Thanks for making NeoGAF a great video game community

Neogaf is the best place to discuss games online. Period. Not crazy like the purple forum, not a bubble like Reddit where it's all about expressing the right opinions to get updoots, less cynical than 4Chan, and avoids the complete chaos of Discord servers.
 
I bet quite a lot of devs and old members still lurk here, even if they no longer have their accounts.

As a certain election result has shown us, the majority of people don't carry the extreme and warped worldview that is championed on Era. There must be a fair few people that are back looking this way.
3M unique monthly visitors is mind-blowing. Really curious who they are. Maybe people banned from GAF, devs, general lurkers, and people brought in from specific game-related Google searches.
 
Damn, sorry you had to go through all that. Sounds awful.

From my own point of view, it gives me more confidence in you as captain of the ship, though. Not only were you able to weather that storm and rebuild the community - an impressive feat in itself - but I know that you understand, in a way few others do, how nasty, vindictive, and destructive the SJW/cancel culture mob can be. Because of that, I have complete confidence that you will not allow the purple hairs to grab the moderation reigns again, and that GAF will remain a place where we can say what we think (within limits, of course).

Anyway, great job with the forum. Happy to hear about its success.
I think the "great split" was inevitable. Some people are just not capable of existing in an "unsafe" space where differing opinions are allowed and the woke postmodern religion is fair game for criticism just like anything else.

Its total bullshit what they did to Evilore, but if it wasn't that, it would've been something else.

And it seems like something has massively changed even in the past year. We had to relearn the values of western post-enlightenment culture the hard way, and now the pendulum is swinging back at breakneck speed.
 
Thanks for never selling out EvilLore.
Still the best gaming community, and probably one of the biggest independent, non-corporate owned communities on the internet?
We survived the selection like a pro also. Barely a blip of political drama nonsense (that I saw anyhow).

Thanks for giving the community a great space to talk about pretty much whatever they want. With exception of a handful of less than enjoyable encounters, this community is awesome.
 
It's nice to be amongst sane people. Hard to find these days on the interwebs
I'm not sure about sane…go look in that thread
EviLore EviLore would have a field day!!!

So thankful that you can share some wealth? That pro is expensive. ;). Jokes. Thanks for building a great community that is the best there is and ever will be.
 
Really is a great community. Pretty balanced overall, good analysis and discussion without fear of having the "wrong" opinion and being cast out.

I try and make it a bit more positive since some people can be Debbie Downers on everything.

Thank you John Marston John Marston once again, you're a big part of the great community here!
 
I've been following NeoGAF for many years, probably close to two decades. Back in the PS3/360/Wii gen, I used it as a reference to post on a site in my native language, so for a long time, I was just watching discussions. Only recently did I actually start posting as a user.

NeoGAF has been part of gaming culture for me, along with all the fun the gaming world brings, and I'm really glad it's still going strong, era after era.
 
Strong men post on message boards.

Message board posters make the rare woman feel weird.
I'm actually fine with it if it's nearly all guys here. The dynamic in a group of all guys (plus the rare lady who likes to talk shit with the guys and can dish it out and take it in return) is TOTALLY different from a mixed group. This place wouldn't be nearly as fun if we tried to make it into the latter.
 
Now did the grow started after I led or when I returned ? 😂
Good to see it's growing big again. The threads are indeed moving very fast
