It was always going to go downhill after this but if ELf had walked back any of that shit from the waypoint interview or his statement to the mods or his past history none of this would have been as bad. Obviously anyone who is hardcore "believe women" would still have gone regardless, but others may not have.

 seems like it's impossible for him to do a mea culpa (even a bullshit one) for fear of what it might do to his ego.

ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS APOLOGIZE FOR HIS BEHAVIOR IN THE WAYPOINT ARTICLE PROFUSELY FOR HIS BEHAVIOR.

That's all he had to do: apologize! Not only that but for past transgressions. And say he was going to get help.

Or, he could have payed his staff to bury his skeletons like all the other normal companies. You either take the shame or spend the money, can't have your cake and eat it.

This man knows. Dignity or Dollars, at least one of them has to be shed to recover the situation. Tyler refused either and now, it looks like he’ll pay both.

The thing about NeoGAF is that EviLore has tied his own personal convictions and interest to the site that he has put himself in a situation that he feels like he can't get away from. EviLore should of enjoyed the ride for what it was and invested for a future after NeoGAF. Going by his decisions, he has not done any planning and has therefore decided to go down with the ship.

His reputation is tarnished. His website is beyond rescue. It's over.

Exactly. Due to excessive hubris, NeoGAF became an extension of his persona, which made no sense. He didn't contribute to the forum in any meaningful way in it's latter years, so connecting GAF to himself and not looking for an exit clause was stupid.

I put it down to extreme laziness and unwillingness to leave his comfort zone. Now he's clinging on to it in a desperate attempt to keep the still cracking pieces together, and if his statement is anything to go by, he seems to believe that this is only a minor problem that will go in time.

No EviLore. Now is the time to adapt and change the situation. You won't be getting 10 million USD offers ever again, so now you have to make a change in site direction, an extreme change. This is not the time to pretend everything is fine.

Either that, or I get to laugh at your 18 year old forum fading into obscurity. Then EviLore won't get to make public statements ever again, unless they're along the lines of "Would you like fries with that?"

When he 'relaunched' this week Evilore should have unbanned all the permabanned old posters who gave the forum life and had actual personalities that weren't consisting of 110% outrage.

Yeah, I get OtreborNightmareCoat and Dennis or whatever - but when people as innocuous and harmlessly fun as SmokeyDave were getting permabanned you have clearly lost your way.

The good news for him now is that every single permaban to a Lime/Spatula type poster makes your competitor that much worse. He should clean house on Liu Kang and Lime immediately.

delicious.

ResetEra was compared when it came to the Super Mario Odyssey OT. Most of the posts on REEEE are just emotional validation for the OP. Such contributions.

Does it matter how many posts a thread has if most of them are "Wow OP, good job"? That's not worthwhile contribution at all.

It demonstrates a level of engagement  which is crucial to a healthy messageboard environment.

The last year on GAF was indeed tumultuous. Tensions were high, but for good reason. This idea that anyone with "different opinions" were shamed, silenced and banned is so overstated. The idea that GAF was filled with "too much politics" is disingenuous and reeks of willful ignorance for the pain and suffering that people have gone through since having their world upended by having to live under a president and government that is blatantly racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and Islamaphobic. If you think those things were not worth talking about, then you are lacking in a basic sense of empathy for what other people experience and have to face on a regular basis.

Is why GAF was dying . I’m Muslim in this country too but I have the self awareness to know that if you call centrists evil and everyone conservative as automatically evil and dogpile such users for having a neutral thought is why the place was toxic, it was tumultous because of the fickle outrage culture and over sensitive idiotic behavior where every move and every word triggered folks into asking if the other poster was conforming to their perceived progressive nature or not

That's what gets me about all this. Has there ever been an example of a more simplistic, self-inflicted wound?

I want to say that EL thought that all of this would blow over pretty quickly and he had enough loyal posters that would come to his defense and dismiss the issue altogether that there wasn't even a need to apologize.

But the fact that he shutdown the forum for two days shows that he was shook.  So it's kind of difficult to understand what the hell this dude's mindset was.

