Imagine being one of the most protected communities on REEEsetera, to the point where you're the ones mainly responsible for fucking the whole thing up, and STILL complaining that you're not getting your way.
bcc is gutted and hangouts is too tucked away and inactive to gain more members, that must be it, era is mismanaging the hangouts section
except consider the following
- be black
- decide to join the fine forum Resetera which is a nexus of hardcore gamers, enthusiast press, and video game industry developers and publishers
- account approved after 1 month waiting period once they've done a background check on your email domain and registration IP
- introduce yourself to the welcoming and not-at-all neurotic and insular Era Black Culture Community
- be met with immediate and disproportionate distrust as to whether you are who you say you are
- toil away posting inane shit for 6 months in a slow moving thread because all the actual activity takes place on the discord
- somehow earn enough trust to get an invite to the discord and then get banned and shunned anyway when chatlogs leak just because you're the newest member
sounds like a winning formula for growing a healthy community
