Just a did a search for posts with his name. The newest one is from 2004 so they are getting removed.
Looking at his profile and then looking at his posts I see recent ones. Maybe those take longer to disappear?

Woah. That....seems illegal and deleting evidence? Epscially since he actively talked about the topic from a political standpoint?Just a did a search for posts with his name. The newest one is from 2004 so they are getting removed.
He was a NeoGAF moderator and prolific poster after that. Gaming spheres are familiar with his usernam and associate him with our community. It's like if Ronald McDonald got busted in a pedophile ring, it taints McDonald's name.

Eh, if any of AmirOx's posts are part of the investigation, they may have been asked by investigators to delete and hand over the posts.
Deleting the thread was the biggest ammunition any troll could have asked for though
Jesus Christ, come again???????Because it's super embarrassing to have a former mod turn out to be a pedo.
which mod was that?
I don't get the idea that this somehow reflects on the forum as a whole. There's what, 120,000 people here?
I sincerely hope no one is deleting stuff that could be pertinent to an investigation. I get that they're scared that he was using the site for this (this site has a definite appeal to kids) especially if he had mod privileges when he was doing this stuff, but deleting anything that's evidence is a terrible idea when a crime like this is involved.
Knee jerk delete is fine, stop overreacting. Mod team probably assumed it was a witch hunt and made a quick decision to delete the thread because if it was fake it could cause unnecessary and potentially irreversible damage to someone who may have been targeted for their past.
Relax.
PS: Fuck you, Ami.

Atleast he can't go back and edit them this time.

Oh cool. Glad they are not deleting posts.He's banned, but his posts aren't vanishing. GAF's search feature just sucks.
I never knew Amir0x was into anime.

Maybe he should be de-nutted, too.
This is hilarious because those comments were always about how much Amir0x sucked. This just went full circle for you.Yep. I learned about NeoGAF because I kept seeing his name and NeoGAF pop up on YT videos comment sections and stuff.
They deleted the first thread because accusations of pedophilia are a pretty big deal. Now it may actually be true so they're probably waiting to see what happens before issuing a statement or anything.I need a statement soon, because how gaf has handled this is terrible so far
Sure, but the OP didn't say he knew the dude's name or the source of the second picture that he was comparing to the one in the news story. If you didn't already know the guy the evidence in the OP was not that solid and I don't assume that the mods online at the time could confirm the details. They would need to be 100% sure before letting a thread like that stand.Uh, the poster posted the story from the local paper about it. That's not light on information. And the two pics were nearly identical.
That's crazy holy shit I take a nap and then this happens
They would be taking it down in compliance with the investigation so that the posts could be used in any court case.Woah. That....seems illegal and deleting evidence? Epscially since he actively talked about the topic from a political standpoint?
Exactly, it's bad PR.NgL this is probably going to irreparably wound the site tho
Hard to see coming back from something like this.

Always knew he was a dirtbag. But not THAT much of a dirtbag.
*poof*
