The possible end of Neogaf?

bit odd to see the GD thread someone started being closed, surely this is a discussion about a forum about games being shut down rather than a discussion about games ergo arguably more at home in GD than in this forum but meh...

Apologies, that was me - I meant to move this one yesterday, but was on my mobile and got sidetracked :(

frankly it sounds like a good thing in some ways if the allegations are true as people aren't prepared to tolerate stuff like that, then again if those mods who were a problem then go and start some new forum the general issues people seem to have had re: being banned for nonsense reasons will still be there

perhaps the current owner can sell the place on, a new team can be put in place etc.. regardless of people who don't like it for whatever reasons (SJW mods/random banning of posters etc..) it is a big resource and would be a shame for it to go

I wasn't sure whether to place it in GD or the gaming section. As it was gaming related. But all fixed now.

You realise most gaming news stories on the internet use to cite NeoGaf as the source right? Finding all the latest gaming news all in one place was definitely one of the main benefits of that site.

All my usual gaming sites news feeds are still just fine. I think your hamming up Neogafs relevance here.

I hate it when gaming websites get political. I don't care if they are left wing, right wing or centre just leave politics out of gaming. If I want to discuss politics I'll go to a forum that is meant for the subject.

But then games themselves these days are starting to get political which really winds me up. Gah.

Politics is through everything I’m afraid. :(
 
Most of the rational posters have just migrated to The Bore, I signed up the day I was banned but was never approved. Signed up again though. You won't get banned due to your political leanings just don't be overtly racist.

But it is OK to be a little racist?

No there wasn't. There were so little in the way of decent discussion because it was under heavy-handed moderation that gave out bans like confetti if they even had a hunch you were deviating from their carefully constructed yet brittle narrative, that's why pretty much the entire internet is celebrating the demise of such a toxic cesspool.

That doesn't sound all that different from this place.

Think his reply had a lot to do with it or lack of reply. He said it statement would be coming but nothing.

Also apparently he tried to convince the mods (this is not confirmed) that he, the girl and boyfriend were part of a sex cult or something silly.

Anyhow even the allegations, imo, aren't exactly anything crazy. He made a move on a chick he was partying with alone in another city, drinking and sharing a hotel room with and got rejected, left and didn't pursue it any further. Yea walking in naked into a shower, if true, is a bit more on the extreme end of making a move but with alcohol i can picture somebody thinking it was a baller move and the chick was into him etc.

I mean having a boyfriend doesn't mean much, people cheat all the time and when drunk people get their wires crossed. She's saying she was sexually assaulted.... because a guy thought she was throwing signals, went to a city, got drunk went back to seemingly their hotel room(rather than rooms) and said she was getting naked... it's not out of this world crazy to think something is going on. Sexual assault is he gets in the shower, she says no and he starts grabbing her. Sexual assault is not crossed wires, her saying no and him getting out of the shower doing nothing at all to her. Then imagine you take a trip to another city and go drinking, that happens... for which two people on earth would that not end up awkward, if that happened to me I'd be embarrassed as hell and would absolutely avoid talking to her. Her take is, she was sexually assaulted but kept trying to talk to him and was upset he wouldn't act normally with her? Who gets 'sexually assaulted' then hangs around with her assaulter long enough to get upset he's not talking to her.

The addition of she was assaulted 4 times in 2 blocks at the end kinda screams that this is a SJW who if someone looks at her it's assault. The thing I can't stand about people like her is she makes it that much worse for real victims, people who have actually been sexually assaulted and need help are drowned out by these idiots who claim someone looking at them is sexual assault. Imagine going to a victim support group, you've been brutally raped or fired for not screwing your boss and someone there is acting more upset than you because someone wolf whistled her on the street.

I don't know, at that point I simply can't take that allegation seriously, but if there is one person with an accusation like that, then another 10 people find equally daft things to call assault, then you have everyone reacting as if that story is legitimate assault.

Maybe he's a scumbag, I don't know anywhere near enough about him or the situation to know there aren't 10 real victims, but that account is not one of sexual assault, but a guy who thought their relationship was going one way, it went another and he backed off without doing anything at all.
