Neogaf's site owner has recently been accused of a second account of sexual harassment. Now the site is currently down after all the admins left, and once the users who were silenced began to speak out.
To everyone who's wondering how this information exposed which caused a shitstorm, I'd like to take a moment and say you're welcome ;D

its really hard with its echo chamber, you got banned for having opposing views and alot of people hate the website for for it
including people in the gaming industry
(example)
it also was really into diversity and empowering women, which make these allegations really sweet with irony
So its some shitty newb site thats even worse than 4chan? I didn't even know something worse than 4chan was possible. Glad I never heard of it and that its dead now.
It's a shame tbh. Old website that dug up a lot of cool things from time to time.

Yes old. Besides 11 years is pretty old for websites to still be around. I'm sure most people here would call 4chan old. Guess what? That is only 3 years older than the Neogaf name.
Seeing it for the first time; it looks like a generic craphole forum that would have never gained traction if it didn't first appear in the late 90s. It's very bland and rudimentary so it's even less visually appealing than an InvisionFree board with all default settings.
The best that site owner could hope for is to take the eBaum's World route of selling his site to the nearest "entrepreneur" because it will never be on the incline again. It needs a new paint job, features that aren't just the absolute elementary bare-bones necessities that make a forum function and a PR overhaul.
