Support NeoGAF

[EightBitNate]

Its completely unbiased and fair posters

 

[dinazimmerman]

i came for the OT, stayed for the gaming

 

[Jitters]

How little GAF talks about itself.




loljk its the gifs

 

[Riposte]

A tie between being a great source of game news, a great source of gifs, and a handful of posters I won't name (but don't worry, you are not on that list).

 

[jtb]

the people

 

[Brannon]

No post nesting

shenanigans going on

in the house of GAF

because that shit

is atrocious

and forums that default to that

need to be shot

in the kneecaps.

And I mean this with every fiber of my being.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Hot women threads always make me feel nice.

 

[RumblingRosco]

My tag.

 

[Divius]

Sunhilegend.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

not much besides the posters. Gaming side is the best place to go on the web for news and discussion

Your lips must be sore.

haha

Although I was going to say the same, kind of. More than the moderators, it is the ruthless modding, is the only way to keep an internet forum in decent shape.

 

[Deified Data]

This. The fact that I had to wait so long to get my account approved and so easy I could get banned, it was a rush posting as a junior and is a rush now.

I still like Gamefaqs better.

Gamefaqs is a cesspool and the worst forum I've ever posted on, hands-down.

I like personalities and the mostly civil conversation.

 

[inm8num2]

The organization. The OTs. The lack of clutter.

 

[Kapsama]

That thread hijacks get stopped in their tracks.

That's one thing I really dislike about Reddit, some guy makes a thread about going to Africa and sharing his experiences and it gets hijacked by people debating the intricacies of the Bahai faith. Fuck that.

Edit: also that there really only 2 catch all sub forums rather than the extreme "specialization" other forums have.

And I hope it stays forever that way. Forever.

 

[GloveSlap]

The speed in which it moves. Fast enough that there is always something new to read, but slow enough to where things don't instantly fall off the first couple of pages.

 

[Redford]

Detective GAF, the avys, the celebs.

 

[akira28]

The potential found in the members. Some truly amazing and talented people gathered here.

 

[forknknife]

The gifs, the photoshops, the self-referencing jokes, the joke accounts, the meltdowns, the megatons...

I just miss the EPIC NPD threads at the beginning of this generation, which is the reason why I joined GAF. Maybe this generation will be also entertaining, who knows.

 

[K.Sabot]

I like the general sense of cynicism and doubt.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

The porn-thread at GAF Gold.

Evilore recently gave away keys for X-Art for the top posters. Pretty awesome.

 

[Brian Fellows]

It's busy but not too busy.

All the sexy ladies.

[BGBW]

I also love the fact that people are willing to use search and duplicate threads are frowned upon. Place I went to previously didn't even have an OT policy so you'd get threads about the same thing popping up all the time. Basically if it wasn't a sticky it wasn't an OT so people constantly made their own unofficial threads until you ended up with 10 Zelda "OT" threads.

Only reason I stayed there was the community section away from the main boards.

 

[mxgt]

I like how there isn't a million different sub sections like on every other forum.

 

[Mr Cola]

probably the gaming community section, especially if you are hardcore into a game, so very easy to find others who feel the same.

 

[Batman]

Many people on gamefaqs feel the same way about neogaf.

Some people like certain sites and some people don't.

[AlexBasch]

Reading hyperbole and anger over asinine things like videogames.

This is accurate, except it didn't mention the bish gifs. That would have been spot on.

This

 

[GAMERG0D]

I like being informed.

 

[Always-honest]

I like being informed.

This. And a lot of the topics are just interesting stuff with many interesting viewpoints.
Most people here are curious people with an open mind. Most, not all..

 

[Diddy Kong]

The tears

 

[Kai Dracon]

How fast you find out what's happening.

Seriously, nothing escapes the all-seeing eye of GAF when it comes to gaming news and a select range of OT topics. One might think that GAF members have newswire editors bribed.

 

[demon]

Aside from the fact that it kind of.....no, it literally feels like my 'home' on the internet (I've been here since 1999), I like that there aren't constantly new members. It's so tightly controlled....you don't have to worry about the community changing so much, and trolls/shitty posters are easily disposed of. It's a very well run forum.

 

[Trin]

I like that you can have a debate with someone over almost any subject.

"I love pasta!"
"Fuck pasta, it's garbage."

Never change <3

 

[Vermillion]

Great time-waster.

 

[paparazzo]

The Photoshop threads. If there's one thing I love about the members here, it's their ability to make me laugh. Playstation Meeting thread (now archived), "How to tell a facebook person" thread, etc. are pure gold.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Your lips must be sore.

You mean the back of his throat.

I like the community even if I'm not a big part of it... Okay, I'll be honest, I love Pun-gaf.

 

[Chaplain]

I like how GAF is basically a summary of the best stuff on the internet, all in one place.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

It use to be The Hot Women Thread, but apparently we can't have nice things.

 

[BlackJace]

Detective-GAF.

 

[RBH]

I like how it is usually a day or two ahead of news stories. And with so many people all over the world, you can often hear first hand accounts of what's going on. Adds to the sense of a great community/family.

And there is a group of people for just about any interest, the threads are easy to follow and the nonsense is kept to a minimum.

Not to mention the occasional Photoshop thread that leaves me in tears.

This place is great and it has everything I could want with the exception of porn.

Pretty much this.

Plus, I find the average IQ on this forum to be relatively high as well.

People are just not inclined to show their weird selves because of the moderation.

 

[FutureZombie]

The only reason I left IGN and came to GAF is because only one thread is allowed per game. I got tired of having the front page of IGN filled up with 20 threads about the same game every time a decent game came out. One thread per game makes it much easier to have conversations and get information.

 

[Kite]

I mostly lurk on gaf because it is insanely active at all times, the interface is clean w/o the trashy avatar gifs and obscenely large signatures, and people from the actual gaming industry post here once in a while.
