Let's be honest. This rejection of Tyler isn't just a rejection of Tyler, it's a rejection of Bish/Besada/what is perceived as GAF's moderation.

It depends on the person. Considering the amount of fellating of the ERA crew I see up there a lot of it IS a rejection of Tyler. Most people don't seem to get that the entire fucking culture of GAF administration was shit. Malka was never as far left as he claimed he was, and he built up a community that allowed witch hunts against wrong think, only to be done in by the same.

You're welcome to think that, and there is certainly an argument for the position that GAF just got lucky. I do not agree, however. I can go in to detail if necessary, but I fear many are already rather bored with my verbosity, which has clearly not been assuaged by the passing of time.

I will say you guys did some things right:

1) Banning ad-hominem attacks; most people on the internet favor that sort of atmosphere (although IMO, as the site got worse, it wasn't so much banned.. just allowed for whoever was being piled on, and not for the person being piled on)

2) NOT allowing discussion of moderation on the forums. That's an important one;  once you allow it, you end up with these endless arguments with people and it never works out as nobody will ever "Agree" for the most part who was mad at moderators

3) The waiting period to create accounts... which only worked because the forum had more than enough users, but that single act made it really difficult to spam/account suicide, etc.  Combine it with relatively strict moderation and that combination did foster a decent atmosphere because people were REALLY careful about being banned.  But again, that only mattered because the forum had tons of users.

way late and still catching up... but holy shit take that dick out of your mouth

Hey bud? You're a fucking coward, as evidenced by displacing or erasing communities with zero notice. Mental Health thread, trans thread, LGBT threads, other minority threads where people may have only had each other as a support system.

But hey, gotta protect that ego right? Peace.
This video game forum was never itended to solve all of these people’s many problems.

Thanks for bringing the board back. I cannot condemn anyone in good conscience without knowing all of the facts.

There is a reason innocent until proven guilty is written in the law. Without evidence, condemning someone is pretty ridiculous.

Sue the person making the allegations if you contest that she lied.

Your name can only be cleared in the courts at this point.

The court of public opinion is the most tyrannical of them all. - Orwell.

Otherwise I am saddened, as I only used OT discussion to participate in NaNoWriMo annually. This whole thing will really set back my motivation to complete it this year (as I've done every other year for awhile now).

Whether NeoGAF recovers or not is entirely up to you going after the accuser. The hive will not take a denial at face value, they will require you to go through the motions. And if you don't go after the accuser, that is as much an admission of guilt as not.

Not saying I believe you or not, I don't know what to believe. But I like the community you've made, and this is as Joss Whedon esque as it comes.

I'd take issue with this and say that there was both a "good" amount of mod'ing in some threads (PoliGAF was always a welcoming place for good faith arguments on both sides), and not enough enough mod'ing for the general OT politics threads (like, every Bernie or Hillary thread descended into name-calling relitigating of the Primary by the same people).

To place any "blame" on the politics of the hour, or "that's the way the internet is" is sticking your head in the sand. GamerGate was a breeding ground for Nazis partly because there wasn't enough "mod'ing" elsewhere on the internet, and partly because the partisan nature of console wars and DF threads on places like GAF encourages a "take no prisoners, fuck the otherside's opinion" mentality. Gaming and nerd/geek culture is a swamp of gate-keeping, ignorance, memes, "defensiveness as masculinity" and a whole lot more.

Gaming side was great in a lot of ways - so much knowledge, and so many people helping others out. The Performance threads alone were amazing, and then there's emulator threads, LTTP/RTTP. But to remove OT as though people talking about anything from Hillary Clinton to misogyny in The Big Bang Theory were to blame... It simply punts the issue down the road.

A few days before the site shut down someone tried to harness the Twitter hate sphere that routinely threatens to murder someone and aimed it at the wrong person.

These "harassment is bad" people are perfectly fine with that behavior. Don't let them fool you.

Jontron argued against immigration on the basis that immigrants "dilute the gene pool", and aside from a week or two of snarky response videos, dude has even more subscribers than ever.

"I am a raging alcoholic. No lie, I am having my third 75/25 Jack Coke right now. I have no regrets, it's who I am.

I'm divorced, somewhat from my own faults and somewhat from hers. It happens.

I have a few kids out there. One I know for sure to be mine, but I ain't paying for any of them. That makes me a deadbeat father I guess.

I work a dead end job, making dead end money, which is a situation that will never improve due to my lack of education and the motivation to further it.

I'll never be internet famous (infamous?) like you. But thats probably for the better.

In the end I will die alone, unloved, and forgotten. Buried in a paupers grave with nobody to mourn my loss.

BUt you know what you slimey piece of shit? None of that matters, because at least I can say this: I NEVER SEXUALLY ASSAULTED A WOMAN AND BLAMED HER. Seriously, you fucking pathetic spec of a man, that alone makes you far worse than me. And here's why...

1: I will die forgotten, you will live on forever on the internet as the rapist who ran a gaming forum.

2: Same as number one. (I'm working back here, did your elf intelligence pick that up yet?)

3: You life was this forum, which will now forever be tainted by the RAPIST that runs it. It is your legacy.

4: My kids will never know me, and never know my sins. Any child unfortunate to have you as a father will eventually google their daddies name, and then have to ask you sexually assaulted women. Have fun with that.

5: Any woman that knows you will know your game. Good luck finding true love now, you don't deserve it.

6: If you aren't a raging booze hound yet, you will be soon. As your world crumbles around you, and everything you have worked so hard for vanishes, that bottle will just look better and better. You'll give in, it's only a matter of time.

All in all, you're a fuckstain upon the gaming community at large and quite frankly an amazingly ugly human being. Enjoy watching your empire burn, because lord knows the rest of us are.

P.S: With an apology like that, GAF isn't the place to post. If you want to play the victim in all of this and be held like a baby, go to 4chan. I hear they love people that victim blame and treat women as objects. You'll fit right in."

Great to have GAF back and it is great that GAF is returning to it's roots. I come here for the video game chat it is my number one source of news and reviews of games.

Whilst I understand that Off Topic will return in a limited way I really do hope we get sections were we can discuss TV/Films.

I personally do not care what happened outside of this board, it is really none of my business. I just want to get back to talking about games and TV shows.
