It's crazy no one in Era is asking themselves what's the point of Era if the forum exists to line the pockets of the values Era is against. Eras inception was based on those values, eat the rich, don't support right wing racists, companies that are racist, have negative impact on minorities etc.

So based on that new owner what will they do, why isn't this the main discussion of Era in that thread. That thread Seik made highlighted this issue and it immediately got locked. So basically they are now saying who gives a fuck about the owner then if that's the case why the fuck did they make a hissy fit with GaF and left Era is now like any other gaming forum if they can't stay true to the value is was created.

They are in an inescapable loop.

Mods - Never wrong and there to lead
The Userbase - look to the mods for guidance and follow their lead

Hopefully papa Moba gives them a good firm slap to snap them out of it.

Not really that would make it quote sad that Evilore pays 4.5mill

What would make it actually funny is if the forum imploded and Moba had some sort of clause which would mean Cerium had to return the 4.5 million.

Unfortunately Era posters have no fucking balls they want to keep that precious account and engage with that forum that is now built on hypocrisy, Era posters should all be doing what Seik has done and making suicide threads with highlighting all the issues with the sale but I guess they value those Era accounts.

2nd post below-The mods are the 'face' of the forum because they choose to be. If they sat back and didn't inject themselves into everything, no one would even know who they are. But their ego gets in the way of the work.

A white mod said it to a black mod, basically saying they aren't black enough because of wrong think. That itself is pretty racist imo.

Crazy how race is such a big issue over there, along with pretty much everything else that divides people.

Makes you feel proud of what’s been achieved here where for the most part everyone just gets along and talks shit about video games.

As a brazilian, the perception that media give us is that all american young people are like ResetEra stupid cuck progessists. GAF shows me how media lies.

I wonder that american buddies also might buy some lies, like that our president is a genocide fascist.

Fuck the mainstream media.
Hard disagree, but then again, you sound like you pushed the 17 hard.

Hmm, I hate bringing politics into this but Bolsonaro ran a campaign fully based on anti-gay rhetoric. I should know, I’m Portuguese and the mass exodus of gay people from Brazil to Portugal is real. He’s not a genocide fascist but he’s great at division and fuelling hate.
You're right, he relly talks much crap.
 
The more I think about it the more it seems like MOBA made a very bad investment. The site's complete disintegration under the current regime seems pretty inevitable. And this sale will probably only hasten its demise. Also, what's to stop them doing the same thing they did to this site to Resetera at some point in the future. This is how the woke infection works. These people don't build -- they slowly, gradually tear down.

I bet this Cerium guy had to find the perfect mark - someone with deep pockets who wasn't fully aware of the tortured history of the site and how it was basically started by the lunatics taking over the asylum. Enter some oblivious Swedes.

It's easier to ignore the valid questions and concerns and instead just point at the black guy upset over use of racist language. The race/equity thing has always just been a macguffin to the real issues at Era.

Another thing I realised Seik deletion his OT threads he made for Era over the years and states he wants to delete this, because he can't support Era being owned by a company that's against his values. The Era mode went against his wishes and resotred his OT and gaslighted him and said he restored it to further piss of Seik.

Wouldnt that mean the mod is okay with Era lining the pocket of a company who goes against Eras key values. After all those OT threads will gain clicks and the new owner would prefer them in tact. So basically the mod is for this why hasn't this been highlighted and questioned are Era users this pathetic what happened to your values?

maybe not, 55k users prob only a very very vocal minority are the extremist. Replace all the mods, open registration, make it a game forum again and it might do well. I assume that what MOBA sees.
 
Could someone explain to me what this whole cracker thing means?
I know a definition was posted, but I figured I would tell you where it came from.
Before slavery was abolished, slave drivers used whips to drive slaves who weren't working hard enough, as well as to punish misdeeds. The "Cracker" would "Crack the Whip".
There were actually some black crackers (and slave owners), but obviously it was a tiny minority. So Cracker came to be synonymous with Slave driver, which were white for the most part.

Are you telling me you can have a conversation about video games without being constantly reminded that the user you're speaking to is black/white/asian and or trans/bi/straight/gay?

I don't think thats possible.

I think it was a great investment, I have spent zero moneys on it and we have the best thread of the year.
