The state of NeoGAF

Tbh, I'm not sure if I want all those grotesque spam posters and extreme leftists back.

The last interaction I had with some leavers was that I'm anti-women and moderates are evil. That's the real toxic attitude that plagued GAF topics throughout the years.

The idea you're not "pure" enough.

Like, the site is live. Right now. Click it. You can verify for yourself in 2 seconds what kind of posts and posters are currently populating the site. No need for this business setting up a boogeyman for yourself to get mad at.
 
To be quite honest, if this here dies I will stop using gaming forums. It maybe true there may be a thriving spiritual Neogaf elsewhere but I started my time with gaming-age and I consider Neogaf part of that history...

A new place though...I don't know...I witnessed how it went down over the weekend and I think that just soured my appetite for spiritual successor. It may be better, could be awesome there but I am ready to let it go if this doesnt work out here and it isn't too bad as it will mean I will actually have time to play my games.

One good thing about Era is one announcement that says they don't don't any talk about the shit storm that happened here, but rather look forward with a positive outlook.
The mood for over there is crazy good right now.

Congrats on a successful migration of the relevant community members. Hopefully the rest of you make it over when registration reopens.

Didn't know registering on the other site means I was a toxic poster or an extreme leftist. There probably are some in the lot, yeah, it's unfortunate, but I'll take that over the alternatives.

You don't have to be on the extreme left to not like the combination of things that have come out over the weekend (not just allegations that seem to be getting the most attention, but the verifiable stuff that was posted with proof).

I like the time I've had on here for the most part, it's too bad about how it ended but eh. I can't accept how the ownership handled the situation so. Goodbye to those that choose to stay!
 
Well they did just steal everything Gaf is, could have called it ChinaGaf

But, I do blame the result for a lot of it on EL, closing it just to close some parts of the forum made no sense.

I think it was apparent he did not know what to do and he has still not opened OT so will be interesting to see if Gaf is ever open register? Who knows
 
I just have to say one more thing.

That new site layout is not good. No tabs? No dark mode? Yeah, I couldn't make it there.

They put it up in 2 days. It's hardly final. They've got people like Durante on the system admin side, you think it'll stay that way?
 
Yeah, a faster and better statement from Evi and not shutting down GAF, and we would probably be in a totally different position.

I’m skeptical about that. They didn’t decide to create a forum in 5 minutes. So I think the new forum was happening regardless of Evilore’s statement.

In my opinion it was a discussion that was had and brainstormed before the Facebook post came to light, but it was perfect timing to set it up now given what happened. Less questions asked and it gives people a “reason” to leave.

I don’t believe for one second that they planned all this out of the blue.

Look at some of the admin, banned ages ago from Neogaf.

Don't matter. I just saw a recent leaver post a seizure inducing gif.

If this site gets called gamergaters based on a small few, then the other one is bringing that crowd in.

NeoGAF is a community first and foremost. You can't steal that.

This is not a Russian plot to undermine US internet activity, tinfoil.

I like how you're attributing more malice to the makers of the new site than the current one.

You trying to pretend that GAF was down for five minutes? It was down for three days
 
Neogaf has been a daily part of my life for the past 7 years or so. First as a lurker and then when I joined in 2013 as a member.

I'm not going to lie. It's going to be missed, but I can't in good conscience stay on this site given what I've learned about Tyler. Even if I didn't believe the recent allegations (my gut is telling me I do), the fact that he posted that he sexually assaulted a woman back in 2012 and feels no remorse speaks enough. Didn't know about any of that or all the other shit that had come up over the weekend.

Blows my mind considering my view of Neogaf as a forum that tried to weed out folks that. I hope this place doesn't turn to complete shit. I truly do. However, it's hard to imagine it won't considering that people staying either don't care or justify the type of behavior Tyler has shown (including his reaction to the allegations), are too selfish to care that it doesn't directly impact them or perhaps are just in denial about the whole thing.

Hopefully Waypoint or the new E.R.A site can make a new home/community for my gaming needs.

Edit: Please permanently ban this account.

And I'm out.

The ban hammer was his solution to everything. At the end of the day it’s a business, and his actions and inactions made it all to easy.

Malice? Not one bit of what I said was malicious or nasty towards anyone. I simply said I don’t believe the forum was brainstormed after the Facebook post.

But anyway this thread seems to have turned into the unofficial res3tera club so I won’t say anymore on it.
 
They had to. Already had a gay-porn post, and just saw a new member register as "socialcuckwarrior88".

Lol I saw that too and he was banned when I clicked his profile. It said he was last seen 3 minutes ago so they dropped him fast.

DAMN is Era active af. Look how fast that front page is moving. Almost seems faster than Gaf was.
 
Great, now they aren’t accepting new registrations. Tried for two hours because captcha wasn’t working. Now I can’t even try. Balls.
