FGC would have 90% of the video game half of this site to themselves even if they only posted 1/3rd as much as they do now.

one of the few communities from GAF i wouldn't mind clogging up this board's arteries wholesale.

I've tried to get more people to come here, but most think this place is too "gross" and want something more like gaf.  :-\

i'm actually kind of angry about that, could've just made a reddit sub for free (you can abuse mod power all you want there, too) and all that money could have gone to a nice charity where it would have done some good

Is this new, under the neogaf banner

NeoGAF is a nexus of hardcore gamers, enthusiast press, and video game industry developers and publishers. This is a neutral ground where facts and evidence, presented within the confines of civil, inclusive discourse, prevail through careful moderation.
No, both of those lies have been there for many years now, the last redesign I think. I couldn't dig up enough people for a false advertising class action.

That's kind of funny because I was just saying this place feels more like GAF than GAF has for years.

The only thing negative about this place from the perspective of an outsider is that there doesn't seem to be a lot of discussions going on, and the ones that are going on are filled with in-jokes and shitposts... which is to be expected when you have a small tight-knit community that's been around for over a decade.

this...this is not how you start a forum if you're just a bunch of users

you buy some server space and stick some good forum software on it, then do add-ons, customize the style sheets, etc. hell, use phpbb for all i care

you look into migrating to this down the road when your servers collapse due to E3

i wonder how much my middle sentence there gives away the last time i worked on setting up forums or even CMS's for a website

It's dying a slow death. Lowtax probably mismanaged SA to an even greater degree than Evilore. He had legit million dollar opportunities to cash out and at one point that site was a huge part of internet culture. SA went through similar issues as GAF where it became overrun with unpaid catlady moderators who were very ban-happy. Thing is, you gotta pay 10 bux to get an account there. And 10 bux for an avatar. And 10 bux for search. And 10 bux for archives. etc. And if you are banned, you lose all of the upgrades you've paid for.

On the subject of Lowtax, here he is getting his shit kicked in by Uwe Boll:

And getting a surprise welcome by his forum users at an airport:

Man, that sounds truly shitty. Are FGC Gaf aware that many of the people rallying against them are the same people from GAF that complained about Chun Li costumes at dialy?

On the plus side, it'll be easy to know if Slayven banned you when your ban message is no longer than eight words and has at least one grammatical or spelling error.
This makes me wonder purely out of curosity, can/could NeoGAF.com mods put images in the ban message? Or use italics or bold like Bobby Roberts?

Bulleta doesn't have to answer just because she's in here as I truly direct all my NeoGAF.com moderation questions at you know who.
