As bad as Resetera is there is another forum with a membership just as progressive that takes joy in mocking Reeeee but secretly wishes it was there but got banned. Also not a big fan of this place. Familiar faces too!
Not sure who @Karak is exactly but enjoyed "gaming equivalent of stormfront" and "transphobic hate swarm".
Little bit of hyperbole there

I got permed there for 'misogyny' one and a half years ago for saying that men and women have different goals in relationships.I got banned earlier this year for saying we shouldn't judge someone without any shred of evidence, and that we should wait and not jump to conclusions.

I was listening to the recent IGN Xbox podcast where they had John Linneman from Digital Foundry as a guest. With what's going on today I'm reminded that he too was chased off of that forum. I think by the same group that got Black Chamber.

“Doxxing Files” eh. Big yikes, benji.
Maybe someone can chime in with whether or not it’s this case or the Black Chamber case where GAF is referred to as Stormfront. So many things get said that it starts to blur into one.
What is this?
EDIT: on second thought do I really need to go down another one of these rabbit holes? Maybe. It’s pretty fascinating stuff. Again with the owning of the libs lol - love it. Man I really owned myself hard on this site - I actually literally became the person who claims ownership over my liberal body I owned it so hard.
There’s only so much time I can spend in the zoo. I only asked because it may have been relevant in giving Karak in the info he may not haveMany people already have, there's pages of it. Read them.
I find it surprising that there are people who are content to just browse for years without participating in the back and forth, but everyone has different tastes.I think I'll start lurking here again, and maybe come out of the woodwork a bit to post on occasion.

Engagement is fun. Try it out if you're comfortable, and I hope it's a positive experience.

If you don't mind me asking, why is that?Well, i can understand that, im mostly a lurker than a poster as well.
I see, that's very interesting!This is actually me! Only posted 600 times in the 14 years I've been a member here. I mostly like to hear and learn from other people's takes on subjects, along with hoover up any breaking news.
If you don't mind me asking, why is that?
If you do mind me asking, then please feel free to tell me to go pound sand
I see, very good.Why would i mind? Well, im not the most communicative guy IRL so its mostly related to that, i do enjoy reading good discussions around gaming mostly.
Also, im not EN native so sometimes i also have issues to participate in more in depth discussions so its a mix between how i am IRL and some struggles with English language.
Isn't this just "evilbore" by a shorter name?It's basically Resetera's younger brother that is pissed off that Big Bro won't play with him.

Not to take up too much of this thread but I'll just note that The Bore goes back about twelve years or so, some of the posters far far longer, and was a GAF spin-off well before many of the ResetERA.com prominent members were even Juniors here. I don't think it wants to be anything like ResetERA.com (or GAF), but rather a smaller and tighter knit group. What we do share is we all were on GAF at one point in time. That "quarantine" thread is basically the equivalent of this one except it applies to not just ResetERA.com but also GAF, Senior-Forums, reddit, etc. and is slightly more about things we find funny. Lore's even posted there a few times.As bad as Resetera is there is another forum with a membership just as progressive that takes joy in mocking Reeeee but secretly wishes it was there but got banned.

Yep. I forget when the "evil" got dropped, but it was to signify that it wasn't anything personal with Lore anymore (though some users do have harsh opinions still) and it was more of its own little community.Isn't this just "evilbore" by a shorter name?
Used to be the place where banned GAF users went.
Nice nostalgia trip, haven't seen that place for over ten years.
So my question is: how did such an authoritarian community become the go-to website for gaming news? All the major websites frequently cite ResetEra users as "sources" for their articles.
Lots of the people there are good folks. People I would honestly like to sit down and have a metaphorical beer with (I'm almost 7 years sober so not a real one). What's happening over there right now isn't business as usual. Ive been there since day 1. The mods have backed themselves into a corner and way over corrected.
I think it's fun that that place is still around.Yep. I forget when the "evil" got dropped, but it was to signify that it wasn't anything personal with Lore anymore (though some users do have harsh opinions still) and it was more of its own little community.
Lol, trolls we're infiltrated long time ago and some are VIP users on Era. Looking at you, banshee
too late for that, trolls are already deep cover
Go easy on The Bore, they’re good people. They’ve made talking about other Internet forums a neckbeard art form... going on almost 15 years now. The sticky used to be all about making fun of GAF till Resetera was formed three years ago. Since then it’s 90% Era, 5% GAF, and the rest Taco Bell. Honestly some of the best (and funniest) takedowns I’ve read about Era and the trans gestapo have been from that thread.Sorry I missed this

I also find it ironic that social media, which was pretty much at the point of replacing and killing forums has gone so far extreme that it now has almost created a renewed need for them. It's pretty much big bang theory for digital. Everything will contract (reddit, facebook, twitter), eventually collpase under its own weight and explode, and then as it expands again thousands of little new galaxies (forums, services etc.) will be formed and have their own ecosystems. Life is beautiful lol.
I'm very interested to see how GAF progresses from here on out. A forum that is resolutely set against creating an echo chamber for one cultural subset or another is a genuinely odd thing in a landscape of websites and social media platforms where everyone is siloed off into their own little encampments, never to actually engage with another group in any meaningful way. I'm very much hoping the mods continue to push the idea that all are welcome here, and that there will be none of the segregation or safe space bullshit that's infected our entire discourse (on all wings of the political and social spectrum). Basically, the online community as a whole needs to get its ball back, and return to an era (hah!) when confrontation, discussion and resolution were the way things were handled. It'd be nice to see GAF - as a name that's been around in this milieu for a long time - be at the forefront of that change in attitude and perspective.

Freethinkers UNITE!
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a freethinker is "a person who forms their own ideas and opinions rather than accepting those of other people, especially in religious teaching." In some contemporary thought in particular, free thought is strongly tied with rejection of traditional social or religious belief systems.[2][3] The cognitive application of free thought is known as "freethinking", and practitioners of free thought are known as "freethinkers".

This is how communist states work, everyone at each other’s throats, children turning in their parents, etc. You will note how Era and all their SJW journalist friends are loudly pro socialism.
That they continue to say they are on the Right Side of History while supporting an ideology that killed ten times the people Hitler did is fucking bizarro land. You can buy Mao t-shirts from Amazon but no Hitler shirts despite the former killing more people. Socialism is openly endorsed by the death cult.
They truly are historically ignorant. 100 million dead in the crusade for their failed ideology and it is not enough bodies for these monsters.

Edit: Hey demi, add a dark mode ffs. Jesus man it’s been 15 years.
these are the same people that are vandalizing centuries old statues in US, what do you expect from them? lmao
The biggest problem we face is the dissolution of facts, people now have this notion that facts are just subjective and can be twisted to suit their narrative or feelings, both sides are guilty of it.ResetEra is a microcosm of what society is transforming to. Be really worried.
Sophia sounds like a well meaning person who is trying to compromise while doing the right thing, but is stuck between a rock and a hard place, but it's actually a soft place and she doesn't realize it.She did and it was commendable. She was always so nice in our chats.
Gromph is an expert on poop. I purchase his consulting at least once a month.Whoever worked on the tech here knows their shit.
Edit: Hey demi, add a dark mode ffs. Jesus man it’s been 15 years.
What is this snitching bullshit?Speaking of Demi, that is an interesting topic. With Resetera banning all the evil Nazi's from it's site. Demi happens to post on Resetera's Destiny OT on a daily basis as very few people on the Bore play it. He is also the Owner/Admin of the Bore. The site that mocks the crap out of Resetera. So will Demi be able to continue posting on Resetera? How closely does Resetera watch this thread?
