Support NeoGAF

[HariKari]

Who's going to reign on Slayven? Have you seen the other names, they're going to join the banning spree not prevent it.

Yeah that place seems like it could get hellish pretty quickly.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

They will all kill each other after a few months, and they will all think they are better than each other, it wont last, ill stick to this place till the end. I know where my loyalties are. Fucking idiots!

Loyalties. On a gaming forum. JFC. It ain't like this is a support group for AA or something.

If it doesn't work out, you know what happens? You move on. I always do. I have 0 loyalty to this site. Or the next. So on and so forth.

You sound so triggered right now, lol.

 

[Sephiroth]

how about we let the site launch before we start posting all the hot takes about how it's obviously guaranteed to fail according to noted forums poster Sephiroth

I've been in this community almost since it launched, I'm not even talking about neogaf I'm talking about Gaming Age. I probably know a lot more than you about it and I pretty much know who are the people who made it such a mess for years. Best of luck in your future endeavours though guys you'll need it, I suspect it'll be very funny to watch.

 

[Surgeon Isa]

@ new staff, if you get the chance can you implement a feature where if you have a user on ignore, their posts are also hidden when people quote them? don't really care about posting anymore, but neogaf as a gaming news aggregator would still be useful to read. I just don't want to see any of crossing eden's garbage posts ever again.

alternatively just perm crossing eden.

-p. po

here, here.

 

[Zelmardonpoktendo]

Just let gaf die,it's just a forum ya nerds. Move on

if its just a forum it shouldn't affect you in the slightest.

bye felica

Why the bitterness? The last bit makes you sound childish...

This is the same dude that supposedly wants civilized discourse and didn't want people to insult each other over different views...


yet he had no issues calling every single person interested in the new forums "cunts". This is the exact level of discourse he brings here.

why aint all these people begging for the invite to the neweracuntsforum being banned?

surely your knowledge of 2005-era forum culture will prove a boon in the year of our lord 2017. but i digress.

if this crashes and burns, it's whatever, because i literally don't have any attachment to internet forums at this point. but this shit just makes you sound bitter.

 

[wachie]

The only name I recognize out of that whole list is kswiston and you have to think he is a big loss to this community. His contributions to the BO threads were pretty significant.

Now we’ll get xaosslug’s shitty thread titles!

 

[anothertech]

It's right there.

Spoiler

the order is not arbitrarily

You’re right, it looks like it’s alphabetical...

 

[Subpar Spatula]

It's so funny how they keep parroting the idea that being decent is toxic and folks who called y'all out on racism are the bad guys ruining the forums.

Lol.

 

[FTF]

OK, about 22-24 hours ago, there was some really sick image posted on here in this thread, and then fortunately removed by mods. I was (foolishly) trying to make out exactly what it was and whether it was real.

Please don't post the image again, but can anyone tell me if what I saw was actually:

Spoiler

a bent over dead woman with head crushed and with shit spewing like a volcano from her rear ,
like the aftermath of a serial killer claiming a victim. I could see no head, but only what looked like blood and gore where there should be a head

?

Definitely was the sickest image that I have ever seen. Mind-blowingly disturbing and almost a crime posting that on here for people to view without warning or censoring.

Is my description above accurate? Did anyone else see this? Are you as disturbed by this as I am? Do you know the source of the image and whether it is real?

EDIT: Here's someone who references the post:

Posted at 10:41 PM EST

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about an image that someone posted on this thread last night, around 11:00 PM EST.

It was up for at least 5-10 minutes, and may have been posted a few times by the same person. I don't remember the name of the poster but he was likely banned.

Someone posted a pic of tub girl. Sorry to anyone who had to see that. I had successfully removed that image from my brain years ago, only to be reminded of it again yesterday :/

 

[Faithless Mr.]

When is the ResetEra coming out?

And the advantage of Neogaf aside from the community it had built is its aesthetics. This is the cleanest and best-structured forum I've ever encountered. Hope they manage to replicate even half of its sleek design and not be the utter mess that so many gaming forums are.

Seriously, name any other forum that looks this good. The only one close is the golden years of GameTrailers forums [2007-2009].

Woah it's honestly like he or she is a hypocrite. Perhaps even, dare I say, virtue signaling?

How can you be more mad than the posters leaving here. You could just ignore them.

 

[OuterLimits]

Have enjoyed this place for a few years, so it sucks to see what is happening to the site.

Mainly enjoyed Gaming side, although I was somewhat active in political threads during the primary season. I think I was one of the few who admitted voting in the Republican primary, but back then it was largely Bernie vs Hillary debate on GAF.

I guess it will be interesting to see what happens here in the future. I often enjoy lesser known games particularly in the SRPG genre. This is one of the few sites that has topics on games that aren't the big name sellers. Although even here, nobody cares about the Koei strategy games like Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the 3 Kingdoms. Which is a damn shame. Lol.

