Dyack banned from NeoGAF after “worst forum” comments

Well, again, I really can’t say I give two shits about NeoGAF.

It’s very easy to laugh at a public face when you have anonymity to hide behind. And banning your critics is not the same as dealing with criticsm.

Slamming the door on people just because you’re unable to tolerate a fraction of the kind of shit you merrily dish out shows that NeoGAF has far less sense of humour than anyone else in this debacle.

No doubt, the internet loltards will cheer for NeoGAF’s double standards and painfully manipulative rhetoric. By responding the way they have they simply add a lot of weight to Dyack’s argument.

Double standards = INSTAFAIL

Serious stuff.

“But what we’re also seeing is for the people who don’t like it, generally just don’t get it. And it’s because we’ve created something so innovative and different.”

So basically, because I didn’t like the demo, I didn’t get it?

Right.

I’m sure the Microsoft PR department is having a field-day with this guy.

I can’t decide….

NeoGAF can be a trifle, especially with the anonymity, but it’s also a democracy.

So firstly it’s not everyone on NeoGAF, in fact in the many threads, I saw people backing him up.

Denis however has lashed out and insulted NeoGAF as a whole, and has also kind of lead them along with ‘social experiments’. Perhaps if he were truthful, he wouldn’t come across so stupid.

NeoGAF is fucking awful. It’s the arse-end of the internet, where all the shit gathers. It’s a total embarrassment to gamers everywhere.

I am not on there, but I want to back it up, becuase I know of very fair people who go there. I think it’s the insular mob mentality that comes with it, that makes it appear quite negative – infact more than appear.

I don’t know. I think I will focus on commentign the gamign articles, but this was a dramatic one.

Well, Psychotext goes there whenever he’s not banned (:D) and he’s alright. I’m not tarring everyone with the same brush, but generally NeoGAF is shit.

I know plenty of decent folks on GameFAQs, but I’m sure most people here wouldn’t consider those to be good forums.

Heh, never cared for the GAF but hat’s off to the response to his constant stream of bullshit.

I’ve never even been to NeoGAF. I take it I’m not missing much?

Hahah ecu, yes, I think that’s summed up. Fair people don’t all clump together. Which is why it’s unfair of your you generalise in some ways. But I totally get what you mean.

Especially with the comparison to GameFAQs.

Made me laugh though… first post in that thread was:

“No, he’s pretty much right.”

I have little experience of either NeoGAF or Dyack, but I think the old saying applies here: “If you’ve nothing good to say, don’t say anything.”

Neither party looks good. A professional silence would be far preferable. Now I’m actively turned away from both Dyack’s game and the NeoGAF forums.

It really doesn’t apply. that bloody saying is ridiculously stupid.

serious stuff indeed

Me too, I have little to no knowledge of either NeoGAF or Mr. Dyack. But I’d like to ask the following question. What’s worse: abuse or double standards?

There’s no REAL claim of double standards.

It’s just a little retort for those who want to hate on NeoGAF. People have other reasons for hatign Dyack. I think they are both stupid, but I won’t avoid involvement if I come across either.

I will still be at NeoGAF, althoguh as usual, a lurker. And I shall still play Dyack’s games, if I like them. Or own the correct console.

@ No_PUDding
“… I think they are both stupid …”

Agreed! *ducks*
But I did not have the guts to say so …

But the point is I won’t be close minded about it. I think what they did was stupid, but mob mentality drove GAF, and Denis is hurt by his project being torn apart – he’s lashing out.

Both very human reactions, so I think maybe I should have worded that differently. How both parties reacted, was stupid. But you get that .

Ahh so melodramatic.

NeoGAF… blah. The septic tank of the gaming world i say!

EviLore’s buddies at the call center are going to be really impressed when he tells them about this.

NeoGAF can be a trifle, especially with the anonymity, but it’s also a democracy.

Forums are not a democracy, they are a dictatorship. A few high-ranking individuals make laws that the masses must follow.

Abitrarily changing/breaking laws just because you can take a cheap shot at one of your critics says far more about your own position than it does your targets.

NeoGAF won’t let me in. I’ve been trying to get on there for years. My reputation obviously precedes me.

Take pride Blerk – exclusion from the ranks of mediocrity!

/starts own forum

Hey guyz, join my forum!! You can all be admins!!

I only want in so that I can use the search.

It is a bit odd. I’d have thought they’d just make it so unapproved posters can’t post… but can use the other functionality.

Fuck me, can you imagine what a forum run by Phil would be like? Yeesh…

Dyack had it coming – the banning, not the totally unjustifiable way DuckRoll and a few other mods slammed Too Human for lulz.

At the end of the day, Too Human is only a good-but-not-spectacular game; Dyack’s mouth had written cheques his arse couldn’t cash and now he’s paying the price.

Phil, I really hope Free Rad don’t make you a spokesperson, or you could find yourself in similarly dire straits.
