The 'typical' NeoGAF member lol

 

[HiroProtagonist]

I'd take that as a no

I used stars (*), not the word.

Edit: The word isn't banned - it's already posted in the thread.

edit:The word thread has an 'h' in it. /eh

 

[Soda]

Shanadeus was someone notable? Holy shit, that person drove me bonkers.

Oh, haha

I know what word you're referring to. Can't for the life of me remember the name of that second forum of banned GAFfers. Not that it matters though.

 

[Rapstah]

Fairly sure that the IP adding that in is in fact Shanadeus. "Emelie Deus" doesn't seem to exist if you google it.

i think fistfulofmetal and costanza deserve a place in there if frigging shanadeus the racist heterophobic swede is in there

 

[Combichristoffersen]

i think fistfulofmetal and costanza deserve a place in their of frigging shanadeus the racist heterophobic swede is in there

Vigilant Walrus should be in there too. His thread about fucking dolphins was the stuff of legends.

 

[enzo_gt]

There should be an entire section on Dyack, not just a tiny mention.

i think fistfulofmetal and costanza deserve a place in there if frigging shanadeus the racist heterophobic swede is in there

I agree.

 

[Puddles]

The founder of NAMBLA posts here?

 

[Soda]

Also, I recall the "Free Bjork" campaign

but Bjork isn't still banned, right?

 

[Trojita]

NAMBLA founder David Thorstad posts on the site under the username "Salazar".

:lol

 

[MrToughPants]

I believe Bjork asked for a one year ban and came back.

 

[Tomat]

For the notable members section, only devs/industry members should be listed IMO.

On another note, I think you guys should get rid of the notes next to each name listed unless their name is red or they don't have an article of their own already. If someone wants to read on about the member, let them read their Wikipedia page.

Fuck that noise.

I wanna be in there.

Spoiler

Don't ask me what it would be for, I just do. I'm already in one forum's Hall of Fame and this'd be cool.

 

[VGChampion]

Notable Members? Why would anyone ever care about knowing that? No wonder the article isn't taken seriously.

 

[Foxix Von]

That page made my day

Cultural impact:
Wow that's some impact right there :lol


The discussion page is pretty funny too.

Gaf was also responsible for the ostrich hammer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ_XFQqmNxs

Yes it's actually in the game.

Also while I'm not so sure I like the idea of a "Notable Members" section, something along the lines of a "Notable sub-communities" entry wouldn't be out of order.

This is actually a good idea.

 

[Snuggles]

that could be a negative since some of them are embarrassing more than anything

 

[Puddles]

Pony-GAF needs a section.

 

[enzo_gt]

Notable Members? Why would anyone ever care about knowing that? No wonder the article isn't taken seriously.

Wait, a summary about an internet gaming forum was supposed to be taken in some serious and critical matter?

I mean I'm all for following Wikipedia guidelines, but I don't know how you deduced that.

 

[makingmusic476]

Denis Dyack of Silicon Knights has also posted on the forum, until he was permanently banned.[4][5]

:lol :lol

 

[tiff]

:lol

Damn, somebody hates Salazar.

Gotta be objective, bro!

Spindashing's EviLore diss-rap was 1000X better than that.

You just want Pony-GAF there don't you? Don't you?!

Spoiler

That's fine with me.

 

[SRG01]

If I'm not mistaken, duckroll was the predecessor to rickroll (someone posting a duck on wheels), and that originated here on NeoGAF.

Also: Dudebro. I think I saw an article using that word on CNN or Wired.

edit: Oops. It was on some Canadian Press article on Maxim's Top 100 women or something :lol my bad!

 

[SolKane]

I don't think people actually understand the purpose of Wikipedia. If there is such high demand for information about NeoGAF, start a NeoGAF wiki and have users create and edit content in that. Wikipedia aspires to be something else, a database for more general, objectively sound information. There's not a great argument for having an extensive article there about NeoGAF.

 

[weekend_warrior]

wat?

 

[DeathIsTheEnd]

wat?

This says:

A brony on PonyGaf is collecting thank you letters for Lauren Faust.

?

 

[tiff]

PonyGAF is acknowledged, guys. There's nothing you can do about it now.

 

[HiroProtagonist]

I know what word you're referring to. Can't for the life of me remember the name of that second forum of banned GAFfers. Not that it matters though.

I don't know. I followed them a bit when we all left GA and went Ezboard hopping, but lost track because they were having to jump boards as often as we were. I do vaguely remember a faction splitting off (or several), but can't remember who or what they were called.

 

[DrForester]

"Gay-GAF aka Gayming-Age, the vocal minority of gay users whose existence reaffirms NeoGAF's implicit "separate but equal" stance. Look for them in locked threads containing images of male underwear advertisements. Official representative: Gaborn."

Sub-Communities thing on Wiki is a terrible idea.

A "Notable" community would be one that's well known outside of GAF, and I can't think of any.

 

[jstevenson]

a NeoGAFwiki to catalog all of the hilarity and important moments of this would be brilliant

 

[way more]

LOL. Let's keep creating made-up communities. Like that Trans-humanist one.

Stop taking this shit so seriously dude.

 

[Cindres]

Let's mention nice things this forum has done, like when everyone donated money to that poster that became homeless and how he was even given somewhere to live.

(sorry it's almost there but i really can't remember the poster who put him up :/ )

 

[SolKane]

Stop taking this shit so seriously dude.

I don't take any of this very seriously, but I am surprised by some posters' desire to see more info on NeoGAF on wikipedia. Expand the article if you must (there's already discussion on wikipedia about deleting the article), but what I think most people actually want is to implement a NeoGAF wiki, which is an idea I would get behind.

 

[Soda]

someone should add "GAF Gold"

Bahahaha.

HAHAHAHA.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

The so called PonyGAF sub-community has gathered together and sent fan mail through Equestria Daily, an unofficial My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fansite, that has been acknowledged by Lauren Faust.[11]
The "Girl/Dating Age" sub-community of NeoGAF has several dozens of regular members and has been viewed 340,000 times in less than a year. Its purpose is to help people who are novice in love get a girlfriend and/or keep her.[12]
The "GAF+"[13] sub-community Ray Kurzweil, a transhumanist group which has been mentioned by famous transhumanist Ray Kurzweil in a speech on the mainstream acknowledgement of transhumanist ideas and concepts.
Gay-GAF aka Gayming-Age, the vocal minority of gay users whose existence reaffirms NeoGAF's implicit "separate but equal" stance. Look for them in locked threads containing images of male underwear advertisements. Official representative: Gaborn.

I leave for a bit to go change a head light and find my idea is actually being used. WOoo!

Also when the heck did lauren faust acknowledge PonyGAF O.O?

 

[Puddles]

Whichever perma-virgin keeps editing out all the fun additions, get lost and go at least try to get laid. Seriously.

Leave the editing to the sexually skilled mile high club members!

Is Dragona really a Muslim? Because it's cool having minority mods and all that...

But really, we need to see Dragona's Birth Certificate now.

I don't know if Dragona is or is not Muslim, but I don't think she's a mod any more.

 

[IamMattFox]

I get the drug thing, but 'mother beater'? Wut

Probably someone twisting this around a bit.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Yeah, stuff like Thursdayton, Heterogenous Goods, the Dennis Dyack incident etc. should be on a GAF wiki, rather than Wikipedia. A GAF-specific wiki would be a place that could contain the blatant stupidity of this place, whereas fighting it out in the real Wikipedia entry just results in embarrassment.
