uh. i mean it's likely there are two people with the same name but...

 

[Spaced Harrier]

Amir0x appears to have been jailed for possession of child porn.

Fucking hell

 

[dankir]

Because it's super embarrassing to have a former mod turn out to be a pedo.

Yo what?


Holy moly.........

 

[Redd]

Damn. Well now I need to play some videogames to clear my head. If this is true then damn.

 

[Realeza]

And have been deleting any trace of it.

What?

 

[Poor GRIMES]

I need the tea on this, it's not okay to be shoving this all under the rug when he was part of our community. The thread was archived on Twitter too. This'll be a nightmare if GAF tries to handwave and delete this.

 

[Persona7]

That could be a different chris goldberg tho, especially since he was posting recently

Photo, name and apparently location match so it seems unlikely.

Who are the liars in the comments section of that story. Real Internet warriors.

 

[msdstc]

What?

On the forum threads with any mention are being locked and whipe right now.

 

[CRS]

The elephant in this room is massive

do young elephants get really big?

 

[Fat4all]

it wasn't even confirmed to be him

if it wasn't it was slanderous

 

[Psychoward]

There's a comment on the police record website mentioning that GAF had something like this happen before. What is the context of that comment?

Probably a troll

This makes it look really bad for the site. Guy is protected for years from punishment for shitting on other members, stealing from other members, and beating his mother. Turns out to be a pedophile? More nepotism.

Any proof of any of the latter stuff starting at stealing from other members?

 

[Sami+]

I really really really hope it wasn't him :/

 

[wwm0nkey]

Saw the other thread before it was deleted (seriously don't try to sweep this under the rug mods) and what the fuck.

 

[Maximo]

An example of Amirox lowkey trying to humanize pedophiles as normal.

People against vaccinations are basically the dumbest ppl alive

I can think of dumber people...

 

[Dynomutt]

It should definitely be acknowledged because we don't need threads out here gossiping about shit.

But if mods knew about this and did nothing about it...Yikes.

Damage is done...

There’s a forum called Neogaf that is a sleeper cell for pedophiles that the FBI needs to look into. Really scary stuff.

 

[Jakeh111]

Same name and same face too.

I didn't know his history well enough to know his face but man thats crazy.

 

[Syder]

Shocked this hasn't been locked yet.

We need some form of official communication from the mod team.

 

[Pastry]

it wasn't even confirmed to be him

Therein lies the problem and why the first thread was deleted

 

[Drencrom]

Pedophiles injure their victims in a way that lasts a lifetime. I am not sure why I should care that they have to be on a list that constitutes punishment "lasting for a lifetime."

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=238553172&postcount=62

I hope he stands by this statement

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

This all appears to be true. He was obviously a piece of shit but it seems I underestimated how much.

 

[Hex]

What is his story? Why is he no longer a mod anymore?

He hasn't been a mod in like 4 years due to some stupidity with personal life choices and some questions if I remember correctly about money people sent to help with something.
The mods here and management have nothing to answer for, Am was just another poster for years.
Evil0re and other mods never had any problem banning him when he got stupid.

But the point is, this also can not be ignored.
But all that is merited is a "Yep, that's him move on"

 

[Yaboosh]

Therein lies the problem and why the first thread was deleted

Yep. Deleting this one is trickier.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Edited because I didn't want to slander any mods, but there seriously has to be a statement on this. Did anyone on GAF staff know about this before his arrest?

 

[Puck Beaverton]

oh boy

 

[JB1981]

http://www.poconorecord.com/news/20170628/tobyhanna-man-charged-in-child-porn-case

Holy shit

 

[Sami+]

Who are the liars in the comments section of that story. Real Internet warriors.

honestly I just find the mental picture of some FBI dude at his desk reading GAF all day really fucking funny

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Probably a troll

Thanks.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

"He didn't know it was illegal" - I am at a loss for words.

 

[msdstc]

Damage is done...

That's a crap narrative that's existed for a while. This is a terrible look though with how it's being handled.

 

[D4Danger]

http://www.poconorecord.com/news/20170628/tobyhanna-man-charged-in-child-porn-case

I'm no law talking guy but I'm pretty sure going with "I don't think it's a crime" is a bad defence.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Ouch. I guess it's true.

 

[GulAtiCa]

holy shit.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

There's a comment on the police record website mentioning that GAF had something like this happen before. What is the context of that comment?

A mod left GAF for saying that victims of child rape were too irrational to debate pedophiles' place in society. He said this to a victim of child rape.

He was not a pedophile as far as I know.

 

[phanphare]

damn, that's fucked up

Were you not here during the Democratic Primaries?

Spoiler

And I say that as a staunch (former) Hillary supporter

what's the story there?

 

[Dash_Riprock]

An example of Amirox lowkey trying to humanize pedophiles as normal.

JFC

 

[Speevy]

Therein lies the problem and why the first thread was deleted

It's him. There's a point at which "allegedly" becomes pretty fucking obviously true, and we're past it.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

"This guy used to be a moderator at this gaming forum: http://www.neogaf.com/ under the name "Amir0x" and from what I've heard they have a history with this sort of thing, that place should be shut down to protect the kids in my opinion."


Alright, which one of you was this lol.

this sounds like a banned member who knew his name and/or saw the thread and is using this chance to shit post.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Edited because I didn't want to slander any mods, but there seriously has to be a statement on this. Did anyone on GAF staff know about this before his arrest?

I don't understand how you're making that leap?

 

[tuxfool]

A mod left GAF for saying that victims of child rape were too irrational to debate pedophiles' place in society. He said this to a victim of child rape.

He was not a pedophile as far as I know.

You didn't see the other stuff...

 

[Zephyrous]

Looks like he was banned recently too?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

http://www.poconorecord.com/news/20170628/tobyhanna-man-charged-in-child-porn-case

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

I... I need a break from GAF today. This is too real for me.

 

[Pastry]

In all honesty Evilore is probably talking to corporate counsel about a statement at this point (I'm going to assume GAF has a lawyer on retainer)

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I understand if a statement's being prepared, but uh deleting threads about it without even a ModBot or some kind of post saying "We're going to address the situation" makes it look a thousand times worse

 

[norm9]

honestly I just find the mental picture of some FBI dude at his desk reading GAF all day really fucking funny

Fbi gonna use his official email to get approved so he can answer definitively how to wipe your butt.

 

[doctorcdcs]

To be fair, a steam profile and a forum post that contain a name can't really be used as examples that amir0x and the suspect are one and the same.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Maybe he should be de-nutted, too.

Hard to laugh at something involving pedos but uh, LOL.

 

[Nether!]

Isn't there some unstated rule (not in the ToS) about posting information about members from outside NeoGAF (or even their post history from the site)?
That's probably why it was deleted. Although, if it is a rule, I've seen it treated pretty inconsistently.

 

[Hatty]

hey speaking of creepy pedophile topics, i remember there was a movie being made where there is explicit sex/rape scenes featuring a teenager (although the actress is really 19 or so, and I think she's from some South American/spanish country). wasn't more than half a year ago I read about this story, so the movie has to be fairly new or not out yet.

Anyway this actress was REAAAALLY hot but I forgot her name if anyone can find her name for me I will pay you with a smile.

lol

 

[Albino_Yeti]

Looks like the Reddit jailbait fiasco has returned, but this time Gaf takes the hit.
