The one thing I liked about GAF was their nice organized OT threads. Along with other quite informative threads like the TV, PSpro enhanced games, X1X enhanced games lists, upcoming games etc. Which is kind of missing from a forum and would be nice to have somewhere. 

What if NGG did something similar with threads like that, wouldn't that be nice?

The point is that both sides regularly go apeshit for basically nothing or treat a decision as some attack on them. Which is the best way to make sure people tune out and not give a shit. And yes, companies will censor titles from time to time for various reasons and it sucks. That still doesn't make it some grand SJW conspiracy.

Man just forget about it. These types don't listen to anything outside their confirmation bias.

The mods consider it on topic since it is a huge news story in the GAMING industry. In fact, mods have posted IN THIS THREAD.

So please, stop pretending it's off topic. You are wrong.

They had this coming for all of the pointless bans, among other things. I don't think I've seen many people even half as full of it as EviLore. =/

Not to mention the REASONS for some bans. I made two accounts on there, one of them being banned because I said I *used* to have a hacked Wii, and another because I said I didn't think having child porn on one's hard drive explicitly meant they were THE offender. It's like... why have a dissenting opinion?

The sad thing is, I've heard of even STUPIDER reasons for bans than mine. I can't even.

The "fucking" point is that one day Nintendo makes a decision and people claim they're SJW shills. The next day they make another decision and they're disrespecting PoC, gay people, etc. AKA: both sides are just complaining about some concerted effort from the other to ruin things using the same company to try to prove their point which just shows how dumb the argument is in the first place.

Remember the SJW backlash against Nintendo was so great that they literally had to apologize in the public sphere about it. I forget if it was Reggie or Bill Trinen that actually made a video explaining what was going on.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nintendo-apologizes-after-same-sex-controversy-over-tomodachi-life-game/

The point is that both sides regularly go apeshit for basically nothing or treat a decision as some attack on them. Which is the best way to make sure people tune out and not give a shit. And yes, companies will censor titles from time to time for various reasons and it sucks. That still doesn't make it some grand SJW conspiracy. 9 times out of 10 the "SJWs" have zero input in any localization changes yet every time there's even the slightest change it's all some secret culture war attack. Even with Fire Emblem Fates where despite having some legit gripes, many of the changes in that game were made so that the script didn't read like it was written by Microsoft Text-to-Speech.


How dense are you?

You keep going on "both side trying to win political points" but there's no "both sides". Wanting no fucking censorship and politics to get out of their shit is not really a "political side".

Not just that, but only one side was able to get Nintendo to apologies. We will never get Nintendo to apologize for censorship. You're trying to push this Tomodachi Life story so goddamn hard but only an idiot would buy your angle, seriously.

The point is that both sides regularly go apeshit for basically nothing


Once again, there is actual censorship and removed content, it is not nothing

Even with Fire Emblem Fates where despite having some legit gripes, many of the changes in that game were made so that the script didn't read like it was written by Microsoft Text-to-Speech.


Lol, don't try to brush it off like it was nothing. Not only Soleil's route dialogue was changed but many others. IIRC they also removed a shitload of in-game universe political context too.

Anyways, we have provably have some SJW working on localization in NoA, actually affecting some part of a game, and even if you could ignore that and brush it off to "Well, it's business measures so they can make the most cash", once again:

https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2017/06/nintendo-localizers-now-work-with-japanese-devs-to-censor-games-for-western-culture/33309/

Reggie mentioning the “cultural relevance” (See: IDGA)


Basically even if you could brush it off to "business measure", it seems this kinda shit is happening because of the current garbage political climate.

The current garbage climate basically spearheaded but journos, and no thanks to gaming journos either.

Still very relevant:


Stop being such an SJW apologist Kaitouace. Your attempt to appear "neutral" and blaming "both sides" are not fucking working.

Yeah whatever you say. GalGun 2 was just announced for the Switch but I'm sure the SJW agenda will eliminate that game from existence any minute now. It's not worth the energy at this point arguing about something that ultimately will have no real impact on anything one way or the other. Have fun defending people from internet feminists or whatever. We're clearly at an impasse anyways.

