How someone responds to an accusation says a lot about them as well, you know.

Having an OT is fine.
To clarify; its all the pomp and overemphasis on the OP thats bullshit. Its all viral marketing.

Yeah it's time to go people. Thanx for all the laughs and all the good times.
Tyler Malka, i hope you find peace within yourself. Make amends with your past, like we all have to do at some point. Be a good person, be modest, be honest. This is my advice for you all. Oh, and buy a good BED!!! that's one third of your life being comfortable right there.
Wish you all the best and i hope i will see some of you again on another forum. Though i guess i lost all hope in humanity the past few days, especially on the internet.
I respectfully request a perma-ban. I'm a better man without the internet.

This is pretty much where Im at right now. The internet social justice movement has done a lot of good and thanks to it a lot of issues which affect me and my relatives directly have been brought to light but there has always been an unnerving element of this movement which has been gathering momentum over the past couple of years and has now culminated into a "guilty until proven innocent" culture.
Heck I saw one person in one thread demanding that even if Tyler is not guilty of the allegations, he should still be compassionate towards the mental state of his accuser which is fucking not on. Im not saying Tyler didn't do it nor that he doesn't deserve the the hate (or at the very least the disgusting posts and abuse of power he has indulged in) but I am asking people to take a deep breathe and back up a bit. This isnt a Palmer lucky situation where the events and motivations are clear, lets wait till we get the full story before we start calling people sexual predators and effectively destroying their livelihoods and families. Ofcoarse, feel free to call out the past disgusting bullshit he has said but be prepared to lay off if he says he regrets saying/doing those things. Lord knows I've done some stupid shit when I was younger.
But with that being said;
Tyler you fucked up.I mean really REALLY Royally fucked up. Shutting OT was never gonna douse the fire, thats like cutting down half a forest to stop a forest fire which burnt down the other half.In closing down the entire OT section you forced people who would have been happy to stay out of it to take a stance on no evidence save for your past posts and more recent bad decisions and forced them to take up arms on past grievances.
Call it what you will "A decision made in passion" or "A miscalculation", its was still a bad move, it only made you look more guilty and not to mention immature.Take a deep breath assess the situation and come up with a better solution than nuking half the forumn.

See, that's why I liked the site, idiots like you had no place here. Shame
That insinuates OT makers were affiliated with the developer or PR, which I assure you in most cases was not so. In fact, that's actually insulting as someone who created a few Gaming side OTs.

I would offer to buy NeoGAF, rehab its reputation, build a competent mod team, and donate net proceeds to charities this community can get behind, but not enough time, unfortunately, and I don't think Tyler would ever let it go.

You have to admire the amount of bitterness crammed into such a little post.
NeoGAF just got put on training wheels by a delusional person with no business running a community. But playing pretend is this site's motto, after all. Big boy pants!

Hey Tyler,
I still remember when I first showed you the MGS4 OT almost 10 years ago and how excited we were to put it together. Staying up late into the night just trying to figure out if we could even fit the whole thing and then the insanity of the next morning when we posted it. It was a moment that I think defined how you always saw this place and why it was so beloved by its members. It makes me sad to think how different things are now. I truly hope that the site is able to go back to its roots, that something can be gained from everything that has transpired but I know it will do so without me being a part of it. I will always miss it and to all the members staying I wish you guys the best of luck. Thanks for giving me a creative outlet and a safe haven when we all needed it.

Logging in one final time to say thank you for the contributions you made to this community. Your MGS4 OT is literally the reason I made it my mission to become a member of this forum. I've had so many wonderful memories here and you are one of the primary reasons as to why I fell in love with NeoGAF and its wonderful community. Sir, I hope to see you again in the future.
OrbitalBeard, signing off. Take care, everyone. Hope to bump into many of you in the future.

wow, so coincidentally i looked at the amnt of members there were last week, and how much this weekend has made a dent.
total members is down about 5k.
total was ~200k, and now is ~195k (and dropping, though compared to last night, it seems there are less people requesting bans)
i wonder what the daily member sign in is out of that 200k though. like if theres 200k members and 100k sign in each day 5k isn't much of a dent, but if the daily sign in is like 30k, then 5k is pretty significant
i have hope for the new neogaf still. looking forward to its rebirth and revival

No, its insinuating the maker has some sort of vested interest in trying to help sell the game. Im sure money wasnt passed. Usually. But plenty of gaf posters got invited to community events for games to essentially keep them as sweet free marketers.

