There really wasn't anything out of the norm that I noticed. Maybe I missed something though.

I know right. Bunch of insane people. Meanwhile there are people on GAF who get hard ons for stuffed animals, write essays on shitty games, write essays about the story of Pokemon, and also get hard ons for video game women. Pop GAF was so abnormal compared to the rest.

You might have a fixation for hard ons good sir.

You were always cool with me, PopGAF

I wish your offending parties had simply been banned - instead of having everyone in that community punished out of nowhere for shit that they have no direct control over.

This is what I don't get - if the GIFs were the offending thing, we could easily remove them or just delete them from the server they were hosted on.

Instead the thread just gets deleted out of no where, it's so perplexing to have no solid concrete reasons. :/ But oh well.

I'm going through the cached version of PopGAF from the last few days and I'm not seeing anything overtly explicit.

Check Football Gaf, Wrestlegaf, MLP Gaf etc. All groups are like that in terms of content. Sure when you are an outsider you might not comprehend whats going on but to that community it all makes sense. I don't understand Hip Hop Gaf or Football gaf for example but thats their community and they understand each others. WrestleGaf sometimes went even crazier than PopGaf even.

Oh I agree, especially with WrestleGAF.

I'm not saying that they all of the more passionate community threads should be closed, just that they are really, really weird communities for an outsider. If they can continue to have their gif-based conversation without overly sexually objectifying the very entertainers who they're supposed to be respecting, they should have their own thread IMO.

Hey, if the boss says you're too sexually explicit, whether through gifs or language or whatever, you gotta cop that. If it required an immediate response you know it was serious. Don't start flinging at other subcommunities.

Agree. There are other threads that get warnings for the content but we didnt get a single one for it. The warnings we got were some time ago for reusing the same gif and quoting it multiple times in a row and people even warned the others at that.

So not worth it
People have entirely the wrong idea about WrassleGAF.

But I see how people think it's only gif's from the many wrestling gifs that pop up around GAF (which are probably posted as much by outsiders as by WrassleGAF members).

That said, RIP in peace Pop-GAF!

That's the thing though, popgaf really didn't do that. People weren't part of the community just because we thought the singers were sexy we were in it because we liked the music. The only sexual things that would get posted is stuff from music videos or the occasional twerking gif

I know outsiders just think its a really shallow community but there's been countless in depth discussions about serious matters in the industry

I never visited POPGAF outside of the few times they entered threads in the normal OT, but...

Really? How is POPGAF any worse than another part of GAF? Because they posted Whitney GIFs? Oh shit! And they may post Diva related GIFs in normal threads? They say shade? I'm legitimately confused.

There are far more bizarre and frankly strange parts of GAF that don't involve people's enjoyment of pop music and the culture that surrounds it. I have no idea what they did in regards to sexually explicit material, but, to everyone complaining: get over it?

I suppose it could have been something from way earlier in the thread that was noticed/reported to an advertiser. Sites usually have their hands tied when that happens :/

More like "RIP Pop", amirite?

I hope this does end all the threads sexually objectifying women though, it's no wonder so many non-males feel that the board is very male-dominant.

On a serious note, that's weird deleting a thread with no prior warnings (as far as I know, no "don't do this or it will be deleted"). Guess they can start anew though?
Click to expand...

Yeah, that's what I'm finding weird. Evilore and the mods didn't give any heads up. Just "oh, we're here to wreck your shit. *delete in five minutes*" :/

What about the "awesome" fanart thread?

That's not safe for anyone or their money
