Support NeoGAF

[Dmented]

because changes are happening and we feel more comfortable talking without being punished or ignored or insulted over nothing. ive been lurking since 2011. don't try and make us less relevant because of our post count.

and lets be realistic, nearly every fucking user who Tyler thought would have his back, have completely turned their backs on him, over an allegation he has denied, this wasn't an overnight thing, all these "Huge" members have had this in action for months to abandon everyone here. they were just waiting for the right moment, so fuck them

Thanks friends.

What I don't get is why? Most of the bans I ever saw were because they were complete asshats. What's changed to make you feel "comfortable"?

 

[Ombra]

They are welcome to do so, I hope the alternatives work out for them. I choose to stay.

Thanks the more cool peeps staying behind to rebuild the faster we can get back to some semblance of normalcy.

 

[crazygrape]

Well if you were in charge and disagreed with gay marriage so much what would you do about it? What is there even to disagree with honestly?

Would let people do want they want it does not affect me our my family. Been trying to say that the whole time. I understand it's an emotional topic. Let's just get back to gaming lol. Will not talk about my self ever again sorry

 

[Tranqueris]

I feel like there will be many that later regret their decision to burn bridges, if the alternatives don't work out.

Naw I'm good. The same way I was good with not getting an Oculus Rift because of Palmer's racist ass even though its cheap as fuck. As long as he's here I'm definitely never coming back, if other people want to turn a blind eye to the kind of person he is (and the fact that he makes money off them) because they're that desperate to "talk about games" then that's up to them.

 

[Zelmardonpoktendo]

No, that isn't a requirement. People are upset and suiciding.

upset?

cry me a river.

 

[Mooreberg]

You know this isn't true. The OT was policed as much for tone as it was content. People caught bans for the silliest reasons. That's before you get to the double standard in favor of the 'chosen' posters who had permission to say incredibly outlandish things. It was especially bad during election season, even for progressives.

People are going to attempt to refute this, when there are screencaps of mod discussions about precisely these things. The mods were god awful. And this is not sour grapes, I have zero bans, suspensions, or even snarky tags on my account. It was one big cluster fuck of dreadfully poor and inconsistent implementation of policies.

 

[Zelmardonpoktendo]

What I don't get is why? Most of the bans I ever saw were because they were complete asshats. What's changed to make you feel "comfortable"?

I just believe it will be a better era, for all members not just the mods or people who only agree with them

 

[ryseing]

upset?

cry me a river.

Yes, people are upset because a place they spent time and made friends is falling apart because of the administration. Do you have any empathy?

Writing things out helps with frustration. Hence the suicides.

 

[HStallion]

I just believe it will be a better era, for all members not just the mods or people who only agree with them

Yeah because the owner of the site nuking huge parts of it in response to him fucking up and handling things poorly and then going on a ban spree means with even more unclear moderation than before means that the moderation and bans are going to be so much better and fair.

 

[Renekton]

I think that is mostly malice.

 

[boiled goose]

I would not vote. Just like I did not vote for either candidate for president. I know that is not what you want to hear but it's the truth and who I am. Personally that is a hard question for me if I am honest, I think people have the right to do what they want. I just don't have to agree with it

I don't agree with it. And I think not supporting equal rights is a bigoted opinion. Sorry that it's hard for you, and I don't blame you entirely for your views. Sorry if condescending, but indoctrination does real damage. (The fact you're not defending your position tells me deep down you realize it's an unsupported view, likely based on religious indoctrination)

If you truly believe people have that right, you would vote yes. Many people would take that right away in an instant, and perhaps do worse, to people like your brother.

 

[ryseing]

I think that is mostly malice.

No? My friends did so because they were upset. I read their suicides. They were well thought out posts.

 

[prag16]

I personally don’t understand the account suicide thing. I’m legitimately asking...is that what folks are using as their ticket into ResetEra? “Look...I’m part of the movement! I nuked my GAF account, so lemme in!”

No joke, in one of the other topics there was definitely talk of such a requirement, showing proof of a nuked gaf account as a condition of entry. Not sure if it's legit or if they're gonna move forward with that as a requirement. But yeah, wild if true.

It's bullshit spread by 4chan. To be honest that's one reason I won't be staying here any longer. Lurking 4chan and 8chan users have taken this as an opportunity to come out of the woodworks. I need no interactions with those kinda people.

 

[Laughing Banana]

I honestly thought the OP is going to be about a different kind of people, who unfortunately seemingly coming out in droves right now in this "new" GAF.

Fake as fuck.

 

[Renekton]

No? My friends did so because they were upset. I read their suicides. They were well thought out posts.

I also read some reasonable ones, they are a tiny minority versus the massive surge of "resign bitch" posts or thread derails that flooded the forums.

