Thank you...wish more of you Sales Age people (and NPD leakers) would move away from NeoGAF onto other sites like this one.

They have really treated Sales Age people like ZhugeEX and I like complete shit for no reason whatsoever...they harbor these vendettas against people like us and try vehemently to censor every last mention of us from their forums for no good reason.

I was on NeoGAF for three years and poured my heart and soul into that place and they treat me like I'm complete fucking trash when I literally did nothing wrong to them (I voluntarily asked to be banned and all I wanted was an unban!) I can't have my contact at NPD help out you guys...I can't create an alt (tried that once, it was banned in like a week)...I can't be unbanned...it continues to infuriate me. But whatever....

Just ask Zhuge----mods are literally going into thread topics and deleting references to him on Twitter....when all he is doing is just posting financial information from conference calls and investor meetings that literally anyone can access. It's downright abusive and I will continue to speak up against it because it's just not right. People shouldn't be frequenting that kind of forum.

I had stayed away from this site in large part due to your statements on the reliability of the info posted here. Things have clearly changed. I'm well aware of the treatment Zhuge has received and I've voiced my dissent on multiple occassions whenever given the opportunity. Seems to only have served to put me under the microscope. Not a fan at all of what is happening behind the scenes but I do love the commmunity (at least what is left of it anyway). I just wish there was another way of engaging with them outside of that currently dubious environment. 

Regardless, like I said, I just wanted to say that those of us actually discussing the sales still miss you and wish you were around. Hopefully that serves as some amount of solace for all the crap youve had to deal with.

It used to be NPD who was giving me so much shit for leaks....and then they finally calmed down with the management shift....and right after they calmed down I now have to deal with all the shit from the GAF mods who spread lies and slander and censor and act like petulant children. Right when I solved one problem...another headache emerged. It seems I can't catch a break! Am I cursed or something?

The whole getting-banned-for-no-reason made me kinda depressed in the past...when you spend three years of your life passionately contributing to a community every day making tens of thousands of posts and then you're just discarded like trash for no good reason....it really sucks. It's dehumanizing, you know? It's pushed me away from online communities and made me really hesitant to embrace others.

And banning my contact from NPD on a whim after he was helping GAF for three months and THEN making up all these bullshit lies about him to cover their tracks...that was the last straw. Incredibly unprofessional and petty of them...downright embarrassing that an actual company like NeoGAF LLC would act in such a manner.

 

Just one of countless examples of their nonsense, I'm afraid.

But whatever. I have a great life, great job, and a production company outside of forums and that's what I've been prioritizing.

 

The community is great, especially people like CosmicQueso who has an incredible trove of retail wisdom and insights. That's what made me gravitate to GAF in the first place. I encourage all of them----especially you, dude----to get out while you still can. They are trigger-happy-god-complex fanatics who will find some minor slight with you and shun you like a piece of discarded trash like they did with me. It's just a matter of time.
