Okay point two against #YearZero.

The owner is Cerium.

Who shilled so hard for Hillary while lacking basic political knowledge that Daou would tell him to knock it off and Remington would probably strangle him. Then immediately swapped over to Nintendo shilling apparently and is funding the whole affair.

And when he commissions his vision of an INTERNET FORUM it contains this poetry:

It takes interest, passion, and participation from users to turn an inanimate website into a living thing. It will take the effort of every member here to turn our burgeoning congregation into the true community we are looking for.
 
While first and foremost this is a hobby forum, it also aims to be much more than that for hundreds of its members. This is our pocket world. It’s our place to go.

As you post and get acclimated with our new forum, channel your energy into reconstruction. Do not fall victim to petty arguments, do not capitalize on every opportunity to be negative, and remember that everyone here is a refugee. Seek positive conversation. Remove your ironic veil and speak honestly. Post thoughtfully and thoroughly and remember everything you contribute is a building block. Do not let our menagerie collapse under the same heavy-handed negativity that defines other forums we find distasteful.
 
Attempt to articulate why you care about things, or how things makes you feel, and leave room for others to respond at different levels of intensity.

Be inclusive in your language, beliefs, and expectations. For this forum to become a massive multinational destination, no human being can feel unwelcome in its environment. Respect their culture, respect their gender, and respect the identity of every member at all times. Nobody should ever feel defensive of their humanity. This kind of hostility cannot be tolerated here. This kind of standard is non-negotiable and should be upheld by every member.

Everyone here comes from somewhere else and we mustn’t cling to our nostalgia. This is a new era free from the burden of history. Embrace your new home, believe in its livelihood, and relish in this occasion. Do not fall victim to the false comforts of the past. Remember why we are moving forward and do so with pride.

Nobody would be here if they felt at home anywhere else. Remember, we really are the last of us.

It sounds like how the Daou cultist described ShareBlue and now Verrit only without any sweet codes and as a spin-off internet forum of another internet forum. Run by some known failed corporate shills and overall seem to be picked because of their high twitter follower counts.

To be fair gaf was run by a serial molester so a hillary/nintendo shill who just shuts up and is hands off really isn't a dealbreaker.

Now if he likes Pineapple on pizza...

I just read Evilore's internal statement to the mods (she's bi)...ahahahahahahaha!  Oh my god, the scientologist cult part!

I'll give ResetEra a chance, but if it's filled with people with forks up their asses then I'm out.  I'm all for a left-leaning gaming community, but I just can't connect at all with getting immensely, intensely morally outraged over someone politely offering a right-leaning point of view.  Maybe I'm just out of touch with "the struggle"?  I'm a middle-class asian guy, so I guess that counts as privileged.  Like, I'm not particularly irked by punching guys wearing swastikas, but I can't get mad at someone who's uncomfortable with it.

I will say I have little interest in a gaming-only NeoGAF.  The social/political stuff was part of what made GAF so weirdly compelling, like kind of a one-stop shop for everything going on in the world.

Nah its just stupid and self-defeating no matter what your "struggle" is.

I get not wanting to engage personally, but trying to deny anyone else from doing so or trying to hijack threads to moralize and bully or shut down others form doing so unless the reason is obvious trolling or evidenced disingenuousness is weak-minded as fuck.

[Deavl]

Since OT is gone now, how will people know when to break up with their wife or girlfriend when they found out they were cheating on them?

More importantly, how will they know how to wipe their asses properly?

So that's how many devs left now for the nexus of hardcore gaming? 

[benjipwns]

I don't mind anyone checking out #YearZero, I wasn't really replying to you hunter as maybe it sounds good to you, but Momo and also it got lost because the GAF storm happened but when we had all the commies in here they were talking up the place, when it's owned by the personification of what they were bitching about politics on GAF.

And that language may say "promotes discussion" to you, but to me it reads like a well crafted set of carefully constructed meaningless phrases that the mods will be smashing through to impose a deliberate order on the place. And if their ideal is recent OT GAF? It's a narrow one. Which was always the problem, not whether the site was mostly Democrats or social studies warriors but that moderation both allowed and encouraged users into a singular pathway. In 2007, GAF wasn't any less Democratic, probably even more actually "left" but you didn't have the NO FUN ALLOWED signs alongside with the STAY IN YOUR LANE ones.

Being paranoid fucks about "gamergators" also is a shit look.

And in the case of the commies, I don't know why they'd want to go anywhere else. This is an official Bob Avakian enthusiast forum AND it has a much beloved Maoist Rebel News thread that was only on page 5 because everyone here already subscribes and goes to the channel directly and doesn't need Jason's latest and greatest hits embedded like whatever he was brought on PressTV to talk about this week even though he's a Canadian Maoist who writes books about the economy of Fallout. But see, everyone here already knows that, their copies are dog eared.

Can't believe he actually did it. Closed off topic, released the world's worst statement, and banned "political" discussion just to avoid saying yeah I fucked up.

Wait, that's totally believable.

[Raist]

OK did some ketchup. Superficial though, ain't got enough time for this. What a shit show

Not shocked at the fully anonymous mod thing though. That's essentially what it became in the past few years, most of the moderation was done entirely via modbot anyway.

[Boredfrom]

There is none. And if one was left, it was m0dus. He apparently fucked off too. Strange that m0dus will leave the one place that would actually host whatever the fuck he does by choice.

Maybe Tyler acted like an asshole as GAF burns, so he got tired of all this.

He could have easily just made a slight apology. Not even actually say he was guilty. Then basically take a bow from GAF. Say he was giving it to the mod team. Hell, I'm not even sure he would even have to pay them. Just say he was basically ending being Evilore. Then just sit back and collect the ad revenue and keep a distance from GAF.

Instead he did everything wrong. Only showing he's a huge ass.

Democrats really need to make this and the earlier FCC ruling that allowed ISP's to collect data without consent a much bigger focal point of their agenda. Right at the top of their new slowly developing emphasis on trust-busting.

It is one of those issues that I have seen actually break through the wall of Trumpism and sow actual discord and anger. Not to mention something young people, even people that aren't politically active that much, take surprisingly seriously when confronted with it clearly.

Maybe Tyler acted like an asshole as GAF burns, so he got tired of all this.

Earlier you could tell there was a mod hand off, the types of posters that were getting banned changed, as did deleting vs. locks, etc. It seemed like Lore was actually letting people take shots at him and just cleaning out the angriest and then ones asking for bans at least in his statement thread. Then after the "hand off" there was a period noticed in the thread that stuff wasn't being moderated as closely, I think Lore left for a bit because then the threads started banning anyone who even mentioned what he had done as rape or called him shit, etc....then it kinda tailed off again before picking back up before I stopped really watching it a few hours ago.

Maybe Lore said do this for a few minutes so I can eat or take a shit or whatever and never came back and m0dus was like fuck this...

Also, they did something to limit thread making, I'm pretty sure. They should have just turned it off from the start and left his statement thread to become a shithole they could then delete after scanning for mod potentials.