He was making hundreds of thousands per year and working only a few hours per week. His employees were mostly free labor. And now it's gone all gone.

You don't even need high-school to come up with a proper plan on how to grow Neogaf.
You don't need to come up with one.

Ever order dog food from CHewy.com? Guy sold the company for 1 billion+ dollars. His company was sinking at one point, what'd he do? hired some consultants that then ripped zappows business model.

Bam, done.

Don't underestimate the staying power of inertia. The current chaos will pass in a couple of weeks or less as the account suicides run out of accounts and alts and Resetera opens its registration.

Yeah, they've lost a lot of personalities, but new personalities will rise up eventually. NeoGAF will limp along for a while, and in fact, if Tyler isn't a complete idiot (doubtful,) he could even navigate a path to grow the site.

I mean he can't unless he invested well.  The kind of place he has in the Austonian has got to be over a million.  Property taxes in Texas are a bitch - usually 2.7% total for all local taxes which means $27k+ lost per year to living in it assuming he already owns it.

He could downsize and sustain in Manor - a suburb where 1 in 100 residents are sex offenders.  No one wants to have kids there so probably spared taxes for schools.

The only way he can do this is to become unaffiliated with the site.  Pass it onto someone to take charge, pay that person while still taking most of the profits.

Oh I feel you.

I grew up in the south and in a conservative group of people. I'm still recalibrating my speech.

We sat "Indian style" which took me a long time to not slip up on. I knew I shouldn't say it but it would just come out and then I would awkwardly correct myself. "Gypped" was another one I used to use and didn't know what the connotations were until someone pointed it out, I felt bad. Lots of other more embarrassing ones I had instilled in me. My sincerest apologies for all the negativity I spread with my speech throughout the years.

"You guys" definitely a carry over that I'd like to drop. I'd love to hear from any minorities on how we can use more encouraging and inclusive language here! So I welcome their thoughts.

The funniest part is that the other pops aren't even white, they are yellow.

They might be yellow but they're meant to be white, just like anime characters!

"Indian style" and "you guys" are things that are just absurd snowflake bullshit to complain about...  maybe it's the new frontier after "cheeseburger" is somehow universally awful, but it's not like "gypped."

I sit with my mouth gaped wide open when i read stuff like this. How many transgenders are there in the world? How many that recognize as 'non-binary'?

Yet they want all of civilization to up and change vocabulary so they don't feel "unsafe" like wowwwww these people are serious with this shit? It boggles the mind.

Locked, thankfully.  Fucking people, man.

I like the mod's response.  I'm feeling kind of optimistic about risottoera.

I don't care how many of a certain group there are, if I can adjust my language to not piss off people, it doesn't take any effort. Sure I'll be happy to. It's not tough.

If it's not 'indian style' wtf is it?

can you imagine one of those people being your boss? christ.


"Indian style" and "you guys" are things that are just absurd snowflake bullshit to complain about...  maybe it's the new frontier after "cheeseburger" is somehow universally awful, but it's not like "gypped."

"Gypped" and "Jewed" are explicitly a racist commentary on how everyone in this ethnic group is supposedly going to fuck you over

Equating that to "you guys" is batshit crazy.

I'd actually argue that gypped moved past its origins. It became such common parlance in many places that it's original meaning of an attack was pretty much gone. I'd guess that 99% of people who use the term have NO idea what its origin is. Now it may be brought back, and thus make its original meaning more well known.

I miss the threads on GAF that brought up gypsies and after all the dozens of threads of virtue signalling and lecturing each other about racism you just have a couple Europeans always going ham on how much they hate gypsies and people don't really know how to react because it's outside of their knowledge of ethnic/racial interactions.

Really?  Because the yellow pops are also supposed to be ninjas, as I said in my edit.

You're willing to go to jail for potentially using the wrong pronoun to describe a person? Canada passed a law for this. It's a hate crime if you fuck up someone's gender now over there lol.

Sorry, but if that means i have to vote for a conservative prick to avoid something like this than so be it.
