NeoGaf on Life Support, and all Mods quit!

He posted that Yankee tweet the second they lost last night lol.

No... It was over long before 9:45PM

He also said the word... "Glad to see things finally burning to ashes"

No one uses those words when referring to a team losing the playoffs, and it's silly to think so

I agree. Now he's trying to walk it back.
 
Yeah, kind of looks that way.

I assume a replacement site will be up in the next couple of days.

I think it would be very difficult to have to start a replacement site. GAF's reputation makes it an easy target for trolls.

True. Maybe that's what happened here -- they got overrun by people trolling and hating on GAF. There's a backlash going on right now.

I think it'll happen eventually, though (a replacement site). Too big a community to just let it drop. They will need good mods, that's for sure. Hopefully it will be looser than the old GAF. Guess that depends on who sets it up, and what the rules are. That's probably what they are working on now.

I have the feeling there was another site getting built, and it might have trumped (pardon the expression) this first one.

Maybe it will end up like with TXB, where you had some people going to one site and others going to a different site.

Speaking of that, whatever happened to We Crave Games and Gamertype, btw? Are they still around? I haven't checked lately. I'm too lazy to do so now.

LOL, and he said finally because the series was drawn to game 7. You sure you are not a Neogaf defector?

I can't stand Gaf (Except the info you could find there) & for you to defend his words says a lot about you.

I find what he said tasteless, no matter if it pertains to sports, or a forum known for not being so friendly to Microsoft.

No one should be GLAD things are finally burning to ashes unless they have a vendetta against them.

Btw, the Yankees have not burnt down
 
I am a member of GAF. It started out very fun and normal, but man, things really nose-dived after Trump won the election.
I am a bit sad to see it go because I have seen some serious threads on that place and I know people use it as an oasis or an escape from the stress of their regular life but it definitely was treading downward.

I suspect it will be revived - probably not the same domain but a rebuild of the website with different ownership.
I won't speak on the alleged actions of the original owner.

No, I don’t believe that he did. Either way i don’t really care. I’m taking it as meaning what I think it means. No big deal anyway.

Ok sounds great man.

I don't think you are a liar anymore than he is a liar. If you said you didn't say it, I would believe you. Just like I would believe him.

This part surprised me

In a phone conversation with Kotaku, Leupp said that even after the alleged shower incident, she’d continued her friendship and even had a brief physical relationship with Malka until they had a falling out at E3 2015. She said that, prior to the alleged shower incident “I had no reason not to trust him. He had been introducing me to people and helping me network for my film company,” she told me. “I feel gross from having ever been in contact with this person.”

Who cares if he did want neogaf burned down? The internet is a bitch.
 
People are focusing on the site and owner too much. These are the obvious things that are dead in the water.

The more interesting stuff, which I hope comes out later are things like:

- Which mods knew? And why did they stick around?
- Which company offered to buy GAF for $5M and $10M?
- Which big wig gaming people will come out and say GAF was trash? I'm not talking about web site owners or journalists. I mean EA or Activision guys and such
- Considering the site seems shady to begin with.... Malka, that pedophile guy, bias mods who all ran for the hills asap, etc..... what other dirt is there?
- Will any company out there take over GAF for pennies on the dollar and relaunch it?

I look forward to reading his piece on it.
 
Just looks petty for a Microsoft head to say something like that
Lol Really? IMO Tyler Malka is worse. If Bill f***ing Gates calls him out I'd applaud it. Better then being a little bitch mod that knew and did nothing. Get a match Hedon will bring the gasoline. I can't be involved because of priors...

It's like you brought a little bit of GAF into the GAF is dead thread.....nice!

It's not about comparing Tylor to Microsoft's people... It was about what Mike Ybarra said, and how it's in bad taste.

It would be just as bad if Sony, or Nintendo's people said such a thing.
 
Its a bit old, but I read this back when Amir0x got busted, its a 5 part lengthy article about neogaf, the mods and controversy. Its pertanant here. Particularly the section about the moderators and their agendas.

https://nickmonroe.blog/2017/04/12/neogafs-shadows/amp/
I read most of it. Amazing how many anti-MS related shenaigans there were. And not one involved something against Sony.

Most of the stuff I didn't know about, but not surprised one bit. That Boogie guy took it too serious. He should have known GAFFERS as asses and when they want to be negative they will keep questioning forever until the person fielding questions loses all energy. No answer will suffice.

A stupid tactic that has been a NEOGAF staple for 10 years. Best thing is to ignore those tards and move on because no answer will ever work.

It's a no win situation because if the person actually does answer questions, GAFFERS will keep re-questioning, and ultimately not believe the answer.

But then if the guy calls it quits and doesn't want to keep answering questions, the hive mind will proclaim he has something to hide.

Can't win when you got 1,000s of them backing each other up.
