It's a shame really, I'm not sure this website will ever recover from this. It's too tarnished from this whole situation and how Evilore responded to this.
There could have been some hope I guess if Evilore resigned and left the reigns in the hands of someone else instead of blaming his ex, but I seriously doubt he'll ever do that.

Guess I need to post this again since there are some people who seem to have already forgotten after 2 page. Wow, how the mind slips!
"Allegedly"
Opening admitting to sexually assaulting someone(then banning anyone who called him out for it)
Posting revenge porn with their real full names then another admin(a now jailed pedophile) printed the photos and jacked off over them and sent it to the boyfriend.
You're right, how can we even know if he's guilty or not? HMMMM

It's a gaming forum. Why can't you believe it?

I'll do that, thank you.

The far-left aligns with the neurotic idea that most people are inherently evil, justifying a crusade which tickles a fashionably misanthropic 'them and us' tribalism. Strength in numbers is a great antidote for self-doubt. Picking a side and going to war -particularly one without fatal consequences- simply feels good, always has.
The far-right does the same, with a different voice, but the underlying addiction to adversarial pleasures comes from the same primitive place. The difference is that the left claims the high horse and should in theory know better, but rarely does.
Of course, these philosophies have to operate under the notion that people are one-dimensional A or B thinkers, ignoring the reality that the average human being is an incredibly complex and unique animal, and that the vast majority of people align with neither far-left nor far-right. But no, buying into a childish lie is less challenging and more rewarding.

Of course it's real
But isnt the name NeoGaf just a contest of the old Gaming Age forum before it reemerged in '04?

Yes. I was also lurking there for the Iwata threads and things. Remember being disappointed in the whole fiasco.

OT was a disaster zone right before GAF was taken offline. Total shit show. It would probably be worse right now. Gaming at least resembled a little bit of gaming side.
I would counter that and claim you're being overly dramatic. I know you understand that members who will still participate here don't excuse sexual harassment. It's an easy blanket statement to make- owner of site does thing, people still participate, people are ok with thing. Problem is, a community is not a reflection or an extension of any one person. It's the sum of each individual who participates.
What's going on here is fairly rote when it comes to internet drama. People lose their minds on the internet at the drop of a hat, i.e. making their own site that mirrors the bad site but it's pure and wholesome without the bad person, only the bad people stayed, etc.

Yeah, I remember seeing that back when it was new.
It's all nice and good except for the fact that the people you're pissed about were not far left. NeoGaf was never far left. There were a handful of posters who actually said they were socialists / communists.

That's an easier thing to be related back to than EviLore's sexual misconduct. "ResetEra" uses active language which evokes more attention to this specific event that the new site developed from.
May I ask how you know that this is the same person that owns this forum here?
EL's always been a grade-A hypocritical cunt. who almost no-one who participated here actually liked That's why it's so humorous to see all the account suicides over this particular matter considering how tame it is compared to all the shit he's been involved with in the past, and it was hardly a secret.

i know, it was based on what someone actually posted, lol
I ain't worth a topic, so I'll keep this short and simple:
Thank you for the good times, GAF community. It's been over eleven years somehow. My participation was mostly limited outside of a couple niche topics, but I appreciate all of the great people, content, and the uniqueness that the site had. My main regret is lurking too much. You don't know what you have until it is gone.
And it is gone - this forum is dead to me. I've been fortunate enough to connect with some great GAF people in Discord and on other sites, so that's where I'll hang for now.
Anyways,

Damn that's some fine complacency.
They want to be here, just not with Evilore running things. What is there to miss.

you really gonna pull a Mac here?
Also out. I'm appalled by the type of people that have come out of the woodwork. This is your perfect setting now Malka. There was a chance to save this place, but you were just too much of an egotistic cunt to care. It's irrelevant at this point if the sexual harassment allegations are true or not
Gaf is all about you, it was always about you, and the remaining community mean fucking nothing to you.
I would say it was nice knowing you all, but most anyone of substance has left. The few of you still fighting for the site are wasting your breath I'm sorry to say.
outb4 "lol junior!!11!! Lol nobody cares what juniors think anyway"
almost certainly is.

Good point. Hopefully resetera comes on tomorrow.

I'm not pissed. But I do think the mandate sustained by much of the community prior to the site going down prevented adult discussion. It was dogmatic, aggressive, and puerile.
Whether GAF can ever cultivate a healthy, balanced, self-policed community going forward or not is unknown, but the mass exodus of a large number of reactionary and vitriolic dramatists gives me hope.

Over nothing? Fuck off dude you dont know jack shit.
I'm going to try to keep it civil.
For me, politics ruined this forum. I haven't posted here in a couple years or more, it has become a political echochamber and to deny that is to be pretty naive about the reality of all of this.
I saw many people, including myself getting temp banned for saying the most innocuous things, basically if you don't align politically with the moderators, they'll exercise their power and you're cast aside, that's not the kind of environment that I want to be around, because it kills critical thinking and meaningful discussion, you have to think twice about what you're saying in case you might "offend" someone, specially any moderator that might be reading your comment.
I'm no one to tell you what to you, but what I can try and say is to be very wary of hive-mind places like this, they can be detrimental to yourself and society, this used to be a gaming forum that became some sort of far left discussion and enforcement center, and ultimately is what killed it... That is of course, how I see it as someone on the outside looking in, I hope we can one day go back to our passion, GAMING and be excellent to each other once more.

Pull a what (or who?)? But to answer your... question (?) I actually would like to know, because I kind of prefer to know some facts other than those fitting a narration before making my mind up.

Holy shit man.
Malka take a step back and step away from the site as an admin bruh.

Oh, I just realised the Formula 1 topic went down with the off topic section as well.
I think it comes down to many people here seemingly participated and enjoyed GAF in spite of Evilore, not because of him.

Precisely. You're in denial, oblivious, or a liar if you sincerely think that GAF didn't have a near consensus political view that was pushed aggressively in every thread that brought about even an ounce of social commentary. There was very little room given for opinions beyond that consensus, as anyone who expressed such views was chastised, insulted or banned.
Denying this was ever an issue just means that y'all have learnt fuck all from this fiasco, and if Off-topic ever does return, the same shit is going to become the norm yet again. If that's the case, I hope it doesn't come back.
I naively expected him to do that. Instead he posted the usual ''it's not true, she's lying'' routine and carried on.
You do realise that most of the OT pages and communities that thrived had jack shit to do with politics? Plus wishing super hard that politics somehow disappears from gaming won't make it so. Plenty of political things happen in gaming all the time that are newsworthy.

It didn't go down, it's just not visible at the moment (unless "down" refers to "currently not reachable" of course, then yep).

Also called her mentally ill. Scumbag move.
Sorry I was being sarcastic.
Well that's been made obvious with almost every notable user leaving. We enjoyed this site in spite of EL. He was a detriment if anything.
