbed person who had a total psychological breakdown as a result of me and the other girl getting together, because she (phew, yeah...) became obsessively infatuated with the other girl (she's bi) on sight when the three of us met up. I wanted to just stay friends with the girl making the accusation and made it super super clear ahead of time that me and the other girl were interested in each other romantically and that could play out as such when we met up. Supposedly this was not a problem for her from accusation, but in reality she uhhh wanted me to die painfully after seeing me and the other girl interact. Plus she became infatuated with the other girl simultaneously to this (she's bi), which created the aforementioned bizarre love triangle that ended up causing her to implode and have an apparently very intense and long-lasting grudge. The whole story about how that love triangle thing played out is, frankly, nuts and scary, and involves this girl bringing us to a compound of dangerous scientology spinoff cultists on that same trip, who roofied us, attempted to recruit/scam me and attempted to abduct/rape the girl I ended up dating, in what was a fucking scary situation that resulted in me and the other girl and the rest of my friend circle never speaking to this girl from the accusation again."

Enjoy.

confirmed with some ex-mods that this is legit

Wow  :lol

Time for A Change

With the turbulence brought about by the fall of an online titan, we seek to establish a new stronghold for video game culture and discussion online. The current lack of transparency leaves the Old Guard of the previous community in a position of dubious speculation, and we strive to develop our new home online free from whatever remnants of wrongdoing that might linger among their ranks. To wipe the community's hands free of such risk, this project can be considered a "fork" of sorts: One made by normal users, for normal users, with no previous personal affiliations with previous moderation cliques. We seek not to reset the amazing history of the gaming community, but to learn from it and move forward.[/br] Building a new home takes time and resources. As we undergo the recruiting process, and establish the necessary infrastructure to bring a fresher, healthier community to fruition, donations are greatly appreciated. There are no corporate sponsors for this project, only people who wish to keep a community alive and well. As such, funds are limited. Donation addresses NEO and ETH (no identifying information = no dox) are below. BTC donation address will be implemented after the wallet lockdown has ended.



momma's coming home. fuck reset.

Just call yourself a women and be done with it.
As you post and get acclimated with our new forum, channel your energy into reconstruction. Do not fall victim to petty arguments, do not capitalize on every opportunity to be negative, and remember that everyone here is a refugee. Seek positive conversation.

She's in your fucking hotel room you stupid fuck. And no one is saying his move wasn't distinguished mentally-challenged but it doesn't constitute a predator, just a really dumb idiot. Like you for not understanding context.

oh that's right i totally forgot that if someone enters your hotel room they are totally up for grabs and you can fuck them whether they actually indicate interest or not

please do the bore a favor and actually kill yourself

Oh my! The SocJuice is flowing here. You will fit right in whenever Resetera goes live. Better find your Era rep quick.

I don't get why people are defending that random weirdo no one knew about before 2 days ago.

Why defend Evilore on this to begin with?

Not defending but according to the new details she obviously didn't think it was a big deal at the time because she continued having a relationship with him and even had sex with him later so yeah she got over it pretty fast.

Now 2 years later she became triggered for some reason. Just another metoo drama queen.

it's a known defect in bisexual women to suddenly remember past scenarios that made them uncomfortable simply at a whim to emasculate rugged men like evilore

they're also known to latch onto social movements that are really just attention-grabbing, amirite?

i actually did a little digging myself on the girl in question. i followed a few leads on her social media (i spoofed my way onto her friends list) and kept seeing her making mention of the same date in various cryptic ways. fourteenth of march '15.  over and over 3/14/15. i don't know if its her birthday or whatever but given the weight of the whole lore thing i thought this date must have had some significance, maybe when they first met. the timeline just about matches up and it certainly came across pretty obsessive which fit with lore's cultist claims.

still i kept seeing that date: 3/14/15, 3/14/15. then i saw a post with more cryptic rantings which had a time attached to it. 9 26. no AM or PM, but it must have been something immediate for her to remember the exact minute.

so 3/14/15 at 9 26. she talked about this number like she coveted it. like it was somehow at the core of her identity. then came a post with the exact second. 3/14/15 at 9 26 and 53 seconds. it must have been a lightning bolt of a moment with defined her going forward.

then it hit me:

The state of NeoGAF #1
Hi.

