Support NeoGAF

The plot thickens…

Weird when these guys were fully marketing to everybody migrate to ERA lol
They even contacted me personally (let me use my personal mail to create an account).

PS. Of course I was perm banned for saying MS was doing Sony marketing when they were heavy marketing Rise of Tomb Raider on second holiday around the release of the game on PS4 lol

She was one of the main pied pipers.

So the admins had shares in the company too years back, but Cerium bought them out?

Give Cerium credit. Not only did he make bank of Reeee not even being an active part of the site, he even convinced the others to sell their stake in the site to him and they all agreed. No doubt for dirt cheap too. Idiots. You dont buy out people's shares for no reason.

It's no different than people buying stocks on their own. You do it because you want it to go up in value and then cash out later. And it did. And he's out.

If the old mods all left because they wanted to get paid, then it shows Cerium said no, and he found other people to take over for free. Capitalism works. Now they understand why places scrape by paying bare minimum $10/hr then being good hearted paying $30/hr. And it's not like Reeee was losing money. The final year he made $700k sales at 80% margin before corporate tax. Guy cleared $400k+ after taxes. He could probably give every mod $5000 and still have half left.

 

[Catphish]

The thing that really blows my mind about all this is that anyone with a level head and the capacity for rational thought can see that Resetera is a psychologically broken, self-devouring mess. It was birthed by insanity, and lived in hypocrisy.

Who the fuck in their right mind would buy it at all, much less for $4.5 million fucking dollars?

 

[Starfield]

guys and girls of HERE:

please be aware of two things,

1. Should anyone from ResetERA migrate back to NeoGAF I urge you to treat them with upmost respect. Everyone makes mistakes in their life sometimes.

2. How is all of this going to affect Starfield??? Will Starfield survive?

I will muster as much respect as I can for pedophile sympathisers, which is to say none at all. If you want to buddy up with them, then that’s your call. Just don’t ever expect me to follow suit.

 

[Loope]

You really don't he was one of the mods actively destabilizing GAF to cause the exodus. I've seen the receipts. Also started the celebrity worshiped mod cult, which Ree has taken and run with.

Really? I remember him from lurking neogaf, he was usually associated with banning people left and right, am i right? I didn't know he was one of the people leading to what went down.

I didn’t even know these other branches existed until all this happened. I kept my Gaf account, well actually I had to make a new one because my old email got hacked (I’m pretty sure the account I don’t have access to is probably still registered at the site) But I also made a reseterror (intended) account. It just goes to show how bad it is over there if there are so many splinters right away. It’s crazy that he just bought up every share and everyone was like “gee! sounds normal to me.”

From what I recall it was the mod exodus more than anything else that caused the schism from GAF at the time.

The mods over there should hit up China and ask why community kindness didn’t work.

OMG - How can you possibly have a gaming forum when topics like sexuality, gender identity, ethnicity and women's rights all of which are some of the most important features in video games are forbidden?

These lunatics are way beyond insane!

I love it when gaf comes together like this.

Above : GAF discussing videogames
Under : GAF discussing Reeeera

[Stoneberg7]

Do they just like dressing up for a laugh? Or is this dare I ask that disturbing furry fetish subculture?

You know the answer to that.

They have to complain about some thing. If they pull their victim cards they would just have to be normal gamers. That wouldn’t allow them to be above everyone else dependent upon what percentage victim they are.
What’s funny is that is true over there, depending on where you fit into the hierarchy of victim it seems to play into what you are allowed to post and how valid another’s opinion is against yours.

Starting at their latest page (page 74) and working backwards, they are now all getting into hissy fits about mods and what constitutes a banning etc....

A shit load of them are in fighting.

They also brought up Asian ERA and Nintendo ERA users being pressured out the door, so they left. What were the reasons for this? ERA doesn't like Asians and Ninty gamers?

Poor Hobbes, they still havnt realised the gapping hole in the command structure there since he was banned.

I hear his new role is "International Spy"

They did this with a lot of communities, not only those.

It's amazing how they had complete control over all the discussions, at the slightest glimpse of people discovering shady shit, they would make the threads ban graveyards.

Most people didn't notice what was happening there.

Plagiarised and adapted from the great Spike Milligan

BOOK 1
CREATION, ACCORDING TO THE GAME JOURNALISTS

In the beginning Cerium created the discord invite and bought a license for xenforo.

And darkness was upon the face of the reeeers; this was due to most of them not being able to afford that months electricity bill.

