$30 Italian meal joke is beaten to death and you guys use it to replace ModBot?

Haha

Not to mention the irony of the name being a meme that fucking spawned on the exact section of the forum they purged. Really cheeky guys.
With people getting invites and stuff is everyone moving to Discord? Seems there is Steam discord ....so all the OT's are kind of becoming fractured?
Most of the communities that went away (and they are quite a lot, check Gaming Community and OT Community) plan to go to Resetera
 
We will never know. All I can say is that my account was approved two weeks after registering to NeoGAF.

I was surprised that my account was approved after a couple days in 2014. I figured it would take months. Approval times definitely seemed random as hell.
 
Haha, "$30 Italian meal", remember when GAF had users on it
Yeah, I do remember right now.

Anyway, let's not all jump the moderator for now. We all know it was a stupid change, we know it continues one of the bad lines from before...but jumping on him for the moment won't help. He obviously can't change the policy on his own and he also hasn't the time for that at the moment. Whining and moaning won't change anything, since the people at the top don't care. We do have to wait until an announcement is made.

I'm a meal, not a bot.

I think it's very wrong to dox mods and make people's lives difficult who are trying to improve a community, and I don't think many people sign up to be a mod without an earnest interest in improving the community (because lord knows none of you can possibly be being paid enough).

But you all really need to talk amongst yourselves and start coming up with intelligent decisions here. The lack of transparency, weird unannounced changes to the site, Evilore's lack of accountability and self-delusion, is not good for the mods, ownership, or the community.

Make decisions in the sunlight. You'll find that the more decisions that are made in the sunlight, the better decisions you make, and the less threat there is for people to attack mods and try to ruin the site. Every decision has been made the wrong way, so far, but it's never late to change course and make your decisions under scrutiny, where you'll get feedback that will give you more opportunity to make the right decisions.

I agree and we intend to be more transparent with decisions and information going forward. We just have our hands full currently and we're still catching up. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

yeah they are definately fractured, since not everyone is moving to discord. some still want to stay on gaf which is fine too.
 
Hey, 30$Italianmeal. May I ask for a small favour? Would it be too much to ask if you changed your avatar to bish's old avatar just for a couple of days? For the nostalgia? I just want to feel the warmth of mother's womb again.
 
WHEW

Looks like the new mod team is really on the ball. Everything will go back to normal soon. A few bans here, a couple threads, a few instances of sexual harassment to brush aside.

Nothing a few unlisted edits and forum squashing can’t fix!
 
Shits getting weird now.

Just had someone message me on twitter randomly saying peace walker is the best mgs game.
Take a look at Oliver (@mabromov): https://twitter.com/mabromov?s=09

Haven't talked about mgs in forever so no reason. They are a new account and seem to be targeting gaf users (especially Bobby roberts) and trying to get people to click a link to logan reviews.

Noticed one person responded and the conversation turned to asking what they did for a living.

Weird feeling to be targeted like this.
 
Honestly, that whole mod account and its persona is in bad taste. Especially the situation that this forum is in.

An anonymous mod account that uses the avatar of a former mod who left the site and username that references a meme that started in a section of the forum that presently no longer exists does feel like it's in pretty bad taste.

I'm admittedly being a bit cynical though
 
one of the benefits of this whole situation is a lot of the users who left are those who had the exact same avatar year after year ad infinitum, which was why i had turned off avatars.

cup half full
 
What happened was a little sad for me (not the Evilore situation, but to the forum\community), im not someone who posts alot, im mostly a lurker of the gaming side (rarely gone to OT), mostly to see the gaming news, the rumors and of course the meltowns specially the E3 threads.

Seeing what´s happening right now with users opening threads just to say shit to get banned with NFSW pictures and such just demonstrates that it was probably this type of users that did not contribute to an healthy community.

I understand anyone that wants to leave and they have the right to do it, i just dont understand the childish attitudes that are happening since the Evilore case was brought up.

I know that Evilore is the owner and that everyone wants to affect him because of his conduct, but why not just leave or ask to be deleted from the forum?

The famous neogaf Hivemind as turned against itself and honestly i dont think that neogaf will recover even though i hope so.

I will go whenever the gaming community goes, but at least for now im staying.
