Such a great place for getting gaming news. Well put-together OPs even for old obscure games. Weekly Japanese sales threads. Above-average discussion (certainly better than here lmao)

Sure they were an echo chamber and the mods were too strict, but they were really the only gaming site I've seen without any of the incendiary bullshit like people whining about SJWs and feminists. It was really refreshing to see a place with absolutely no support for things like gamergate. Nobody complaining when a game has an LGBT or poc character, etc.

It's a shame it had to end this way.

Of course there weren't complaints about SJW's there, it was home base? The mods pushed an idealogical angle and the people responded by leaving you to your echo chamber.

Only times I went there was when people linked me to threads there, which was usually either a repost of news from elsewhere, or someone trying to get me to care about someone there losing it over some anime titties beyond "wow it sure is absurd seeing someone get so worked up over something so inconsequential", which I can also say about the people elsewhere flipping out over the color of a character's skin.

Never had problems finding news for the games I care about without it.

but they said they're scheduled for maintenance? damn. Not sure to laugh or cry. I'm in a state of disbelief. that's where I get my gaming news wtf...

edit: they could just get a new head to operate the site. The site alone does not deserve to go down. We get a ton of developers and great content posted.

With Neogaf, it was centralized. Also you get a lot of insider information from techies and developers. Not to mention the dedicated game OT threads were really well made.

Why don't you use the reply feature?
And because it was an overtly SJW echo chamber where free expression and open discussion were not possible.
Disagree with someone in a way that isn't totally self-deprecating? Ding-dong bannu. Hold an opinion that doesn't line up with the majority held position? Ding-dong bannu. Say anything even slightly critical of Sony? Ding-dong bannu. Try to inject the slightest amount of banter into your post? Ding-dong bannu. Criticize the site's admin for sexually harassing women? Ding-dong bannu.
Hopefully you get the idea. People tend to dislike a forum that operates more like a gulag.

Lmao, they all quit in solidarity with no actual evidence of the allegations against their owner and they're running with the slogan "believe women"? Yeah, good fucking riddance. Not saying you shouldn't take these allegations seriously but you shouldn't start pointing fingers until there's actually proof. Just taking their word for it when it's a public figure involved is a fucking joke.

They're probably reacting that way because this isn't the first accusation of sexual misconduct against him.

Yep, they cannibalized themselves over unfounded allegations, which is bound to happen when they're all such raging feminist SJWs that thrive on pure emotion over rationale.

Except it doesn't affect them. It's a gaming website, the actions of the owner are inconsequential to the functioning of the site, but they turned it into an extreme left echo chamber so of course they have to defend their image.

If SBallen was accused of trying to feel up a drink girl in a shower would this site cannibalize itself too over it, or would we just laugh at him and make memes about It? The NEOGAFers here would have a hissy fit, but then be ignored.

But what if said girl was at SBAllen's place and was all into him? And liked when he went in the shower?

UPDATE: I read what the neogaf guy apparently did and the girl said when he got in the shower that, that wasn't ok and she had a boyfriend.
So he LISTENED and stepped out, and then it was just awkward til the next morning when he dropped her off.

Wow that forum is a scary place then if they are willing to let the site implode because of that, dude did one advance, got shut down, so he left. There is nothing wrong with him being distant to her after that.

Yes, because the guy who owned the site did something bad every single aspect or user of the site also is guilty of the same thing, right? /s

Tjata not what he's saying. He's saying that SJW beta cuck cultura marxism culture is far worse than anything on /pol/ and he'll ignore anyone who disagrees. He's not upset about the owner's bad actions at all, just about the site itself.

There is so much hyperbole about Neogaf. They do have people who are offended by everyone, but I've constantly seen them being called out by other members (who were not banned). For example, someone was complaining about Mario wearing a sombrero being "offensive." While some people agreed most thought it wasn't offesnive. What does nearly every other gaming site say. "LOL look at these cucks in the liberal hivemind trying to ruin Mario."
