Good communities too.
I don't know man, I heard on twitter they're full of literal real world stalkers. And Evilore was covering it up.

Yeah, i didnt pay too much attention around the time all the drama broke, but after a few minutes of looking, im wondering how that forum managed to blow up immediately.
It didn't though, they spent nearly a week organizing it as an EXCLUSIVE CLUB and thousands of GAFfers said "yeah alright, I'll wait to post there" because they're addicted to the "community" they constantly want to cast people/groups out of.

You gotta admit, it was smart.

It looks lame as fuck and even more boring than gaf's final few years, but they succeeded so far.

Everything about what they have done with ResetEra is impressive. To get it up and running in like 4 days and get 9000 people registered within 24 hours without going down is pretty amazing. Gaf is definitely done.
lets be honest here...you really think they built this all by themselves?
Dude, The editors of the game journals gave him the money.
Come on.
Its TOO NICELY BUILT.
There some helldump/tor people around mucking about over there too.

I'm normally a person who chills in posting because I don't care about the title under my username but you're seriously making me want to post a shitton more just so's we won't be in the same membership status.

It's not nicely built, it's just a more modern basic forum template than gaf's ancient shit. You can see the forum software info on the bottom of the page.

I'm not sure why im replying, you're clearly fuckin distinguished mentally-challenged

If you were gaf's owner whats your next move?

Quote
This is the scenario:

-Users are leaving the site in droves, so time is critical.
-Content creators are nowhere to be seen.
-You have a limited staff.

+You have years of content in your database.
+You have better name recognition.
+You have more bank.


Please refrain from predictable responses as "kill myself", etc. Also refrain from memes such as "she's bi", "shower this, shower that", etc.

This thread is to gather ideas and to help gaf move forward.

Please discuss.

Quote from: JordanN
I think Evilore is playing 4 dimensional chess.

Every move he has made so far is calculated. Site went back online the same day he promised, removed politics to restore moderate discussion instead of being a dogpile central, and now off topic is back.

I think his next big move could be dropping a huge industry leak. How would other websites respond if Neogaf became the first source for a next generation console? They wouldn't be able to avoid it.

JordanN has to be a troll.

EviLore is playing 4D chess. Unfortunately, the instruction manual he was reading was for Scrabble.  :-\

Mumei's argument was basically that not wanting to fuck dudes made you a bigot.

It's not the single craziest Social Studies Warrior argument I had ever seen, but it's up there.

Also, giving someone AIDS on purpose is terrible and such an action warrants prison so the crazy fucker (pun not intended... I think) doing it is stopped.  Even if the incident rate is low, there's nothing inherently wrong with a criminal law that doesn't see much use.
Transgender women are women

AIDS is not HIV.

But I know where arguing with you goes -- endless tedium.

I really hope I don’t ever meet any of these guys in real life. I’ve never met people who think like this, or at least no ones ever been outward about having such strange views.
it's not nearly as strange or as big of a deal as you are making it out to be

I just don’t see the issue with using the term “guys” as a catch-all. Do females really get offended if they’re referred to as “guys”? It’s pretty much a neutral term at this point. They’re policing language again.

Not a lawyer but... that sort of reads like, let’s say you shared a copy of a beta of some indie game you made to the forum. Their user agreement suggests they could just take it and publish it and sell it and tell you to eat shit? Sounds like it wouldn’t hold up, especially as it makes no distinction for links vs in posts.
GAF's TOS had the same language and people bitched about it before forgetting. But unlike NeoGAF LLC, RestEra LLC isn't owned by Evilore but Cerium and unnamed parties, so no worries, ever.
Even the part about taking you to court for ban evasion? That was the most chilling part I read in all that, even knowing it was bullshit.

To be fair to Mumei his argument was that if you are physically and emotionally attracted to someone and the only thing that is stopping you is the idea that they are trans then you are engaged in bigotry. I don't buy it, but his argument wan't so binary.

Not sure why you'd want to be a different sex for real though. Must be mental illness.

The way I look at it is that the brain is oppressing the body. Everything about you states that you are a particular sex, yet your mind wants to take control and subvert that which is true. So it forces your body to go through oppressive regimes like injections, designed to ruin your biology through completely unnatural means. There are legitimate fears with hormone shots, and the fact that they need to constantly be administered means that it is a farce the whole way.

Did you come here when you heard the Bore was alt-right?

Resetera is just a basic modem forum. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to get one up in a few days. They also paid for dedicated servers and the tech guys optimised XenForo for scalability using a good cache etc. It's not something unusual. Industry is just pissing on Malka and promoting the new forum. Shocking.

Oh, no, just the content reuse stuff. ResetEra's TOS goes above and beyond GAF's which is surprisingly simple and reasonable all things considered: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=390708

I am coming around to the theory that resetera is almost too good as a startup forum.. way too many game sites people singing its praise and joining in a bit too fast.

Plus the speed it went up as soon as the tyler story got out....

So you're saying that Tyler's shower adventure was a false flag?  :derp

Define conflict? Differing opinions are good; needless trolling and shitposting is fun; sometimes though serious conversation is great.

Speaking of which I can't help but notice are resident MAGA AMERICA #1 poster isn't posting nor was he serious in the politics thread.

That's more reasonable but that still doesn't make someone a bigot.

Some guys get turned off for all sorts of reasons. If someone can't get it past their heads that the person was a dude prior then you shouldn't judge them for that. They can still respect the individual without actually wanting to engage in a sexual relationship with them.