An allegation of sexual misconduct has been made against me by an ex. It's not true, the individual making the accusation isn't credible, the story doesn't reconcile logically with the facts, and there's plenty of evidence and witnesses to corroborate that. It'll be a process.

All allegations of this nature are serious, of course. I first got word of it on Wednesday when a screenshot of a Facebook post was handed to Voat. I immediately talked with my mod team about the contents of the screenshot and clarified that it was baseless and explained some of the details concerning my former associations with her, and tried to ensure any concerns from the team were addressed fully and transparently to everyone's satisfaction. On Thursday I heard that she had deleted the accusation from Facebook, and wasn't entirely sure how to proceed from there or how this would all play out in the public space at that point. Then, Friday morning, the screenshot made its way to NeoGAF and chaos ensued.

I was in the process of writing a statement that entire day to address formally address the allegation, but the community had erupted in a flash that morning. While the moderation team was trying to restore the peace, accusations and threats concerning the screenshot started shifting to them as well by association with me, and I was asked by my team to do something to fix things and get the heat off of all of them at least. I was beyond exhausted by that point, though, stretched too thin in the time since the post had first appeared and seeing unprecedented events unfold on NeoGAF. I was slow and weak. I failed to handle it quickly enough and let the team down. Before I could finish a statement and get it out there, understandably some mods hit their emotional limit, expressed concerns about the community coming after them, and decided to leave. A few people resigned, and many more quickly followed for similar reasons, citing stress and harassment. The site started breaking under load spikes leading up to the first resignations, too, and then flatlined altogether, so issuing a statement at that time on NeoGAF itself became impossible for the time being, and my attention shifted toward the moderation team's future.

Since that whole mess, lasting from Friday morning through Saturday, before we formally went offline for maintenance and repair and restructure, we've just been trying to figure out the best course of action for NeoGAF going forward. And as stories began being published by various outlets, I issued some comments to the press, since everything coming out was proving to be sensationalized, opportunist, and unprofessional.


We've all become increasingly stressed and weary this year in ways even I'm not accustomed to by now, and discussions on heated news, political issues, and social issues on the off-topic side of the site have become areas no one has wanted to moderate in the open for fear of backlash or just general exposure to the inevitable toxicity. I've gone in there myself to take the heat, since it's very much my responsibility to do so before anyone else's, but there's been little headway, mostly just more anger and resentment and a lot of bans. I don't think this necessarily reflects on our community; more so the tone of the entire internet this year with regards to heated issues.

That's all going to inform the way forward for NeoGAF as we refocus on what the main goals are supposed to be for the site. The mod team will talk about more specifics on what that will entail below.


One last thing. The NeoGAF mod team is here for this community; all of you. You have no obligations to respect me or believe anything I say about my personal life one way or another, but if you're going to be here and participate on NeoGAF, respect the mod team by following the rules and behaving. The team is diminished at the moment and the folks who stuck around care very much about this community and its future. Be considerate of them. That's non-negotiable.

Thanks.

Reset Era sounds incredibly dumb.  Although GAF was somewhat exclusive, most got accounts.  It seems Reset era will be even more insular and cliquey.

I bet they will copy the waypoint registration feature of first asking you what your pronoun is
no way

If they don't want people to joke about "i identify as a dolphin" maybe you should tell the people who make up their gender on tumblr to shut the fuck up.

Look at this fucking shit.

"I identify as a dolphin" is fucking apt and I'm fucking trans.

Holy shitsnacks. You showed me something mind-blowing today, Cindi.

I believe I am Autigender: a gender that can only be understood in the context of being autistic.

I prefer the prounouns’s Aut, Aut’s, autself.

Kthx.

I don't it's particularly funny, honestly the way people are acting like joining neogaf was like joining a cult which tortured people is fucking horrific. All while posting from sites like Voat or 8chan.

