What's the point? They feel better about themselves.

Not surprised. Gaf has been alienating people more and more over time. Why post on a forum where you and your posts can be moderated out of existence for the most petty reasons. Theres no respect for the userbase at all. Everyone is treated like an irritation unless they go along with the prescribed allowed opinions. Says it all that they partake in member culls and even use it as a ban reason.

I really only use GAF as a source of gaming news.
A few years ago, a friend and I started joking on how quickly the hivemind would change their minds on video games.
I.E.
"This game is game of the generation, easily."
six months later
"By far the biggest disappointment of 201x. What were they thinking? Borderline unplayable."
Uncharted 3 and BioShock Infinite are great examples. Both received INCREDIBLE praise from both journalists and Gaffers alike upon release.
Nowadays, any thread you see where they even mention those games, you'll see a significant amount of people claiming how terrible they allegedly were. It's absurd.
They have shifting opinions about individual titles every several months. Not only that, but they'll randomly throw out LTTP or "Is it me, or is this one of the best games ever made?" and name some random ass title that gains massive traction. Shifting hivemind. Suddenly, Yoshi's Island is the best game of all time. Next week, it's Super Mario Galaxy 2. Okay.
But lately it's not even about the games anymore. It's mostly about the SJW garbage, and random threads about daily life occurrences that explode in the Off Topic section. It's no wonder more and more people are getting fed up.

Tyler's on his way to killing off his meal ticket.

Not to mention all the pedophile reports. Who is going to invest that kind of money into a site like NeoGAF.com with all the pedophile members sharing CP through the PM systems. If the FBI caught a whiff of that they could get the whole site shut down.

Gawker might bite, but I heard they lost a lot of advertisers recently :-(

You know he has his portfolio diversified. GAF is all about the money for Tyler, and it always has been.

I used WaybackMachine to get the data.
They used to have an "active users" count (which would be more useful) but it seems like they got rid of that.

That's not what's happening. Everyone is just busy playing the library of great exclusives on their Sony® PlayStation 4's™! Greatness Awaits™!

What a coincidence that this sub is a little over 12 months old too.

As is (sorry, guys) GamerGate. And GG is remarkably hostile to NeoGAF.

It also got hundreds of people banned