And Cerium said, Let there be a site but only for prominent GAF members; and there was a site, but GoDaddy said that He would have to wait until Thursday for the SSL certificate.

And Cerium saw the site and it was good; He saw the projected costs and that was not good.

And Cerium called the site Resetera, and the darkness he called GAF, and in so doing, became the Founder.

And Cerium said, Let there be a team of moderators and Cerium gathered all the snakes and beasts that creepeth on their bellies unto Him.

And Cerium said, Let the boards be gathered together unto one place, and let the ads appear, and at Google they were monetised at $2,000 per day.

And Cerium said, Let the reeeers bring forth cash, and the reeeers brought forth cash and Cerium smoked, injected and snorted most of it.

And Cerium said, Let there be lies in social media and game sites to give life to the site, and it was so, except over at GAF and KF where this bullshit was overtly rejected.

And Cerium said, Let the reeeers bring forth those that hath life, flooding the board with idPol freaks and emotionally unstable furries.

And Cerium blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill my fannypack full of cash, and let fowl multiply on Twitter where Morrigan and Nepenthe would cancel them.

And Cerium said, Let us pressure developers to make games in our own image, but woe many came out like Spitting Image.

And He said, Let Resetera have dominion over Sony Santa Monica, Naughty Dog, DONTNOD and every creepy studio that creeepeth upon the woke. Except CD Projekt Red who gave them a stiff middle finger and said Fuck You.

And Cerium said, Behold, I have given you this free yeilding seed, to you this shall be a place to post, but to me it's an investment.

And with that, he sold the site and gave a chubby middle digit to that which He had created and used, laughing in their faces as they realised this new world was just an island. Made of shit. In a river of wretched puke and man nipple lactate.

*Miserable in a heated pool with one premium hooker in each arm

Hey, he needs those hookers and hot tubs parties for his "mental health".

 

[CatLady]

Anywyas this definitely shows shit like GAF Gold and Era Clear and people who pay for that shit are too stupid. The profits alone from ads is enough you giving extra money for the greatness of the community is hilarious

There is a big difference here. I don't recall EviLore ever claiming the money from Gold would be going to charity or that it was needed to keep the lights on here. It was mostly about offering users that signed up some benefits for a small monthly fee.

From reading the posts Maiden Voyage has so diligently entertained us with it seems like Cerium virtue-signalled that Clear would be donating some proceeds to charity and also was needed to keep RetardEra running.

 

[DeepEnigma]

What happened? Lol.

I just woke up.

Cerium?

I KNEW IT!

 

[ethomaz]

I have no ideia of what happened but people are talking like a “big” drama there and why some Nintendo fans migrated to other place and even there is a forum for sales now.

I just laughed about the “drama”.

Imagine thinking your internet fights for equality and your words need donations or are worthy of praise. Nepenthe thinks of herself the new Martin Luther King with the kind of preaching she does.

Dos ERA like any thing?

I mean most there have heavy preconceptions and these that try to be reasonable are bullied to bans.

BTW that is why I never understand why they thought GAF is alt right and they are woke lol

They act very like extreme right.

So true.

I actually have no problem with anyone making bank off a website. If I could make $4.5M selling a site, I'd do it too. I love making money (along with many of us who post in the Stock thread). At least I'm open about it.

Let this be a lesson for anyone (especially Reee users reading this thread), money talks and dont believe anyone who says this or that is in the goodness of their hearts. That entire site is supposedly founded on a combo of shit like ethics, anti-profiteering, anti-big business, anti-golden parachute CEOs, pay your employees, white man is bad etc....

Well, the founder is one of the money making big wigs the whole time. And he's a minority too. So he just backstabbed all of them. He even scooped up all the shares in 2018 according to that tweet where he bought out shares of the rest of them. Cant get any more corporate than that.

And they got hooped.

Many users notice it now, but some of the mods are putting on a brave face it's ok Cerium made bank and working as a free mod is virtuous. No wonder MOBA wants to buy them out. Reeee is a big site that makes annual profits, and the employees are conditioned to work for free and love it. It's like hitting the lottery in take overs.

if anyone of them think they can come back here they will need to clean their act up and/or keep a low profile. step a toe out of line or show their true colours then i hope they are smited by the banhammer.

 

[GloveSlap]

I always get a chuckle when their MODs complain about the community being mean. Not only are they some of the worst ones, but they permed every person the angry mob ever pointed their pitchforks at.

So now that almost all of the normal people are banned, they look around and are shocked that there is an angry mob sitting there.
