I think they're gonna make it over there.

I dont know about GAF tho..I mean, it could just trudge along hobbled for a few months slowly rebuilding. Or it could be truely dead.

EL cant be that fucked can he? He had to be making a couple grand a month right? He wouldnt have been stupid enough to blow through could he have? I mean, any smart person would have invested large chunks of the profits, he had almost no over head right?
Best option for him would be live off that and sell GAF asap. Perhaps grab a quick Mil or so right?

Could always rebrand, let it be edgy as fuck. Play into the crowd dominating Youtube right now. Not sure you can monetize that tho. I watch a few Alt channels for lulz who lost monetization recently.
Is their room for 2 progressive sights now?

I dunno...I think GAF will survive but I think its high traffic, big $$ making days are over..time to capitalize on a new direction or sell asap. But, I think the elf might be to muchof a narcissists and will ride GAF into the flames.

Really hope, for his sake, he put money away.

I'll be honest, don't think Resetera will last as long as some of y'all think.

In a few weeks a lot of the 3000 people posting will just give up. It won't be exciting anymore, it doesn't have exactly everything they would want, and they'll move on. I hope it's a success for the people involved but I'll give it a few weeks before I say so.

Either way even if it continues to exist with half the member that's a major blow to GAF (the hits keep on coming) which will never be like it was before this mess anyway. So that's cool.

The design is still godawful. Looks like a web 2.0 version of an early aughts free forum toolkit.

People on gaf regularly relegated themselves into communities that had 10 active users at best. I think the new forum smell will lasted, especially since they aren't going back to gaf.

How did forums like this get started? Probably similar numbers to start no?

the admins or whatever were initially arguing whether or not they'd be allowed in the first place. one of them went into the pop discord and pretty much told them that they were fine, but they're basically on thin ice from the jump

Did they give any other communities or posting habits scrutiny like this?

i doubt it. i mean, popgaf was like the only community that i know of that was wholesale banned from existing on Gaf and not given the opportunity to rebuild, but they wanted back in and have connections through royalan. he's a mod at resetera so i guess the hope is that he will keep the aids contained to their thread, but if they step out of line theyre gone.

PopGAF at resetera?

I want to be honest for a sec here. Its the overall bullshit right now...

The Social Studies Warriors imo will soon be run by the gangs (if they not already in the Latinx by ms-13 and the like) because what it seems to me is that they cant rely on the Dems big tent. I have been noticing something very fucking strange, but it made sense with the whole 21 Savage joining the whole Slut Walk thing - in order for these folks to even have their way in the dialogue, they need some way to enforce the ideal in the short term.

The sad truth is that the ethnic gangs are the only ones that have the money outside of the rich donors for the SSW to even exist for this long. The Antifa thing the FBI knew in April of 2016, FBI also made statements that there is a Black Extremist Movements (the way they phrase it is a massive dog whistle to be honest, but there still the crips and the bloods, and the other smaller gangs that surround as muscle for BLM, even though they VEHEMENTLY disagree with some of BLM solutions concerning queer folk) The Dems and the SSW are gonna break up in 2018 and where is the latter going to go?

They are making a massive bet that Hollywood/Silicon Valley will have better representation of ethnic groups/women after this Harvey mess, but they are in for a rude fucking awaking. And many of those groups in these liberal colleges are all going to go back to their communities. You think they dont have a game plan with all the connections they have from college? Its share and share alike.

Plus footnote to all this, how the fuck these SSW prostitutes (actual prostitutes, escorting is still prostitution) getting there cash to live from especially if there ethnic and especially they in the LBGT community? The dude from Evergreen when he gets back home has 6 or 7 "generous men" lined up and at least 5 have had priors or connected to the gangs, and they are on the DL and they keep secrets like we see with rentacenter.

Fucking Blare White and Riley Davis were both prostitutes before they became woke on each end and their partners were former clientele. Fuck out of here with this e-celeb bullshit. All the SSW wants is a leader that can kill these "Nazi's" en masse and they will follow them to the ends of the earth. Thats why the FBI is trying to get the gangs out first before this takes place.

I’m seeing GAF dying as sign to get off the internet.  I wasted so much time on it.  Blessing in disguise.

You know what? I was thinking the exact same thing. I have spent FAR too much of my life posting and lurking on message boards. And the collapse of GAF (well, the collapse of OT GAF) felt like it could do me some good. I'm definitely not as into video games as I once was. I spend far more of my time talking about college football and tennis (and these days, I play as much tennis as the day will allow me). But staying over at GAF feels weird considering 1) that I know jack shit about video games these days, and 2) the revelations of EviLore and Amir0x.

But you're right: it could definitely be a blessing in disguise.

I gotta say though. They're kinda pathetic in that they had a chance to reset GAF and decided to just copy gafs entire motif in gaming, gaming community, off topic, off topic community. It's wack and that set up been old hat for years. If they were smart, once they get enough users, they'd make a sports forum, a politics forum, a gaming troll forum for people to get that out of their system and ban anyone who makes trolls or system warz in the main gaming forum. But they won't. Because they're gaffers and gaffers never learn. :rejoice

From several pages ago, but I have to disagree. Sure, initially I thought that gaf might have benefited from having subforums when it got really big, but consolidating all non-gaming discussion to one subforum seemed to actually be a better move, imo. It's also smart in that, by making sure everything aggregates in one forum, it provides the impression that there's way more activity than there probably would have been otherwise with multiple subforums.

Resetera looks like it's going to serve it's purpose just fine and be exactly what the users want, so I'm not really sure it's a failure other than they'll have to figure out some scaling and load balancing concerns. If people end up eating themselves it's not like that wasn't already happening on gaf and that never came to a proper head. The only reason gaf imploded was because of the expose made on Evilore's sexual harassment. Obviously a place with hands on moderation is going to have it's own drama.

At this point I'm not sure I'm really seeing anything that I haven't seen before, people are back to their bubbles and the same old communication woes.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing too. Hopefully it will work out for the folks at the new forum. I've been visiting gaf for about 9 years now. Now I'll just visit a couple more forums that didn't exist until this week or I didn't know existed until this week. After all of this, I've got more choices.

The weirdest thing is that the victim who came forward has been pretty much erased. The new forum won't discuss it, and the old forum is now obsessed with the "response" rather than any thing else. Predictable I guess!

reading that waypoint article, she apparently didn't intend for this to blow up at all so maybe that's for the best

Oh, so they finally managed to get it up, huh.
