So should we brace ourselves for a possible attack by Russian hackers?

 

[texhnolyze]

That, and I had no idea GAF was so big it could even register on something like this

This. I always thought GAF is a niche community in the Internet.

 

[Debirudog]

Well, developers and big video game publishers acknowledge GAF.

 

[Aaronology]

Has anyone figured out how this is possible? I lurk in OT all the time and I don't think I've ever seen a link to her site. Even if people talk about her and her campaign a lot they aren't linking to her actual official website.

Was there a widely posted hotlinked image or something?

This confuses me as well. Banned Goose called me "one of the biggest Hillary fanboys on the board" and I've never linked or seen linked her site.

It's an amusing story, at least.

I feel important now.

lol

i linked to her policies page a few times.

This is exactly what makes me concerned when GAF gets super over confident that Hilldawg will win. This community is incredibly high-minded and insular - and, I love this community, but it's important we recognize our characteristics.

I take GAF being confident Hillary will win like I take Drudge being confident Trump will. People will cite polls and make surface-level logical arguments, but when you're collectively in the tank, objectivity is a pipe dream.

I get my political discussions elsewhere. Primary season was very enlightening.

It's because you guys bought all those Hillary drinking glasses

 

[HStallion]

Clinton is going to pull a PS vita out of her purse when she has some down time and she will do the Banderas when she wins.

 

[chaobreaker]

She thinks BOOM, she put in the hoop like SLAM

Whaaa

How did I never know about this?

 

[Aaronology]

I just stuck to the buttons, tyvm.

They're so fashionable.

 

[Earthstrike]

As funny as a find this, isn't it funny how the net result of a moderation team that bans racists and people who can't argue well (In the past people could be banned for poor arguing on gaming side) led to a very liberal discussion board. I can't help but wonder why...

 

[Earthstrike]

Most of the Fox News demo can't even use their browser because there's all these gosh darn Yahoo bars in their internet and their grandkids haven't come over to fix it

Fix it? They like dem dere Yahoo toolbars.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Prez of the free world shaking hands with the most powerful man in america..

 

[thepotatoman]

Makes sense. All two times that I've been to HillaryClinton.com, it was because someone here linked to her store.

We just want to make sure you're prepared to meet election day with your Hillary mug, chill out at the polling places with your Chillery koozie, and celebrate with your Hillary champaign glasses as the results come in.

 

[BearFlexington]

Sounds about right.

 

[Odrion]

You can't make this stuff up.

 

[GalacticAE]

is that a wax figure evilore?

 

[Particle Physicist]

not sure why they call this a gaming forum. Strange.

This data is all coming from SimilarWeb.com. Look at their logo and you'll understand what's going on...

..... uh

:O

90% of which are from Adam.

What a deviously vapid "both sides" argument. There is a considerable difference between people currently having confidence in a Hillary win versus people like Drudge having confidence in a Trump win. You can't call polling science superficial, as presidential polling has proven remarkably accurate for as long as you've been alive. You can't pretend comprehending the overwhelming historical precedence for the state of this race is "surface-level logic" either.

There is no actual alternative argument either. You can pretend the race is close and pretend that all relevant data doesn't suggest what people here predict, because the site is "in the tank." Just like we were "in the tank" for Hillary over Bernie during the primaries, and she still won - because, ya know, facts. Or just like we were "in the tank" for Obama over Romney and he still won (and Hillary is doing better than he was in 2012 at this point in time) because ya know, also facts.

It's quite a distinction between pretending to have an objective knowledge over which political perspective is right versus grasping the gravity of the evidence before us for who will win. Just because you don't like the objectivity of the source quoting the indisputable evidence does not actually change the evidence, no matter how much one prays to their deities of choice. As if getting your political discussion elsewhere (which, by the way, clearly isn't true, since you're participating in political discussion here right now) changes the state of the facts. (It doesn't.)

 

[wachie]

Gaffers for Trump must be livid. Dozens of 'em.

 

[besada]

is that a wax figure evilore?

No, that's the real Evilore.

 

[strafer]

Woah.

How was the primary session in any way evidence of gaf making delusional predictions due to collectively being 'in the tank'?

Gaf said Hillary would win primaries overwhelmingly; she won the primaries overwhelmingly.

Gaf said Trump would win long before most pundits did; Trump won.

I really do have to meet this GAF person sometime.

GAF is not a person but a hive, with its consciousness connected through one central mother host named Tyler. Come on folks this is on wikipedia.

 

[Am_I_Evil]

this is amazing lol

 

[NikonShots]

Well shit.....never thought of that.

Also claps after meals.

Yup. GAF actually has some of the most rational discussions and views of politics I have seen anywhere. In general we are close to right on most things. Typically if people get too far off the facts they get called out for it, whether they are shilling too hard or not.

Is it circumcised or uncircumcised?

Has someone done a Evilore borg photoshop yet?

neogaf.com has been dethroned.

Nooooooooo!!!

I think I know the reason why.

 

[Iksenpets]

I'm kind of sad that no other media picked up on the weird NeoGAF factoid in the Vice article and went and wrote a big profile piece about NeoGAF, the most pro-Hillary corner of the Internet.
