Hi there Giant Bomb! Yep, another GAF refugee here! I was trying to make sense of everything and find a place where other GAF members were going. Of course all those GG people praising GAF's demise is easy to find, but this thread was the first result on Google, read through and I share a lot of the same feelings.
I believe I registered around 2008 or so, and like many people said here the fast paced, something-for-everyone format really drew in. At the time it was a great place to get Japanese magazine scans and get new game info. Even when it was later banned, I stick around. Pretty soon it became, as a couple other posters said. Wake up, GAF. Bored: GAF. Browsing on my phone? GAF.
In all my time there, I was never banned, but then I never really got into heated discussions too much.
Not much to add that hasn't been said yet. If someone took NeoGAF away from Evilore and started it anew I'd be cool with that, I'd also be cool with with former members making a new successor to GAF that wasn't GAF.
Anyway, thanks mods and admins for being so open and welcoming. It's funny, even before this meltdown, I was thinking of looking for places to check out outside of GAF. Seems as good a time as any.
