So he's seriously expecting to stay at the helm and for things to carry on just as normal? What a strawberry floating moron :lol:

Interesting that his solution to this is to just carry on and to remove the off topic board. I really don't think that's what people want! :slol:

he two have not spoken in years, according to Malka. He called Leupp "a deeply disturbed, malicious individual," a characterization Leupp, in an interview with me today, attributed to Malka's attempts to gaslight people over his own behavior.

"It's been a perfect storm of misanthropy and opportunism," said Malka, who described the accusations as "totally ridiculous and baseless."

As for the incident described by Leupp, Malka called it "totally harmonious and consensual."


Malka further criticized Leupp for reportedly taking down her Facebook post, after the allegations began circulating, as evidence she was making the story up or exaggerating certain details of the encounter.


He claims she had "two separate public mental breakdowns" before the trip was over. These breakdowns, insisted Malka, were related to a "history of serious mental illness."



He really isn't helping himself by going on the attack like this, even if every word he was saying were true all this is going to accomplish is further rallying people against him. I have to question the wisdom of speaking to a journalist directly like this rather than through a lawyer. Especially before he's released any kind of official statement that was promised to the community.
It doesn't help Leupp's argument that she entered into a consensual sexual relationship with him after, that will almost certainly be used against her by his supporters (You wouldn't think he had any left but, y'know, the internet), but it doesn't excuse EviLore's actions one bit.

That's a confusing article. Is it saying the victim had sex with him a few months after the shower incident? The paragraph after that seems to have a denial from her?

The running of NeoGaf sounds an absolute mess.

She doesn't deny they had sex at some point, she denies they had sex specifically whilst at E3 together.

Bad situation really. I mean it's safe to assume he's been a scumbag to numerous people, this is just a single account. I liked reading GAF. Its an immense resource for breaking news. But if GAF existing means Tyler can use its rep to be skeezy then bye I guess.

I don't know any of these people. Whilst it's doubtful that someone would lie about this, likewise should a person be damned outside of a court of law?

Also, why is the website down if just a few mods have quit?

What a f*cking mess. That's all I'm going to say. And now, because "Evilore", ban hammers are going to come down even more often for stupid sh-t; even more easily than they were. But it doesn't matter. It'll probably sink. Leupp probably didn't want to "ruin his life" or to "call him out" but sharing that hashtag sure did that. She's not bright, you knew full well once you put any name to the story that sh-t's going to come down. Ugh.

Threads in both Gaming and Off Topic were being created non-stop calling out EviLore as a scumbag, members quitting, every existing thread was getting derailed, it was more or less pointless being there.
There's also the potential for legal issues with it being discussed somewhere so openly I'd imagine.

It doesn't look good at all how hostile he's being in that interview, comes across as a complete banana split unsurprisingly.

I like how he thinks just getting rid of the Off Topic section will mean normal service resumed. Everyone now knows what kind of person he is and that will never go away.

Oh the poor mods nearly resigned over the peado mod. Poor them.

This is why the mods on there are the biggest hypocrites and banana splits.

"As for me, I have no reason to go hide under a rock," he said. "I'll be at the helm as I always have."


This alone probably ensures a huge chunk of the user base aren't going to come back.
It's also practically advertiser suicide. What large companies are going to want their advertisements to be associated with NeoGaf right now?

They had a large team of mods and admins and, going by the archive of the site from shortly before it was taken off line, they all left apart from Evilore and one other. There's no way they would have been able to manage all the fallout from this, the place would have been a mess.

My brain cells have died reading that he is going to carry on like nothing happened.

I suppose he feels that doing anything other than carrying on as normal would be an admission of guilt in some way.

Quite a few seem fine with the mail so will be fine on that front.

Who the hell would want to moderate that place now? Will he be doing background checks to make sure he doesn't give mod duties to more paedos?

The only thing working for him is that it takes ages to get accepted there. So some people will think twice before creating more Half life 3 reveal threads plus you can't create threads even when you are a junior member.

Doing away with offtopic is not going to make a difference. One of my pet hates going there was how they moaned about a game when it didn't have a transgender black character. It was hilarious that they were demanding that Nintendo make Link a girl.

Didn’t really care for the Off-topic part of GAF anyway but it will be interesting if they get rid of it altogether
