I did this. Be gentle.
What will Pachter say?

Well, that's that! Hope you all like it all as a complete series. I'm definitely looking into more pieces like this for more gaming communities, and I'd love to return to some of the aspects of GAF I never got to touch on one day. There was a lot of my conversations with Evilore left on the cutting room floor, and parts of it I deliberately left so as not to overlap too much with GT TV's efforts.
It was good fun to be GAF's historical scribe for a little bit! A nice pace-change from writing endless previews/reviews/etc.
Great story man. Very interesting and enjoyable read from someone who knew nothing about the site until couple years ago when a friend from work got me coming to and later joining the site.
Can't wait to see what the GTTV story is going to have after seeing and reading that.
GAF pulled in $2000 back in '04, huh.
Imagine what it could pull in now in the age of Kickstarter :0
Done and done.It'd be good if a mod could edit the OP to signal part 3!
Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed it.
RE GTTV - to be clear, I haven't seen it and don't know precisely what is in it, but spoke to a couple of people - Evilore included - about what kind of paths they'd be pursuing with interviewees and decided to tailor this a little bit differently. This is really the story of NeoGAF in the words of its owner, and then a look at the cogs and stresses of running the place for him, where it seems GTTV is looking more widely at "what is NeoGAF to the industry at large" and whatnot. That's what I've been led to believe, anyway. So I'm guessing you'll get something different out of that. If all goes well, this will end up being a nice unofficial companion piece to the GT doc.
On average, I get I think I would say a buy-out offer on average every two weeks. Ive been thinking wed run out of corporations, but maybe not.

GAF isn't a pit.
It's a ladder.

I heard this when I read the title:
GAF isn't a pit.
It's a ladder.
Great final piece. $5 million. 5 million dollars. Goddamn!

Holy Shit. $5 Million? I don't know if I have the strength to resist such offer like Evilore did.
