The best part about all of this is that Tyler actually, possibly believes that shit went sideways because of a few hundred bad bans and him getting #MeToo'd.
NeoGAF was EviLore sanctioned trash LONG before Oct 2017. Everyone with a brain knew how shitty GAF had become. Tyler, instead of fixing his forum, went on vacation after vacation and let these cults of personality form, these cliques form, and when everyone finally had enough, they left.
