BTW, EskimoJoe Gold is having a deal right now. If you commit to a year long subscription, I'll give you the first two months free. That's free access to exclusive EskimoJoe Posts, Daily Motivational PMs from EskimoJoe himself, and a guarantee that EskimoJoe will post in at least one thread of yours a week. All those benefits, and more! It's a bargain, so don't delay!

When I was in high school, me and my friends were obsessed with games and browsed GAF daily. Since moving onto college, even though I've met a lot of people who game a lot and beyond the typical Call of Duty/ Madden popular titles I've only met a single person who knows GAF, and he doesn't read it or have an account, he's just heard of it.
Meanwhile everyone's at least heard of Reddit.
Maybe my experience isn't normal but it seems to me that despite its influence in the industry and among the hardcore, GAF really isn't known outside those communities.
So yeah, working at GAF may be a personal dream, but I'm not sure how cool it'd be to advertise it outside of e3 or PAX or whatever.

I'm not a gold believer, sorry.

wait you're serious.
It's a forum, dude.

Shhh
there was a lot of "GAF IS A SJW HIVE!!" 'round GamerGate being a big ole thing.
We dont talk about the assholes in exile, just be thankful of the mods taking some hits to make this one of the most inclusive communities.
What if the rest of the staff disagree with what you would want to set as an agenda? :+

There is no Platinum, but EskimoJoe Gold Members get a discount in the EskimoJoe Store, where you can buy the printed collection of all my greatest Neogaf based poems. Volume 3 was just released and has a really great sonnet about how to wipe your ass.
I'm trying to free your mind, Floridian. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.

People spend hours creating free content OTs for a for profit website. Mods spend hours cultivating a community for free for a for profit website. One person profits from it all.
I enjoy the contrast between this dynamic and the general forum attitude toward, say, increase of minimum wage or just compensation for work done.

Rumor has it Mods are getting payed with souls of the banned.

You can show me the door, but what makes you think i'll just simply walk through it when I can just bash my head against it?
It's not. Nobody on staff is offended when someone calls us "SJWs." They mean it as a heavy-handed pejorative, but it's not insulting to those it's slung at. I even had the tag "Openly SJW" a while ago in response to something someone said to me.
A neoGAF news website? Maybe with great journalistic reports such as
"Should you wear condoms for bj's? You'll never believe the answer!"
"When he told his cousin THIS you'll be amazed at his girlfriends reaction!"
"Dark souls is the answer for every gaming question"
"Top 100 first posts"
"Mods hate him! How to tread the line between funny post and ban worthy post"

Yeah I was thinking about just that the other day. I wanted to see how many members GAF currently has and was surprised that it's "only" ~150,000 (and I bet a large portion of them don't post). When you compare that with popular YouTube channels that have millions of subscribers, or Reddit (174 million users) then GAF doesn't feel that big anymore.
Although if you sort the gaming forum threads in number of Views, some threads are getting between 3 and 5 million views, which should be pretty decent in terms of ad revenue.
There is a subreddit for this.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I doubt EviLore is as busy as you're imagining. The forum's core attraction is that its almost entirely user generated content, so I don't know what it is he could be doing all day.
Pillars of Eternity I think
I just finished an hour ago!
The site has a closed registration policy, not an open one, so those numbers you're comparing are apples to oranges. Millions of people use NeoGAF every month and it's one of the largest websites in the world.
