Yeah that's not going to happen. Did you think for some reason I wouldn't see this post:Me andCatLady can do some kinky neogaf advertising
No amount of Doritos or Mountain Dew is getting you out of this one, Mr. Blue Snake of Whooping.
On Topic: I do my part on NeoGAF Ads. I've never used an AdBlocker here and since I'm a dumbshit, I frequently click on them by accident.
I'm not a big fan of GAF gold, don't like the auto-updating and don't care about the other perks. I DO like the idea of Patreon and a sticky topic at the top each page with a list of affiliate links

Well wherever you are and whatever language is your native tongue, the word will still be pronounced "kleek" because its a loan word from French
I'm just trying to help you with future dating, women will think you are a submental and never call you again if you pronounce it that way.Thanks Frank Horrigan, Thorrigan.

I know. TBH, my first reply to your first post was going to be:
"thanks for the clarifcation, cunt" but i wasn't sure if that was going to be taken as light-hearted as I wanted it to be.

Free advertising is not good adversiting my friend. I also hate to tell you this but how do you think any website or youtube channel stays afloat? Should I also give the keys to the apartment where the money is stored ? Come on dude lol.
I do not work for free, done enough of that in my life. Do you want to work for free for me?

If you really like this place and have a platform that can help it, the sane thing to do is to help the site out for free instead of saying "hey pay me some money and I'll help you."Free advertising is not good adversiting my friend.

I was thinking gif avatars, too. Also perhaps customizable titles. Instead of it only being something assigned by staff, Gold let's you change it yourself.
Maybe, also as a Gold benefit, animated avatar borders, like on Steam.
Maybe, if supported by the software, also as a Gold benefit, the ability to embed a link to a little audio quip in or near your avatar, that you could manually record. Someone clicks the icon by your avatar or in your profile, and they hear your quip.
Maybe some kind of monthly raffle. $10 per ticket on a PS5 or GPU or something. Something pricey or hard to get. Or a 50/50 like at sporting events.
Maybe monthly buy-in game competitions? Pick a game, elimination bracket, 32 participants, $10 to participate, $100 prize, GAF keeps the rest?

I been lurking Gaf since the early 2010s and yes I do like it. Just because someone likes something dude doesn't mean that they are obligated to do stuff for free.
Neogaf is not being ran by a family member or someone that's close to me. That would have been different. No sane business will do stuff for you for free whether they really like what they are offering or not.
I am not sure where you are getting with this to be fair. I could give a discount sure, but that's about it. Just because I chill here and talk doesn't mean I am here to throw free hook ups.
Also, don't try to bait people into trying to paint them as selfish individuals, it looks really bad on you and you come of as a narcissist by attempting to manipulate people.
No offense dude but I do not think you have any clue how any business entity operates. Either that ot your just trolling me.
With that being said, want to be my video editor and work for me for free? Come on now dude be a good person, we've been friends for a while now!
Do you see how dumb this sounds dude?

I ran a very large Marvel site with a YouTube channel that had nearly as many subs as you do. If I still had the site and channel I would've promoted GAF on both for FREE, because I love this place and don't want to see anything happen to it.

Ok, that's fine that's your personal choice. Seems like the YouTube and website you ran was more about a hobby rather than also a business.
I have my channel and website because I like money and i like video games. Plain and simple, and at the end of the day I am a business guy, its what I enjoy doing and seeing $$$ signs is important to me.
Why do you not run the channel or website anymore? What happened
Would I be disappointed if something happens to this place? Sure. But I have to take care of myself. Neogaf doesn't supply me with bread and financial security lol.
If I was rich, then I wouldn't really care and probably donate a decent grip but I am not in that position.

Here’s an idea. When we have review threads you can post afíliate links to the games. I use Amazon all the time and would definitely use your links to help out.

Create a template for them and just add it to the OP of each review thread with links for the game at each site there's an affiliate link for.

That’s the idea. I use reviews to help make my decision and having a link to buying the title would be the next logical step.