I don't know, im all about loyalties and kindness and all that shit. i'm so triggered, i'm not use to chaos lol

 

[aBarreras]

It's so funny how they keep parroting the idea that being decent is toxic and folks who called y'all out on racism are the bad guys ruining the forums.

Lol.

they called out on anyone who disagreed with them, how is that not toxic?


i mean I'm pretty sure someone yesterday said that anyone not leaving was a Trump supporter, IM FROM MEXICO, HOW THE FUCK I AM A TRUMP SUPPORTER??

 

[Zelmardonpoktendo]

oh pipe down, its bigger than that and you know it

 

[HariKari]

It's so funny how they keep parroting the idea that being decent is toxic and folks who called y'all out on racism are the bad guys ruining the forums.

Lol.

You know damn well the 'calling out' extended well beyond basic decency. It was used as way to silence dissent. It created an atmosphere where there was no real discussion, only nodding in agreement. People could end up banned in even the most benign of topics.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

they called out on anyone who disagreed with them, how is that not toxic?

Examples?

Being called out is meaningless when it's warranted.

You can skim the last 24 hours and see examples of the corruption, horror, and filthiness that they believe the OT was.

Y'all deserved those bans. Not one has been proven to be illegitimate.

Going to need a good sample size or I'm going to call 100% BS.

I'll wait for you to collect the data.

 

[psychowave]

people are so salty about a new forum popping up lol

 

[Pesmerga00]

It's so funny how they keep parroting the idea that being decent is toxic and folks who called y'all out on racism are the bad guys ruining the forums.

Lol.

You are one of the most toxic members to ever post. It's funny to see you call out others, when your own actions are much, much worse.

You realize that a mod was removed months ago and over a hundred bans overturned because they were absurd, right? People have been given a glimpse behind the curtain and it's not nearly as sparkly clean as you make it out to be.

 

[Macam]

OT is back, but no one can post a new thread, and there's no explanation beyond the OP as to whether what was said there are the new de facto rules (no social, no politics) or what.

This is a mess.

 

[Raxus]

people are so salty about a new forum popping up lol

It is pretty telling. Hope you come along eventually psychowave.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Yeah just because you guys had trouble forming arguments and being respectful doesn't mean you were banned for your ideas. I often went against the political grain here and I didn't get banned. Even blatantly disagreed with mods. But every time I was well mannered and respectful with my arguments and had no problem. Lets see those posts and contexts people got banned for.

 

[MUnited83]

oh pipe down, its bigger than that and you know it

Bigger than what? You called everyone interested on it a "cunt". This is exactly what you did. It isn't "bigger than that", you are doing the exact shit you criticize, ignoring the ammount of good people that want to migrate the ERA forums, including people that didn't ever post on Off Topic and stayed on their own community threads. You're calling people "cunts" because they want to go to another forum. Do you realize how ridiculous that is?

 

[Zelmardonpoktendo]

people are so salty about a new forum popping up lol

This has nothing to do with the new forum. Its the way its happening is the issue.

Okay, let's start with tenumi's ban. Here you go:

[Subpar Spatula]

It's funny cause they'll probably try to head for the other place too. They hate them but wanna be with them.

You are one of the most toxic members to ever post. It's funny to see you call out others, when your own actions are much, much worse.

Me calling out gamer gaters is worse than bigotry? JESUS.

You realize that a mod was removed months ago and over a hundred bans overturned because they were absurd, right? People have been given a glimpse behind the curtain and it's not nearly as sparkly clean as you make it out to be.

Yeah, he was removed. Dude had a dubious past. The signs were there and they let it slide. Same with another mod whose actions made a person want all their info on the website deleted. Not saying there's no corruption but out of 195,558 users currently your size of a hundred is about 0.051%. Are you trying to straight face tell me 0.051% of incidents over the past 18-years caused such a chilling effect?

Like, really?

 

[Zelmardonpoktendo]

Are you blind??

Have you not been on twitter, or seen every suicide thread, every comment made about Tyler. These peoples agendas are not to form a large community for gamers, their agendas are to destroy neogaf and Tyler and by doing that they have left, leaving threads of insulting people who still stay here calling us predators and that we allow that sort of behaviour, to all this other horrible shit that is getting posted about Tyler, over an accusation that hasn't even been proven to be correct. Its a cunty thing to do, and these people are cunts. The post are vile, they call him every vile under the sun and the people that still post here. its disgusting. and IT IS BIGGER than just me being a bitch, the way these people handled the situation was wrong, and their agenda is to destroy this place and Tyler. So they can all get fucked!

 

[aBarreras]

Me calling out gamer gaters is worse than bigotry? JESUS.

so anyone disagreeing with you is a game gater?? o.o

 

[SinCityAssassin]

And here I thought y'all just wanted to talk about video games.

 

[Striek]

Good luck to peeps migrating to RA. That list has some great contributors on it who will be missed here. But it also has a few questionable choices who under no circumstances will respect legitimate debate or discussion. But its a learning curve, and up to the new owners/admins to find a balance.

