Support NeoGAF

[Niwa]

We are the hardcore!

Woohoo!

 

[Dennis]

Someday I will be a true member of GAF. Someday.

Just post more and it will happen soon enough.

 

[Celegus]

Ye dern kids, with yer Tamagootchis and yer neogafs! Buncha hooligans!

 

[antitrop]

I think you'll find that NeoGAF is actually harder-than hardcore.

And I'm so glad this place exists.

 

[Syph Medwes]

They interviewed EviLore and didn't even ask about his tag? For shame

 

[Az]

With the popularity the juniors are going to get worse, but the mods have been doing a fairly decent job at cleaning up.

 

[plagiarize]

Until you say you dont like Resident Evil 4

Spoiler

i kid

hey I've never been banned for posts about RE4. my last ban was for calling someone a 'fucking idiot' because they were insisting that the high resolution texture pack that Crytek put out for Crysis 2 were just upscales of the original textures.

I said something like 'I don't make a habit of directly insulting people, but I'm directly insulting you. You are a fucking idiot.'

I had zero complaints about being banned. I stepped over the line and my punishment was just.

but yeah, if you don't like RE4, YOU CRAZY MANG.

 

[devonraynor]

7 figures..
god damn thats a guy of principals!
/bow

 

[RedAssedApe]

evillore is a real person and has a name...mind blown.

 

[NewFresh]

Are mods paid?

They pay Evilore.

 

[p3tran]

More than you've had hot dinners

is it evi-lore or evil ore?

 

[Bit-Bit]

I was linked to GAF when I was the on the Planet Gamecube boards. It was a thread about Wind Waker and how much ya'll hated the look.

LOOK WHO'S LAUGHING NOW.

Man, that was back in 2000.

13 years I've dedicated my internet time to you guys. GAF and RSS feeds are the only two websites I ever visit anymore.

 

[arts&crafts]

What about cold dinners?

 

[donny2112]

is it evi-lore or evil ore?

EviLore

Pretty straightforward, when you capitalize correctly.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

GAF hivemind

Edge would be banned for this on GAf.

 

[evilromero]

Interesting. What is old Dyack up to?

 

[ZealousD]

"Adam Orth’s apparent departure from Microsoft last night might just be NeoGAF’s defining moment, for better or worse."

No, it isn't.

For Adam Orth, the day NeoGAF found his Twitter posts was the biggest day of his life.

For NeoGAF, it was Tuesday.

 

[jim2point0]

EviLore

Pretty straightforward, when you capitalize correctly.

I prefer to think of him as Evil Ore.

Like some malicious chunk of manganese.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

The videogames' world does not turn anymore...


... Now it's move by Dj GAF

 

[Cornbread78]

Thank you Edge for more empowerment for these minions of videogamer evil...

 

[i-Lo]

GAF has an OT?

Oh right, now I remember. That is where I go to get banned >:|

OT is the place where sometimes the truly ugly side of individuals are exposed. It is the filter to weed out the truly undesirables.

 

[Clockblockers]

Thanks for protecting NHL-Gaf!

I'll second that, though I'm a lurker I enjoy reading the comments while I'm watching a game

 

[eso76]

What happens when neogaf is bought ? Money shared between members ?

 

[Carpe Diem]

After reading the full article, his decisions displayed from such as young age, reaffirms my decision to join the GAF! Despite not being the 'hardest of hardcore'.

 

[Haly]

Evilore: (laughs)

 

[gravitybear]

honestly the fact that EviLore has received offers for NeoGAF demonstrates the lack of insight those commercial entities have into NeoGAF.

Seriously, how many of you would stick around if this place was bought out by a corporate overlord interested only in monetizing the site?

Idea:

EviLore, sell it, make bank, start new site, all of GAF migrates. You just owned the man.

 

[Nibel]

GAF - the N stands for 'Danger', bitches

 

[Danthrax]

Enough influence to even have accidents or fake information be taken as gaming news.

Those who remember the MGS: Triology stuff would know, and I'm pretty sure there's other instances.

Orange Ocelot Soda!

GAF has an OT?

Pretty much.

No one went to Gaming-Age for the site though. No one even knew it had a front page!

Yeah, everyone bookmarked the forum and not the front page.

 

[BosSin]

I acquire a steaming hot pile of Evil Ore every time I sit on the toilet

Any contract from a competent buyer would include a non-compete clause keeping him from building a new site.

Unlimited money cheat code.

Pretty sure that most contracts have a non-compete type clause in them.

 

[Necron]

Glad to be part of it. It's nice to see Edge dedicate an article to NeoGAF and its community.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Oh,wow.

 

[Corto]

I'm taken aback by this article. I can't believe that we're painted as a pit of vipers, essentially. Have they not looked at any other forums with this kind of membership? NeoGAF is incredibly accepting in comparison as far as I'm concerned.

Absolutely. There's a zero threshold to bullshit and arrogance from whoever but candid, straightforward industry people/companies have a large support base in here. There seems to be a concerted effort to paint NeoGAF as a bloodthirsty herd (I'm rather curious to watch GT videos about NeoGAF). I understand that on the surface it could be perceived as that, but to someone that visits regularly and even participates it should be clear that is nothing of the sort.

 

[ZealousD]

I was referencing the Street fighter movie.

 

[gravitybear]

obviously you're right, but where would we all go if that happened? I sure as shit wouldnt hang around to be monetized. reddit /r/gaming is cool and all, I guess, but gaming memes and "look what I found" posts get old pretty fast.

 

[Ledsen]

They didn't even talk about the OT, where some really serious shit goes down.

I still remember that guy who provided evidence that he was the guy in those insanely popular "Hannah" amateur porn videos and told the whole story behind it. Now THAT'S breaking news.

 

[Nafai1123]

RealGAF

 

[Hex]

One nation, under EviLore

 

[antitrop]

I prefer to think of him as Evil Ore.

Like some malicious chunk of manganese.

That's how I pronounce it and never even thought twice about it until this thread.

 

[schwabdizzle]

There goes a shit ton of Edge's subscriptions.

 

[Revven]

Still waiting on the game trailers documentary.

Same. That'll bring a huge explosion to GAF lol.

 

[LiK]

Still waiting on the game trailers documentary.

Didja get an interview request?

 

[EviLore]

Still waiting on the game trailers documentary.

The camera crew is coming to my apartment tomorrow. Which means that I should probably tidy up right about now ;b

“NeoGAF’s membership includes thousands of press and industry accounts, but among those with a negative attitude toward the enthusiast press, it comes down to the sentiment that it is primarily a credulous PR arm of the video game publishers,” says Malka.[...]
However much one might disagree with this – and we do in the strongest possible terms [...]

You don't say. >_>
