Support NeoGAF

[Quazar]

Well, off I go. It's been a ride GAF! 10 years of me being a shit head, growing, maturing, and becoming a better person. I honestly thought this site would last much longer, but alas... On its death bed. Shared so much with different communities... Anime GAF, manga GAF, Fighting GAF, Nintendo GAF, writing GAF, Weather GAF, Puerto Rico GAF, relationship GAF etc... Hell I even remember building that Xbox 360 repair guide some years ago. But it's time to end the ride.

Tyler, you fucked up big time. This site, even though it's a community, is still technically a business. It is your business, as an entrepreneur let me tell you... You fucked this up real hard. I mean, yes the site will run for a while, but it will be a ghost of its former shell. Like a star, slowly dwindling until its gone from existence. I suggest you start finding a new job or marketable skills that aren't Brazilian jujitsu or walking into nude people showering, because your income source is quite probably disappearing soon.

To all the guys I spent time with, played with, discussed with... See you on Reset Era. As many of the quality members are doing, I'll move there. Lots of rift raft will remain here. Also, I must say... It's a bit strange that deletion requests aren't being accepted. I understand the tos and everything but why make it so hard? Some people just don't want to be associated with the site anymore, especially if it turns into a shit hole. Is it because of Google ads? Because it's really simple to just contact Google and tell them the member numbers are inflated. Anyway , traffic will determine that down the road.


Relix, logging out. It's been a pleasure guys. To those who stay, have fun, but remember you are supporting someone who prefers to take the blame on others instead of owning up to his shit. Bye!

Peace out Relix. One of my favorite posters over the years. Gave me good advice on IT degree thread I made a long time ago.

 

[RPGCrazied]

You move where the community goes, my friend. This is just a website, after all.



As the veteran that you are, is that what you really want? All the high-profile names gone, and nothing but new people to interact with?

Again, not everyone is leaving. I see tons of people talking in threads still.

Dam right I'm a veteran and why I'm staying, not letting one person fuck things up.

 

[adj_noun]

Haha I'm the same. Don't even know what Discord is...

Oh, man.

Don't even get me started.

Everybody's talking about discord and I'm all "I know there's a lot of chaos, but why are GAF communities dedicated to their own brand"

 

[Game-Biz]

It's been great guys. Hopefully I'll see ya over at Reset Era.

 

[Shin]

Not everyone is leaving. GAF is bigger than you think.

And newer users will replace the ones leaving.

Pretty much and that's what people fail to realize, even with some trying to recruit/steal members from here (which is rather really really sad).
Just like gaming in general once the old generation stops a new generation will start, it just keeps flowing.

 

[chromatic9]

Reset looks a good site. Hopefully I can get an invite or apply soon.

I go on a xenforo sport site and it's had quote alerts for a long time, always been impressed with the xenforo tech.

 

[Oare]

That's amateur hour shit. They've got specific codes that last for 10 minutes each meant for each community and it's vetted members.

dude, that was a joke.

 

[RPGCrazied]

And the ones posting nasty gifs as they leave going to the new forums. Good luck with that.

 

[Flintty]

Yep. I wish these attention seekers would just go already and stop making shitposts. There will still be a community here and if it’s smaller, so be it. Smaller could be better.

 

[mrchampipi]

Thread title: State of NeoGAF
Thread page: Filled with people asking for invites for another forum.

Speaks a lot.

Yea, maybe we'd need a mod edit in the OP stating "invite begging= ban"? (joking, obviously)

Guess we're worried because the vast majority of us are mainly consumers rather than content creators. GAF is still dizzy for now, while "that" new forum seems so shiny and active: people want to go where the action's at, that's it.

 

[airmangataosenai]

Seems a lot of the OT community threads are gone which makes me sad. I moved away from the gaming side outside of Sales-Age and the big event threads.

 

[Heckler456]

They're up, you know. No nasty GIF's yet.

 

[JordanN]

So basically you are a recruiter. At least you are honest I suppose.

Ironically, wouldn't that also make him a shill?

GAF was always tough whenever a MS/Sony/Nintendo employee etc astroturfed here.

But when you get to promote another website because you hate this one, it's fine!

 

[RPGCrazied]

They're up, you know. No nasty GIF's yet.

Because its invite only, people have to be vetted. Wait until they open it up for everyone. Won't be pretty.

Well you heard the recruiters. ERA job atm is to drive people from GAF to them. If I was petty id use my acct which got approved to shit on them or maybe give it to someone better skilled. But I won't. I'll just hope they stop the nonsense here.

 

[Vanilla Dome]

Please ban me

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I have friends here. Lots of them. I'm just not in any community

It's like going to school and not going to any clubs, so not being allowed to apply for university

As far as I'm aware, this is to keep things under control (stress testing and all that). Open registrations should be up in the next days.