I always thought something was "off" About the NeoGAF leadership ever since the owner rejected requests to temporarily change the logo to tribute the passing of Iwata, yet they kept a LGBT banner up for a month following the Supreme Court decision to legalize gay marriage in the US. He basically stated Iwata's death wasn't as a significant event as the SC decision, why is all kinds of messed up for a Gaming forum to take that position. (And I say this as a member of the LGBT community)

Yeah there were several warnings before that but that situation really showed Evilore's pettiness. Basically shut down the idea of doing an Iwata tribute because apparently a few users were "rude" about it.

Like, I wouldn't ban you for the bolded. But that's a pretty yikes statement, bro.

Well they didn't give me a chance to explain what I meant, so they just assumed the worst. Then again it's been two and a half years since all that went down, and truth be told I think I was just trying to save face because I used to respect Jared from Subway due to his commercials. Haven't eaten at subway since then.

But i mean, implanting child porn on an innocent person's hard drive is a thing that can happen. Doesn't mean that person is the one who created it. There's also a clear difference between drawn and photo. If it's drawn, then chances are no one was harmed in the making of it. Photo on the other hand...

At any rate, I find it hilariously fitting how recently one of the former mods was arrested for actual possession of child porn, but then again based on what I've read in the past, Amir0x already seemed like a demented fool.

I agree. I don't see the appeal, but I'm also one of those foolishpeople who believes in "innocent until proven guilty", and being a transgender woman, I try not to judge people because of certain things.

Then you think about all the "guilty" people who were never punished, and it really makes you think about law & justice. =/

Well in that case I think it would be good to clarify this in the terms of use or board topicality warning message.

I've been on ngg for 10 years. I thought the whole point of splitting ngg into general and social was to have general be solely about games and consoles. I've seen numerous topics deleted from ngg in the past that were far more related to gaming than near daily threads about a competitor's web forum.

Lower key NeoGAF drama (just a mod stepping down or some internal drama) would likely be viewed as off-topic. Massive news that could end up being the end of the site itself or a change of ownership is definitely gaming related enough to be topical here due to the overall impact the site had in the gaming scene.

I feel like I've seen this "mods quitting" thing more than once in the past. Didn't this happen before already? Doesn't it just mean new mods will show up and the cycle begins anew? Honestly who here actually thinks NeoGAF is gonna close after this?

And if that answer is no one or almost no one, then this topic has little to do with video games, and is just internet personality drama
also remember that Evilore had a banner for a tribute to Satoru Iwata after he passed but decided not to use it beause he felt Iwata wasn't relevant enough

And if that answer is no one or almost no one, then this topic has little to do with video games, and is just internet personality drama

AFAIK all (or most of) the mods and admins quit, and the website is down down, likely not coming back up. 

&even if it does, most gaffers migrated to different forums anyways bc no one wants to be associated with the human garbage that is EviLore. 

The odds of someone else taking over the website for him is essentially null as well, bc NeoGAF is radioactive at this point.

    If numerous people are reporting a topic for the same reason, it's definitely not a coincidence and you should be doing your job as a moderator.

    If we just blindly deleted anything that gets marked a lot regardless if it broke a rule or not then this post right here would just been deleted by me since I came across it in the mod queue. Just saying.

    A topic discussing a prominent gaming related forum being shut down is not off-topic on a board for discussing gaming. If you have an issue with this feel free to ignore the TC so his topic is hidden from your view. Or just leave the topic.

    Well in that case I think it would be good to clarify this in the terms of use or board topicality warning message.

    I've been on ngg for 10 years. I thought the whole point of splitting ngg into general and social was to have general be solely about games and consoles. I've seen numerous topics deleted from ngg in the past that were far more related to gaming than near daily threads about a competitor's web forum.


    Jesus, you've had one regular mod and now a lead mod tell you to cool it and you are still rambling about nonsense.

    Error1355 could call in SB to tell you the same thing and you would keep on arguing. NGG has very little topicality restriction beyond vague gaming-relatedness and things that impact gaming.

    That's why we went from Next-Gen Gaming to Nonstop Gaming General.

    Like, I wouldn't ban you for the bolded. But that's a pretty yikes statement, bro.

    Well they didn't give me a chance to explain what I meant, so they just assumed the worst. Then again it's been two and a half years since all that went down, and truth be told I think I was just trying to save face because I used to respect Jared from Subway due to his commercials. Haven't eaten at subway since then.

    But i mean, implanting child porn on an innocent person's hard drive is a thing that can happen. Doesn't mean that person is the one who created it. There's also a clear difference between drawn and photo. If it's drawn, then chances are no one was harmed in the making of it. Photo on the other hand...

