NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

Didn't he just nuke the entire forum?

He might have nuked the database, and he certainly demodded everybody. But the server and forum software is still clearly there. He could easily start from ground zero. Or if he's super autistic, he might have been selectively deleting shit and people from the database while the site was down.

I have absolutely no clue why the FUCK he'd wanna do anything of the sort of at this point, but what he's saying isn't impossible. It's still his site and IP.

Here's what it looks like right now. The 502 thing is gone.

I don't think this tale is over
Hiro joined the 4chan irc channel earlier shortly after doing this, and right after joining, mods disabled standard users from being able to post in it. The chat became extremely silent as nothing was being posted. Someone by the name of "benzenes" changed his nickname to "letustalk" and promptly got banned and kicked from the chat.
I think mods are mad at Hiro.

It'd be hysterical if a second website had its mods mass resign in a virtue signal explosion. 4chan without mods would be filled with 'carrot and peas' instead of becoming a wasteland.

Patrick Klepek finally got around to writing his story for Waypoint.

Inside the Sexual Misconduct Allegations Rocking NeoGAF's Last 48 Hours

So NeoGAF almost definitely blew up over nothing. This thread keeps getting better and better :story:

I'm sure EvilLore thinks he's defending himself with those statements, but honestly it's more like he time-travelled and threw himself under the bus.

At this point she's incapable of opening her mouth without putting her foot in it. In one of the more recent articles linked upthread, she says that she was in an open, poly relationship at the time of the shower incident (but she was only allowed to fool around with women). Unwelcome as Tyler's advances may have been at the time, his presumption that she might be open to a bit on the side doesn't seem quite so arrogant in light of that additional information.

No, I agree with you. There's something definitely off with her. She wasn't raped, and even if the shower thing was creepy and non-consensual, she kinda blows her credibility by willingly sleeping with him afterwards. This has "regret" written all over it.

But either way you look at it, it's his own shit that got him into this mess. Especially since he and his kind will be the first to tell you that all sexual allegations must be believed. He's an idiot if he thinks he can now argue the opposite and get his traditional allies to side with him.

Remember: Believe. :story:

Hmm I guess even if GAF goes back online, its userbase is going to be shattered and moving to different sites, and the name will forever be dishonored in the view of the public.

There's already a new site in development because EviLore refuses to step down as owner. That, and the fact that the people wanting to move to the new website think NeoGAF will now become some GamerGate haven.

Anita Sarkesian is involved in this? I want to think that's fake news..... but wouldn't be surprising.
Click to expand...

Having Saint Anita give her blessing would absolve Malka of all his evil cis male sins, and all it would take is a few thousand dollars to buy an indulgence from her.

That's... actually a remarkably well done story, all things considered. They're not trying to bury Spain or Amir0x anymore. And he points out the GG deflection is bullshit.

Some of the comments from the involved parties are clearly self-serving, but that's not the journo's fault.

EDIT: Not saying Patrick Kelpek is great or anything. Just examining this in a vacuum.
Click to expand...

Same here. I'm truly surprised that Klepek didn't pull the "but...but...but GAMERGATE!" bullshit that Schrier did.

Holy shit, that's amazing, "I made it very clear I wasn't interested - why I almost completely closed the door before I got naked and jumped in the shower!"

If I was malka, I would relaunch the site alongside a statement that I was glad this happened, because I didn't care for Neogaf in its current state, and wanted to reboot it so I could start fresh without the witch hunting and virtue signalling. Essentially bill it as the new home of gamergate and shitlords. It would put me in the bad books with the sjws and media, but shitlords would turn up just to stick it to them and as we've seen, if you ignore the crybullies they can't do shit.

Malka won't do that of course, but it would be good for a laugh.

Joke is on them. Nobody sympathetic to GG would be caught dead on a Malka-run forum. They'd honestly do better embracing their hypocrisy and riding it out with him.

He's right. No one who ever gave a shit about GamerGate in any capacity except maybe some fucking moronic neo-/ggrevolt/ assclowns would ever think of getting anywhere near Malka.

NeoGAF made such a stench in the nostrils of the GG crowd they'd rather rub their faces in their own puke than give anything run by Malka patronage.

The witch hunts and harassment of devs was what brought those assholes together, though. They thought they were morally superior than gamergate but they were just as bad if not worse.
 
GAF sub-community refugee sentiment indicator
  • Consensus is fuck Tyler Malka
  • Consensus is never post on NeoGAF again
  • Some claim ignorance of Tyler's past transgressions
  • Most don't hold mods to any degree of accountibility for protecting Tyler. No one says otherwise.
  • For those who knew about the past transgressions of Tyler
    • Tyler never really was a real part of the community so it was okay
      • I had to end the line of questioning when pushed on why it's different now, anger and discontent rose too high.