 

[negreenfield]

Oh, man.

Don't even get me started.

Everybody's talking about discord and I'm all "I know there's a lot of chaos, but why are GAF communities dedicated to their own brand"

Yeah man I'm too old for this for real so I'm just kinda looking around like John Travolta Pulp Fiction gif.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Please ban me

1 post, cute.

I would if I could.

 

[Shin]

Yep. I wish these attention seekers would just go already and stop making shitposts. There will still be a community here and if it’s smaller, so be it. Smaller could be better.

It already is IMO (better that is) from what I've seen the past few days and how people behaved.

 

[Heckler456]

Not sure what you're getting at? It has a fully staffed mod-team, and the same sign-up requirements as GAF. So... Like, what do you think's gonna happen?

 

[Mahadev]

Seems a lot of the OT community threads are gone which makes me sad. I moved away from the gaming side outside of Sales-Age and the big event threads.

The OT community threads were always slow and fucking boring. They REALLY need to bring back Offtopic altogether, these huge threads are pointless. Without it a large part of the forum is missing.

 

[Maximus P]

Please ban me

Hey, your first post. Welcome to gaf!

 

[Mahadev]

Not sure what you're getting at? It has a fully staffed mod-team, and the same sign-up requirements as GAF. So... Like, what do you think's gonna happen?

Paranoia. They don't want "Russian shills" to infiltrate their perfect haven.

Do you think everyone in discord is a honorable person? Come on man you are smarter than that. Have you SEEN the shitposting your folks are doing on the way out?

 

[Diagol]

Would love a discord invite here.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Best of luck everyone, and in case I don't see ya: Good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

woah dude.

See ya!. You were a legend.

 

[Anung]

People are being vetted and vouched for and once again the context of why people are leaving is being ignored.

 

[Uno Venova]

And the ones posting nasty gifs as they leave going to the new forums. Good luck with that.

This FUD isn't going to work on anyone lol

 

[metalslimer]

Strange there's over 4000 people that just joined it's been a really respectful community.

In comparison I can't count how many times I saw people talking SJW, cucks, etc. here over the last few days. Strange.

 

[Mahadev]

This FUD isn't going to work on anyone lol

Yes, what we've all witnessed the last 2 days is all lies.

 

[depths20XX]

I would like an invite to the other place if possible.

 

[Jeels]

Okay?

Another thing, just leave people. You don't need to announce it. Just go. The forums has enough problems as is.

Why are you so upset about what other people are doing? Is your identify that tied to GAF?

Its just cluttering up the forums. Like there is enough drama here. Just log out, go the new site. Everyone is happy.

 

[You Pay This Much]

That you apparently didn't care about leaving so quickly over one person.

The community is moving on. At least from what I see here it's a large portion.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Of all that happened in the last days this is what gets you?

We're in a stickied thread.

Guys, I don't think you understand not only the sheer amount of people who already left (for each one who said "ban me" there were probably ten or so who simply stopped posting - judging from the activity in threads here) but also the fact that these were the best posters here on GAF. I'm not saying that GAF will be dead, this is stupid, it obviously won't, but it will take a lot of time for GAF to recover from this exodus even to become just as good a source of gaming info as it was.

I have to admit, I don't like any of this so far.

 

[Mahadev]

What this guy's saying:

Give it 1 month. It's the honeymoon stage now both for the users and the mods.

 

[David___]

"Please stop protesting"

You can see just browsing the site, that is no longer GAF, not the one I liked at least.

 

[RPGCrazied]

As I said earlier, I'm mad people shitting on the GAF community over one persons actions. Really mad.

I think since the owner of the website decided to just shut down all of neogaf for his personal mistakes is the result of that

 

[Forearms]

"Please stop protesting"

It would be a better protest if they just stopped visiting the site...

 

[pokéfan]

I got the invite sent to me from Era, thankyou guys.

 

[RPGCrazied]

We're in a stickied thread.

You don't see people making threads asking to be banned and moving on? Its all over the forums.

Just go if you don't want to be here.

 

[Steel]

Give it 1 month. It's the honeymoon stage now both for the users and the mods.

I don't think people here realize that the gaf they're posting on right now is starting from almost scratch itself. You're in the honeymoon phase with Evil and the two other mod/admin that stayed. See where it is in a month.

You don't see people making threads asking to be banned and moving on? Its all over the forums.

Just go if you don't want to be here.

Didn't make the discords sadly. It doesn't sound like you really want to be here either, honestly.

 

[metalslimer]

As I said earlier, I'm mad people shitting on the GAF community over one persons actions. Really mad.

That one person is the owner in perpetuity and will continue to shit on the communities whenever there is a chance.
