I like Neogaf. There are lots of things they do well:

- the layout is nice and simple
- hey have a mobile version of the site that is also simple and easy to navigate
- news usually breaks there first
- the mod team is quick to lock duplicate threads, or merge duplicate threads.
- the mod team also does a great job of ensuring that discussion of a topic stays within a single thread (this is a big problem at VGchartz, IMO. Too many users will create a new thread when any idea pops into their head, instead of posting that idea in the half-dozen other threads of the same topic)
- I think the process to join Neogaf, although slow, is a benefit to the site. The threat of being banned carries more weight and I think causes people to be more mindful when posting.
- a number of their users work in the industry and provide interesting insight into the business

Good summary... I will be with you ;)

Yeah. Even though i got banned for 7 days i learned it was 300 posts. Thats a lot before being allowed to make your own threads. NOt a fan of that

It is not only posts... you need to have a 6 months old account too.

If you got banned you are juniored again... so you need more X months to become member again lol

There are juniors with over 30k posts due bans.

What is this async refresh button? I assume just something that refeshes the page?

Just load the last comments without any refresh on the page...

Mobile site is awesome.

The reason I don't care to apply is because I don't want Tyler knowing my personal email information.

BECAUSE IT DONT ACCEPT MY EMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just buy a private domain if you want to.

They can deny you if you have an email on a private domain as well. It's on their TOS.

A. NeoGAF operates under a closed membership policy. Membership is granted or refused based solely on the judgment of the administration and is not a right. Membership can be revoked at any time for any reason. Each accepted member is granted one, and only one, username. If you are caught using multiple usernames, you will be subject to immediate and permanent banning of all accounts involved. If you wish to change your username, simply notify a staff member via Private Message (though bear in mind that frequent changes will be frowned upon).

B. Registration must be performed with an Internet Service Provider, education, or workplace email address. No other types of email addresses will be accepted, including all free email addresses (@gmail), addresses tied to personal domains (@myrandomblog), addresses part of standalone paid accounts (@me), or any of a limited number of domains that have been blacklisted for abuse despite otherwise falling within the bounds of ISP/education/workplace (@aol). The approval process is manual and subject to a significant waiting period.

People here are cooler, the interface is a lot more appealing though the website is not stable, plus I can wait a few minutes before information could leak into here.
