That...has to be doctored!? Is ERA that far gone?
ERA is essentially a totalitarian state simulator. Reading it gives one a very good idea what it would be like to live in one.

It is like "I want the site to go back to its former glories, but the only tool I have is the ban-button".Tyler has done it again.
He's just banned a member, scrubbed their posts and the Britgaf thread they made.
This is funny shit, watching the site implode again. I wonder if he will sell to reeeeee
Theyre the type of hominid creature to bitch at God to Nerf the strength of the sun's light but then in the same unholy breath, announce theyre also atheist (Oooh edgy) and that God doesnt exist.These people are so sheltered I'd be surprised if they've ever seen the sun.
There's no ban transparency, the mods are banning people and deleting their posts. It's gone back to gaf 2014, which was just REE before the split. But now there is a ree, so gaf is... nothing.It is like "I want the site to go back to its former glories, but the only tool I have is the ban-button".

Were watching a website fail, for the second time, with the same owner, making the exact same mistakes. That's got to be an Internet first right?

So basically banning the vaguely right of centre people who stood by him when the wokescolds left? Interesting. I wonder if, like resetera, we can see stats for neo-gaf?There's no ban transparency, the mods are banning people and deleting their posts.

If that's true then he's off the deep end.I don't think it is the mods that are banning these people. His mods were often quite reasonable. I am certain that these perma-ban waves are Elf himself banning people, not the mods.
you can look at site traffic on Alexa. He used to post monthly stats of how well the site was doing. Back in January he had dropped to 17k.and today he's at 35k.Unfortunately wayback machine does not have anything cached as far as i can tell earlier than early 2000 or so,
but I looked at the traffic for third week of april and compared 2020 and 2021 and traffic had dropped from ~3500 posts a day to ~2500 posts a day in the gaming forum. That is a pretty bad drop, almost a third was lost.
Then for something fun, look at stats for january, I think it was around january 26 (+/- a few days, dont remember)
where suddenly about 10% of all posts just dissapeared from one dat to the other across the whole site.
So, the purge and "remove wrongthink" has been going on for a while.
When someone confronted him and asked about "why did 10% of all posts just get deleted?" He just responded "strange". lol.
EDIT: Actually, you do get stats in wayback machine prior to early 2020 too, you just have to look for www.neogaf.com/forum/ Sorry for me being retarded.

The average number of 'users online' has plummeted and there are hardly any reactions left.
This is the death throws for the site.
This kind of thing doesn't come out of nowhere.Can confirm. It's bizarre. It's like a light switch has been flicked on in the Elf's head and he just randomly reverted back to pre-2019 tier loser-ville. You'd think that he would have learned from last time. I'm just glad that I got out relatively early.

It's almost certainly some kind of real life pressure, my guess would be he's trying to date a woman with touchy politics or is getting pressure from some kind of Sleeping Giants type of campaign behind the scenes.
I agree, IMHO he definitely got spooked by something.
That's why I said I do not judge him. Every day I see rich/famous/accomplished people groveling and self-flagellating before the woke mob.
I am not expecting heroism from a video game forum owner.
Fuck him. He should kill himself.I agree, IMHO he definitely got spooked by something.

Woah, Calm down there An0minous, lets not say something you can't take back.Fuck him. He should kill himself.
I think my favourite moment was during the Democratic primaries when the news media was full of opinion pieces outraged that there were no POCs left in the race...when Andrew Yang was still running.I hope I'm not the only one who finds the recent rash of progressive asians trying desperately to build themselves a nice race card like the other minorities to be laughably pathetic.
Well I know I'm kinda late on this but the whole 'older sibling helps raise their younger sibling(s)' trope isn't anything new and it's not exclusive to Japanese media anyway as you can find plenty of Western media that are examples of this trope by the way.View attachment 2116508
Whoever wrote this, you're either a terrible person or raised by terrible people.
I wouldn't class it as a bet. I made a post in November last year, and again in December, saying what will happen with GAF (shit was already changing then), then he had his big sperg out in Jan and again in April.What can you say? He made a major bet and the market went in the opposite direction.
Elf : "I will fucking ban-button my way back to the top. What can go wrong?"
He archived the page on Webpage Archive and posted a link in his next post immediately which can be found here. EDIT: Complete version can be found here, which includes all the later posts.Did anyone get a screen grab of Soy_Sauce's final post? It's been deleted and scrubbed from the site. Gaf is down 17,000 places since the big ban spree after jan 6th. Good business model that
