Lets assume that even if we put aside the multiple instances of shitty behavior toward women, the revenge porn, the physical sexual touching of a stranger in a bar, etc, and give him the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe he did just misread the signs from a friend and hopped in her shower naked. It doesn't seem as if he touched her. Because of the echo chamber extremely oversensitive SJW feminism bullshit his forum has been molded into, a simple misunderstanding between friends has been changed into full blown sexual assault. Is there any other forum on the Internets not dedicated solely to feminism where something like that gets classified as fucking sexual assault?

So he bit the hand that feeds. The only thing that matters to him is the ad revenue, I wonder how much all of this hit his wallet.

Well, I don't know on the validity of the story, but going into the shower with someone who's naked is something that is common sense: you don't do it without their permission beforehand. You don't just assume for something that like.

I don't know all the facts and until recent events only visited community threads for laughs, knowledge and sales.

It's had its fair share of rumors

I don't know if this is real but there was a rumor going around that neogaf at one point was on sony's payroll....

https://www.vg247.com/2013/05/17/the-story-of-neogaf-part-three-money-money-money/

"With a ridiculous 70 million page views a month being dished out to some 2.6 million unique visitors, one would think that even before it ballooned to its current size, gaming’s most notorious mega-board would’ve been easy to keep afloat."

Sounds like both were drunk (or at least impared), her to the point of puking in the shower, and what were they doing sharing a room, and she left the bathroom unlocked...  seems to me they both made choices lacking common sense...

I agree, but they were both drunk, and they were friends. He could have honestly interpreted something from her the wrong way, or just been drunk off his ass. Being drunk is not an excuse really, but we're not talking about something too malicious here. But only because it involved GAF did it become something so shitty. He might as well have raped her and killed her as far as most of those people running for RestartERA or whatever are concerned.



Around the Network

On Wednesday night a group of former GAF users launched ResetEra, a clean new message board with sections for discussing video games and other topics (“EtcetEra”). As of Thursday morning they already have more than 7,100 users, according to one moderator. And the site is already full of threads that resemble NeoGAF before last week’s implosion.

NeoGAF has been collapsing since its owner Tyler Malka was accused last week of entering a woman’s shower against her will, an accusation that he has since denied. The allegation also resurfaced older controversial incidents involving Malka’s behavior both in real life and on the forums. After the majority of the site’s moderation staff quit, NeoGAF went down for roughly the entire weekend before returning on Monday night with a message from Malka, who said he would be removing political discussions from the site. As he and his staff deleted the bulk of NeoGAF threads discussing what had happened, a flood of users requested bans, often in colorful ways.

I don't know why Evilore is slow to react, he needs to stop with archaic registering format. He lost a lot of active posters to resetera by doing nothing to stop that or counter that. Current state of neogaf right now is like a wasteland compared to ResetEra.

How does anyone keep up on noise on those sites. NeoGAF and ResetEra have 4 categories.  VGChartz has 21 so it's easier to not be flooded.

Whether resetera will result in a sorting of the wheat from the chaff in terms of where the most toxic members go remains to be seen. I wonder if mentioning the new site on gaf will have the same consequences as mentioning vgc. And vice versa.

Wasn't long before that question was answered
