Ask yourself why that is?

Is it more likely they suddenly had a change of heart or is it more likely they are doing it because there's direct competition in their market [this place]?

Let's not forget, it's easy to be extra vigilant in a honeymoon period, which the other place is in, but what will it be after it's lost the new car smell?

We know the character of many of those in charge, they can't help what comes naturally to them.

What it will be after it has "lost is new car smell" is a forum with modern features and active users and transparent moderation.

Regardless of the reasoning for why they adopted transparency they did adopt it and it's been great so far.

Have you tried applying that last thought to Evilore?
 
I mean, Trump is those things. There's years of tweets to evidence that. Sounds like your idea of an echo chamber is really just soreness over calling out discriminatory rhetoric for what it is.
Oh yeah, discriminatory rhetoric like "covfefe"

You guys are obsessed. I know people within the Democratic party that were annoyed by how obsessed this place was with shitting on Trump and now all the craziest of them are over there.

I did not vote for Trump and am not going to bat for him here. In fact, I voted for 1 third party, 1 Republican and the rest Democrat in the last elections. So you can stop with the dog-whistling and obfuscation now.

They adopted the ban reasons because when I used to be on the team for the site, I actually very much pushed the idea to adopt something like 4chan's bolded "USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST"

But instead of just that it would show the ban reason behind it.

"covfefe" was an example that painted him as stupid, which was a point you were lamenting.
 
Funny how despite everyone being happy this is the thread that moves the quickest in OT.

Reminds me of:

You know what's even better? Just ignoring people like me, because trust me it's easier to do, and takes less effort on both sides to do. I mean sure I'm being a bit rude responding like this, but hey that's what you get when you've got other problems in life.
But Blam, if he ignores posters who lament old GAF like you, there will be even less than the current pitiful amount of posts on this forum.

I have no real attachment to Gaf and if it really no longer operates as a strong source of news ill drop it. However, the incredibly obnoxious and childish behavior of everyone that left is a turnoff. Gaf right now is probably the least hostile it's been since ive joined so i dont mind sticking around and seeing if the ship can right itself.
I agree with this person

Threads are way less active here and there aren't really any new interesting ones. The last post of a thread in gaming is two hours old. On the other site, you can go back 5 pages of active threads to get to that point.

The most active thread on this site is this very thread which is just...interesting lol.

If you're so adamant on explain and expressing this like others are then just go over to that site. Participate in those threads try to respond to the last person there to bump the thread back up, and talk about it.

That forum has been fantastic and shitposts get warned fast with the report system. Its been nothing but great , you simply wish it to turn to shit.

Its 100x better then here

Then leave to that sacred place that can't ever be touched. It's like one of the moderators are not a troll waiting to strike.
this too is sarcastic.

So far. Seems like they're wolves in sheep's clothing right now.

As for the second thought there, I don't know what actually occurred with Evilore (and neither do you!) but even if it were exactly as stated that's still not an unforgivable act to me. It doesn't really involve me and I'll leave it up to the proper authorities to decide what actually happened and what punishment needs to be issued - if any.

So now you're just going to tell everyone who has criticism to leave, I see.

Don't worry, I'm sure most of the people who miss the liveliness of the old forum are already applying or on the other forum. If you don't want to have this discussion, there are other (way less active) threads that don't talk about the shitty pace of GAF.


Also this "wolves in sheep's clothing" nonsense is just that. Acting like the much more transparent warning/ban system is anything but an improvement is just nuts.

We don't even need to know what happened to EviLore. Its what he did in response that left a lot of people cold. Guy fucks up in his own life, can't own up to it and then takes it out on the forum because we know closing down Off Topic for several days and locking tons of random topics had so much to do with him fucking up. Some of you need to stop wondering about did he or didn't he questions and look at the fact that this dude reacted in the worst way possible to his own failures and took it out on everyone else.

What happens if he does something seriously bad like hits someone with his car? Does he close down the forum and doxx everyone with an account left?

Agreed. This thread shows me the toxicity of Gaf.

I am on that other site. Its much more fun interacting with others when there is an active userbase that interacts with back. The big thing about the other place is they don't have message board self-esteem threads like this one and they don't allow it. And look, their community is thriving and moving on could certainly be considered a factor in their success. If this thread wasn't here, it wouldn't have devolved into the pity party that it is.

I'm sorry but that is nonsense and a flimsy justification.

Also you're missing my point. Current allegations and whether he is Innocent or guilty doesn't mean anything and I wasnt alluding to that. Evilore's behaviour before and after the Shitstorm in regards to shutting the forum down, killing OT and after all that still being condescending to users here highlights that regardless of whether they mean what they say about changing this forum for the better it's hard to take it at face value. Wolf in sheeps clothing innit?

Still, it says a lot about you as a person that you're potentially willing to forgive a potential sexual harasser over a moderator because a mod hurt your fee fees.

