Banned
I'm pretty sure the people were banned for shit posted on GAF.
All its alright in the world then.

Probably made one too many (hopefully joke) posts about bestiality.What happened to Yn-Neko kills a cat? He was my favourite poster.
Sounds like a job for Catfish.I remember reading all that crap in the funny pictures thread. I'm still unsure to this day as to whether Aguirre is a man or woman. I guess we'll have to face the reality that we may never know...
I'm pretty sure I've recognized him on arfcom, though I didn't pin him down or anything.Wonder where Manos is posting these days. A guy like that just doesn't post on a single forum.

Forgot about him. I liked jynx, even if we didn't always agree. Wonder who he is now, though he seems like the kind of guy that would eventually stop posting.Whatever happened to jynx? I think he changed usernames, but I can't remember what to :/
This thread makes me sad that I'm not "closer" to people on Gaf. I guess I'm just another poster, going through the motions, living life day to day.

Seconding Dragona. She was awesome.
EviLore said:Dragona and I seemed to stop getting along around the time she started permanently banning anyone having any sort of discussion about transsexualism. I am 100% pro LBGT presence on GAF and against discrimination, and the policies and hopefully the moderation of the site reflect that, however when someone is having a purely scientific discussion about transsexualism and says something like "the scientific evidence for gender reassignment surgery isn't necessarily entirely conclusive in favor of it, here's why," and you perm them just for saying that, that's just having an agenda that's destructive to discussion. There's a long history of situations like that, and Dragona had the best intentions but they weren't the right decisions for a GAF mod to be making.
There were also scenarios like when Dragona would issue ultimatums in the middle of huge exploding gaming forum threads, where she would say something like "if you say anything about X after this post I will ban you for three months," and maybe five people out of a thousand would actually see the ultimatum and then she would ban dozens of people for three months, many of whom were good posters. This happened several times over the years.
On top of that, it turned out that she had been letting her partner use her admin account and he had apparently been banning people himself for years, and when she finally decided to mention that this was taking place I had to either demod her or give him his own mod account. At the time I made the very wrong decision to go with the latter, because Dragona was an OG and I wanted to keep her around, and Lyre turned out to be one of the worst mods we've ever had (don't worry, Mike Works, you're still #1 in my heart). And then I noticed they *still* used their accounts interchangeably so there was no way to have accountability for their respective mod actions, so if I wanted to get rid of Lyre it would be pointless unless I got rid of both of them. I let them both go.
Meh, I've watched and enjoyed a few opinions and posts from certain Gaffers while I lurked. Obviously wouldn't publicly say who because that's weird but yeah. There are a lot of people on here, though, and as is evident in this thread, people come and go quite often. For one reason or another.For me it's kinda hard just because of the sheer amount of people who post here.

Anyone know what happened to ice-cream? He used to play the silliest loli type games from Japan on gaming side.
RIP Coppertracks 1988-2012
He was having some chest pains on the 11th, talked about it in the Skype chat. We were all shocked to learn this news earlier today. You will be missed David. I enjoyed our discussions about Nintendo and games in general.

Does he have an alt? I saw a ChitownB and assumed it was him.What happend to ChiTownBuffalo? He stopped posting affter he got that long tag from the Boston bombing thread. Last post.
I saw Voice of Reason in one thread and it didn't take long for him to cause a stir. After maybe 2 posts people were quoting his username and saying it needed to be revoked. Makes sense now that it was Eggman.Returns from time to time under various aspirationally named alts such as "Voice of Reason" and "A good poster".
I didn't really know Scorcho but that post made me cry.That was Scorcho brother. RIP Scorcho. I remember that too, one of his last posts.
I swear I've seen him post an update and they were getting divorced. I can't remember his name but he has posted in Gaming.There was a thread here a while back where a guy was stationed in the Philippines fell in love with a random woman he met over there and proposed to her. Things didn't work out and he married her sister instead and the moved back to the US and her sister ended up bringing the entire family.
Pretty much everybody in that thread said it was a terrible idea and he should get the fuck out.
I wonder whatever became of that marriage and guy.

Also, the legendary Uncharted 3 review thread - I would love to hear how some of the crazies in that thread are doing now that Uncharted 3 is generally considered worse than Uncharted 2.
You guys mean -jinx-, former gaf mod?
Awesome guy, but life happened. I think he was one of those folks where gaf was sort of all or nothing. He returns once in a while and drops a flurry of posts, but it looks like he hasn't been on in nearly a year.
Jinx is now Dilbert.
I noticed it in one of my old threads that got bumped.
Really? That's a relief.

He's active in OT though. He ended up moving to Greenland, dunno if he's back yet.
Edit: reading some of his recent posts, they still seem to be together.
Yep I was lurking at the time. He just couldn't take it anymore.I miss Segata Sanshiro. Did he quit GAF because of all the console warrior bullshit?
Whatever happened to FernandoRocker and how many alts did he have?
BTW, am i the only one that only remembers avatars and not usernames?

I believe he got divorced and was asking on the NeoGAF fb group if any of the gals in it wanted to date him.

From the horse's mouth...

Lots of other ban gossip in that thread.
Who remembers the old school GAF?
Demi, Mr. Angry Face, DrinkyCrow. I know DrinkyCrow had a baby and has the magic powers to still post even though I think he's banned.
Otrebor Nightmarecoat and jbaird
Otrebor finally got put to pasture in the funny pics thread(s).
I vaguely remember jbaird going down in a thread of his but can't remember details for shit.
This thread is making me wonder how many of you asking "Whatever happened to so and so .." are actually that person, in a resurrected alt account.

Costanza isn't a part of that anymore, he was exiled.
Cyan caught his last alt, Asimov http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=55271352#post55271352
I've been wondering, whatever happened to your hot coworker you liked?
I would feel an order of magnitude sillier if I spent a lot of time on a forum that consists primarily of people who are rejected from an internet video game forum.
