Support NeoGAF

[Mod of War: Remastered]

What labor? They volunteered for free. They got played by themselves believing that commie utopia bullshit.

As a wise man once said:

I get paid in candy corns!

 

[JackMcGunns]

I hope this doesn't mean they try to migrate back over here. Thank god some of them nuked their accounts before they left.

Also, noticing a lot unfamiliar faces in this thread.

 

[GeorgPrime]

Now we can watch the whole site and their crazy, sometimes mental sick, staff trying to escape reality by making up stuff to feel better for themselves.

As soon as they hard reality will be thrown into their faces they will just scatter like a dark room full of cockroaches while somebody is turning on the light.

Ok.. honest question:

How is Taysan doing?

 

[Chiggs]

Why waste bandwidth on something like that? Okay, they didn’t get paid to do their job, that’s on them. They could’ve walked away at any stage, but they chose to stay. Which means they chose to carry on unpaid. And that’s what makes it worse, they weren’t being paid to be racist, sexist, homophobic, pedophilic pieces of shit - they were that way because they enjoyed it. If you want to support a pedophile through GoFundMe, go ahead - but don’t drag NeoGAF’s name through it with you.

Because there's nothing more offensive--and hilarious---than smug charity, especially when it comes from OMG ALT RIGHT NEOGAF.

 

[lmimmfn]

Sooo sweet!!!!!!

 

[Arimer]

Man I can't wait to watch this implosion.

 

[Ionian]

Mmm.

Era dude.

EZero to do but respect you for staying the yard.

Can't have been easy.

Era dude, was always on the cards,

You appear to have professionalism and greed mixed up. There’s no way in hell the site is worth 4.5M, not even on a good day. People only bought into the premise of it because it was being toted as GAF 2.0 with a more relaxed community feel. But when push came to shove, it was GAF 0.5 - a step back. There’s nothing professional there - or nothing professional about posting the news at midnight - the whole thing is a shambles.

Would be like saying 'Something Awful' was worth millions.

Total nonsense.

 

[Star-Lord]

I get you wanting to be smug in their faces — and I’m all for that — but I’d rather not waste a single penny on them.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Serious question for EviLore : do you mind if I start a GoFundMe for the ResetEra moderators using "on behalf of NeoGAF"?

I think it would be the charitable thing to do.

Only if you also take the money and run.

I get paid in candy corns!

You got to put food on the table my dude.

 

[Yoboman]

Just a litle corection here but fascist are far right and are the archrival of communist ( far left)

To add on to this:

Communism is the ideal of collectivism - everyone having power in the direction of the state and sharing wealth. It is the opposite to capitalism more than fascism

Fascism is a dictatorship

Two opposite ends of the spectrum

The problem for Communism is it has never really existed and always just been the pretty marketing for regimes that end up authoritarian

You can't really judge purely on the left to right spectrum when speaking about authoritarianism because you can 100% have an authoritarian left wing (USSR) or right wing (WW2 Italy)

 

[Papacheeks]

I get paid in candy corns!

Dude, candy corn is the worst candy. I would take Mike&ike or Hot tamales I could eat a whole bag of those.

 

[Coolwhhip]

But really can someone explain me the thought proces of MOBA? Surely they could see an implosion of users coming by buying a forum filled with communist nutjobs?

 

[bender]

I get paid in candy corns!

Talk about getting fucked.

 

[Velius]

Did MOBA Network see that before paying?

Why do you think they made the investment to begin with??

 

[DeepEnigma]

Their mods did get paid, by American tax payers.

 

[Swift_Star]

Just a quick side note, Leftism is authoritarianism. Right wing slides towards freedom, with the furthest right being anarchists. Thats why when people say "Right wing Nazi" it's a contradiction in terms meant to masquerade the fact that Socialism, Communism, Authoritarianism, Fascism, Totalitarianism, etc. are sliding scales on the left side of the political spectrum. And of course the left doesn't want to be associated with that, even though that's what it is. Go look at the political side burning books (attempting to censor ideas), calling for things like "vaccine passports" (papers please anyone?). These are the actions of the left wing political spectrum and and that can be categorized as either authoritarian or fascism. It's freaking hilarious that Wikipedia actually lists facism as a "far right" form of government. A fascist, controlling, govt. is about as far left as you get. Again, very simple. Sliding to the left, in favor of more govt control. Sliding to the right, in favor of more individual freedom. State <-> individual. Very simple. Back to the thread.

You're 100% wrong but you do you.

 

[CherryFalls]

No, they aren't. I know wikipedia says so, but no. The idea that because socialism and facism are in competition with each other means one is left an the other is right, is completely false. Facism is absolutely a far left ideology completely in line with authoritarian govt control. I don't want to get too deep into this, but just go do a little research on this, and not just ones that try to say it's a far right ideology. It's not. Go read on its history, where it came from, etc. Just remember the sliding scale of control <-> freedom, left <-> right. Anyway, like I said, back to the thread.

I don't think its that simple, ideologies can't just be shoved somewhere on a straight horizontal line to the left or right.

Oh look, history revisionism right here, folks. I thought political discussion were banned from this forum, weren't it?

 

[Star-Lord]

And pedophiles.

People always forget the pedophiles.

WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE PEDOPHILES?

 

[Puskas]

The sight of seeing the REEE mods being in the denial stage is just absolutely beautiful.

I assume that the site will slowly implode like evey degenerate commie shit hole.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Oh look, history revisionism right here, folks. I thought political discussion were banned from this forum, weren't it?

It is. Take it to twitter.

