Support NeoGAF

[Tarazet]

i'm betting at least 10k of those are banned.

If the user numbers are up to around 79.5K like OpinionatedCyborg says, but there are 65K active users, then that leaves around 14,000 profiles that are either banned or not activated. Right?

 

[Mileena]

I always imagined if I got a tag, I wouldn't want it because it made me look like an idiot (not hard). Then I'd ask someone to remove it, they wouldn't, and I'd say delete my GAF account.

I'd take any tag I could get

 

[TommyT]

lol so Dudebro of you

OH NO U DI'NT!

I'm so making some image of you now.

 

[Boogie]

I honestly don't.

To be completely serious, my memory (in life, not just for this forum) isn't the best in the world. When it comes to GAF, I've forgotten a TON of stuff over the past decade- my time as a mod/admin included. I can honestly only remember getting banned for 2 things (posting that joke porn thread and the do something new every day thread... pretty sure the Nintendogs incident got me de-adminned, but not banned), yet I know that I've probably been banned ~10 times in the past 10 years.

But I'll echo what you said early in this thread, in that you were a kid during GAF's beginning, and so was I. I think you and I are around the same age actually. Breaking the rules and making people laugh back then was the best thing ever, but when you reach your late twenties like I have, you change. I still like to try to crack people up, but I don't think I've been banned in a few years now, whereas in the earlier days, it used to be every few months.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I caused a bunch of grief for you back then.

Okay, this is getting way too group-huggy. Break it up, kids.

Re: the hacking that got you demodded, yeah your password was guessed (12345? haha) by some Australian guy and he used your account to wreak a bunch of havoc, and we had to restore the entire forum from a backup.

That's, er, worrying. Obviously GAF is bigger and better now though (right)

 

[IamMattFox]

I've been registered and an active lurker semi-poster on this site for nearly five years, which makes Gaf my longest visited board.

Feels weird man.

 

[Zeliard]

Damn this thread is bringing out some Real Talk™

 

[Neuromancer]

I'd take any tag I could get

Be careful what you wish for

 

[LaserBuddha]

I just spent two hours reading this thread. I... kind of.. like you guys...

Hug me...

 

[TheExodu5]

wat

 

[ZedIndyLil]

I like the happy touchy-feely GAF threads. Helps cleanse the palate.

Although it would be funny if some wag mod went into a cat pic thread and started handing out 1-hour bans for no reason.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

If the user numbers are up to around 79.5K like OpinionatedCyborg says, but there are 65K active users, then that leaves around 14,000 profiles that are either banned or not activated. Right?

Here is what's weird:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/member.php?u=79020 <- registered but not activated? or banned before allowed in? glitch?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/member.php?u=79500 <- registered and activated
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/member.php?u=80000 <- no registrations beyong this point

in any case, I'm guessing it's around 80k registrations.

 

[jett]

Segata ragequit because people were jumping on him for being negative about DKC2. Ridiculous fanboys who hate negativity make Amir0x mad

That was his excuse, but the real reason he quit is because Dragona did.

 

[EviLore]

Okay, this is getting way too group-huggy. Break it up, kids.

I'm testing for my BJJ blue belt in a few days

 

[DMeisterJ]

If we're talking about tags, is there a way to find out who gives them out? I'd really like to know who thinks I'm a dumbass who makes terrible posts, and should shut the fuck up. I'm sure there are multiple people who think that (hopefully they aren't paid to think), but I wanna know who made that tag for me.

 

[Boogie]

That's, er, worrying. Obviously GAF is bigger and better now though (right)

Well, it's bigger. ;P

 

[ConradCervantes]

I'd take any tag I could get

Then you'd get one akin to Pimpbaa's tag.

 

[Mileena]

Be careful what you wish for

I ain't no pussy

 

[Mike Works]

I think Stump may have just died

My password wasn't actually 12345! This isn't Spaceballs!

