Can we all just take a moment to recognise Lamptramp-champ-scamp isn't standing up and shouting, they're sitting...at a keyboard. You may now continue.

Also that poster realising GAF is having a field day. I want to donate GAF gold to them.

EDIT: Funny how Jason Schreier didn't have an inside scoop nor an article about this. How long before expose pieces start cropping up on gaming news sites? Pretty telling when GAF was pushed through the gaming news syndicate but with ERA it's slow going? ERA/Cerium deserve the searing spotlight in the next few days.

look up scheissers original era article:

“After less than a day, ResetEra already appears to be faster and more lively than the current NeoGAF board. The group that founded ResetEra say they set it up as an LLC, and that no single person will be in charge of the site, which they hope will prevent the same catastrophe from happening again.”


YIKES

I'm a white nationalist now. What a fucktard.

Sometimes it's awkward being a non-white white nationalist but I manage.

I recognise "Lamptramp", hes/she/they/them/wtf, either way total wanker!

Just one of the many reetards that belong in a padded cell.

I'd actually love to see a new forum run by Lamptramp and Kyuuji, there's not enough popcorn in the world for that lunacy...

How you gonna miss a thread with Resetera in it and on the first page to boot.
Gotta be blind for real.

Wait, so GAF is simultaneously a bunch of nazis… but we also took steps to shut down nazis? Which is it?

Anyone who doesnt believe everything they believe or isn't left leaning gets called a nazi. And I'll be honest there are extreme people on both sides, and there are a lot of trumpers or pro right leaning people who are little too outspoken. There's nothing wrong having a political opinion but you need to keep your emotions in check and not start flinging names, cursing at people who dont see eye to eye or your point of view.

ERA's issue is they want to be this progressive movement forum for everything, and used the userbase from this place who jumped over to do it via GAme discussions. AND THEN they tried to be pro progressive with anything that got reported on in game industry. Which theres nothing wrong with that, but they banned people who would play devils advocate or come in with different perspective.
So then when games like Cyberpunk or Hogwarts would have tons of traffic of people exicited to talk about the game they use that to push agenda's in things like trans movement because a polish developer made a game that showed trans in poor light and had some choice opinions on trans they hated from twitter. And then when it came to JK Rowling they think she's a shit human for literally having reservations on things within tans community since she herself has kids, and is a writer for children's books.

People can have opinions that are shit or just uninformed or sometimes just wrong. But you dont rule threads/OT'S with authoritarian moderation where you literally are making a stance on what you want the discourse to be in a sense. Thats where they jumped the shark way back, and thats why most people have left.
Neogaf never did that, but before the mod exodus there was def a change in the air in moderation that literally was similar to what reset became. I think they knew if they pushed anymore Evillore would have seen the red flag in what was happening behind the scenes in what people really wanted.


Now the truth has come out, that Resetera was literally planned from days of Neogaf, they used the Evil lore scandal to have an exit and literally had everything ready to go before hand. SO this was planned in my opinion. They saw the numbers of neogaf activity wise, saw the attention it got to where neogaf got a literal documentary on gametrailers with Keightly, Jeff gertsman. They used also people like Shinobi and the likes who had tons of friends/contacts in the industry.

And for the longest time resetera was seen as the good guys for developers to come and have discussion without trolls, or hostility. But really it was poitical/agenda driven experiment that used the popularity of video games and news to grow their agenda. They used the implosion scandal to get all the hype attention and it worked.
Now i believe tons of developers have been posting less, or at least high profile developers outside of launching their games. I dont know what the future looks like, but would not bat an eye that we see more people including industry people come back or reach out to evillore and the mod team to see what the landscape looks like.
Getting rid of Political was step in right direction as Neogaf was always about games/developer discussions.

NOW IS NOT THE TIME TODD. JEEZ.

Fuck it's getting interesting now we just in the thread. I just want shit to spiral out of control with thread bans account suicides in gaming and off topic

Honestly I think theyre acting all cute defending cerium to try and get any $$$ from him, any tips or a penny.

Because of this I don't think much is going to change at Era, atleast for now. Who knows what will happen in the future.
Unsuprisingly the way the story for Era ends is exactly how noone wanted it to begin with.
You do not want to repeat the past but sometimes the past becomes the present anew.

Starting with this sell-off I think this might set certain things in motion we do not know exactly how they will pan out. The future is going to be interesting.
Knowing that ResetEra got sold to some random european company does make it even funnier though.
Y'all aren't ready yet for the inevitable site changes that will surely come in a year (or even sooner rather than later).
Respect to all the users over there who just simply do not give a fuck anymore and stopped "pretending" everything is fine.
In a way it is kinda amusing (and also saddening) how people still defend this move though. I have no idea what kind of guy Cerium is but he certainly isnt a poor individual anymore.
More or less the last 24 hours have been quite fun to observe.

