I know I've been an asshat but holy shit the power trips mods have had here are ridiculous, even in Gaming.Well Besada is gone right? So it's definitely not going to get worse. May he find a peaceful land with all the gravy-soaked Twinkies his bitter clogged heart desires.
Who were you there?This whole shutting-down shit almost made me go back to gamespot. Almost.
The modbot post makes a lot of sense.
I was hoping that by not locking this thread that any grievences or shitposting woukd have been provided as direct responses. Unfortunately it seems as though that won't happen and people are already mucking up the reast of the forum.
Sad.
The moderators will certainly be busy for a while.
Neogaf had a gaming side?
Totally agreed.Hey bud? You're a fucking coward, as evidenced by displacing or erasing communities with zero notice. Mental Health thread, trans thread, LGBT threads, other minority threads where people may have only had each other as a support system.
But hey, gotta protect that ego right? Peace.
Holy shit. Off-Topic is nuked?
I can't believe this. That IS GAF for me.
edit: ok, it's temporary?
ResetEra members already got doxxed.Yup, it will die down once some of them go over to that new site though, thankfully.
Conservative views, in Donald Trump's America? HahahhahahahhahahahhaahahahahahahahahahshahsYour personal business is your personal business, and I'm happy to focus on gaming again and leave your personal life out of the spotlight. However, if you don't plan on making a strong, concerted effort to admit to and quash the left-leaning group think that absolutely ruined Gaf, then I'll be happy to give up my account and move on.
No more hurt feelings and agenda pushing. No politics in OT is fine, but if there is a legitimate gaming related discussion we should absolutely be free to espouse conservative views and opinions without fear of the banhammer. Your move.
So no sports??

The future of NeoGAF will be a return to what many of us have come here for, a place where we can gather together and enjoy our shared hobby of video games. For a short time, Off-Topic Discussion and Off-Topic Community will be closed so that we can rediscover that. We'll be starting with a clean slate when they come back. However, the focus will be on the many other hobbies we may have like TV, movies, anime, writing, music, etc. Political and social discourse will not be allowed in the new Off-Topic. Those types of discussions greatly added to the harsh and unwelcoming atmosphere of Off-Topic, which pushed many users away.
Moderation will also see changes. Over the years, moderators changed from simply people who made sure discussion stay civil into personalities. It's because of that, many were targeted for harassment and other things. This shouldn't be happening to them. We've taken action to protect these people by making moderation anonymous. There will be no more red-names that single them out nor will there be a list of who is one.
Is this really how you're going to play this? Try to imply that Off-Topic is toxic and that you're beyond reproach despite all of this evidence showing you have a behavior problem towards women? Fuck off dude, OT is the reason we had people like Stinkles in this community. Without it NeoGAF is just like every other garbage gaming discussion on the internet.
