NeoGAF mods knew they really fucked up by banning my friend George, and now they're flatout lying to save face.

Admin Nirolak:

"George was a many-times permanently banned member who you guys didn't seem too sad about losing the last few times their alts were discovered."

This right here is a flatout lie. An absolute, complete lie that doesn't make any sense. I know I certainly did not make "many alts." I gave up NeoGAF after trying to get unbanned for months with radio silence from the mod team even though my ban was self-requested.

NeoGAF members are getting restless that their only source of data was banned for a bullshit reason. There are even calls to unban him, which I find really sweet. And now, just as I expected, the mods are trying to spin a new story to get them to calm down instead of doing the right thing and admitting their mistake and unbanning him.

These blatant lies are unconscionable and should not be tolerated.

If you are the same Aquamarine that gone on GAF and not only someone that is reposting his thoughs for us, please when you get a chance talk to George so he can post here if allowed. About people believing VGC numbers most here will at most take the numbers as a beacon to the general playing field, no one really believes them to be less than 20% margin of error in general for a week.

Well, keep us posted. I know George would be welcomed here (and our mods are very reasonable people; like, you really have to be bad to get banned), and like I said, social media is also a potential option. With both you and him banned from GAF and Cream having gone AWOL, there's literally no source of NPD numbers left on the internet. It'd be a shame that after years of mostly complete hardware sales data that we enter a total dark age where nobody outside the NPD and the Big Three has any clue exactly how well any console is doing in the U.S., plus all my regular charts will collect digital dust. I know a lot of people would appreciate the imminent return of NPD numbers.

Glad to see that some in the community have observed this! The team is definitely trying!

We love the Mod team even when they don't choose us to be new mods. Congrats on being nominated, you're a great guy.
