Can someone explain to me why a decentralized/community driven forum is preferred over a forum with financial backing?

Only post ever made by this account.

well done owner. very well played and a decision that will ultimately be beneficial to this community and its future success.

from memory, Era barely got by with the advertising dollars and I expect that has remained true throughout the years.

Can someone explain to me why a decentralized/community driven forum is preferred over a forum with financial backing?

my assumption is teenagers who haven't experienced how the real world works yet

Let me tell you, I brough a refurbish pair of Sennheiser's for 20 bucks. Best headphones i ever owned. Last 5 years then the cord started to short

 

I'm legitimately down to never make fun of Slayven ever again.

What’s wrong with him? I don’t remember him being like that on GAF. It’s like his brain is turning to mush.

That’s what happens when you have B-Chuds and Cerium as your therapists 

He said he was going to end like a hobo if it wasn’t for RE Mods, and I don’t think he was exaggerating.

slayven got to "celebrity poster" level on gaf, especially when it came to comics. it got the point that whenever he posted an opinion he had a huge number of people that just accepted that opinion and religiously argued it for him. it was really fucking odd. like, he'd say X character is terrible and suddenly half the site would spew the same crap over and over again. it probably went to his head.

Uh-oh, new wave of questions in the Ownership thread and only Royalan to hold back the tide.

It’s hard for everyone to know about the issue when it’s stuck here in the announcement thread on a banner that everyone dismisses because there’s very little said on that banner. A stickied topic on both gaming side and etc side would see more views. At the very least, give more details on the banner itself. Unfortunately, it seems the mods think differently.

The fact that I learned this news from gaming news site outside the forum instead of inside the forum itself is telling despite being anecdotal.

Sure it's the teens not living in the real world?

site was making 700k a year at an 80%+ margin. Unless I'm an idiot and dont understand what 80% profit margin means, working backwards you you can infer from this that the combined costs of hosting plus web dev was 175k a year.

something awful owner mentioned a page back that the costs of hosting SA is $1600 a month, aka about 20,000 a year. So 155k for 3(?) web developers aka standard/low 50k a year salary.

mods and admins were volunteers

this is me just going off public information and my own moron math, but yeah. wouldn't be hard to make the site profitable if you have a decent swell of people. and you could be doing some crazy shit if you funneled 700k a year back into the community. even if you paid yourself like 100k salary for the apparent mental anguish installing a forum software and commissioning two skins takes on a man

barely getting by with those ad dollars. lmao. why spread misinformation.

To be honest, it takes a lot more to justify not posting sticky announcements than it does to just make them. I cant imagine a single downside to a mod making a sticky thread in 5 seconds

I admit, I did dismiss it initially. This was because I thought it was a simple passover between admins or a new admin being announced or something. There’s very little people who knew that Cerium owned everything and that this announcement would drop a bomb shell. Like the others who posted before in the thread, I thought it was jointly owned by the staff and specifically the admins.

I think if the banner was worded a little bit better, it wouldn’t be as easily dismissable.

Between the tag begging, member number bragging and airing out grievances, there’s a lot of derailment that contributed to making the thread big. I wouldn’t say everything being talked about here is about the acquisition itself.

Between all this commentary, of course he hits home at the significant point.

Tag begging didn't happen until this thread was at 80+ pages.

Cream-of-Wheat man rapidly becoming a favorite poster. I anticipate an Alt Ban anytime now.

I wasn't deluded enough to believe Era was run by a tribunal of anime avatars, but I sure didn't think there was a sole proprietor making bank like that. It's our fault for not asking questions, I guess. Like, who even are the staff? Aside from the vocal ones in the thread. Do we have by-laws/a mission statement of any sort aside from the legalese found in the ToS? I don't think the implied "play nice, children" counts. For example, if we want to forbid discussion of certain outlets or devs or political leanings, shouldn't that be explicitly stated somewhere? The murkiness is just one of the things fueling the ban happiness and in-fighting.

The site was founded on a sentiment of community, and I think it explains why people are rightfully feeling a loose sense of ownership. A lot of us were here from the jump. If the true reason for leaving the other place was to adopt a more egalitarian style in the wake of an alleged problematic owner, then some of this doesn't make sense. He was at least transparent enough to say, "yall better get on with that bullshit."

Regardless I'm shouting down the theatrical calls to leave. I didn't like it the last time and don't want to see it again. The brand is strong. It attracts all kinds of people worldwide, even industry professionals. Like, I legit ran a Destiny raid with a Bungie employee I met. That kind of shit is priceless and can't be easily replicated by perpetually starting new forums. I just want more transparency, mod professionalism 👈 and accountability.

Sony will not sell their First Party games Day and Date on the PC cause it does not make much sense for them. PC is not their platform, they don't even own a Store. In contrast to MS. PC is their platform and they also own a Storefront. Futher more, Gamepass PC is another big reason for them to release games Day and Date.

They want people to join their eco System. Getting people on the Playstaion means they will buy more games there, PS+, DLCs and so on. Getting games on PC will just open the gate for more people to enjoy Sony Franchises and lure them over to get a Playstation. This game releases few months before GOW2 hits, enough time for people to get hyped for it. Plus, it opens the Gate to a bunch of Streamers to play the game again or for the first time, further building up hype for the successor.

Guns are not cool in the slightest, if you think they are it's because you haven't experienced the trauma of what they're designed to do.

What's the deal with them jumping to blame media first? Guns in movies somehow don't cause gun violence in europe. Take a guess where the real problem might lie.

That's still on you, man.

Repeating it doesn’t make it true. It only makes you look stupid.

And if the MOBA corp got some rep here to personally say the words, you'd be all "Oh, thank goodness, I was worried the mods were lying to me, but a corperate rep would never be dishonest"? I doubt it.

Oh, they can lie all they want. At least I’ll know they lied. For the mods, even if in their hearts, they believe that what they say is true and that’s what they’re trying to do, it can easily be overturned by MOBA and we’ll never know what the truth is.

Oh no that was absolutely bait

Aw love you too!

For a parting message to you all in this thread I will again post my "Honest and Unbiased" opinion about the team here. Hope you enjoy the read 😁.

Let me tell you, I personally don't care about the mods, I don't know them personally and I don't care to. What I care about as an user of the site is the overall health of the site itself. I want the mods to be paid and I also think what mod team we have currently is kinda bad.

I am not gonna go ahead call them power abusers, stupid, grudge holders or authotorian or any of that, like most of the userbase dose.

But you know what I will call them?

"INCOMPETENT".

Their poor management and work has caused communities to leave the site. This didn't occur only once, this happened time after time even after we get empty promise of "we will do better". They demonstrated again and again that they don't understand the community, are terrible at damage control, leave openings that can be easily used against them to flare up the situation further and multitude of other problems.

If I was a owner of the site, do you expect me to keep such people in the staff who actively causes communities to leave along with the traffic and revenue they used to bring? I would be stupid if I want to. These people are bad for my business's bottom line, PR and reputation.

As a user of this site, do I want these people who causes the communities and the reason I visited these site to leave? I would rather not.

And it may be hard to hear but for a community, a part of community is much more important than it's staff.

Now the reasons I want them to be paid:
1) Free work for a million dollar corporation kinda goes against my values.
2) They won't be able to hide behind "thankless job" shield and would be held more accountable.

Hopefully I made my position clear without being an "Toxic" user who is a hypocrite for basing mods and wanting them to get paid.

Thanks.

Waited a week to perm this one.
