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

Neogaf was always full of speds, their mods being the worst of the bunch. When you give a tiny bit of power to pathetic nerds they’re going to abuse it. Now they want to take the mods and worst SJWs and put them in a safe space for all of the internet to laugh at. :story:

Whatever influence neogaf had was gone a long ass time ago. They couldn’t even get jontron pulled from a hat in time which infuriated them and the game went on to be financially successful.
 
What was neofag's funding format? Did they sell ads or get donations or whatever? Good luck with that from now on.
 
As long as the current mod staff remain in charge, nothing will remotely change. It will be the same virtue signaling, witch-hunting shit hole but with none of the recognition.

Which is exactly what will happen.
Those mods that left? You know that they want to hold that banhammer again, and they crave the self-importance that comes with being the mods of a (formerly) influential gaming forum, the latter of which they know they can't get @ a new forum.

What they want is for Tyler to voluntarily leave NeoGAF so they can say: "See? We made change happen and kicked that rapist off our forums! We aren't as bad as those GGers say we are!", and thus get back to banning people for silly shit, covering for pedos and harassing developers to remove JonTron.

I think people like Schreier & Klepek are/were waiting for that same event to happen too..

If I were in Tyler's shoes, I'd keep the forums and make a hard turn, make the forum as insufferable for SJWs as possible by hiring GG-friendly mods.

What's he got to be afraid of? Gaming sites? They already blew their wad, hell, they weakened the girl's allegations against him by revealing that they banged afterwards. The former SJW population? They are the primary reason the Devs walked away, plus, they have already proven that they don't buy shit.

It's really an easy choice IMO.
 
They say they really want EvilLore to step down so everything can "go back to normal". They are resistant to the idea that EvilLore would never do that due to business/financial/career reasons, insisting that "it's bigger than him".

lol they literally expect him to just give them his website and sole means of income so they can use it to call him a rapist and mock him for having to get a job at mcdonalds

NeoGAF is less respected a name than syphilis and herpes.

And syphilis actually managed to pay reparations at the Columbian exchange. It did a better job of social justice than they ever managed.

Even Something Awful realizes they're stuck with @Lowtax and they couldn't get rid of him unless they had a lifetime supply of box wine.

They use a generic ad service that consistently gives mobile users problems including vibrating and opening up the app store. They also tried to transition to HTTPS support but couldn't, because of this ad service.

And they would ban users if they got wind that said user was using an ad blocking service. Where as normal, non power-tripping site admins would ask users to white list them.

Ah yes comrade that's the NeoGAF version of communism in a nutshell.

The fact that there's so many self admitted communists on gaf should tell you plenty about the community in question. SJW and pedos not withstanding.

Why so? If it were funding issues, SSL certificates are essentially free now thanks to Let's Encrypt.

Absolutely, and their ability to make communism sound even more idiotic is downright scary since they add an extra layer of government morality regulation. In their country, someone who says nigger once would be sent to the gas chamber.

because embedded non-HTTPS stuff in your HTTPS site causes browsers to freak out, and won't fully validate. They spoke to the ad service apparently and were like "lol fuck you". Tyler made a very big deal about it, ranting about how he's working a million hours a day trying to get the ads fixed, working with his crack ad team.

Literally nothing fucking happened after that, and really recently (like a few days ago) he de-stickied the "report malicious ads" thread.
 
I'm pretty sure it was more an example of utter technical incompetence.

Probably.

I looked up GAF's webhost, and it's Liquid Web, which, if you're dumb enough to pay Liquid Web prices (cheapest dedicated server is $200 a month, cheapest cloud VPS is $60 a month), then you're tech-stupid. Much cheaper (and better) webhosts out there, and you choose that EL? God, you're dumb.

Take a look at their awful prices:

They LOVE the idea of giving government near absolute power even though some one like Trump (who's public enemy # 1 on GAF ) can get into power.
