Tbh that stuff will surely be played out by then. It's already tedious now. Only a handful have been legitimately funny.

Although thinking abut it gaf knows how to run a funny thing into the ground very quickly. So yeah some people may be waiting for that.

I don't know, for someone with such a large ego, the events can't be good for Tyler. I figure he's pretty close to a breakdown. We're entering Jason Russell territory.

Some well informed people are suspecting that some mods and a few members were preparing to leave some time ago, when Evilore made a post about "the left turning on itself" and the fact that he called out a mod for banning users that disagreed with him. Those people were just waiting for an opportunity and the rest is history. They felt neogaf was not a "safe" (read "the perfect echo chamber") place anymore because Evilore changed side a little. Malka isn't an extremist leftist like the worst of gaf, so those members and some mods never liked him that much, they were just afraid of speaking their mind but the "shower" story was the perfect occasion to make their plan.

Nah that shit is more distinguished mentally-challenged than the people who think it is a Russian conspiracy.

This whole debacle is like a fascinating experiment.  When all is said and done six months to a year down the line you could write a thesis on the fall of GAF and the aftermath.

What astonishes me is the speed of it all - literally overnight.  Just mind-boggling.

And I'm also 100% sure you're condemning Malka despite the fact that the allegation against him are 0.01% of those allegations against Bill Clinton.

Eh, a lot of talk is now the previous OT did witch hunts and created a chilling effect where other views were banned immediately.

You got people who super support NeoGAF now saying discussions are important and we should be civil with people who think differently (bigots).

That vilifying bigots is bad because it ruins discourse.

I'm sorry, but NeoGAF is quickly turning alt-right and you're going to see more of this coming. This place is not welcoming ATM.

 

[Occam]

Not even that, they even drove away those with access to actual NPD data (NPD_George/NDP Mulcair and Aquamarine), so for the last two years there were no more NPD numbers on NeoGAF.

Yeah, and now a Media Create thread covering a dead week of sales gets more posts than NPD threads. Gaming side had just become a news aggregate and it'll likely be the same for Resetti. If Nirolak doesn't head over they're not even going to have job listings to discuss, it'll be in the same zombie state as GAF.

Back when they kicked out Aquamarine/NDP Mulcair and no one took their place I thought it was the beginning of the end for NeoGAF.

You get NeoGAF already isn’t, right?! The community left is GamerGate/4chan and those too simple/ignorant to understand what’s happening. Hatred is not okay to stand by and let roll.

Also those nice detailed threads you enjoyed were made by hard working progressive members that already left or are going to. Conservative red neck assholes aren’t going to put the work in for detailed write ups and elaborate OTs. They are too lazy and complain about anything that their delicate snowflake eyes can’t handle seeing about social and environmental issues.

I can believe that quite a few of them were looking for a way out or estranged. It's clear the whole thing was a house of cards with discontent seething for some time now, against the site mods and/or Lore. I have a hard time they seriously considered splintering because the NeoGAF brand itself had clout and it was delusional to imagine trying to rival it.

Of course I voted for Hillary. Not because I was a fan, because I'm anything but. I don't care for Bernie, either, feeling he - like every other white democrat/liberal/socialist/whatever - cares little about actual issues that are material to the black existence in America. But when you looked at the alternative, an open and unapologetic white supremacist running for office, I had no choice but to cast a vote for her. I've defended Malka against the allegations in this thread, always feeling they were weak and unfounded.

Yep, my first PermaBan came from Lore reading my PM's. I was one of the guys inviting people to WastingYourLife, because I clearly was wasting my life at that point. And I was one of the guys RedScarlet got demodded for when she told me why I was perma'd.

Since then me and RS are cool, I haven't heard from Cuntstanza in years and don't care to, and I ended up leaving WYL a few months in because it was boring as shit. Made alts to troll GAF until I get bored and account suicide one when I have another lined up. BTW, Steve Youngblood knew of all my alts (some were real obvious cause I didn't care) and wouldn't ban me unless I deserved it (copious amounts of porn posting). The one time I got banned  for non-porn reasons was by lore, I pointed out that the only reason he has a hateboner for Islam is because he got scammed at a turkish brothel, it was nuked.

I only banned one of your alts and I didn’t even know it was you until after you posted here that you were banned. And honestly, are you sure he spied on your PMs? I’m just speculating, but it seems far more likely to me that someone else ratted you out to a mod/admin than that they sought out your PMs directly. The launch of WYL was before my time as a mod though so I don’t actually know what transpired then.

I don't know if the ban was on those grounds but her employer (and thus most probably NPD) was aware Aquamarine was leaking NPD stats. Despite being warned she could lose her job (and not the most shitty one, I would add, as far as was known), she still persisted under an alt but at that point I believe GAF was entering troubled legal waters if they continued to enable it.

IIRC, she later got official permission by her employer to post the numbers, and that's what she used the Mulcair alt account for. But since alts were not allowed, they (Y2Kev) banned her again. After this, she posted numbers on vgchartz for a while (no idea if she still does).

Is that such a bad thing? Everyone seemed to like GAF just fine a week ago. What's wrong with that portion of the community wanting to continue on with what was a working model, only without the baggage? But besides having no EL at the helm, the biggest difference will be administration and moderation. Site ownership is being placed in an LLC, so there won't be any consolidated power. As for the mods, it's almost an entirely new team, who have spent the last few days going over tons of feedback about what needs to be changed.

NeoGAF is a LLC.

Not to mention an LLC does not imply unconsolidated power.
