Truly deranged people.The 7th most popular topic of all time there that raced to the top within a couple of days was the president being diagnosed with Covid. It's just deranged "Die , die, die" over and over and over.
President Donald Trump and the First Lady have tested positive for coronavirus (read Threadmarks to keep up) News - COVID
Note: For all recent real time updates, please view all of the threadmarks. Updating the Main OP will be a bitch to do so I'm at least making sure that I'm doing my part by keeping the thread updated with all the recent updates as they come via threadmarks!www.resetera.com

Vladimir Lenin 150th Anniversary
on this day 150 years ago (april 22nd 1870), vladimir ilyich ulyanov (better known by his alias lenin) was born in simbirsk, russia (now known as ulyanovsk). the figurehead behind the influential marxism-leninism ideology that has been utilized by china, cuba, laos, and vietnam (and continues to...
Reading about Stalinist Russia, 1984 actually downplayed it.
Thanks to another user I can't remember, I'm currently reading through Stephen Kotkin's Biography of Stalin. I'm just on Volume I right now and am just finishing up the Russian Revolution and the death of Lenin which leads to the eventual takeover of Stalin. However, as I've been reading through...
There absolutely needs to be a TV Series on the life of Joseph Stalin
I've been reading a series of biographies by Stephen Kotkin covering Stalin (he has 2 so far, with the third coming this year), and it is so fucking fascinating. This is one of the most interesting and extraordinary people to ever live. There's a lot of criticism of the historical theory of the...
these lads stan the terror group PKK and their Syrian offshoot the YPG because they're "Socialist Democratic" and "let" women fight in their terror campaigns against civilians. Because they're "Socialist Democrats," they overlook the widespread practice of female genital mutilation, child brides, ethnic-cleansing of Turkmen and Syrian Arabs from the North East of Syria, via a decade of displacement and murders. But it's all ok because they're Marxists and communism is just the best.

It's obvious Cerium planned this from the start. He ain't stupid he is a book author and knows about crypto.
He said he has mental issues running the site yet bought out other shareholders while Era was on growth mode. A thread that was created asking about site ownership and no sticky or details about it quickly had a response and locked immediately with no details such as Emily and original admins left due to not getting paid.
The site got sold at the perfect time when growth slowed down, he had the data to see the site hit its peak and sold just as it was starting to drop. He had making a buck from this from the start or atleast early on. I think soon as he had the idea of making a profit the original admins left but it's a shame none of said a damn thing while they left the house.
So how does this affect Era, well this is the site that's against free labour, late stage capitalism, its infancy was based on the fact GAF had one owner who they didn't like and they wanted to do something new run by the community. The new owner Cerium sold to has issues that goes against there very ideals. This is fucked and I am surprised no one is creating account suicide threads that was as bad as what happened here on GAF. Maybe they just accepted it and are embarrassed.

decent discourse community.
Dog piling and backseat modded until you get banned
Have a different opinion, ban
Have the same opinion but nuanced, ban
Moderators that endorse killing white kids
Wishing people of other political views dead
If thats decent discourse, he should get a reality check. Ree is no different from any totalitarian regime, walk in line or become deleted. There is absolutely no room for discussion.

Jeez, what a ride.
The ultimate irony is that the forum has spent the last 4 years creating a safe space for its users, provided they subscribe to the same very narrow ideology. Anything slightly outside of this viewpoint and it's a ban. I think over half of the forums members have been banned at this point.
The end result is an extreme ideological echo chamber that is far removed from the real world, and even other online spaces, so much so that it has become a comfort blanket for the members left who can stay on message.
And now...the place gets purchased by a company that openly states it wants more users. It'll open up the doors to literally everyone, and now that ideological safe space is going to be a free for all.
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. The whole forum got hoodwinked, which makes all their sanctimonious preaching even funnier. They got used by an old fashioned capitalist, too busy bickering with themselves and scrapping for tiny pieces of power to notice. My god it's pure Orwell.
I can't believe that the mods are still hanging around, do these people genuinely have no self respect.
The extra cherry on top of all this of course is that the person who has been villified by the forum most (well, maybe outside of Trump), Evilore, has actually stuck to his morals, shown transparency, and kept his word, while they've all been shafted by Cerium.

Again, look at how the mods treat people (and vice versa). No wonder your forum is slowly decaying. You're all a bunch of assholes.
The are questions you will never have the answer to. I wouldn't be surprised if B-Dubs got $500 to shut up.
He gone.
Do. Better. Be. Best.
This never gets old.
You willingly gave it away...

ERA Member: I support a community where everyone is compensated for their work, where there are no greedy acquisitions and I condemn the rich for becoming richer at the expense of others who toil for free.
Also ERA Member: I too, would have taken the 4.5 million and run as well. No hate there.
What a bunch of spineless hypocrites.

Hey, just popping up here again. Forgot if I ever posted here before to begin with. I originally made a ResetEra account back when it was first created, never had a (working) account on here before that point because I couldn't do the e-mail credentials then, and by the time I could the exodus happened, so I tried going along with that.
Unfortunately, some threads were rather out there, and I had a couple particular posters get unreasonably agitated at me doing a generalized call-out on people who don't actually support content creators who respond to their feedback, which caused me to leave. (I don't remember being banned for it; this was before it flanderized into being ridiculously ban-crazy.)
I may had considered coming back if things changed, but being corporate-owned is not the change I wanted.
I am not really familiar with many old-style forums left with anything resembling active communities, and my experiences with Reddit make me feel like it is too restrictive. (In regards to style, I mean. After all these years you can't post a picture, a video, and a paragraph in the same post? Why do the new kids even like this stuff?)
So I guess I'll be here for a bit, seeing old-style forums continue to slowly die. Sad.

I'm not sure if forums are dying really, smaller sure. But even Tesla has a big old style forum in addition to a reddit page. Reddit is nice to catch up on some news, but discussion? Nah.

I think we're getting to that stage where Era posters are now seeing this thread, having a little look around GAF in general, seeing that it's not actually a cesspit of right wing nazis they've been brainwashed into thinking it is, and are either reactivating or creating new accounts.
Welcome.
But don't stick around if opinions that don't align with yours offend you. We actually like that shit around here.

I came back here long ago, not now
Originally though I was here in 2010, based on my account history. I think I'm mostly remembered here as the only real and pure fanatic of Final Fantasy XIII. I have a great legacy to tell, many battles fought in its defense which I'm really proud of. It's worth also noting that Kagari (a mod before) is responsible for that tagline under my name. It's a scar I wear with pride. I'm that fucking cool. And fuck you FFXIII haters.

ultimately won in the end with that Gilgamesh appearance in Chocobo Cart coming up.

i have no issue with both forums policies. I dont jump into political discussions and never cared about anything else. Sole reason to join both forums is to discuss games and hardware related stuff. I have been reading GAF since 2007 and was trying to become member since but never got my account approved. When this GAF exodus happened i got my accounts on both forums. I am just happy to be a part of bigger communities. I have no hate for ERA nor GAF.

k, but its a fact mods there may ban you for posting in this "alt-right nazi cesspool of free-thinkers", just letting you know.
Honestly we should all be open to having Era users here, there are still some good posters there. And the crazy ones we the mods here can weed out. Stop antagonising them and get them back here. I just want a more active place like the good old days before NeoGAF went leftie and imploded.

Calling this place names was just a way to shame people that stayed here and make anyone considering coming back here think twice.....
It was all about stealing people and power, not about any ideology. All you have to do is look at Ceriums old posts and his recent actions to realize the truth.