Thanks for that clarification. I don't agree that it'd be considered bigotry either, but it's definitely not a cut and dry scenario.

To be fair to Mumei his argument was that if you are physically and emotionally attracted to someone and the only thing that is stopping you is the idea that they are trans then you are engaged in bigotry. I don't buy it, but his argument wan't so binary.

Some guys were saying that they might be fine sticking with someone if they found out, but they could never marry them. Which was rejected. There was also a denial that a potential form of sexuality involved attraction to the idea of a life long partner that you could conceive and raise kids with, which was considered a cop out because you should adopt and should not care about having a biological child. Some people just have a thing against procreators it seems. Another big crux was that even if you acknowledged a trans-woman was a woman and would treat her as a woman full stop. It would be bigoted to acknowledge a difference in natural sex, or that there was a prior state of not being woman. In other words it couldn't play into your view, your language, or your attraction at all. Ultimately I think Mumei was demodded because the tone that was allowed to engender over some 30 some pages, all of which she was present for.

Transgender women are women

AIDS is not HIV.

But I know where arguing with you goes -- endless tedium.

"Transgender women are..." folks who if you want to have sex with, more power to you, but a lot of dudes don't want to, and that's okay, and not rationally worthy of condemnation, in the same way wanting to isn't.  Mumei's argument was that not wanting to fuck humans with a Y chromosome is to be bigoted against them.

Also, semantics about HIV and its end stage does not help produce a counter argument to the moral, civil, and criminal liability of deliberately infecting someone with a disease that will eventually kill them and in the meantime require exceedingly expensive medications for the remainder of their life.

So anyway, I don't think you should be labeled a bigot or hateful for not wanting to sleep with or be with a trans individual. Much like there are sexual preferences for skin tone, body shape and a plethora of other topics I myself want to be with a CIS gendered woman. Now we can argue if me not wanting to be with a trans women is in it self a denial of what they wish to be but I think it a tad totalitarian to force me to love something I don't.

That said go fuck yourself Jay.

'policing language'

are you fuckin kiddin me rn

If that’s all you took from my post then  :yeshrug

spoiler (click to show/hide)
I see some people are trying to secure their ResetEra™ account approvals

it's all your argument boils down to

someone asked a question, they aren't demanding people change their language. You are free to refer to all genders as "You guys" if you wish. There's no social stigma attached to it.

'policing language' is nonsense
Calm down guys, we’re all bros here. Aren’t we?

Lol I hope this was intentional.

Mumei's argument was basically that not wanting to fuck dudes made you a bigot.

It's not the single craziest Social Studies Warrior argument I had ever seen, but it's up there.

Also, giving someone AIDS on purpose is terrible and such an action warrants prison so the crazy fucker (pun not intended... I think) doing it is stopped.  Even if the incident rate is low, there's nothing inherently wrong with a criminal law that doesn't see much use.
Transgender women are women

AIDS is not HIV.

But I know where arguing with you goes -- endless tedium.

"Transgender women are..." folks who if you want to have sex with, more power to you, but a lot of dudes don't want to, and that's okay, and not rationally worthy of condemnation, in the same way wanting to isn't.  Mumei's argument was that not wanting to fuck humans with a Y chromosome is to be bigoted against them.

Also, semantics about HIV and its end stage does not help produce a counter argument to the moral, civil, and criminal liability of deliberately infecting someone with a disease that will eventually kill them and in the meantime require exceedingly expensive medications for the remainder of their life.

I mean I can tell you were triggered by me because I don't rabidly foam at the mouth when I see Donald Trump, someone I didn't vote for and dislike, as he is a fraud and not a man of principle, as well as someone who has supported Democrats and their causes, as well as someone who believes in trade protectionism not the free market...

... and I don't just kneejerk believe every inane leftwing conspiracy theory about him...

... and I see that offends you, and all I can say is, lol no1curr, eat shit.

Also I'd like to point out that him supporting democrats being on the same level as his shitheadedness speaks wonders about your priorities.

HIV is not a disease, the semantics between it and AIDS is relevant. AIDS is difficult to acquire unless you seek no treatment and your immune system buckles to the infection.

HIV, and even AIDS, rarely kills people in western countries with access to medicine. The medicine itself is available to those without the funds to acquire it, through subsidized insurance plans and state healthcare options.

So no, you are wrong here.

There have been many threads on not having attraction to certain races. I do think it's shitty to continually rag on about how your not into x. But the claim you can't have preferences is once again stupid.

In those threads the bans were mostly assholes, I don't think anyone serious denied the right to have preference. Though some still spun it as latent racism. I generally take the opposite view that racism stems from strong sexual preferences and disgust.

So no, you are wrong here.

Let me jump in here: My "airquotes" was because of this. It doesn't matter that it's "undetectable" in the US/western countries. The fact is: It's still a killer virus if you don't have those meds. The fact that the meds lengthen your life on them, is great and all. But you still have an incurable deadly/terminal virus.

It is kinda silly to deny there aren't physical traits associated with certain "races" and that maybe those physical traits are the negative factor for someone. I doubt changing the skin color would suddenly make the person attractive to them.

Not to say there aren't people who get weird about well, everything.

I just don’t see the issue with using the term “guys” as a catch-all. Do females really get offended if they’re referred to as “guys”? It’s pretty much a neutral term at this point. They’re policing language again.

The women in my Eve alliance usually use "guys" as well. But it seems most people in the thread agree that "guys" is perfectly fine, so I don't see the issue. We all know there are a bunch of weirdos out there, and we know Resetti has particularly high concentrations of particular types of crazies...
