I have an account over there but I've mainly been back here for at least a year if not longer. Everything is too crazy and over-the-top extreme on that forum. For a while the craziness was interesting in a 'slowing down to watch a car wreck' kind of way but it gets tiresome fast. GAF is a much more enjoyable place, 100% no doubt. This thread rocks, been highly entertained the last couple of days. :messenger_grinning_smiling:
 
Generalisation? There’s documented proof that the majority of users actively discuss pedophilia and the like on their Discord server. They don’t just discuss it either, they actively endorse and support it. Is that the kind of human trash you wish to be associated with?

Wait...what? 😐

One poster on Era made a thread on off topic it had a decent OP with all the issues about the deal, Cerium being hush hush, the invancy of Era, the new buyers affiliation with Blizzard etc. And as expected that thread got locked instantly stating the reason why is because the announcement thread is there for that discussion. However the announcement thread has so many pages that OP was a nice summary about all the issues. And many people never click on banners with announcement. I hope more Era users keep posting these threads in both off topic and gaming sides to bring more awareness.

There are certainly some members that shouldn't be welcomed here because we know all they'll do is cause problems, but the average poster that doesn't care about that shit and only posts there due to activity? The should absolutely be given a shot.

Lamptrampstamp for example is someone we wouldn't want here, because we know his mentally unstable ass couldn't handle it. Whereas someone like Black Chamber was a welcome addition.

Look at this guy talking shit about you L Lamptramp

Let everyone back.

But an automatic ban for anyone that says ‘problematic’ or ‘y’all’.

Yikes! Just shut up and listen friendo. As a white person, it’s almost as if, losing faith in all of humanity because of bigotry, I’m literally shaking rn.

Folks, let’s unpack this, you’re a bit toxic, who hurt you? POC? Oh sweetie, you’re wholesome, you do realize right? That’s right, it’s called being a decent human being >: )

How much did I score on the Bingo card

That's honestly not a bad idea lol. They're now vulnerable to a Gamergate style pressure campaign.

But we'd have to care enough to actually do it, which is a critical flaw in the plan.

The flaw is if you do it Cerium takes back control of the forum and they won't die. He just gets the income while he shops for another buyer. I don't think there's a win situation here.

She sounds like she's fighting in a literal race war. Imagine being this deranged.

And it's so blatant if you do the "switch nouns," game. If someone was a mod on a forum and said shit like "as long as I get to keep banning blacks," or "so long as moba let's me ban n-word-ry," you'd get canceled into a smoking crater. She's not the "top level person," she thinks she is, she's just radical and scary, and not in an intimidating way, but the same way you don't reach out to pet an animal that's foaming at the mouth.

I don't see it, sorry. Other than the fact that she's a mean-spirited person who isn't interested in the fact that her precious website was born and aborted on hypocrisy as much as she's interested in continuing to enjoy her power trip and keep banning people she doesn't like, she doesn't explicitly say she wants to ban white people. Unless I missed it.

I'm not saying she's isn't a cunt, I'm not saying she isn't a racist - I just don't see in your quotes the part where she clearly says she wants to ban white people.

Chaos and embarrassment is a win in this case. These people are never actually going away. It's just another chance to point out that they're crazy.

Like I said though, I don't care enough about it to actually participate. But I'd certainly watch it go down as entertainment.

MOBA has advertisers I'm sure as well.

I mean, you can Google the screens of her previously saying it was cool to kill babies if they were white babies. That's legit, undoctored online. If she wants to do that, she doesn't want any Tom Johnsons on her forum.

Was era really influencing gaming?

They do not influence gaming. What *does* influence gaming is bad press. Almost all the gaming "journalists" these days are the same ilk that frequent Era. Openly racist, bigotted, bitter assholes who hate games and gamers and want everyone to kowtow to them. So they create harassment campaigns and openly lie to get what they want.

They amplify the voices of a very cancerous minority group and try to ruin people's lives via Social Media when they don't get their way.
 
Another thing I've found awesome about current GAF -- is its pace. I know people want a faster pace, but I'm not so sure; back at the height of its power, GAF threads moved too fast, and it was easy for your post to get lost. Also, what happened then (which is also what happens on ERA even to this day) is that only the most obnoxious/extreme posts, or posts by the most prominent members are the ones that get all the attention. (Although there's a huge intersection between "shit posts" and "posts by prominent members" I guess). Reasonable posts get buried underneath.

With its current pace, GAF allows you to actually engage more with people, which is the whole point of a forum. Also, it allows anyone to "be the change they want to see." Want to see more retro gaming threads? Have it at. Want to talk about graphics cards? Have at it. Want to be a bit of a weirdo and post chick's asses specifically wearing jeans? Have at it too. Point is, if you persist enough, other GAFers will gravitate to -- and eventually engage with -- whatever topic it is that you want to talk about, gaming or otherwise. I have seen it happen with the video game backlog thread, a Retro gaming thread (that started as an announcement for an upscaler), and like I said, the asses thread. And in a lot of those cases a single poster -- or just a couple of posters -- have been the most active ones, but other people started coming in once they saw all the action.

Lastly, every member's opinion here is given the same weight, at least from what I've seen. There's no cult of personality around any mod or even around any "prominent" posters. Yes, some posters do still rise to prominence just because of their weird/fun/outspoken personalities, but it's just all fun and games. There's no worship or ass kissing here on GAF.
 
Has anyone noticed if any of them even mention considering using GAF again? Maybe it’s not a wise thing to do over there but I’m sure there’s got to be some coming back…

Imagine the hate you would need for white poeple to actually say something like that, and imagine a cesspit of a forum where you could say that and get away with it.
The loons over there wouldnt see the irony if it was sat of their face.

I am probably not saying this right. I don't doubt she is a racist who hates white people - it is easily implied in what she says.

I just doubted that she ACTUALLY said she wants to ban white people. You can get the implication by the general idea of what she says (like where she says that white people were insulting minorities here on GAF), but I didn't read her saying "As long as I ban white people, I'm ok".

I wanted to see her actually having that typed.

Yeah much prefer the pace of current GAF. I also like how if you have been here a while, you know a hell of a lot of the posters. Its much more group like than old GAF where there were just way too many posters.
Of course business wise its better to have tons of users, but from a user standpoint, i think current GAF is the perfect size.

Majority? What? That is as fucking mental as them saying Neogaf is filled with nazis. By the way i spoke against that shit when i was on Resetera, although i've never been a member of neogaf before, because of that email stuff.
