Please don't sell this site.
For me, this place is a throwback to how video games and the video game community truly was before being invaded, sucked dry by corporations and men in expensive suits who don't know jack about what constitutes great games.
This place is my only and last community to discuss and read about my favorite hobby. Please keep it as it is.

10 posts per day, buy more posts with GAF Points. GAF Gold for 50 posts per day and an avatar. (can only use forum avatars, pay for own avatars, buy gaming related avatars)
Oh and EA Forums moderation.
It sounds like Neogaf is just being at the forefront(?) of a very common practice that has been used extensively on other career related fields since the early 2000s (if not sooner).
Here's another way to look at it. Ask yourself "would I have a problem with what I am typing now being on the front page of a newspaper, or the leading article in a magazine"? If not, maybe you should reconsider what you are about to write, because anything you post on a public internet location can end up on a proverbial "front page". There are far too many examples of this for every career using social media, so there's no reason to assume videogame PR/journalism would be any different.
This is a public forum where anyone can read what is said even if not everyone can/will post, and media outlets like Twitter/Facebook are the same. You can't be a professional in any type of field and not learn this, or you will pay dearly when you mess up. Smart professionals would do well to evaluate themselves rather than blaming Gaf for their own mistakes.

One day NeoGAF will have a great schism.
It's destiny. No one entity can last so long. It happens to every religion, society, family.

EviLore is the 1%!
If the servers crash during E3, we are all going to find your home and camp outside for months. Poop will be everywhere. Poop and lists.

Neogaf is currently worth $25million?! I...I don't think I can accept these numbers lol
Really? EL is swimming in some nice loot right now. He drives a Porsche 911, has a nice expensive high-rise apartment and recently traveled through a lot of Europe.
He may not be a millionaire yet, but it's only a matter of time. It's wise of him to keep refusing buyouts. Who knows how big this place will actually get.

From posting for only a few weeks its worth it. I used to be a tad volitile towards GAF years ago but posting and talking to members it's brilliant. The mods especially, act swiftly, which improves the experience even further.

Lol, I am pretty sure there are privacy policy in large companies like MS. If this guy did lose his job it was probably due to some sort of violation of the companies rule.
Hopefully not 20 million dollars expensive.
GAF was even namechecked by The Guardian today (very famous UK newspaper).
Damn we're so influential.
All I ask, lurking journalists, is that you register an account and say thanks next time you source something from here. Think how hard your job would be without us telling you what to think.

GAF is just a forum. It was the gaming sites that wrote the narrative and published it on their sites.
Why are they sourcing a discussion board anyway and if they didn't (because integrity) shouldn't they be taking responsibility?

Given that all I do is review games, and so strongly of my own accord that I was called to internet court for giving LEGO City Undercover a 4, I'll decline.
I didn't. Should I file for unemployment?
That's some impressive red-eye from an iPhone......
Should have just Googled you instead, much better results.

A/ It's a pretty bold statement to conclude an article that at the same time dismisses the incestuous relationship the media and the industry.
B/ I sure as hell hope the media have higher journalistic standards than the average forum poster.

The super strict mods are the reason GAF is the way it is. This would just be another forum on the Internet without them.

Just give us the word lord, we'll dig up some dirt on these journalists and have them ... terminated.
But seriously, I did find it a bit odd with a picture like that.
Last time you'll do that again.

In NYC, we offered 50 bucks a piece (25+ people) so that he'd unban fistful of metal. Evilore declined...That's serious integrity right there.

Suhni's Bane GIF is honestly one of the most relevant, timely, and well-crafted GIFs I've ever seen since my youngest days on the internet.
