One of the premier video game forums. A bunch of devs, industry insiders and journalists were regulars there.

Its users were also known for propagating various politically charged gaming related controversies. The community there was aggressively leftist, which put them at odds with various groups and individuals.

Whatever one's opinion on their politics, its hard to deny that it was one of the best and most active forums for gaming news and discussion.

I guess I just got by fine with the mediocre immediate news and discussion had here, that's clearly so sub-par to "politically-charged gaming controversies".

They're both basically garbage and anti-free speech

Regarding anti-free speech, from what I've read, Neogaf appears worse.*
I've seen some ridiculous reddits/twitters posted containing bans with 'immature' reasons given.
One of them I last read involved questioning if the site censors and they got banned saying they don't belong there.

*But then again, on GameFAQs I've only been on PotD, PS4, XBone, Switch, and some game boards. I'm guessing some boards may have mods that frequent and don't mind... removing what shouldn't be said?

-_- people, put politics and free speech to the side for a moment.

9 times out of 10 You'd find the latest gaming news from around the web collected, summarized, sourced and analyzed extensively on neogaf before any major news sites even mentioned it. That's in addition to the other random gaming discussion topics. It was excellent browsing fodder. It had a better average post quality than GameFAQs too (no offense).

I'm enjoying all the account suicide topics. EviLore's statement is a steaming pile of shit. He deserves to have GAF blow up in his ugly face. SBAllen > EviLore (though I do admit I miss CJayC at times)

NeoGAF seemed like the OG of game boards. And also a place where you would find reasonable, centrist users rather than those who swing too far.

I think GameFAQs might be more hypocritical than Neogaf. But GameFAQs thinks words are inherently offensive, which is just level ? block insanity.

Seems pointless. I mean if you are that disgusted by a accusation and are quick to believe it then why not just stop posting on that site without feeling the need to make a tit of yourself?

Do you know something I don't? All we have is her and his side of the story. I'm not taking sides at this point but perhaps that's because I don't care enough.

Might just go to Reset Era why stay on a forum with that POS still as a owner?

His statement also is something he could have posted the same day he got accused etc, that statement did not need 3-4 days to go out.

I had a new account pending as the previous one was banned for not following the herd there but if it ever gets accepted i will just suicide it and get perma banned.

No way i will ever go back there again will just put it in my blocklist the whole site, just reading the big backlash of his statement wich i enjoy alot the people still defending him there are the most insane.

He has a record of being a douchebag/creep and is banning everyone who opposes yet again like in 2012 where he confirmed sexual harassment.

Probably talking it over with his lawyers and whatnot so he can't just shitpost whenever.

SBAllen > EviLore

the obvious difference here being that the former is an employee of a company and the latter is just a dude

The lesson to be learned here is that at the top of the mob people who are constantly preaching how they "art holier than thou" in an irrational way are basically assuming everyone else has the same skeleton in the closet as they do, and they're just brave enough to own up to it. Basically, they're in denial and using projection to rationalize their negative aspects instead of confronting them.

Also, anyone involved in gamergate on either side needs to realize that we're in several corrupt wars, we're dealing with a hugely corrupt real media, and we live in an oligarchy. But he said she said is pretty much a grain of sand in importance to Mount Everest. That's more of a parallel than a metaphor.