I think extending subscription option to different tier would be a good idea. Like NeoGAF Silver, Gold, Platinum, for like 2-3$, 5$ and 7-8$. So that access to forum, creating account and posting is free, but things like reaction emojis are locked behind Silver tier, which maybe also gives you some of current Gold functionality like the instand updates, Gold tier remains as it is, with no ads, plus additional emojis, and Platinum, I don't know really, but I think different tiers that add additional functionality within the forum would be a good direction rather than reaching outside support like Patreon etc.

Site got popular again when it started turning away from the things that made it fail in the first place. It wasn't ERA and it was cool.
Then more power hungry mods came in again - popular forums were nuked - took ERAs approach to almost everything again and back begging for help. Even shit on me & told me you didn't want my Gold subscription which is why I stopped coming. Can't even post your disapproval of companies lol. Go woke go broke.

Another thing we could look into is an in-forum economy with its own currency that you can buy but also earn via referral, good posts, gifs and being basically a good member of the community.
GAFcoin™ can be used to redeem neogaf gold, NeoGAF merch™, gift cards, steamgames, forum features (autoupdate for a period of time, cooldown removal/reduction etc etc.

Banning people reduces traffic. My suggestion to ban commenting on threads with only specific tags wouldn’t change the site.

It could be kept exactly the same if those dividers are run through the existing tagging system.
Just free advertising for your channel.

What time is it?
While your idea is good, moderation isn't an exact science and the end goal should be to foster a healthy community and banning is a viable tool. Just looking at the ban logs, we are seeing 1-5 bans a day which a proverbial drop in the bucket. If the minor traffic generated from banned users is going to make or break the site, we are probably not long for this world.
We don't jump into Perma bans often, only when there is a very firm line (blatant racism, typically) that is crossed. Many people you see permed on the ban page are people who have had countless slaps on the wrist, formal warnings, reply bans, and numerous temporary bans to try and correct their attitude/actions.
Every ban we discuss in mod channels. It is never just a one off ban made by one mod. Its a culmination of numerous discussions from everyone on the team. If you are ever confused and the ban page/user's post history doesn't make sense you can always message one of us and we can help explain our decisions better.

Unfortunately, some of the biggest activity comes from warriors. And console warrioring is a shit disturbing tactic. That's why the Console War Thunderdome thread barely got used. It's hard for warriors to piss people off in a dedicated thread of stupidity. They like to do it in normal threads catching people off guard. One of the mods made it exclusively for warriors to go nuts and say whatever they want but that thread died fast.
One idea to keep warriors around is maybe sticky that Thunderdome thread in the Communities or OT tab and unban permed users so they can only post there. It'll still give them a way to battle it out and still be active. I'm positive if they were relegated to that thread many of them will show up. And I'm sure some non-warriors might join in. Even though that thread didnt fare great, at least it still gives people a place to vent. And a stickied thread lets people see the action for laughs. Warriors stuck in that thread would go mental even more for attention leading to more laughs.
There is one big drawback though. People cut and pasting those kinds of posts into a normal game thread muddying it up, where their warrior allies would post their content in normal threads so the banned user is still there in spirit even though they didnt post it there themselves.

It's a gaming forum, it goes hand in hand. That's their choice. Part of the forum is to fill it out with game news, reviews and discuss it.
Guess what, so does IGN and plenty of other gianorums websites get free traffic.
With how massive they are millions and millions viewers per month, why is IGN not supplying NeoGaf and plenty of other gaming forums with a contract and a portion of $$$ for the traffic exchange?
I see what you are trying to do, but your not very good at it. Move along dude.

On one hand you ask to bring back people that act like children, then turn around and say this place is for adults.
Which is it?
Simply pointing out that no, NEOGAF does not give you nothing, as you implied.
Not for nothing, but I've reached out while banned and didn't get a response back in any situation. I can see PM'ing someone after the fact, but by that point, no one really cares.
