Interesting. For NeoGAF, Alexa's top entry on its list of keywords already driving some traffic to this site is "painless ways to kill yourself", which according to Alexa presents an optimization opportunity.

Watching this forum go in a downward spiral towards a behind closed doors bork style forum is fantastic.

But the downside is that it may make it harder for new blood to join (perhaps another thread could be created for this purpose?)

They're so close to asking for photographic evidence of blackness

The best we can hope for is they write down an application form listing all their insane demands you have to agree with to enter, but that will never happen for the same reason era are never going to type out their insane list of banned people and subjects and why, because typing that shit out into a list will just underline the mental arbitrariness

This evilore vs. Cerium discussion 

Do you like your villains with or without any semblance of a spine and their own set of beliefs? Then that's who you'll prefer.

Both made terrible forums. One was far more effective in creating his awful vision.

Anyone have metrics on the popularity? I don’t have access to detailed page rank stuff any more, sadly.
Wait.. are you implying either of them has a spine and a true set of beliefs?

lol.. since Cerium barely says anything, I'm assuming you mean Tyler?

Man some ridiculous things said about that guy today.

No I don't mean Tyler, of course, you dummy. I interacted a lot with Cerium near the beginning, and he actually believes the bad policies are morally good. And while he caved sometimes like for the site restructure, other times he stood his ground. Hence, "semblance." RE is what he envisioned it to be, for the most part, except for the declining popularity.

Any one have stats on the popularity? I no longer have detailed page rank metrics anymore sadly.

Given the dearth in the representation of female protagonists (esp, women of colour), I have noticed this steadfast practice of mine to always play as a female character and preferably of colour.

 

IIRC, the first game I did was with ME3 (chose default FemShep's model). I will always hold EA responsible for not prominently featuring the awesome FemShep during ME1 and 2 marketing campaigns.Since then, I have recreated both fictitious and non-fictitious women in games inhabiting female characters as my avatars. I tell you now, I don't think I could go back playing as a guy anymore.

Fun examples:

Outerworlds (still have to actually play the game). Named her after what I would name my daughter, if I ever adopted one):

Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire (in queue to played after Shadowrun DF). For some reason, my mind went to Nepenthe who is a practitioner of the martial arts, Capoeira, as her fictitious reflection in this game:

(He named the character Nepenthe )

The AI Somnium files thread got real spicy 

The guy who discovered that the Metacritic score was manipulated was actually the guy who did it.

Edit: Since this post is starting to get spread around (What baggage is saying is indeed the case.) because Uchikoshi himself linked the thread. I'd like to quickly note that this was not "done out of nowhere" like people are suggesting. It was specifically in response to the recent discourse of Warcraft 3 Reforged, becoming the "worst reviewed game on Metacritic". Which i found to be a bit ridiculous considering the countless cases of people similarly damaging review scores of perfectly good games (Reforged isn't even that bad of a remaster IMO, a lot of the "controversy" surrounding it is that they decided not to completely redo the cutscenes. Which they stated multiple times pre-release that they were scaling back on.)

The plan was to make a proper thread a few days after my tests were finished, demonstrating how you can easily turn any obscure game into one of the best or worst games of all time with just a few hours of work. Hence why i ended up archiving everything each step of the way. Anyone who's familiar with my previous threads (Or watched the Gamexplain video on Tomohiro Kawasae) knows i like doing investigative articles on Gaming, and this was going to be no different.

But Akira Okada ended up discovering that i had tanked the score for AI hours after i did it, and the whole story basically blew up from there.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ai-the-somnium-files-was-review-bombed-on-metacritic-from-8-2-to-1-9-in-1-day.169064/post-28953714

On top of that, he did it because he has some weird obsession with a virtual youtuber and didn't like that the protagonist makes sex jokes

To reiterate my thoughts on the game from previous threads. I loved most of the A-set videos and found them to be incredibly endearing, even developing a massive crush on her due to my general attachment issues. But i hated the actual game for how it basically ignores everything said videos were trying to build up

the protagonist being a unlikable asshole who's sole character trait is "hehe funny sex joke" + basically spends 90% of the game completely abandoning his adoptive daughter, and the fact that i personally find the storyline it uses instead to be complete and utter nonsense filled with plot holes and ridiculous logic.

In the end B-Damagecontrol-Dubs swoops in and locks the thread

Mystery solved, I suppose.

EDIT: Mystery definitely solved

Mist (Admin) said:

Discussing more with our tech team, the two options we have in regards to privacy for the BCT are:

1. Hiding the thread from unregistered people.
2. Having the thread be password protected.

The first option would not stop registered lurkers from seeing the thread, so it may not be that effective. It would at least offer more privacy than there currently is.

The second option would offer a lot more security. And we would leave it up to you as to who would get permission to enter the thread. The thread would still be viewable to staff and still follow the forum rules, of course. But the downside is that it may make it harder for new blood to join (perhaps another thread could be created for this purpose?). Members who have stopped posting due to privacy concerns would be able to return, though.

So as you can see neither solution is exactly perfect, but if either of these solutions seem appealing to you all, please do let us know, and we can sort it out for you. We could also employ both of these options if that would be preferred.

I like how the listed downside is, “it may make it harder for new blood to join,” and not, you know, segregating your black community from the rest of the forum.

[clothedmacuser]

Round two of discussing Jussie Smollent and ERA's reaction will be fun after the BCC SUMMIT. 


Will the mods further lean into banning everyone who pointed out how sketchy his story was?  Will they capitulate and show they are firmly in BCT's pocket by banning everyone who "victim blames" the Juss?  Will they just lock the thread after DigitalOP goes on a racist rant about how it's really "Hollywood" and "Global Media," that caused this as a way to save face?  How unproductive will the discussion be?

Stay tuned!

What's the point of having a mock discord on your forum

I guess you could argue for a purely private forum really, in concept. Something Awful is a bit like that isn't it, with a lot of old content behind the pay wall ?

Would totally crap the commercial viability, push new membership to flatline and kill the lingering myth that GAF ERA is a big influencer forum (for videogames or progressive takes).

Sounds all the more dumb since Discord is already pretty opaque to outsiders, save for a few saucy leaks.
