@super600: But I think its for the better in the end. Killing the Off Topic section like this is the right move to atually get a ton of horrible and vile people out of there. And as much as I hate Neogaf I can not find a fault with the reccent shower story. It was no sexual assault or harrasment. It was a stupid move while being drunk and there was no force involved and he did stop after he got telled no. At most I would call him a dick/asshole for the behaviour afterwards (being resentful, mean) but thats it.
GAF was definitely getting a bit toxic in the last year or so, but I do not think people are leaving just because of those allegations. I do not think removing OT will solve the problem much.I think GAF needs to be completely cleaned up. I also think there were lots of things over the years on GAF that made people want to quit posting on the site now. Also I do not think any developer is going to want to associate themselves with that site anymore.
The developer part was true for a long time. Even MS Vice President Mike Ybarra made openly fun of Gaf burning down. They could not really ignore Gaf since it was the leading place for discussions but Not many developers liked Gaf or even wanted to post there sicne a long time. But lets Wait and Se. Honestly a Neogaf without this political garbagefire sounds pretty cool imo^^
