You'll be happy to know that every once in a while, the (I'm an expert) guy does still post on GAF.

I had no idea.
 
Gaborn unfortunately passed away.

I still see Timedog show up here and there.

By Costanta do you mean Costanza? I believe that was the Rock Band megathread purge.

Derrick was being Derrick.
After the rock band purge I remember Costanza and a few others created a GAF-spin off forum which I believe is basically dead at this point. Never really took off. Don't even remember the name.
 
What happened to Kittowny?
Permed, had an alt (also permed).

I still talked to him on occasion. I haven't been able to since I haven't had use of a ps4 in some time. We talked right after the launch. I remember him working at a bank in Canada but I'm not sure if that's current.

If you think he was crazy on here, play game with him on a regular basis. Its was always fun.
 

jooey

If you can remember a GAF splinter forum, you're posting on it.

Anyone know who Derrick was an alt account of?

I wonder why bgassassin doesn't post anymore; remember him from the early Wii U Speculation threads and his input on different technical subjects was always well understandable for laymen like myself and well put together

And while Derrick's negativity was way too much and it very often brought him into unnecessary situations, I can't help but feel that in some weird way I agree with his take on today's AAA videogame market even though I don't see things as black as he did.

His cynicism would have been fine if he didn't go into every thread about a major AAA-title to spend multiple posts talking about how it was crap and how people who liked it were stupid.

The mere concept of a GAF splinter forum is bizarre enough to me. I feel a bit sheepish about posting on an internet video game forum in the first place; I can't imagine how I'd explain to people that I post on an internet forum for people who were rejected from an internet video game forum.
 
I've been following this place closely wayyyyy before deciding to take the plunge to post here. So, where's drohne at? His profile says he's still a member here but the last activity:

Absolutely. I don't like much of it either; you'll note that I'm still around and managed to be a moderator, of all things. Different perspectives are not necessarily shunned here.

It would also help if he seemed to have other things he actually praised instead. A lot of gamers who are disenchanted with AAA development can turn around and say "this is what I like instead, and here is why," which makes the position far more tenable.

By contrast, one could count on Derrick to automatically nay say any AAA development, without necessarily providing explanation or analysis.

Wollan's tag was a lie. Never expected him to be permd.

Fisfulofmetal, Greatness Gone, Crushed and Costanza were all entertaining.
Greatness gone? Was he the one that tried to ruin jake gylenhaal for the entire world?

Almost every popular forum has a splinter forum for hate conversations about the main site/particular posters, for the posting of porn and as a temporary refuge for the banned.

I do it for the Yoga Pants gifs.
 
Community and Forum drama instead of talking about Rock Band.

That and it was during the "New news. New thread"/No mega threads transition period. Can't remember if it was Costanza or not, but someone had a fit and spammed the front page with every tiny bit of new Rock Band news within a 10 minute space in an attempt to show how dumb they thought the policy was.
 
Most of the Orbis/Durango leakers have been banned, except for Thuway and CBOAT. I don't remember usernames that well, since I typically remember people's avatars. Shinobi is gone, Reiko (I think that's how it's spelled) is gone. It was a lot of fun watching the leaks unfold.

Single-handedly caused Exxon-Mobil to sue FOX, start World War 3
What was the name of the guy that we thought was in jail in another country for some years when his last message on NeoGAF was in a thread about his trip and said something along those lines:
"Shit, I really fucked up."

Freemufasa. He is still around. He will occasionally post something that is borderline illegible just to see who is cool enough to decipher it.

Yeah, what happened to her?
Don't start fights with the boss.

Shinobi came back, got a short ban, and will likely return.