Why can't we all just be totally harmonious and consensual?
I can be, but only if you ply me with a bit of drink first.

I'll have to wait until after you throw up, though.

The state of NeoGAF #1
Hi.

An allegation of sexual misconduct has been made against me by an ex. It's not true, the individual making the accusation isn't credible, the story doesn't reconcile logically with the facts, and there's plenty of evidence and witnesses to corroborate that. It'll be a process.

All allegations of this nature are serious, of course. I first got word of it on Wednesday when a screenshot of a Facebook post was handed to Voat. I immediately talked with my mod team about the contents of the screenshot and clarified that it was baseless and explained some of the details concerning my former associations with her, and tried to ensure any concerns from the team were addressed fully and transparently to everyone's satisfaction. On Thursday I heard that she had deleted the accusation from Facebook, and wasn't entirely sure how to proceed from there or how this would all play out in the public space at that point. Then, Friday morning, the screenshot made its way to NeoGAF and chaos ensued.

I was in the process of writing a statement that entire day to address formally address the allegation, but the community had erupted in a flash that morning. While the moderation team was trying to restore the peace, accusations and threats concerning the screenshot started shifting to them as well by association with me, and I was asked by my team to do something to fix things and get the heat off of all of them at least. I was beyond exhausted by that point, though, stretched too thin in the time since the post had first appeared and seeing unprecedented events unfold on NeoGAF. I was slow and weak. I failed to handle it quickly enough and let the team down. Before I could finish a statement and get it out there, understandably some mods hit their emotional limit, expressed concerns about the community coming after them, and decided to leave. A few people resigned, and many more quickly followed for similar reasons, citing stress and harassment. The site started breaking under load spikes leading up to the first resignations, too, and then flatlined altogether, so issuing a statement at that time on NeoGAF itself became impossible for the time being, and my attention shifted toward the moderation team's future.

Since that whole mess, lasting from Friday morning through Saturday, before we formally went offline for maintenance and repair and restructure, we've just been trying to figure out the best course of action for NeoGAF going forward. And as stories began being published by various outlets, I issued some comments to the press, since everything coming out was proving to be sensationalized, opportunist, and unprofessional.


We've all become increasingly stressed and weary this year in ways even I'm not accustomed to by now, and discussions on heated news, political issues, and social issues on the off-topic side of the site have become areas no one has wanted to moderate in the open for fear of backlash or just general exposure to the inevitable toxicity. I've gone in there myself to take the heat, since it's very much my responsibility to do so before anyone else's, but there's been little headway, mostly just more anger and resentment and a lot of bans. I don't think this necessarily reflects on our community; more so the tone of the entire internet this year with regards to heated issues.

That's all going to inform the way forward for NeoGAF as we refocus on what the main goals are supposed to be for the site. The mod team will talk about more specifics on what that will entail below.


One last thing. The NeoGAF mod team is here for this community; all of you. You have no obligations to respect me or believe anything I say about my personal life one way or another, but if you're going to be here and participate on NeoGAF, respect the mod team by following the rules and behaving. The team is diminished at the moment and the folks who stuck around care very much about this community and its future. Be considerate of them. That's non-negotiable.

Thanks.

ITS ARRIVED

The future of NeoGAF will be a return to what many of us have come here for, a place where we can gather together and enjoy our shared hobby of video games. For a short time, Off-Topic Discussion and Off-Topic Community will be closed so that we can rediscover that. We'll be starting with a clean slate when they come back. However, the focus will be on the many other hobbies we may have like TV, movies, anime, writing, music, etc. Political and social discourse will not be allowed in the new Off-Topic. Those types of discussions greatly added to the harsh and unwelcoming atmosphere of Off-Topic, which pushed many users away.

Moderation will also see changes. Over the years, moderators changed from simply people who made sure discussion stay civil into personalities. It's because of that, many were targeted for harassment and other things. This shouldn't be happening to them. We've taken action to protect these people by making moderation anonymous. There will be no more red-names that single them out nor will there be a list of who is one.