    At any rate, I find it hilariously fitting how recently one of the former mods was arrested for actual possession of child porn, but then again based on what I've read in the past, Amir0x already seemed like a demented fool.

    :/

    Look, tomorrow I could be simply walking down the street and a guy dressed up as noseybonk could suddenly pop out of a trash can and happy slap me right across my fucking face with a tuna.

    ... Just because something in our reality is possible does not mean it is going to happen or really has any real chance of happening. Implanting CP on someone's computer is so far in the sub single percentage of actually happening that anyone that does come out with it only looks like someone who is making an excuse for a nonce. Or watches too much TV drama.

    Just don't.

    ^ That

    And even if he was offered a few million, chances are the reason he declined is because he was already making plenty of money from it. Add that to the perceived social status the site granted him, it was likely a combination that in his power hungry eyes was worth more than a single big pay out.

    A lot of the moderators seemed more interested in gatekeeping than ensuring balanced discussion. Users were often banned for expressing an opinion that a mod didn't like. They wanted a hug box, and they got it.

    That's not to say neogaf itself had no value. There was plenty of great discussion about various different topics amongst the members. I would like for the site to continue, but under different management and moderation.

    Holy crap guys stop the infighting. 

    This isn't a gaf vs gfaqs war. People use both sites. Myself included. 

    The biggest issue with all of this, is that GAF was a great source of information, news, and insider info for the gaming industry. I'm not talking about the stupid political off topic side of things. As a strictly gaming forum, losing neogaf is a very bad thing. I hope it comes back in some form, hopefully without shitty people at the helm.

    The "fucking" point is that one day Nintendo makes a decision and people claim they're SJW shills. The next day they make another decision and they're disrespecting PoC, gay people, etc. AKA: both sides are just complaining about some concerted effort from the other to ruin things using the same company to try to prove their point which just shows how dumb the argument is in the first place.

    Remember the SJW backlash against Nintendo was so great that they literally had to apologize in the public sphere about it. I forget if it was Reggie or Bill Trinen that actually made a video explaining what was going on.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nintendo-apologizes-after-same-sex-controversy-over-tomodachi-life-game/

    The point is that both sides regularly go apeshit for basically nothing or treat a decision as some attack on them. Which is the best way to make sure people tune out and not give a shit. And yes, companies will censor titles from time to time for various reasons and it sucks. That still doesn't make it some grand SJW conspiracy. 9 times out of 10 the "SJWs" have zero input in any localization changes yet every time there's even the slightest change it's all some secret culture war attack. Even with Fire Emblem Fates where despite having some legit gripes, many of the changes in that game were made so that the script didn't read like it was written by Microsoft Text-to-Speech.


    How dense are you?

    You keep going on "both side trying to win political points" but there's no "both sides". Wanting no fucking censorship and politics to get out of their shit is not really a "political side".

    Not just that, but only one side was able to get Nintendo to apologies. We will never get Nintendo to apologize for censorship. You're trying to push this Tomodachi Life story so goddamn hard but only an idiot would buy your angle, seriously.

    The point is that both sides regularly go apeshit for basically nothing


    Once again, there is actual censorship and removed content, it is not nothing

    Even with Fire Emblem Fates where despite having some legit gripes, many of the changes in that game were made so that the script didn't read like it was written by Microsoft Text-to-Speech.


    Lol, don't try to brush it off like it was nothing. Not only Soleil's route dialogue was changed but many others. IIRC they also removed a shitload of in-game universe political context too.

    Anyways, we have provably have some SJW working on localization in NoA, actually affecting some part of a game, and even if you could ignore that and brush it off to "Well, it's business measures so they can make the most cash", once again:

    https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2017/06/nintendo-localizers-now-work-with-japanese-devs-to-censor-games-for-western-culture/33309/

    Reggie mentioning the “cultural relevance” (See: IDGA)


    Basically even if you could brush it off to "business measure", it seems this kinda shit is happening because of the current garbage political climate.

    The current garbage climate basically spearheaded but journos, and no thanks to gaming journos either.

    Still very relevant:


    Stop being such an SJW apologist Kaitouace. Your attempt to appear "neutral" and blaming "both sides" are not fucking working.


    If he's an "SJW apologist", you're being the tonal opposite, and being literally okay with anything so long as it suits your agenda.
