CM Sunny Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 So as it's known to most by now, Neogaf is offline. The gist of the situation was covered by Rishi, so check his piece out if you're unaware of what happened. So for all the now 'ex' members and lurkers, along with ivgians discuss the drama and its fallout here. EL would be putting out a statement soon but I guess it's too little too late now. Site was getting too ban happy anyways, so I guess karma? Quote Popular video game forum NeoGAF is now offline. This comes amidst allegations of sexual assault by its owner Tyler “Evilore” Malka. NeoGAF’s moderators have resigned en masse and a host of members have left the site. Sexual assault allegations have been swirling around Malka for the better part of the week after a screenshot of a Facebook post was made public. It details an account of a woman traumatised by a man she was friends with. On being asked to name the man she replied with, “Google Evilore.” Every time a post regarding this has come up on NeoGAF, it has been immediately removed. Malka is reportedly in the process of issuing a statement. Full Story:http://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/news/neogaf-offline-evilore-sexual-assault-allegations-1765678 The image that started it all: Members are leaving en masse, some leaving behind choice posts: So were you a member on gaf too? Lurker? Zodka? Surprised? Shocked? Blame Sony? Let in the salt below. Bai Bai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Evilore was always a piece of sh*t. Shame his downfall was tied to the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohit9206 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I don't see why the site should suffer due to allegations against him. I've always be a lurker and hopefully its just temporarily offline as i enjoy browsing neogaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I don't see it so much as the site suffering as the community deciding to turn their backs on it. Something new will.come along soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnackChap Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 kotaku has a more detailed article. they even talk to the victim about it. In a phone conversation with Kotaku, Leupp said that even after the alleged shower incident, she’d continued her friendship and even had a brief physical relationship with Malka until they had a falling out at E3 2015. She said that, prior to the alleged shower incident “I had no reason not to trust him. He had been introducing me to people and helping me network for my film company,” she told me. “I feel gross from having ever been in contact with this person.” ?? full story https://kotaku.com/neogaf-goes-dark-after-sexual-misconduct-allegation-aga-1819755151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarbonCore Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Sucks cause I don't want to go to N4G for gaming news and read titles like "8 reasons why Mario Odyssey will be GOTY this year - IGN" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloy Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Damn, NeoGaf was my primary source of gaming news. This is is really sickening. Also, I don't see why the whole community should suffer because of one man..even if he's the owner. Didn't he have any partners? Maybe they can restart the site.

SpearHea:D Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Yeah read that, loved that place for gaming reads, lttps, screenshots, rumors, awesome gifs, etc. But it was full of arm chair activists, sjw, hardcore leftists, anything against their views and there comes the perma ban hammer. f**k that place for that.

I hope they charge the other mods there too for working with/under such a person. Wave congrats brother. Assholes banned you for nothing. Tera badla poora hua. Every site who bans members permanently should get hacked and shut down. Huge sigh of relief for MS as well as Neogaf was biggest anti Xbox site on internet after N4g and now they got shut down close to one x release. From kotaku article Although the site has been criticized in the past for, among other things, its users’ tendencies to have kneejerk reactions to gaming news, This is one of the reason I never liked Neogaf.
