^ I love you too, and unlike the majority response, I am glad the smilies are gone, I actually noticed, people act a little more mature and are forced to counter someone's post instead of quoting it with nothin more than a "

" no matter how ridiculous that person's post is.

But what if someone makes an intentionally funny post? Without smilies there's no good way to say "Hey, that was funny."

You could always just post, that was funny. Or lol.

I miss the smilies more when I want to mock someone. Which might be why they're gone.

They took away smilies and search (made even more insulting but throwing in a Google bar as if that serves the same purpose, lolz). I say fuck GAF!

or..."Oh man, I laughed so hard when I read this!"

I also like the common .."This one really got me!"



If I said something funny and you wrote that, I would appreciate you taking the time and letting me know you found what I said funny rather than you simply clicking on this...

Granted, but the smilie is more fun.

Honesty what I really hate seeing nowadays is this :lol

I know some people have some stupid ass web browser plug in that translates this :lol to this
01laugh.gif


But not all of us have that now.. and it's really annoying to type this ":lol" when all are you trying to say is this "lol" or "LOL"

it makes you look retarded putting that ":" in front of the lol.

Glad to see people agreeing with me on this also (see next post)
 
Too bad they removed the smileys. They were only annoying sometimes when people would just reply with a laughing gif. Now we get people who actually type out ":lol" for no reason whatsoever.

Newsflash, if the post doesn't work without ":lol", you're doing it absolutely wrong.

And how is this a bad thing ? I'd shudder to think what this place would be like it were too old and too American


Shudder away. Although if I could pick one or the other I would rather have the Europeans than the young. I post at couple boards that have people closer to my age that are about half from Europe and it is a much nicer experience. Then I used to post at a prop board that was even younger than GAF and it was so unbearable I had to leave. The combination of Euro-youth though is incredibly annoying, thankfully you guys are at least in your mid 20s.

Also pretty sure the mods still have the old search feature intact. ;)

Was there a creepy Disney-Gaf contingent before? I believe that is one new disturbing development.

Also, there needs to be more rainbows and all around fabulousness. Testosterone is passé.

All of that aside, Gaf. <3
 
I love this place because I took Evilores credit card maxed it out on pachinko machines and coffee makers, get to sleep in Ami's room when they forget to lock my cage, and have full trashcan privileges!

They also let me have a computer!

It's running Vista and has an integrated graphics card, but when you have more fun looking at the pornographic websites and screensavers who is it gonna hurt?

the great thing about gaf is that people still make terrible puns in threads about people getting murdered. or raped. or abused. its basically a bunch of white kids laughing at other peoples problems.

You're a Debbie-downer in almost every single thread. Takes quite the effort I am sure.

You try being optimistic when you're a five foot tall Duck with an eight foot long spear cock.

Makes it damn hard to get play with the ladies.

Yeah he needs to chin up, it seems like he gets his feathers ruffled in every thread.

gaf is pretty sweet, most forums are much more unpleasant (visually that is).

the selena gomez avatars are a travesty though.

woot, monthly circlejerk thread!

oh, and speaking of circlejerks, (old) threads like this one (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=342278) were what kept me entertained as a lurker back in the day, and motivated me to join GAF. in that thread was posted what I think is one of the funniest and unexpected posts in GAF history (fixed for relevance to this thread):
SecretDestroyer said:
I would be careful who you are calling a "homo" an "obsessed GAFer" buddy, circle jerks are common among "straight" men casual GAFers. I don't know how someone would get through high school or college the first page without encountering one.

as long as the rate of bannings remains similar to the rate of new members joining all will be good in GAFtown

"I LOVE THIS TOWN!!"

Er....online forum community!

Seriously, my favorite part is how its all so simple and easy to use, with no overbearing signatures or huge avatar spaces. And the nice community members.

good morning..... Mr Magpie
How are we today? :D :D :D <3

Best thing about GAF?

- I can call it home and not hesitate one single bit. Made shit loads of "friends" here.
- No excessive ads.
- Every thread gets read. Nothing is ignored.
- If you love it, chances are that someone at GAF will love it too and appreciate your love for it.
- BRILLIANT Off-topic hidden in a gaming forum. Great sports community with fun-bashing yet reasonable enough.
- Strict modding ensures that trolls think twice.
- FUCK YOU! THAT'S RIGHT! I CAN SAY FUCK YOU! :D
- Friends: "Surfing web? Yep, bet he is on NeoGAF."

My account was just approved, but over the course of lurking this past year my favorite thing about gaf is definitely the members.

There's such a rich diversity of people that contribute to these boards, and there is never a shortage of bizarre, heated, or heart-felt conversations going on. One of the things that convinced me to keep coming back was how you all watch out for one another.

I've never seen a board with such a strong user base like that, and I'm really looking forward to being a part of it.

There's something psychologically comforting to know you can ask a large number of relatively intelligent people for advice on literally anything, at any given time. I mean, are you really "alone" if you can engage in a conversation with another human, even on a message board?

Welcome to NeoGAF, Typo! *hugs*

HA! Shall be the first one to give you a nickname!
Well that was fast! I figured that was bound to happen, hahaha!


Also, I definitely have to echo the other people here talking about no signatures. Best decision ever for a message board. Everything is much more accessible and tolerable without those blasted, giant images covered in filters all over the place.