That said, I think the way some of the users intent on migrating have behaved over in the last 24hrs isn't a great foundation to build a strong community on.

 

[aBarreras]

And here I thought y'all just wanted to talk about video games.

this is a thread that is not about video games, so i don't see something wrong?

 

[MUnited83]

Are you blind??

You seem to be the blind one. Check the gaming community and off-topic community. Lot's of communities decided to leave GAF, and you can barely find anyone doing any people there doing account suicides. Stop generalising, stop calling people "cunts", stop being everything you claimed to despise. And some people are not willing to give Evilore a third chance. That's not unreasonable.

 

[cicero]

You can't fool me Mr. I Only Like Censorship When It Benefits Me.

This IS literally you, 100%.

Yep. NeoGAF won't retain any of the prestige it had if it allows the obvious gamergaters to nestle. They're not even being subtle about it anymore.

You grew resentment over rules established by the admin and hated them because it was censorship (your definition). However, you like it now that the admin is censoring political and social discourse because it fits your agenda?

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Loosen up the reigns? How so? Should we allow constant conversations about whether police brutality is just a lie? How about discussing whether or not gendered pronouns are good or bad? Trigger words? Safe spaces?

Like, when you say loosen up it's kind of suspect. The discussion has already been had and a lot of people felt you shouldn't be able to spew toxic stuff. Cutting off offences at slurs or attacks isn't good enough because the gamer-gaters, alt-right, and generally nasty people thrive in the murky area of promoting discussion about issues that have a clear answer. You loosen the reigns and you get Twitter, Reddit, and what not.

Damn. Evilore you got more gamergaters (the thing you dislike). You should probably clear them out.

Your blatant intellectually dishonest hypocrisy isn't even subtle or smart. It's as if you lacked the most basic sense of self-awareness.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

so anyone disagreeing with you is a game gater?? o.o

Naw, but y'all seem to believe I'm a toxic individual who dog-piled and helped create a chilling effect cause I called out bigotry.

Like, you get what you're disagreeing with... right? What do you think my position is?

This IS literally you, 100%.


Your blatant intellectually dishonest hypocrisy isn't even subtle or smart. It's as if you lacked the most basic sense of self-awareness.

Oh know! I want bigots to be banned. The horror! Banning hate isn't censorship, it's called having standards.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

There should be a “please perma ban” sticky so people can post their diatribes about a video game message board in one place

 

[aBarreras]

Naw, but y'all seem to believe I'm a toxic individual who dog-piled and helped create a chilling effect cause I called out bigotry.

come on, you know your reputation of being toxic, and has nothing to do with calling out "bigots and racists"

 

[Usobuko]

Okay, let's start with tenumi's ban. Here you go:

Isn't that why people wanna leave here with Evilore flexing his power to anything that challenge him?

 

[Subpar Spatula]

come on, you know your reputation of being toxic, and has nothing to do with calling out "bigots and racists"

What is toxic about my personality? Like, what about me is causing hostility and hate to spread?

Do you really think I am silencing y'all? No. I'm saying bigots should be banned. Is that a really difficult stance for you guys to understand?

 

[ModBot]

Off-Topic Community is open for forum-goers to engage in their communities but new threads are currently disabled. That is only temporary as we get up to speed. We are currently looking into a process for users to request community-style topics from the old Off-Topic and to be transferred to OT Community.

 

[Chariot]

Isn't that why people wanna leave here with Evilore flexing his power to anything that challenge him?

Yeah exactly. But you're right I should've picked a non-evilore example. Sadly I am on mobile now. I should've saved all examples I saw in the run of the years when I had the chance.

 

[SuperBlank]

Y'all deserved those bans. Not one has been proven to be illegitimate.

Wow.

 

[OuterLimits]

I used to play those Koei strat games, particularly the 3 Kingdoms series...it's been years though. Are there any good ones in that series nowadays?

Both Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the 3 Kingdoms series are on the PS4/PC. Which is cool since they skipped the PS3 gen(in the West) after having several games on PS2. I still prefer the old school classics but the latest Romance XIII is still pretty good. It released last year.

 

[Xtyle]

Maybe he's generalizing, maybe he didn't check the communities (I didn't) but almost every suicide post on the gaming board was a shit post and few had nice words. Even more, there were porn photos. 1 quitter had photo of a man's gaping open ass right on my screen and that photo was repeated like 10 times so even as I scrolled down it was still there.

I can tell you 7 out of 10 suicide thread had ill intentions. It wasn't just anger towards Evilore but to the remaining community here.

 

[Pesmerga00]

It's funny cause they'll probably try to head for the other place too. They hate them but wanna be with them.

well the experiences that I have endured with people are not pleasant and the threads I have opened are not pleasant. no one is saying they have to give any chances but the way its being handled is wrong, and putting a sour taste in the mouths of the people who want to stay here.
