They still fucking think the trans community there struggles to be heard 

Wait, there's a trans community on resetera?

Well fancy that. Never noticed 'em.

[Averon]

To make this shit work, they either need to keep running on free labour or they need to drastically increase revenue.

The curtain has dropped as far as the amount of revenue the site generates, so the willingness to mod the place for free will be lower and they will need to have actual employees involved.

That means their willingness to continue to give certain prayers free passes on their shit behaviour is going to end, and we know how that will turn out.

These Moba people are fucking dickheads.

People like Kyuuji and Astro will no longer be protected (as much).

I would think that the CDPR bullshit Kyuuji pulled last year will no longer fly now. The new owners clearly want to make money from ERA, and that ain't going to happen with users trying to get entire games and popular developers/puublishers banned from being discussed outside of a negative context.

For some reason or another I swear mods live in some folk's heads rent free.

Well they have to, since they're not getting paid.

SocialistRE bitching about neoliberals but they have so many shit takes:

People who do all the work should take all the profit. That's it. Not a new belief.

Their work is badly moderating a free video game forum. They were so incompetent at it that they have created more problems for themselves for 4 years just because they got addicted to the powertrip it gives them. If the forum was run competently they would established clear community guidelines so cut their work by half (even if they are lying by their teeth with shit like “It requires two or three to ban someone”).

Mixed feelings on the sale but if the staff are still here then I'll remain positive that they believe the elements that are important to them, and a lot of us, will hold true.

Lol, the new owners are already working on a strategy to permanently ban you without causing a ruckus, you dumb cunt.

That’s why nobody in that thread is snapping and starting calling people niccas, distinguished mentally-challenged fellows and feggits. They know there is still the possibility that the mods are so pathetic that they will still be mods after all this.

Seriously. Sure, the mods were informed before this went public...well after the contracts were already signed. Wouldn't be surprised if the contracts were signed last week and the mods were only informed about it just 2-3 days ago at most.

[Potato]

To be honest, who the hell buys Era, the forum is so close to imploding every day haha.


It feels like they didn't do their homework haha

It's hilarious watching this slow realisation that they've absolutely been lied to for 4 years.

Shenlong: "we knew"


bruh if they knew and they were still modding  fucking why 

[Averon]

The new owners are already talking about growing their investment, that almost certainly means that big new games won't be relegated to single threads if they have problematic elements like CP2077 and HP (which I believe was the plan, or was at least being discussed).

Ha Astro's worried they no longer will have the power to pigeon-hole games they find "icky" into single threads.

[wsippel]

Btw, who buys a forum in 2021?  Fucking swedes

They bought mmorpg.com in 2020, for $1.25 million. That site was a woke trash fire as well and already way past its prime, it's basically the laughing stock of the MMO world. I'm not bored enough to check if anything changed after MOBA's acquisition though. At least in that case, I could see them buying the site just for the domain.

[Potato]

Never seen Cerium ever.

At a first glance at his post count… you would prolly assume he was a LURKER and not the proud owner of the site lol

Lol. He's the proud owner of 4.5 million dollarydoos, plus the half million a year in annual profit you fucking idiots.

[Boredfrom]

If anything, some at MOBA Network were probably already regretting buying the forum after the DQ Composer thread. They are truly dumb assholes if they let a similar thread fly again. Or stuff like “THQ are pedo enablers” or “Kingdom Come is nazi propaganda” or “Justice for Alison Rapp”.

I seriously doubt they knew Cerium was looking to sell the site before any contracts were signed. More likely is that they were informed well after all the ink dried on those contracts. Cerium wasn't going to let someone like Nep fuck with his money.

Even then, if you knew before he went public but after it was a done deal why wouldn't you just peace the fuck out  the guy got 4.5 mill fuck doing his work for him 

[joeboy101]

Gotta respect Cerium's hustle, though pulling the wool over the eyes of that user group is nothing too taxing, especially given the cannon fodder he had dealing with it.

Also...

Era: pay the mods!

also Era: let’s make joke threads and create unnecessary work for the mods!

Yes, JOKE threads are what caused all that work for the mods.

 

[Potato]

I wonder how long until they realise that it's now probably not a capital offence to discuss Cerium and Bdud's racist history is histories...

[Propagandhim]

If they knew about the deal, then it makes those Blizzard convo threads even more disingenuous.

Shenlong is totally a ModBot esque account (the user that used to have it just fucks up or “lend it”). Unless there is someone like Nephente saying shit, they didn’t knew or not at this extent.

Did Nephente have a contract to moderate a forum for free?

[Averon]

https://www.resetera.com/threads/resetera-ownership-update.499677/page-20#post-75202380

I'm still processing some of this but I can offer some thoughts later.

For now I just want to say I am glad you got the deal through Cerium. As with all mods, we don't always see eye to eye but there is no doubt that you have spent years supporting the site behind the scene with the rest of us. I am so glad you can begin your journey of recovery in mental health. As a moderator I can walk away when it gets too much and every mod, community and member has shown support in times that I do take breaks because of the toll it can take. I cannot imagine the strain of having to site's responsibility on your shoulder. I hope you enjoy a long break and find peace and happiness.

