Your gotdamn rights, this gaf is very similar to the 2004-2009 gaf i loved. I got banned 3 or 4 times in the 2010s, but my corpse crawled back in 2018. Its been gravy since. Also im goin to plug RPG codex as another solid gaming forum mostly everyone here i think would appreciate.

I lurked from 2006 to 2012, when my account was finally approved...
And, yes, it's like it was back then.
I remember I liked about this place that you could have an opinion. You could be leftist or right, and whore for whatever console you liked.
It was fun.
I don't give a shit about "industry insiders", if it makes the place toxic.

I can confirm, this is the best GAF since mid-00s GAF.
I find it so great that I can just discuss video games and coronavirus and not be force fed any ideology. Simple things.

But I also found the actual thread I was talking about. This one - https://www.neogaf.com/threads/game...w-zelda-up-additional-comments-in-op.1233515/
Just check out all the REEE from the first page replies...
wow reading that thread is unreal now, it reads exactly like a RE thread
I am so happy all this rubbish has self isolated in a containment facility. Insufferable cunts looking for things to be offended about.

It's amazing that old GAF screamed and yelled to force "common sense" down everyone's throats
New GAF has the common sense without the coercion

There's something to be considered about popularity/population, I think.
I once heard a compelling argument which expounded on Dunbar's number as it relates to group bonds/bonding - It basically asserted that once a population grows past a certain point, bonds tend to became weaker, individuals tend to be regarded with less respect, less freedom tends to exist, and resources tend to become scarce.
Consider the example of a highway consisting of high traffic density vs low traffic density: In the scenario, the high traffic results in less freedom of movement and, consequently, more stress and less respect for other drivers (people) in general.
Another example could be a smaller city vs a suburb vs a major metropolitan city, the topic of unchecked immigration... Or hell, consider the country of China:
The population is so large that even human life is regarded as cheap. Consequently, resources are scarce, whereas people are not, and individuals tend to behave rudely towards each other (bumping into one another, etc.) - the argument given is that rudeness is simply unavoidable in such a situation. The limitation of freedom therein is, of course, very well-known and expanding on that is obviously unnecessary.
Just something that popped into my head while reading through this thread and thinking about what shitholes other forums, social media sites, etc. have become. Then again, I'm newbie poster here (long-time lurker) - so perhaps consider shitting on me for my possible hypocrisy.

I like new gaf is more likely to call out bullshit bait OPs like that stupid one in gaming now.
Makes it feel more like everyone is looking out for bad actors, like a neighborhood watch. The console wars are still ridiculous at the moment but I mean the site exists for video games so there will always be fights there. Just when it goes on for pages its irritating

I thought the Bishop stuff was funny as shit, the bans were bullshit but the show made it entertaining and somehow palatable.
That's the thing RE is missing in the "bannings that continue until morale improves" is a funny gimmick mod.

It's been pretty fascinating observing the ebb and flow of this place for the ~12+ years I've been lurking. As a lurker it was pretty nice to always have new posts to read every time the page was refreshed. Now it's nice to feel like I can actually post if I want to since it's not hard to keep up with the pace of threads.
That's me comparing a decade ago to now. Those years in the middle....not as fun, obviously.

I prefer the new GAF. I'm kind of a old dog, my views aren't super crackpot or anything but I'd get slaughtered on Reeee. Tradesman, conservative, ex-military, never met a gun he didn't like. I wouldn't share my political views on the old GAF but I think I can authentically represent myself now. Hopefully someday I can do that with my immediate family
