Blame space going to be nixed as an alt account and for having a history of having a history.

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.
They thought they were buying a gaming site .. 😂😂 to sell stuff through. 😂😂

Nobody loved you, and no one ever will if you keep being such a horrible, high-nosed prick whose idea of 'cool' is to dress up like the big bad wolf from a children's school play.
It doesn't matter, the mod team will be largely replaced by the end of 2021. MOBA wants to further develop the website, kinda difficult to do when mods are giving perma bans for "Dismissing concerns" meaning when you literally disagree with somebody's opinion. It's a simple application of 'safe spaces' in the Internet context. So you either get rid of that or you will be left with what they have now.

Just get rid of it, 100 inflammatory members will throw a hissy fit and leave and the rest can actually discuss videogames.

They don't understand circular logic do they?

They need to let go honestly. It's gone beyond the point of right/wrong now. The users obviously dont feel heard or shit is being taken seriously. As the people with the privilege of power in the discussion, they need to empathise and reassure. Right now, they are exactly the same as these people on twitter and social media who have chosen to do something as a venture of improvement rather than a venture of interest. And all they really want to say is 'I know better, do as I say not as I do'.

Proper immature.

It's more important to keep up these fake performative persona's of 'I take no shit huh-huh' than it is to actually build something. Being an asshole and being uncompromising only works if you have strong principles that are respected (if not agreed with).

For anyone wondering just why jufonuk jufonuk Maiden Voyage Maiden Voyage and myself are running an autist screenshot party here's your answer. They delete, edit and retcon anything that makes them look bad.

What an asshole. And didnt even publicly post anything about (the initial post was actually Saturday where I snapshotted it yesterday) and she edited last night at 8:09 pm). You'd never know unless you backtracked to her post, and she never publicly explained it later, but instead did a PM because she didnt want people to see what she said to that Breakfuss guy in private.

And she BS'ed about standing by her spoiler comment (the fragile line), because she even changed that line to something different as less agitating, and even got rid of the fragile part.

I wonder if the industry at large (Easy Allies especially) will finally stop referencing Era now? I mean it's been an embarrassment since its inception but imagine, in 2021 and beyond, unironically referencing Era when it comes to games coverage now.

Someone else said it yesterday, I can't remember who (sorry!) but it's clear that the mod team are doing a spectacularly fucking poor job when they're some of the most visible members on the site. Isn't your volunteer role to help steer things in the right direction, mediate and generally keep things clean?

Instead, Era gets some of the most combative, patronising and snarky cunts to do that job. How can anyone be happy to post in that sort of environment, the admin/mods are actively conspiring against their own userbase.

I know absolute power corrupts absolutely, but they're getting like this over a videogame social justice forum. Imagine if they held any real sort of job, position of power or were accountable for anything in their sad little lives. Scary thought.
 
Thrm wanting Cerium to come answer questions is Hilarious, because its never going to happen
I owned a large (bigger than Reeeeee) motorcycle forum from 02 to 09. When I sold it, I had to sign an NDA, basically saying I would make a "Sale" post, step down, and not come back. I also had to sign a non compete clause for 5 years. I have absolutely zero doubt Cerium is in the same position.

Also, he got 4.5m. Fuck them.
 
"Just go look at my post history" is such a Gamefaqs thing to say. At the end of the day the Admins/Mods should be managing their own forum instead of engaging in open warfare with their userbase.
I don't even have to look. Everyone knows that when they think of Nep, they think of someone apologizing to the community for years.

Checks out.