I do remember what my GAF password used to be though, and I have no idea how it was guessed. It was just one word with no numbers, but it wasn't exactly common or anything.

Fucking Australians.

Okay, this is getting way too group-huggy. Break it up, kids.

Cops suck.

 

[Az]

Ey, I got mind control over Evilore.
He be like stfu.
I'll be quiet.
But when that Admin leave, I'll be talking again.

 

[Londa]

I'd take any tag I could get

Would you take "Donkey Balls" as a tag?

OH NO U DI'NT!

I'm so making some image of you now.

I really hope it's PG 13 and under.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I'm curious. Who's banned the most posters: EviLore, bishoptl, or someone else? Given bish's legacy and numerous banned gifs in his name, I have to ask.

Well, only Admins can change tags so I guess one of them?

 

[IamMattFox]

Additionally, I would like to know if the future Gaf Bucks can be traded for illicit drugs on the underground internet.

 

[Shurs]

IN IRC with Costanza right now and well

" Evilore has that Red Scarlet story all wrong. All she gave me were the details of Darkpen's banning because he had been lying to me about what really happened. I confronted him, and he went to Kagari whining because I wouldn't give up my source. She wasn't giving me fucking personal information on users."

I find it interesting that someone who has been a member here since February of this year is in IRC with a former member who was banned over a year ago.

Small world.

duckroll

That's my guess. At least, I'm pretty sure he's banned me quite a few times.

Duck.

 

[TheSeks]

Evilore, did you give me this tag? If so, thanks. I like it.

I'm curious if Dragona is the one that gave me my tag or Bish. Either way, it's a GAF moment for me because I wasn't more than a Junior Member of about 24-72 hours and I suddenly had a tag from the David Bowie thread for criticizing other peoples posts because they looked nothing like David Bowie except in hair style.

Went to sleep, came back and had a tag. I was like "WHAT THE FUCK!?" and laughed at it for a good five minutes.

I honestly don't.

GAF's Ronald Reagan.

(USER WAS BANNED FOR POLI-GAF REPUBLICAN JOKE)

 

[Nelo Ice]

mods can give out tags cuz im pretty sure i got mine from blackace

 

[Esch]

I'll take group huggy GAF over 'Gaborn posts another story about a baby getting raped to death vengeful GAF'.

 

[Londa]

Small world.

Maybe a second account of a banned member.

Who wouldn't?

 

[NihonTiger90]

Caught up on this thread and boy, did I learn a lot.

Wow at the tag lol

Awfully risky...

Sounds about right. I'm sure a large number of GAF accounts are held by lurkers. My brother has held an account for almost two years, but is too afraid to post. I think he posted in one of my essential rpg threads once, but he'll be a junior forever. I'm sure a large number of members fall into that category.

 

[Boogie]

I'm testing for my BJJ blue belt in a few days

Sweet, good luck!

I've never gotten my purple because I've trained inconsistently and gym-hopped around for the past four years. Train for four months, stop for four months because of work, switch gyms, train for two months, injure knee for five months, that sort of thing.

I'm back on the wagon again, maybe purple will finally be in my sights soon.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I know this going to sound like a back-handed compliment, but it's actually really cool to see Evilore in here posting so earnestly. In all my years here I've never seen it! Everything is so warm and friendly, it's peachy.

 

[xbhaskarx]

I'd have to guess EviLore for this one. I can't see Bish typing such eloquence.

There are 2,580 current perms.

Pretty good at basketball, as I recall.

Someone needs to tell me how Blackstallion got banned. I was registered back then, but not nearly as active :/

This is a great thread, I love looking back at GAF history.

:O You heard it here folks. Search is coming back!

Hallelujah!

Backstory on Dragona and Scarlet

I had no idea about this. Scarlet was a pretty nice mod and Dragona kept the casual misogyny to a minimum from what I can recall. Kinda sad to hear what happened.

Also, thanks for keeping us in the loop. I honestly didn't expect to hear these kinds of details from you.