 

[Halo is Back]

Stop the political discussion before this wonderful thread gets locked

 

[Fake]

Is useless trying to understand this Hecht. He is disoriented person and get banned from Twitter for saying things out of context, paranoia and conspiracy theories.

 

[Coolwhhip]

Maybe Evilore should sell to MOBA too. GAF and Reeee could merge then, like good old times.

If it weren't for the 4.55 million, you'd be coming out on top in this scenario.

[ultrazilla]

I understand if you want to lock this thread, mods/Evilore.

It's interesting news though.

M.O.B.A. Network acquires ResetEra.com - one of the world's largest gaming forums​

M.O.B.A. Network has today acquired ResetEra.com, one of the world's largest gaming forum and community brands, which has great growth potential. With the acquisition, M.O.B.A. Network's portfolio expands its reach globally with approximately 60 million page views per month.


ResetEra.com was founded in 2017 and has grown rapidly with a committed audience. Sales in the last twelve months (up to and including 31 August) amounted to approximately USD 700,000 with an EBITDA margin of approximately 80%. The purchase price amounts to USD 4.55 million and will be paid in cash in two tranches, where USD 3.55 million has been paid upon closing, and USD 1 million will be paid by 31 December 2021.

ResetEra.com's revenue is generated through ads and member subscriptions. M.O.B.A. Network sees significant opportunities to increase advertising revenue through a higher share of direct sales, implementation of new ad formats, and a long-term product development strategy. M.O.B.A. Network, therefore, estimates that ResetEra.com can grow sales significantly in 2022 while maintaining an EBITDA margin.

With ResetEra.com, M.O.B.A. Network gets a strong, global community brand and access to a very active discussion forum with over 45 million forum posts and about 55,000 members. The discussion topics on ResetEra.com are broad and cover all kinds of games and platforms such as consoles, PC, and mobile games, which expands the M.O.B.A. Network's position in the gaming industry. ResetEra.com's core values are "inclusivity and diversity," and the community sets high demands for approving membership. The core values and the high membership requirements are also essential to M.O.B.A. Network.

The operational team that runs ResetEra will continue to moderate and engage with the community and work with M.O.B.A. Network on future product development.

"We are very excited and proud to welcome ResetEra.com - one of the world's largest gaming forum and community brands - to our growing number of brands," said Björn Mannerqvist, CEO of M.O.B.A. Network. "ResetEra.com has great growth potential, and we see significant opportunities to develop ResetEra.com, continue to grow traffic flows, improve the sales development and extract synergies within the M.O.B.A. Group."

"ResetEra.com is another step in our strategy to grow through acquisitions and create more relevant communities with attractive, growing target groups that many companies want to expose themselves to," said Björn Mannerqvist.

They got what they deserved. Suckers, all of them while "Cerium" literally takes the money and runs.

Heard cerium left them coloring books, crayons, pacifiers and service animals to help them cope in their safe space.

Talk about copium

Probably a Xbox warrior.

 

[Rat Rage]

Haha, this guy really believes "the volunteer stuff" will have any power to go against any policy changes. The new site owners will simply replace them with new moderators and admins - CHECKMATE you idiots!

 

[SlimySnake]

I dont get the whole outrage over cirium taking the money. I know I would. If Evillore took $4.5 million and sold it, I would be happy for him. He wouldve earned his big paycheck especially after resurrecting the forum a second time. Why would I harbor any ill will towards someone making money?

Where cirium and Evillore differ is how they went about it all. Cirium stole 50k users evillore had spent years cultivating. He doesnt deserve a single cent of those $4.5 million. Hope Evilore sues his ass.

If Evillore gets a chance to become a multimillionare overnight then I'd be all for it.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

This entire saga.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

I’ve just bought the domain name ‘itsshitERA’

Why don't you guys just let it die?

YOU CANT REPLACE ME I QUIT! (Didn't quit drinking tho).

Taysan hang in there buddy.

Why don't you guys just let it die?

Because Taysan. He is like Sora from Kingdom Hearts, connecting everyone hearts no matter the forum.

 

[TVexperto]

lol cereium is just a member now

also era clear was the biggest scam from the beginning ... cant believe they paid for a site that makes700k a year

BIG YIKES

 

[Saber]

Catching up now. Some quality stuff here.

Quality indeed. Who would guess members would have the courage to roast mods for their useless work, abusing powers, being pedos, etc. Too bad people like him won't last long there lmao

TaySan is a little weasel

Taysan being Taysan?

 

[UnNamed]

This meltdown on Era, for many user there, is like the five stages of mourning but reversed:

-acceptance: It's ok, good for Cerium;
-depression: Resetera was the only place where I can feel safe, so now?
-bargaining: Maybe things will be the same with the new bosses;
-anger: fucker, you sold us for dollars;
-denial: it can't be true Cerium did this to us;

 

[GulfCoastZilla]

I think they'll just pull an ERA on ERA.

Most of them would rather be forum-less for a week rather than coming back to what they consider a hive of scumm and villainy.

A few more level-headed people may come here, but they'll leave once they realize this place re-posts leaks and news, rather than post them.

I mean half the time the leaks over there are just reposts as well from Reddit or twitter.

they have leakers that said silent hill and bloodbourne remake have been coming for 3 years now and a bunch of other stuff that never comes true.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

But really can someone explain me the thought proces of MOBA? Surely they could see an implosion of users coming by buying a forum filled with communist nutjobs?

This is the strange part in all of this - didn't they see the kind of antagonistic, 'stuck in my own fortress, where everyone outside is out to get me' community they are inheriting?

Except you don't need step 4 anymore here

Step 4 reveal yourself and get rich!
