What's that one thing you like about Neogaf above all else?

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.

Yeah, fuck yeah. That's a great feature of this place.
 
The people, the barebone-ness of the forum and the (sometimes too) strict moderation.

Really keeps the place a joy to read. And there is plenty to read given that there must be a community for just about everything SFW around.
 
I love how almost every time I come to NeoGAF, there's something new to read. The place isn't filled with much stupidity like on so many other websites. It's like I have fulfilling and meaningful conversations while having those few people who post funny replies delights me as well. And good humor, not trolling or mean. Yeah, I'm happy to be a part of this community and I hope to be here for many years to come.
 
having "conversations" with "people".

This.

If I might expand a bit, it's the sheer variety of conversations you can end up in, and at least have a stab at contributing to. It's a bit like a crowded but not over-noisy bar where you wander around and find a bunch of interesting people to talk to, or at least a bunch of people who are interested in listening to you, or at least some interesting people. Well, people anyway. I think.
 
The enjoyment I get from reading sophisticated comments from people intensely invested in something with the detachement of not having to hear the annoying and unappealing ways they probably say it in real life. I can enjoy discussions in here that I would most definitely leave if it weren't for the convenience of reading whatever I please into what people say & how they say it.

Anyway, what i just wrote was supremely nerdy, but you can choose what you want to get out of it.
Basically I enjoy the nerdiness without the ugliness I perceive in people because of my (somewhat vain) discrimination. On Gaf I rarely judge people, I usually listen to the core sentiment of their opinion rather than get attached to the specific way they say it.

I didn't really set out to expose my pride and snobbery with this comment but guess I just did. That was kind of ugly. Anyway I love Gaf.
 
when destiny strikes and the planets align to create a legendary thread that goes down in the history books of Gaf.

the perfect storm is getting in on the first page and being there to ride the thread out in real time, watching it evolve into something magical.

its the best.
 
It ways easier to read than 4Chan or Reddit.

The meltdowns are typically good-to-epic.

Mods usually right on top of things.

Owner poses on public webcams like a boss.