The place is a cesspit. The thread on David Amess' murder is a shitshow. So many posts condoning the incident and no warnings or bannings. They are everything they claim not to be, hateful intolerant and small minded.

My personal favourite posts are when the mods there write their 6000 word essay apologies with over the top trite sincereness, over some ridiculously petty drama.

A lot of them seem so far up their own arses. What’s wrong with a good old ‘sorry, I was a twat’? You don’t have to swear to every god, your dead grandmother and every member of the forum personally that it won’t happen again, the proof will be in the pudding.

I genuinely love our mod team here.

Pretty interesting though. Era's "inclusivity and diversity" policy means their moderation seems very heavy handed by other Internet forum standards. I assume that a zero tolerance approach to anything approaching hate speech makes the purchase easier for potential buyers.

Haven't been there in years but even back then that placed had already woked itself back to racism.

You heard it here folks! Freethinkers = trash fire


Their commie idols would be proud

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Someone there managed to wipe their tears away long enough to find this thread. Popcorn and alt right bravado. That's what we're doing. I'm just waiting for Nepenthe to start capoiera kicking the bans out.

These people live in a fantasy whereby any dissenting or different opinions are "alt-right".

No wonder most of them are mental or have a screw loose, I'd be driven to madness too if I were so paranoid.

Edit. Beaten they found the thread.

How can something be canceled when it's already been paid. Cerium obviously made this announcement after the deal went through. He would lose some money I think the deal includes a retention deal but that's not for all the money. So in the end he still has a few million he made. It was smart for him to keep this quiet and make the announcement soon as the deal went through he probably waited at the last minute he had to as I'm assuming the mods would get need eventually.

Because it doesn’t seem like M.O.B.A has the keys to the house yet and the mods are doing an amazing job at adding fuel to the fire.

I’m pretty sure if there’s only a few burnt pillars remaining of the house, and Taysan still hanging on what used to be the front porch, the lawyers will go after Cerium. He should have wiped the mod team.

How do you know they don't have the keys. Where is your source for that information?

I know. They’re so fucking deranged that they immediately imagine that if you’re not posting in their Lord of the Flies stranded island you’re a fucking white nationalist. Fucking clueless.

 

[KAL2006]

Imagine if Cerium came into the thread and posted a Dave Chapoelle in rich bitch gif

That would be hilarious especially after Dave Chapoelle is an enemy to that forum.

I got banned for asking why it was OK for Caucasians to try to impose their concepts of morality on Japanese developers in a thread that said Zelda should be black or trans or something. I thought it was a truism that you should not judge other cultures and by obvious similarity, impose your morals on them, but when that goes against representation begging, I guess it is flat out wrong.

No conversation, nothing just banned. It really highlights how pathetic some of the mods are. Your racist if you question a bizarre concept about race that also denies another race's consideration. I mean shit. Isn't trying to impose cultural views on another culture worse than cultural appropriation? And shouldn't ideas on what is right and what is wrong be tested by healthy conversation? Not at Resetera.

I fully expect the banning to stop and the mods to get dumped because the point of the forum will be to sell adds, not to to develop some extreme Wokie echo chamber.

Lol. I got banned from there for calling them a queer site here lol. I didn’t even say shit there.
It’s not like I even said it in an insult way. But I guess they are so sensitive about them being queers lol. Permabanned too lol

Much like Psycho Trans Samus™, they have absolutely nothing going on in their lives, so the semblance of power they get from being a mod is too important for them to give up.

They may have sold for millions but Neogaf is priceless.

 

[Buggy Loop]

How do you know they don't have the keys. Where is your source for that information?

You buy a forum for 4.5M, tell me how you do not post a message about transitioning, let mods ban a shitload of peoples, let them fuel up their mass hysteria? Only explanation is you’re either a moron with too much money, or you still don’t have access to it.

 

[KAL2006]

Come on could have been more creative and stirred more trouble. Does anyone else have a an account on Era specifically one with thread making privelige.

You your are just speculating?

Maybe they have keys and didn't expect the outrage and don't know what to do and how to contain it yet. Maybe they have a plan that they need to make and will tackle it later. Maybe they think things will blow over etc etc. The information we have now is the fact that it sold. You are saying Era hasn't fully sold yet and that is full on speculation from you with know facts.

In the long post cerium says the deals took many months to complete I am sure they would have discussed the payment phase of this.

Someone should reply to this with the Schreier article and the quote about there being no singular owner lol

ResetEra Ownership Update

Everyone has a price. The problem here is that there shouldn't have been a single owner. This place should've been owned by a community as a non-profit org, not an LLC. This oversight will probably be how this place will lose whatever cachet it had because the facade all fell off.
