The score N-E gave would probably get us banned all over again.

I'm getting pretty sick of it to the point where I think whats the point of even playing anymore? While Nintendo don't seem to be as bad as other companies, stuff like the Xenoblade and Fire Emblem se

The site is back up, complete with Evilores statement:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1452075

So they've killed off the off topic section? Interesting move but one that I can totally understand. A lot of the toxicity came from that side of the boards, withe members being singled out if they didn't agree with the masses.

There are still people cropping up in the gaming section and suicide posting. It's going to be a while before the whole thing settles down. I'll be keeping my eye on Reset Era when it launches to see how things go over there.

OK, I take back everything I said about the Mods on this forum.

Won't somebody please save us from Monday12!

I would be my secret mod powers were taken away from me when we changed to this new forum. Saying that, I wouldn't know how to ban someone with this new setup anyway. :D

TBH, I’m pretty sure that the site is done for, regardless of Evilore’s efforts to bring it back online.

 

Nobody reputable is gonna touch it with a 50 foot pole now, the moderating team is gone (and won’t come back) and the community that’ll be on there will basically be total toxic sludge. It’s a total PR disaster, regardless of what he says and does now.

 

It’s done.

You can see just how many people have left by how slow the board is moving. Many seem to be either setting up discords or just waiting for an alternative forum to pop up.

Is this the guy who was found out to be a Nazi?

Milo? nope it was some older bloke if I'm remembering right....I'll see if I can find the article since off topic is gone as a source

Can't find a source but remember it was some older professor, seem to think he got mobbed outside after being prevented from speaking but he stayed and debated with the protestors outside despite some just shouting abuse. Whilst I didn't necessarily agree with what he said, he made very clear concise polite arguments and discussions with the protestors and came across very well, on the flip side the protestors seemed completely childish, unreasonable and unwilling to listen to anything outside of their world view.

That said even a 'Nazi'* should be allowed to speak, but that freedom of speech works two ways and does not exclude them from criticism or legitimise their view,  the crowd/attendees have a right to debate and prove them wrong, catch them in their misconceptions and potentially change views - completely excluding people like that and making a massive deal about them serves to empower and embolden their followers who see it as justification for their actions and vindication that everyone who disagrees cannot argue against them so resort to censorship, more than anyone else I feel they need to be challenged in public forum and allowed to tie themselves up in their idiocy and not give them the pleasure of the vindication - Donald Trump capitalised on this and shows the danger of just vilifying a person/viewpoint . That or treat them like some amazing protestors do with the Westboro Baptist Church, make a peaceful sarcastic counter protest showing them up for the bigots they are.

 

*There are no true Nazi's these days only ridiculous wannabe's who are White Supremacists but pretend they are SS, hitlers gonna have a second coming etc

I think I recall that professor. He was arguing against gender neutral pronouns being legislated for use in a collegiate setting.

Yeah I managed to get in during the verified registration blocks last night. Forum seems good so far.

Where was the heads up, dude? :(  EDIT: Never mind. Jimbob has explained it. 

Saying that, i'm not sure if i'll sign up. I was a member of Gaf for years but hardly posted. It was too hard to get a decent conversation going on there due to the sheer amount of people talking at the same time.

I can't work out how to sign up there, only log in?

They stopped the registration process and will be doing it in waves.

It's an invite only sign-up at the moment, there are a few terms to get an invite.  One of them is you are not banned at the Gaf (basically, so they can confirm you as former Gaf) and/or you are part of the Discord group (verified that way).  That way, you get an invite to sign up

Registration works in waves, you'll have to keep your ear to the ground, keep checking and be patient.

Anybody got any ideas regarding getting an email address I can use? I have no idea what they're looking for, to be quite honest.

I've never bothered with Discord and now feel very out of the loop.

Gaf is on fire right now, people are openly being offensive and threads discussing anything are quickly locked with people showing displeasure at the situation being banned.

I'm not one to shitpost for a permaban on Gaf so I might just stop posting and let my account die.

Still it was nice to have a PM from Excelsiorlef after saying I'd miss them and others.

I'll be patiently awaiting a way into ResetEra, might even not use Agent Gibbs and go with my preferred user name of ChrisP8Three

The place seems to be done at this point. Most of the gaming news is happening over on ResetEra and the layout is pretty much the same as Gaf. Once it it opens the doors to everyone who wants to join I can't see Gaf lasting very long.

Looks like ResetEra are opening registrations in blocks to avoid people flooding in. The discord channel I use is planning on letting people know when it opens again so if I see it I'll post it here. Same as NeoGaf as well you have to have a non-free email address to register with. Thankfully they didnt require that last night for us verified folk :p
