Steady Growth for NeoGAF

Meh if you saw our best beaver you'd be trying to eat it instead of fighting it.

Love Canada Gaf.

I like your message but take umbrage with your demonisation of shitposting. Shitposts are the lifeblood of a healthy forum that is fun to participate in. I suspect we have different definitions of shitposting though.
Mayhap I should add that benevolent shitposting does occasionally agree with me, kind sir.
 
I'm happy too see that GAF is getting back on it's feet!
All i have to say is:


Hopefully GAF will shine as a beacon to all those that search a relaxed forum without the crazies running the shop.
 
Good to hear. I think props need to go to the work done behind the scenes in terms of the site improvements and to the overall quality of posts. Encouraging.
 
Congrats on the success; I'm glad to post here. As a long time lurker, the changes are definitely positive!
 
Gratz everyone especially the aussie bastards, you guys are hilarious, you guys make a slow work day speed right up.

Also big shout out to the Mods,I have forgetten the names but I know the avatars - god of war - adult Red Riding Hood - dark Robin - Dracula and bearded old tree. you guys are great and deserve a thank you, so Thanks

I used to be an active reader/lurker of this forum until it turned into a shit hole during the whole "Gamergate" thing. Where people were being banned in the hundreds for nothing more than having different opinions.

Someone recently told me that it was different now, so I came back and created an account. So far it's been great. Lots of diverse discussions and open-mindedness. I hope it continues to grow.

Always cool to hear good news about my go to internet community for news about my favorite hobby and video games.

I moved with resetera at the time of the meltdown but only lasted two weeks there before I came back here. After Comrade EviLore EviLore made it clear he wanted to rebuild, I decided to participate in all of the graphite-rubble clearing and was pretty active. Interestingly, my post activity is probably inversely related to the general activity on the board... I guess my natural state of being is more to lurk like I did the first few years, and I've definitely noticed I feel less inclined to post lately which obviously proves that neoGAF is back.
 
Just be careful though. Some other crazy forum will probably collapse soon and it's lunatic inhabitants will probably want to come back here and make a nest.
 
Awesome news! Loving this place since my return. To the newcomers I say...

Another visitor, stay awhile. Staaaaaay foreverrr.
 
Glad to see it doing so much better. I was pleasantly surprised when I rejoined a couple weeks back. I'd like to see more gaming OTs on the front page of gaming and less bitching about game industry things and console-warrish threads, but that's a common theme on all gaming forums in recent years. Too much bitching and complaining about gaming and not as much having fun chatting about the game(s) you're currently playing. I'll try and do my part (made one OT and posted in a few others since returning), but I've haven't been playing many new releases lately. That will change soon as I plan on starting up Bloodstained (that has a very active OT at least!) and have Mario Maker 2 preloaded.

Thanks man, we love you guys too.

GAF has a structure and systems in place to not let that happen again. If they come in with all the bullshit games they can play on other forums they'll quickly find it does not work here. Discussion and disagreement is allowed but just smashing the report button to silence someone with a different viewpoint does not work here.
 
I'm always sharing Neogaf links to friends and encouraging others to join the discussion.

I'm trying to tell my friends that NeoGAF is the place to be. Including my fellow Libertarian friend.

OH! Almost went off topic there. Sorry!

Looking at it from another angle: in a year and a half, we've climbed from 1% activity to 10%. Plus if you add in post reactions (remember when a funny gif would get hundreds of reaction posts?), it's more like 25%.

By the end of next year, GAF will have dozens of husbands!

40k-50k posts per day on average back in 2017. It was a challenge rebuilding from a 500 post per day pile of rubble that was being constantly spammed with gay porn attacks by ResetEra people, probably a lot more difficult than starting from scratch in most respects, but it's not in me to give up on this place.

Demographics shifted a few percent more non-US after the drama, otherwise pretty similar. Registrations are all organic and word of mouth, yeah.
oh, that's not too bad then assuming it continues at a decent clip
 
Well deserved - this forum feels like they did back in the mid 00s. Reasonable moderation and generally open.

but i'm the weirdo who like chicks without make up

I never liked my ex in make-up, which annoyed her because she wanted to look good for me. For some reason saying that she looked great without it made her feel like I didn't appreciate it.

I liked looking at her, not clay. She looked real with her little freckles and imperfections.

Not doing my part enough, but congratulations! I'm looking (not posting..) forward to the future of GAF.
 
There's a good balance of shitposting now, plus politics is quarantined. 👌

Still only created like 1 thread since 2005 though.