Hey Tyler.
I can strongly empathize with your situation, as the events being brought into light are eerily similar to something I went through a couple of years back - hooked up with a girl, did a really shitty thing that stepped all over her boundaries (i.e sexual misconduct on my part), we talked it over, fell in love and had a polyamorous and consensual relationship for several years before everything fell apart in a slurry of jealousy, hysteria and old wounds, leaving her in a state where I had been reduced to nothing but an abuser. She called me out on the abuse I had brought on her and tried her best to make sure that everyone knew what I had done and how much she resented me for it.
I totally get the frustration you're feeling and I empathize with that. I get it.
What I don't get it is this fucking milquetoast response and the total lack of responsibility for your own actions. What the fuck man? How much of a spineless piece of shit do you have to be not to take a single ounce of responsibility for your own actions?
I mean, own up to having fucked up. Take a look at yourself and your own behaviour. Try to ask yourself why these things have happened and what you could have done differently instead of immediately going on the defence and blaming everyone but yourself.
Would even a little bit of humility be too much to ask? How about even acknowledging some part of your own guilt? Even if you find things to be taken out of context, exaggerated or whatever, just own up to your mistakes man. Fuck.
Trying to sweep things under the rug by blaming the OT Community, the political landscape and the alleged mental health of the victim and then putting a gag order on the rest of GAF is just as bad. I want no part of whatever thing you are doing anymore.
If any mods read this, please ban me. I'm done with this shit.

I dunno. If all these people with the immature account suicides are heading there, I'm fine waiting before jumping in.
People like to hype things they enjoy.
Stop. There are far more important things to focus on here than "I don't like what they like."
Good question.

I've been here for over a decade and have never seen anyone suspended for having *an* opinion. Many have been banned for having really ugly or hateful opinions, of course, if that's what you're alluding to.

I can focus on whatever I like. If you dont like it dont reply big boy.
Why are you still here, didnt you make a suicide post?
You've had an account since August and you're a junior, for which bans are permanent.
So uh... when and how were you banned before because you "had an opinion?"
Inspector Cluseau this shit. Smallest big city, we goot this. You sticking it out? Gonna miss NOLAGAF.

Same to you. If you want to act like a child then don't be surprised when you're spoken to like one.
Masterful post. Thank you.
You've had your account for only 2 months and since your a junior any ban would be permanent. So I'm calling BS here.
You can, but I'm an adult so I'm responding to you with logic. You're acting childish.
You also accused one of the most respected posters on the board of being a shill, simply because you don't like having to scroll a little.
No, I didn't.

Nah, it's just outrage culture is pretty ridiculous, i joined the site for games initially then stayed for the OT, I rarely posted in my years here but it was a place I came to get news on tech, games, random stuff.. I stayed away from most if not all political threads, I never really went back and forth with anyone, so really I'd say you couldn't count me as part of a "community" so to speak, I used gaf more as a news aggregator more than anything.. but really.. go ahead and think what you want and make a post about it, because up until now, I never did..

I can just say for me it was done completely out of passion. Video Games were huge stepping stones in my life that pushed me into art, and design. I'm sure like many people on the forum you can trace some of your fondest memories to a dark night and a CQC specialist using his vast array of lethal talents to destroy ketchup bottle after ketchup bottle. No hanging pan, glass of water or hidden frog was safe. I worked on the MGS4 OT for almost a month and I'm sure that seems pathetic and extreme to you and you might be right but it was motivated out of just a shared love for a franchise amongst a group of people I had become quite close to. I was developing the OT in a part of the website that all the mods could see and I remember them coming by and everyone just getting more and more excited. It was truly a labor of love. I went back through and looked at all of it so that I could remember how much this place meant to me. It was nice going through memory lane again to a simpler time when we still raged about exclusives and console dominance and all still loved to hate on Nintendo but... We all understood each other and knew that we all loved this lifestyle. I will miss a lot of you very much. There are names even on the last page that always brought a smile to my face or made me think.
So again I just wanted to say thanks
Orbital, Vire, Ham, Pai, Red and so many others. Thanks for the love. I'm sure we will stay in touch.
