I think Miktar at least deserves a tag if he had the balls to post in this thread.

Agreed. It was a really courageous thing he did. I'd even go so far as to say he'd have to have dragon balls to post like he did in here.

Can't GAF just prop you up, you know, Proxy Wars and such. I don't want to go back to "Girl Problems" and "GTA4 on Wii!!11" topics.

Did you just accuse him without ANY KIND OF EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER ?

I admit this other then the first post this is the only one in the thread I have read. This is about as bad as accusing some one of breathing air or looking at porn on the internet. :lol

Can I be of Assistance?

I met the editor of Nag Magazine in Singapore last month at an EA press event. He was drunk most of the time and didn't turn up to the actual interview/preview thing because he started drinking as soon as he got there.

I won't give his email but his name is James Francis and the company that prints the magazine is tidemedia.co.za and I hear that they like to keep their first and last name seperate with punctuation.

:lol
The plot thickens...

modeling the forums after NeoGAF is one thing, its all the copied material that seems to be the annoyance.

Hmm, maybe. I can't lie, I think it's kinda funny feathers are being ruffled because of this, because they shouldn't be.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery & obviously it's an ex-Gaffer who appreciated the GAF layout and set up. relax just ask him to change the words up a bit and enjoy that GAF has left a positive impact on the guy and let it be.

It's no big deal and besides all this is going to do is give his forum a huge spike in hits and also new members migrating from GAF, esp ones that are banned or will be soon. (hopefully not me , lol)

Hi. James Francis retired from our publication after that event. The editor is now Michael James.

So I go for lunch and come back to this fucking furry shit. WHERE DO ALL THESE FURRY FUCKERS COME FROM? I never was aware of them until I visited GAF and the chans.

Holy shit I just saw this. Weird, I wonder if Snah, TJ Hooker, and Mike Warrior are there.

If Evander ever joined there, he would probably rule the post count in about a day.

Yeah, I modelled those forums (our little corner here in South Africa) after NeoGAF, which has been the inspiration for me to even try and have a gaming forum around these parts again.

I appreciated how NeoGAF does things, and wanted to emulate that.

I'm sorry if I ripped NeoGAF off, and I'm willing to make any changes that'd satisfy the NeoGAF admins.

You mean the entire forum?

So basically, just remove the forums entirely. You can keep the signatures, though.
 
I don't think the NAG forums have ever claimed to NOT been inspired by / copied from NeoGAF. It's pretty obvious this one of the best and most popular gaming forums on the net. Why wouldn't a gaming magazine want to copy a format that works for its own community?

But it's not an exact copy. For instance, I don't think I've seen a thread on there with nearly as much hate and immature bashing as this one. So guess GAF's always gonna win out in that category.
