NeoGAF might get shut down.

[Armadillo]

Might actually survive and come out for the better. Most of the posters to make sure everyone knows they are leaving, rather than just leaving without fuss are the usual lunatics that made the site awful. A purge of the mods is good thing as well. Fresh mods and a focus on gaming and not which posters are "literally worse than hitler" for liking some fan service in a game or some other nonsense might actually make it an enjoyable forum again.

And while they're at it, they should loosen up the registration prerequisite BS a tad, like, you know, allowing hotmail accounts? That'd be nice.

After reading the nice post from EviLore, and an article, this guy is clearly hiding something. I feel bad for anyone that actually trusts that reject and continues to use the site.

Anyone who stays is condoning Evilore's actions. Anyone who stays who claims to be a progressive, feminist, and/or SJW is also a hypocrite.

Does anyone know what his "actions" were? I just read a few articles along with his public statement and her fb complaint. This chick is his ex girlfriend and she accused him of getting in the shower with her when she didn't want him to. So fucking what? If I went on a trip with my ex and had a night out getting shit faced together, and her getting into a shower (in a room they must have shared for him to have access to it) I would have assumed that to be an invitation as well. She posted this thing after her then bf left her. There's got to be a reason for that. This whole thing sounds like bandwagon bullshit and sensationalism to me, and it needs to be ignored and left to die. It's not even sexual assult, it's a misinterpretation of a situation. She didn't say he stayed and raped her. She said he got dressed and left while ignoring her (sounds like embarrassment). Think for yourselves sheep.

It was the perfect excuse for bashing him and boarding the boat away from the shitty site IMHO. Only that.
You know, nobody liked him, and also NeoGAF staff as a whole is known by their backstabbing antics.
If they backstab anybody who has an opinion, what would stop them from backstabbing the hated owner when the chance presents to themselves?
First and only complaint, should see what happens in court, but it smells like BS from here.

I don't think there are even charges. She removed her post and haven't given a statement since. The backstabbing is possible, but he stated that the resignations of the moderators was because of the stress of community backlash. I'm inclined to believe that. The only time I heard they were "distancing" themselves was an assumption in one article I read.

Her allegations were that he go into the shower and tried to make a move when she said no and was allegedly sick. Not to mention his retaliation toward her and the accusations. What gets me is that she was with him after that point.

In the same article I was reading, one of the moderators commented on the site and how it was administrated. Some funny shit.

She said the retaliation was that he wouldn't talk to her for the rest of the trip, and ignored her while dressing. She also said that she told him she was committed to her relationship after he made a move. Either way, neither is assult and from what I've seen he's catching alot of harassment and slander over nothing. I've been turned down several times in my life. I'd say most of us have been turned down at least a few times. That doesn't make us predators. That's feminism logic.

Also, think about it from the boyfriends position. What questions would you ask your gf if she told you this?

"Why was he in your room while you were showering?"
"What are guys doing getting drunk together alone?"
"Why are you spending so much time with your ex?"
That'd be my response.

My understanding was that they were out and shared a room. Possibly to save on cost. Regardless, I'm more aiming at how unprofessional he's being about the accusations. Coming out and talking down on her. From personal experience, when someone does that it's usually them trying to lie. She is at fault as well. You don't go hanging out and get shit faced with someone you've been intimate with at some point in your life. Especially not alone. Kind of makes her look bad with that.

Assault accusations aside the guy is a shit bag. From what I've seen he absolutely hates being questioned and will throw whatever power he has to shut you up.

I didn't think his statement was bad. All he said on the subject of her is that her story doesn't add up and it was an issue with an ex. She's the one that came out talking down on someone. Then she removed it and hasn't responded to the situation since. That's fishy to me. As is the room sharing, no one in a committed relationship shares a room with an ex boyfriend and parties with them as well.

Here's my theory. She said her relationship was already strained because of him, and that it lead to them breaking up. I'd say, these two were fucking around, the bf had enough suspension to not trust her and dumped her, and in retaliation she posted some shit on the internet.

No doubt in my mind they were fooling around. Apparently she also chose to hide (not delete) the post. She didn't want to cause trouble but decided to post that shit on a social media website for the world to see. Funny huh?

At the end of the day, I think they're both retarded in this issue.

Without evidence it's just a bunch of BS to me.

As someone who doesn't have real ties to NeoGAF, I think it would be ashamed to lose support and popularity over something that wasn't even your fault.

What does this mean for ResetEra? Not really sure how I feel about that name.

A little research shows me that ResetEra won't be worth a damn. Just salty former members from a super salty forum. Let's be real here.

 

[Deleted User]

Apparently you need a "secret code" to sign up to ResetEra. I'm too lazy to find it myself so I'm giving up on signing up for now.

 

[Deleted User]

Damn. I hope NeoGaf stays around. It has always been a nice news page. Especially for new digital foundry videos.