I don't know about the future of GAF, but I'm sure many of these suiciders will stink up the new resetera community.

 

[Ombra]

I honestly thought the OP is going to be about a different kind of people, who unfortunately seemingly coming out in droves right now in this "new" GAF.

There is no new gaf, these people have always been here they just feel emboldened at the moment. I wager it won't last long when names go grey en masse.

 

[Kimawolf]

I personally don’t understand the account suicide thing. I’m legitimately asking...is that what folks are using as their ticket into ResetEra? “Look...I’m part of the movement! I nuked my GAF account, so lemme in!” The internet is a weird place sometimes.

I’m just happy to see actual games discussion dominate the board again...it’s why I’m here.

Eh I think that's just people being upset and throwing a tantrum. but some of those threads posted.. if thats the kind of people leaving, probably for the best.

As for resetEra. they have enough to worry about with just keeping their members secure from getting doxxed, so i'd not throw in with them just yet unless you want 4chan/voat doxxing your shit. But no one stanning for them will tell you about that.

 

[pixelation]

Watching a lot of these people who are happy for the changes is fine, but then watching a bunch of them immediately turn to trolling anyone not happy with the change... Yeah quite a few have already shown their real colors alright.

Unfortunately i've seen waaay to many of those.

 

[DigitalDevil]

Man, you stay off Neogaf for a few days and look what happens! I for one stay mostly for the gaming discussion and don't mind the "return to form". I love this site enough to fight to keep it alive.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Yet I,don't confront that person. But you must confront my beliefs know? Let's leave it as it is. I am who I am. We can agree to enjoy our games. Have a great night

Disgusting.

 

[MechDX]

There is no new gaf, these people have always been here they just feel emboldened at the moment. I wager it won't last long when names go grey en masse.

Who the fuck are you to talk down to the people who built this damn community? You have been a member since September of this year and you speak like you have been here for years. Talk about embolden

I have made friends here that would rival any friends I have made in my daily "real" life. If I ever needed them my NFL OT brothers would do whatever was needed and within their power to help me. This was proven as recently as the hurricanes that hit Texas and Florida the past couple months.

So yeah while we may be "emboldened" to speak our minds and say why we are disgusted we have earned that god damned right by building and supporting what made this place so great to begin with. So if anything you should just be grateful for what we have left you

So take your high horse, brown nosing ass and head straight to hell.

Spoiler

If you are an alt like I have feeling you may be well you can still go to hell.

 

[DSFan1970]

Ban me.

 

[Nervous Sausage]

Anyone left here is a complete hypocrite and financially supporting a person who is a complete creep. All the liberal bullshit and attacks on conservative members and yet here you guys are still. Pathetic ball-less liberals who hold a double standard. Good luck. Also the mods that are still working are the biggest pieces of shit of them all.

Thank you to those of you with actual values and left. The official gaming threads were amazing. Looking forward to seeing more of that in other forums.

You know you could just turn on adblocker if you feel that strongly about preserving your moral integrity. As for me, I come here for the discussion, as opposed to caring about what the owner may or may not have done years ago. It's going to suck if a lot of people leave here, but perhaps this place needs less hyper sensitive, reactionary people, and I say that as a thoroughly left leaning individual. Also by your moral standards, it's likely impossible to consume almost any form of entertainment, as someone somewhere in the chain of distribution, if not the CEO, has surely committed some unscrupulous acts. At a certain point you've just got to let it go, and separate the creator from the content.

Your "belief" is incredibly ignorant and bigoted. Let go of your religious beliefs because they are not serving you well.

 

[Usobuko]

Well, check out the SMT OT if there's anyone left.

 

[pixelation]

upset?

Who the heck are you?, i remember some of your posts because you've been quite vocal this past few days (not a fan). I sure hope posters such as you don't make up the majority of this "new era" you speak of.

[Stoop Man]

Sheesh. I get to enjoy a few lovely months of being on a gaming forum that can keep a civil discussion, only to have it all blow up 'cuz the owner can't manage a simple "I'm sorry, I acted creepy and inappropriately. Let me atone." I wasn't even around long enough to know who Evilore was!

All you had to do was apologize, dude! Just get it over with and accept the fallout. Instead, people freak out, moderaters freak out, and bail in greater numbers than they would have. Now the site is under major strife and all kinds of people are coming out of the woodwork to shitpost during the chaos.

Let this be a lesson to anyone with these kinds of skeletons in your closet - accept what you did, apologize, reconcile, and move on. The damage done by confronting it is never as bad as trying to fling shit back on the accuser.

 

[pixelation]

Sorry to burst your bubble. That's what this place will become.

I am still hopeful that that won't be the case my friend, it's the reason i am still holding on.

 

[Kimawolf]

Just give it some time. People are defensive, random folks are popping out the woodwork who normally lurk to gloat. Just give it time and im sure it'll settle down to something more reasonable.