Does this sound like a mod that was informed about this sale well ahead of time?

[Potato]

Crying at Era Clear being a thing while Cerium was pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly.


Dude must've been laughing for years seeing the type of threads for fair pay this forum usually rallies for.

The slow realisation that you've been cucked for 4 years...

Nephente alluded one time that she was moderating the forum because “she was forced”. Is she getting paid or she is stupid enough to firm something for nothing in return. Unless she sold her part of the company to cerium with the condition of being an Admin for a period of time until the sale... but that would make her dumber than Slayven...

how can yu be forced to mod a forum, just log out and close the tab

[Potato]

Jason Schreier knew this was going to happen two years ago.

This comment wins the thread.

[Propagandhim]

Nepenthe has posted a few times how she makes nothing from the site, and supporting a progressive, grassroots community through exhaustive labor and mental breakdowns is its own pay.  If you think about it, Cerium is actually the sucker in this situation!

[Boredfrom]

The guy just got 4.5 million of dollars for selling a shitty video game forum to a clueless Sweden company. Get a fucking grip.

[Raist]

I like the little extra attention to detail from Cerium changing his tag to "The Former"

[Borealis]

All I'm seeing is apart from the tech team, B-Dubs the GM^TM really did and does this all for freeeeee.

Cerium saw the sinking ship signs and left these traumatised goofs in the dust. Same group of idiot mods married to power user cliques fucking up his money bag over the past few years.

You would think MOBA aren't going to be letting the shitters and their cucked mods fuck up it further. 

Add a like button you cowards.

Correct. Seeing that tag probably gave bdubz a lil stiffy too

[Boredfrom]

. You're allowed to have problems with the way the mods make certain decisions, especially in regards to minority communities on here, while still thinking they should be paid. It's not hypocritical in the way broadly opposing sinophobia but then still making sinophobic statements is because the motivations for the two beliefs is different. The former is based on believing the qualms and flaws related to moderations the minority groups have spoken out about. The latter is based on opposition to the idea of free labor conceptually and believing that everyone needs to be paid for what ultimately amounts to labor. 

 

 

[Boredfrom]

Does the mod team really understands that Cerium just exploited them, or at least that was the impression he is making given how little involved was with the community in public. The guy could be the most compassionate and sensitive guy in the private discords, but for most people it looks like he let you all guys to do whatever you wanted in exchange of little involvement in public (and getting all the money).

[Boredfrom]

Era hasn't been that all fun and games but through it i gotten to know some great people and Transistor. Finale Fireworker and B-Dubs are giving folks and played therapist for me way too many times. And Nepenthe like most black women put up with way too much foolishness and still be ready for a good laugh

if it wasn't for it would be wandering the streets talking about the accepting Darkhawk as your lord and savior

 


Jesus, dude. That is sad. Why the fuck you are a mod?

[Propagandhim]

I don't have a problem with

- The mods, any of them
- Cerieum getting paid

Era's downfall is largely the result of the its own community. CryptoERA - which I know many of you don't care about and want gone anyways, was a small community that had to be pretty insulated outside of their OT because every crypto related thread descended into the following exchange:

"Crypto is killing the planet!"

Here's a list of coins that don't use a lot of energy though.

"Well I never heard about those so they don't count."

They are some of the most commonly used coins. Many of them are used far more than Bitcoin.

"Crypto is destroying the planet!"

Many of the newer coins use Proof of Stake.

"Proof of steak isn't vegan, it's still immoral."

I am not surprised to hear that other communities have also left. Seems like PC-Era went through a similar cycle.

Crypto dude is back and inserting himself here

Of course they do. They're just not going to admit it to themselves. Imagine Nep Nep waking up to another overdue bill and the realisation that Cerium just became a multi millionaire.

Slayven, you can still be friends with all those people without being a glorified dead potato and scum enabler as a mod. It sounds a little disingenuous to say “I love this guys” and trying being humble when you would have been stripped of thread making privileges years ago if you weren’t a mod. A lot of stuff they have said and done has been vile and not exactly “just fun or games”. And even then, you guys are not unscathed given how Nephente seems to be traumatized.

If you were in that deep end, sell your comic collection (if you have one) and get a real therapist. Friends are cool and all, but it can backfire if they just enable just worst instincts or, worse, use you.

PLanetsmasher had 10 years of comedy school. Must be godlike at cheering people up considering how pleasant he is on the forums

The worst part of having a job?  The feeling of getting paid.

[Sideshow Raheem]

To make this shit work, they either need to keep running on free labour or they need to drastically increase revenue.

The curtain has dropped as far as the amount of revenue the site generates, so the willingness to mod the place for free will be lower and they will need to have actual employees involved.

That means their willingness to continue to give certain people free passes on their shit behaviour is going to end, and we know how that will turn out.

These Moba people are fucking dickheads.

There'll always be a crop of kiddies willing to work for free for a drop of power, real or imagined.
