it's always weird when people on other forums talk about how they clearly got banned from gaf "simply for disagreeing with a mod" and you just know that the real reason was them acting like a total lunatic or idiot and not even realizing it


that and when they claim it's because the mods are all [insert any video game company or political affiliation here] fanboys, and they can never decide which it actually is

To be fair, Neogaf mods have a clear Kohan bias.
 
I for one quite like the GB community.

They have there bad apples like any forum but when they do good work they do good work.


As far as forums attached to popular gaming websites go they are nice folk.
 
Oh, that dude was trying to get me to reach the 5 post limit that new guys have, but I think my premium membership overrides that, he just didn't notice I had one.

Super.
 
For the record I think all creepy threads are creepy no matter where they are posted.

And most people over there are fine, except for that FluxWaveZ guy. good lord
 
I remember the dad thread, I'd voted in it way back when apparently and chose Vinny of course. Also, they recently had a thread about which of the staff would you want to eat first or something.

Anyways, those threads don't have shit on some of the fan-fics that have been done. Especially the one where Jeff eats Ryan or something and the one where the dude gets pizza with Ryan.

Are the GB forums any good for discussion? Now that I've posted a few times there, maybe I should use it to supplement GAF?

I like it over there, you can basically post whatever (use common sense) and not worry about getting banned, for better or worse.
 
I love how one guy uses the "I discovered RealDolls" thread to say that GAF is full of creeps, yet the point of that thread was that the guy was freaked out by his discovery, as was pretty much anybody who posted there.

No harm done, though.

Hi guys, I come from Giantbomb. The thread over there reminded me that I have an account here, so lets talk about Vinny being my dad.

I don't look at the GB forums often how is the moderation? I haven't seen anyone banned but then again I look over there very rarely.

Okay, cool. I was wondering if I was a lot more exhausted than I'd realized for my reading comprehension to be so off...
 
"@A_Pretty_Panda: Hey, you're not that brilliant either, dude. Posting in another community's thread—a community other than you usually post on—just to get a rise out of that community? Yeah, I think I'd get my head out of my ass if I were you."

So... mission accomplished!

Good job me.

*pats self on back*

Agreed, I spent a bunch of time there before my GAF account got authorised and I still spend time there, it doesn't seem any worse than any other forum and seems better than a lot of them. Hope whatever inter-forum hullabaloo is going on right now doesn't become a trend. Can't we all just get along? :p
 
My interactions with GB members in the stream chat has done a great job of making sure that I don't use those forums. Both times where GB was having stream issues and some people could see the stream and some couldn't, if you even tried to point out there might be an issue everyone who didn't would just say "Well it's fine on my end, it's probably your computer :P" even the mods there would just say "please stop spamming the chat, the stream is fine." So basically fuck em', more or less. But I am more than happy to discuss GB content with you fine gentlemen.