If alt right 4chan edgelords are your friends, I wonder what contribution you believe they made because thats who I am refering to.

I have lurked for eons and got my gaming and political news from here for ages. Don't let the junior name fool you I can see old posts too.

The more the merrier its been a downer but seeing posts like this give me hope.

im just hoping everyone gets along and things get better that's all

Banning people right off the bat leaves ZERO room for any debate.

 

[Ombra]

Hope to see you become a full member, we can use all the positive folk that we can get.

 

[Stoop Man]

Have their been any statements about the administration moving forward? Filling in mod positions and bringing back forums? I know it's barely been a few days but a quick decisive response would do a lot of good.

Think Evilore would sell the site? A change in ownership could do a lot of good at this point.

 

[mr teaspoon]

Not one,person, has showed were I said people don't have the right.

Why do you keep saying this, as if this is the one metric that matters? Okay, I acknowledge that you think gay people have the right to believe they aren't sinful, shameful human beings. Okay? Do you see me acknowledging that?

You still believe gay people are shameful and sinful, and that's fucked.

Now you can get ban without even knowing who did it.

There's a lot of that happening today.

People with very low post counts who have had accounts for a number of years. Suddenly coming out of the woodwork to act as if they've been around forever and now GAF will finally go back to the greatness that it used to be before people talked about silly things like "real world issues."

It's interesting.

If I'm a hypocrite for staying, then you're a hypocrite for leaving.

What's the story going to be when all those suicide accounts who posted grotesque imagery sign up with another site with open arms?

It was never my intention to watch the GAF community voluntarily divide itself over an issue that still hasn't been settled legally. But some were selfish and pious enough to come to their own verdict and leave the forum in a disgusting fashion.

Well, he has said in the Waypoint article that he will continue to helm the site, so what you asked here is in all likelihood a rather impossible scenario.

WHo the hell mentioned 4 Chan? Me and MY community dont have shit to do with them. Im going after the fact you are talking down to longtime posters like they are just scum beneath your feet and you are better than them.

While you have "lurked" I have been actively posting and contributing since 2007 (Holy shit Ive been here 10 years!) building this community with thousands of others who you deem as not worthy. Those who have contributed and built that much equity have a right to let their final voice be heard.

 

[Ponn]

You know what, FUCK YOU EVILORE!! I've been on this site since 2005 before it was NeoGAF. All you're new sycophant alt-right weaboos don't hold a candle to the likes of Drinky or MAF. They aren't edgy or funny or as slick as they think they are. They are pathetic and cowardly just like you. I speak up a couple times today against them in a civil manner mind you, and you and your fucking pathetic invisible SS police (or you) disable my fucking thread privileges?!?

FUCK. YOU.

Its obvious you have zero intention of trying to salvage the community and have no good will or intentions to making amends. You have shown zero culpability in this shit hole and continue to hide from the people that have truly built this community up, not you, us. Now like those fucking pathetic fence sitting youtube assholes you are throwing your hope up that you can maintain a community with your new alt-right and GG sycophantic little Waffen-babies. Good luck with that shit.

To those with altruistic intentions, that truly haven't been paying attention and are lost right now. Grow the fuck up. Put on your big boy/girl pants. If you are a moderate how has been sitting on the sidelines preaching love and peace, well here it is, its your show now. Now you get to enjoy this community without the liberals who decided to stop taking this shit. You don't have us to waggle your finger at anymore, this is your shit show now. Lets see the mettle of your integrity and resolve of what you have been preaching now that you are about to be overrun with all this alt-right, GG bullshit without the ones you have been wagging your fingers at to protect you or stand up for you. You are alone now, let that sink in.

NOW LETS END ON A HAPPY NOTE!! Heres a fun little Lego Adventure starring Evilore. Enjoy and good fucking night NeoGAFhaus!

Same boat as you man. I normally lurked but was looking to post more until this all happened.

Might just wander off into social media again, this was the last forum I really spent time on.

You have every right to speak your mind just like I have every right to laugh at the majority of this outrage. I've been here a long damn time and this forum, especially OT, is ULTRA liberal. The fact that many of the suicides and protest threads were calling remaining members out as hypocrites, losers, alt righters (lol), and that this forum is going to spin off to hell totally undermined their entire point which is that Evilore may have done something distasteful and disgusting.

Instead of handling it like a community and the positive force they claim to be they name called and labeled people they barely know at the drop of a hat. It just strikes me as laughable and a big reason why people don't take the ultra left seriously. You can't react this way and be taken seriously. It's just as effective to just leave and never come back because your words are completely dismissible.

Disclaimer: I'm liberal I always vote democrat and this forum at times makes me feel like I'm not even a lib.
