Whether the allegations against the owner are true or not, it may have done irreparable damage to the site.
The most importanr thing about GAF, IMO, was our ability to conversate directly with folks like Stinkles, ThomasMahler, etc. Industry guys willing to speak directly to their fans, to us.
But industry folks cannot afford the negative publicity that would ensue from "associating" with this site now, I fear. I dunno, we will see, but just chattjng with other gamers about gaming isnt enough to sustain it I feel. If we lose the industry folks, we lose the essence of what made GAF what it was.
Only time will tell. I dont think anyone should be shit on just for posting on a site, regardless of what IRL stuff the owner of said site is or isnt involved in.
I mean hell our country is being run by a lunatic. That doesnt make all Americans lunatics. (Well, we kinda are now that I think about it.)
Will keep watching and see how this all pans out.
