    NeoGAF Suffers a Meltdown after the Site Owner is Exposed for Sexual Assault

    Tyler Malka / Evilore goes on a deletion and banning spree after being Exposed during the #MeToo Campaign, Mods/Admins flee the site
    Tyler Malka has been accused several times in the past of sexual misconduct, even himself allegedly boasting about grabbing women without their consent. It seems like the latest allegation was enough to make Malka take matters in his own hands, shutting up all conversation about the scandal on the forums, and his fellow moderators are not having it.

    Just like with everything on the internet, a little digging is necessary to see the authenticity of certain claims; especially those in dealing with dire topics such as sexual assault. When the topic of NeoGAF and how they handle situations like this came up, one user took to a forum to explain that the post above is in fact real, and this is why we should care:



    Many continue to bring up his past association with a previous moderator that was later arrested for child pornography. Malka distanced himself from the offender, though donations to him from Malka himself continued to come to light.

    Yeah, this has been an entertaining trainwreck to follow all day.

    The site's completely shut down at the moment. Evilore locked every thread about the incident throughout the early/mid afternoon before it fully exploded, vaguely saying a statement was incoming (hasn't come yet).

    He was still locking threads and banning people without posting himself up until a couple hours ago. lmao

    Looks like a forum was set up for GAF refugees called geonaf, but it has already been taken down. Lots of bigger names covering the story now, but all of the information is the same.

    I'm in the gaf discord. They're working on a new official forum for refugees by previous staff, I believe, maybe up later tonight.

    /v/ is clamping down on discussions, telling people to take it to /pol/ and they'll be banned if they post anything on v.

    The schadenfreude from NeoGAF imploding is truly delicious.

    Is BG even a video game site anymore?

    I'm pretty sure the PC principle thread gets more activity than the entire XIV section.

    XI section is the hot mmo section atm. Otherwise, we are a mobile games site.

    We're the YT comments site, let's be honest.

    More generally, I'd say it is.

    Specific to XIV, I'd say it's more a consequence of the game being self-contained. Unlike XI, you don't have an NPC that suddenly asks for 300 of Satan's Taint Hair, only no one knows how to spawn Satan, let alone the drop rate. Thus, the need for discussion isn't nearly as required.
