@cincaid: It's been so weird going through this forum and recognizing a bunch of names and avatars from at least 7+ years ago when everyone was still active on here.
It's kinda insane to wait and see what comes of all this. Neogaf seemed so central not only to my hobbies, but to my work. I posted on these forums for a long time, and never stopped consuming GB content but eventually moved out to Neogaf for forum news (never bothered making an account) when Giant Bomb got too big and couldn't handle all the spam on these forums anymore. (I'm not even sure that's an issue that got fixed). I've started working in the industry in data and analyst roles since then, and neogaf was surprisingly widespread with developers and publishers I've worked with. Idk why that was so surprising, I guess I always just thought they wouldn't care or would have better sources for this kind of stuff. So many people used it to gauge hardcore reactions to their games, or just as an easy way to follow competitor/market news. I don't know what takes over now, where everyone goes.
I like how almost every mention of it I see on Twitter when I searched #NeoGAF is a bunch of a shitty Gamergate dudes pounding their chests and claiming responsibility. The internet is sure something else.
As far as this is concerned, I really hope that this keeps happening. It's a shame that it comes at the cost of a site that a lot of totally fine people enjoyed using, but hopefully these consequences further serve to teach people to not be fucking monsters. This EvilLore guy seems like a real piece of shit.
Their new tack is they EXPOSE sexual harassment??
Huh...
Did the same and tried using Twitter to search for news about this (hahaha, silly decision I know). Haven't regretted a Twitter search this much since 2 days ago when searching for the Bush speech revealed a bunch of people equating "White Supremecy is bad" to being anti-american.
Roommate, who was male, told me we should urinate sitting down so we wouldn't have to clean the restroom. Told him I'd be in charge of cleaning the restroom, but my freedom would not be taken. Oddly enough, even in an apartment with four men, it was never a problem; everyone was oddly clean.
I'll be graduating from college soon in the bay area and still need to find a job. Nice to have someone that I can relate to. I'm glad you found a job though Rorie in a place that you can enjoy working at.
