Think of how utterly disconnected you have to be from the realities of the world to have been given the gift of a very good living wage, one that you did nothing to earn, and then to treat that golden goose so shoddily that it up and dies on you.

I'm struggling to think of another real world example of someone tanking a company so hard and suddenly.

Harvey Weinstein or Dick Fuld on the grand scale.

Seriously though, how fucking shady is it to hide 32 million posts AND disable any public, visual evidence that anything has been edited given that feature was standard for years.

I bet a lot of GAF posters have no idea the "Last Edited" info has been removed entirely.

The majority will be excited if besada is made a mod because they don't know he's an asshole who looked for reasons to ban. All they know about bish is the funny ban gifs. A lot  the users didn't even know evilore was a creep before since GAF was the only place they went and that stuff was scrubbed. Even if they got links they would dismiss it since the sites pushing it were shitholes like voat. Where was that great investigative "gaming journalist" Jason Schreier? Just ignoring evilores deeds to get traffic to kotaku.

I agree that most users are probably not too familiar with the drama but I've read quite a few remarks clearly voicing the desire that ERA moderation should be a clean break (implying not everyone was satisfied of the old ways). I mean, the very essence of the foundation of ERA was a rebellon against administration, I would like to think this means the userbase will be more mindful and vigilant at management than they were in the past.

Insofar as I can tell, any chatter you hear about neogaf mods jumping aboard as Reset mods/admins is either intentional misinformation (ie that era_besada account) or just a misunderstanding that some of the old GAF mods were in the Discord chats talking to era staff in a pseudo-advisory capacity. I don’t know what the future holds, but for the most part I think most GAF mods are content to not serve that role anymore and I imagine most of the Reset staff are probably content to prove themselves while also not be eager to irritate the user base that is applauding a clean break from the old guard.

Advisory capacity. What does that even mean, old gaf mods have zero skills or knowledge worth anything running a forum.

Ouch.

Reddit was rather awful back then. Very unreadble.  The issue with Digg is that it ignored its community and was too late fix things.

All these GAF posters talking about the toxicity of the RE when the that place at a glance is anything but. It's the least combative spinoff with the smoothest transition, most traction and positive coverage that I can think of. Outlets such as Eurogamer are even writing about it. I don't care enough to participate in either, but calling it otherwise is disingenuous.

No, Digg v4 was a ground-up rewrite that had constant crashes and automated publisher-submitted content through RSS feeds, which many users saw as contrary to Digg's "anyone can submit a link to hit the front page" ethos. So they revolted. The constant crashes probably didn't help either.

The relative "niceness" of ResetEra is a testament to how toxic GAF had become.

Can you comment on the existence of a secretive group called the Elders of which GAF Mods are suspected to be members ? Very little is known about them so it seem safe to assume they've been masterminding GAF's demise and propping ResetEra as a step towards apparent world domination and/or white genocide ?

I have multiple sources in the number of one talking about this : Source

I know I am putting you at personal risk with this question, but Resetters must know the truth. I always suspected you enforced your bloodthirsty tyranny to shield us from a greater evil. For greater safety you can like my post to confirm those sickening rumors.
