I don't know if you guys care or not (most likely not) but I know the Best Friends frequented Neogaf at some point. Yeah that place is imploding right now. The site's owner, Tyler Malka, was accused of jumping naked into a shower with a woman without her permission.

I don't really judge a website's users by the person who owns it, though. Like I don't judge goons by Lowtax(nothing against him), or people on facebook by Zucky. Still, it would suck for a community to shut down because the guy running it went nuts.

GAF shutting down would suck because the only way we get advanced information on gaming stuff 90% of the time is through GAF leak threads.

Given the history of gross poo poo said and done by other mods him being a creep and weirdo isn't new and he didn't suddenly become a lovely person, especially given how much poo poo he approved of and let happen on the forum over the years. This isn't a one off thing and this isn't the first instance of gross poo poo from the owner (and especially not the first actual sex criminal to be a high ranked GAF mod). When you have a bad person at the absolute head of a thing they tend to fill in the ranks with like-minded fuckers.

I'm just saying as advice in general, if the person in top control of a thing turns out to be a shitlord/creeper/gross person you can safely bet there's a lot more of that poo poo happening under their control.

LoL if you don't know about how a large portion of the mods or people directly hired by Lowtax turned out to be absolute weirdos perverts or worse.

Remember that Games mod that had the 'Women turned into inanimate objects' fetish art?

I've actually been seeing threads about Neogaf by confused people go up and then get deleted immediately on their subreddit. From what I can read this poo poo has been going on since 2012 with a variety of lovely people actually being protected by site staff. We're talking at least two publicly convicted pedophiles and a rapist at least.
Say what you will about SA but at least the garbage here wasn't given protection by site staff for who knows how long. In conclusion:

EDIT: Someone had written an expose about the site's shady staff earlier this year.

William Freund (c. 1986 - October 29, 2005) was a nineteen-year-old male who donned a cape and paintball mask and went on a shooting rampage in the city of Aliso Viejo, California. He shot and killed two people before going home and killing himself with a shot to the torso. Before going on the rampage, he is said to have posted his plans on the online Asperger's Syndrome message board wrongplanet.net. He also posted on the Something Awful Forums under the alias "forbiddenforum" asking for information on where to buy Hevi-Shot ammunition. Forum members responded with information, then derision as he claimed that he was going to be shooting at people attempting to vandalize his Halloween pumpkins. The thread was closed a few days before his shooting spree. He also posted on AnandTech but never commented on suicide or his plans to kill. He was a computer expert who, according to his employer, kept to himself and severely lacked social skills.

My 'favorite' GAF mod story is the one where a pro pedo Neogaf mod who told some woman, who was abused for years as a child, that she was incapable of having an opinion on pedophiles and low key threatened to ban her if she kept participating in a thread about them.

I'm watching liam's archive of his playthrough of nier automata and I had to pause the video from laughing so hard when he self destructed in the middle of the ending b credits

What a brilliantly absurd and hilariously anticlimactic decision, love it

Edit: him marking out after ending b is so cute. :3: its fun to watch him play this because he loving loves it with every fiber of his being and you can tell, it's great.

The Punisher can be a decent character but most people that love Frank Castle like him because HE KILLS BAD PEOPLE WITH GUNS HE'S NOT A PUSSY, let's be honest. Lots of stories are just that too. Matt just loves the dumb 90s aesthetic though, so there's no way his favorite character wouldn't be Pun-chan.

At least he's not like my brother that will defend Red Hood to the death.
