    So the owner sexually assaulted someone, all the mods quit and now the site is dead after the users started posting about it started venting shit.

    Good riddance. A giant cesspit of trolls.

    Does this mean we're going to get loads of neogaf refugees? We're full up!

    @Decks To be fair, they would only improve the comments. Never seen as many idiots on Neogaf as in, say, the Mordor face-off.

    @Captain_Toad think he covered it up and ordered any comments about it to be deleted.

    He comes across as a complete asshole who is completely arrogant. Fuck him.

    @Captain_Toad looks like a new one. The guy is a scumbag, always has been one.

    A wretched hive of scum and villainy. Can't say I'll miss it (assuming it actually dies, can't imagine a place that big truly disappearing).

    @Malek86 Can't say I read it often, but whenever I did (mostly "OTs" to upcoming games), it was a civil, mostly troll-free and useful discussion.

    Not sure why people are so keen to see it disappear when truly abhorrent communites like vast parts of Reddit, Gamefaqs or the IGN forums still exist.

    Their 'official' Witcher 3 thread did have a good subheading. 'Was going to search for Ciri, but then it all gwent wrong'.

    Other than that though, as i was banned from there for disagreeing with a mod, i'd be quite happy to see it go for good.

    There is loads of good stuff there but the test owner, many mods and posters seemed to think they were incredibly important.

    The place can get a bit overbearing sometimes but is okay mostly, i don't know why it annoys people, there is no reason to visit the place if you don't like the forum, there's nothing else to it.

    It’s not that bad a place to be honest, literally one of a few places that had a handle on its user base when gamer gate was happening. Any gaters that feigned ignorance and spouted bullocks were rightfully banned. It as also moderated the nazi/censorship/anime avatars brigade stuff well too.

    Guess they couldn’t moderate there own staff though....

    Frustrating place to post on for sure as all gaming forums are, but when the likes of 4 chan exist it is one of the better gaming forums imo.

    Saying that with this and the paedo mod maybe it is better it dies.

    Matulef was into some pretty dark stuff apparently.

    There were some useful threads like the SNES Mini hacking one but so many entitled idiots.

    Won't someone just create a NeoNeoGAF?

    It was the only gaming website that had zero tolerance to racism, the only reason so many people hate it is they're banned from there.

    It really is one of the best places for video game related stuff and much better than the toxic shit you find on Reddit, IGN etc.  Some of the community threads like Wow, Destiny and Souls were pretty awesome with plenty of interesting discussions and help of you needed it.

    @Baihu1983 Ooo come on... it was only a third ;-)
  • Deleted user 22 October 2017 09:05:48
    I quite liked OT discussions on neogaf as I was playing through a game, as they weren't just the endless collections of memes and textspeak that makes Reddit hard to follow and the site as a whole didn't tolerate all the gamergate fuckwittery. Ah well.

    @JoelStinty happy to admit I'm still pretty unclear what "gamergate" is and I've no idea what an SJW is (my mind kept coming up with possible meanings last night when it should have been sleeping).

    Only looked at little bits of neogaf about games I had and it seemed okay there. Never had an account or anything, but it seemed fairly normal. Reading up on it since all this has happened since people make it sound like an off shoot of the dark Web.

    Gamergate is the conspiracy theory that gaming is run by a zionist secret illuminati. It's a theory whereby games are implanted with mind control coding which makes those who play them more placid and easy to control. SJW stands for secret jew weasel.

    EG news reporters currently in crisis meetings.

    Loving the schadenfreude from Xbox fans who thought there was an anti-MS conspiracy on GAF. Because XBO would have been a roaring success if it wasn’t for those pesky NeoGAF posters!

    @Decks ah cheers. That makes perfect sense now and something I'd anyways suspected was the case... Or at least that's what Stardew Valley made me think.

    If I hadn't just googled sjw from the weinstein thread I would've probably believed all this post