Honestly, I plan on posting at both places (if the other places approves me, and also other forums on the internet I like as well). I don't really give a shit about any of the personal drama that recently occurred here or any "this website vs. that one". I don't care, I'll gladly participate at both places. Don't know why there needs to be opposing teams here.

If I see an interesting topic anywhere, I will post with my two cents, as respectfully as possible (because that is my nature, how I believe we should treat others). That's all.
This was my intention. But gaf is so slow, I've naturally just started coming here less. I can stop in once when I wake up, and again when I'm off work. I don't miss much even with letting 12 hrs pass.

None of my subscribed threads are updated. The last one was November 2. The one before that was October 28.
 
I quite like the slower pace, it was incredibly hectic before and I would read the first two pages then skip to the last only to have to backtrack pages to see why a particular poster was being being dog pilled.

Also nice to not have to skim passed so many Trump threads for a change.

That post was legitimately sarcasm I guess I needed the /s I only responded to your post like that because I thought you were being sarcastic well I guess I thought wrong. I don't care if you post on either or site, you can post where ever you feel the need to post.

He said as he himself continues to support the platform of a "potential sexual harasser", too.

Seriously, what could you possibly be doing here right now given that and your undying hatred for Evilore?

You look ridiculous.

Just curious as to the reasons people have for not moving to the new forum. The spirit of the community that I joined years ago is there now and I have no reason to be here anymore.

Not trying to be inflammatory but want to know why some people don't want to jump ship?

I don't have an email they'll accept

You realize the sweet innocent angels from the other forum were spamming "Fuck you" threads that included porn amongst other NSFW surprises...right?

What was he supposed to do? Don't forget the mod team quit as well.

I mean they took 25K posters and a few over and who knows how many of those are alts. I mean not even they do because their IP tracking system in XenForo is broken. So people have multiple alts.

I know someone who has 12 alts. Not joking. People stockpile those 100% they do.

Not trying to say everyone does but a good chunk do.

Not really bullshit it's literally being echo'd by all the alt forums that ERA is being targeted by that they have alts on the site. You don't understand the length these people go to fuck with sites/people.

There is probably maybe a good 4000 alt accounts on ERA without a doubt.



Less approvals actually and more just all of them being Juniors.

Lol they aren't posting back and forth at themselves, I mean you'll see people padding those alts by just posting once in a thread, and leaving not staying for a conversation things like that. Most of the active users will not be alts obviously, but there are alts on there and a good amount of them too.

Sure putting any new forum against neogaf is gonna be positive nothings happened on the other forum yet. It also barely worked lmao, the launch at least on the backend of the forum was rushing to get everything done last minute (except that sweet sweet dark theme/mobile)

But Kudos to getting the site up in time even if they missed 3 deadlines.

Do you have any, and I mean any receipts for these ridiculous claims? For someone with such a disdain for RE you sure seem to know all these 'insider facts'. More likely tales from your ass or fiction you read on 4chan/GG sources.

You are going off the deep end and it genuinely smacks like you're trying your hardest to defame RE for some reason. It's okay dude, RE is filling OT's and new threads with ten times the rate GAF is doing with a positive atmosphere. Must all be alts waiting to strike!

Come on, son.

You should read what I said again.

Also this community is bigger than one person. Just like how ERA's community is bigger than the mods you hate so much. GAF has been a huge part of my life and I'm curious to see how things pan out.

Someone here looks ridiculous and it certainly isn't me.

Do you think the mod team keeps around a bunch of users they strongly disagree with? You realize the mod team here, that's now the backbone over there, were notorious for banning people randomly with the message "You're not a good fit here."

How can you not connect the dots here?

But the mod team here is not the backbone of the new mod team? Since when were ZhugeEx and Shinobi mods? You're talking shit.
Not to mention that everyone that cops a ban has a prominent message on the post that got them banned stating the reason and duration of said ban.

What are you going on about? There's like one ex-neogaf mod on the era mod team. Everyone else is either not there or a regular user.
 
"covfefe" was an example that painted him as stupid, which was a point you were lamenting.
Yeah..."painted him as" so that's my point. Even though we all know in actuality it was just a typo and was meaningless.

It's an example of the completely meaningless shit that we had to see at the top of the OT here for months because this place was jam-packed full of far-left fanatics such as yourself.

And where are those fanatics now? Over there.

The mod thing has been shot down so many times now that I'm not going to repeat it

Also it's a good thing that due to the transparency of warnings and bans (a big red bar that tells you what said ban and warning was handed out for) that it'd be hard for them to do that.

I'm sorry but its hard to connect the dots when the dots either don't follow logic, aren't true or don't make any sense. You sound ridiculous.

Translation: "I don't want to talk about that because you're right."

Are you for real? You're fast crossing the line from ridiculous to pathetic.

Translation: "I'm too scared to acknowledge the multiple people calling me out."...or was it one of those famous GAF dogpiles I've heard so much about when someone says something stupid and gets called out for it.
