"NAG" gaming forum steals GAF layout, ToS, announcements, even tags

This makes a fair amount of sense, so I'm not sure how much impact it's going to have around here ;)

NeoGAF is a little too Internet Hawkish and always looking for something to dig claws into and rip apart, I think, however much it is deserved.

Thing is, as far as I know, Miktar has never /hidden/ his NeoGAF influence on NAG or where he gets the quoted text from, over on that forum. Everybody /knows/ about the whole deal and always has. Dare I suggest that GAF is freaking out in part because it takes itself a little too seriously? On the Internet? (Never!)

Of course, there is the now-discovered "furry" factor, which, being the Internet, means for a lot of GAF it is somehow reason enough to never drop it and squeeze as much blood as possible from it. And forum invade, wank off on IRC, whatever. It's times like this when I get a kick out of how much more evolved GAF likes to think it is over places like Gamefaqs.

(I'm actually amused by this angle. And for posterity, Ed Kock / Miktar is 27 years of age.)

Hmm, maybe. I can't lie, I think it's kinda funny feathers are being ruffled because of this, because they shouldn't be.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery & obviously it's an ex-Gaffer who appreciated the GAF layout and set up. relax just ask him to change the words up a bit and enjoy that GAF has left a positive impact on the guy and let it be.

It's no big deal and besides all this is going to do is give his forum a huge spike in hits and also new members migrating from GAF, esp ones that are banned or will be soon. (hopefully not me , lol)

You know, I have lost all words that might describe this situation. Props to Miktar. Weird, strange props, but props nonetheless.

There is a difference between Imitation and flat out shameless rip-off.

Of course, that goes without saying, but giving them the attention he needs for more hits and new members isn't the solution.

If Miktar wants his own forum with minimalist styling and similiar mindset, that's fantastic. I just wish he'd kill signatures as all forums should.

The problem is that he can't think of any of this shit up on his own and thinks copy/pasting passes as merely "imitation". :p

Hey, I always quoted the original thread authors - and everyone on NAG knows I get it from NeoGAF as a favour (since we get internationally hardcapped if we go over a certain amount of bandwidth, ISP defendant).

The ToS and forum descriptions I'll changed, and all the FAQ stuff.

Anything else?

Yes, there's just one thing:

What about satisfying us GAF users? We are scarred. I'd rather you not be a furry. Shit is creepy as hell.

Considering the pagecount on this thread - I think you got as much blood from my stone as you can, really. Without using powertools.

Everybody has custom tag on NAG. Fail.

I really hope Miktar doesn't get one now here. I would be most upset.

What, you never noticed this tag before? I've had it for years here :lol I think Dragona might have come up with it, I'm not sure.

I'm happy with it; it both services GAF's furry paranoia (*tips hat*) and inadvertently means more than GAF would imagine, and not to do with furry fans :lol

What kind of a fucking retard replicates a forum? Seriously. Get a fucking grip, Miktar. You've created a new meaning for the word 'pathetic'.

C'mon man. When I first came into the thread, I thought maybe GAF was being hard on you. But with the wholesale copying you've got going on....
