I knew Evilore was going to Newspeak the new OT on GAF but I didn't realize until I just went over that he was going to go full 1984 and just delete the entire history of posts on that side.

So far so good for ResetEra.

At 15,000 members and the board is much more civil and friendly than I can remember GAF ever being.

We will see if it last but so far....

And also the moderation has been extremely benign so far with only a few bans for obvious trolling and mostly just warnings to people.

Joe, it depends.

Does Trump's charity have A ratings from both major watchdogs? Does it distribute most of the AIDS medication in Africa? Do I personally know two people from my grad school who went to work there and are passionate about their mission? Is Trump a lifelong public servant instead of a lifelong con-man in this scenario?

I'm just asking if party affiliation plays a role in how you judge things. 

IMO, the most rational approach is not to declare guilt or innocence based suppositions and statements from political parties.  It looks bad enough from the outside that having an investigation is a good idea, just like the one for Trump.

Not necessarily party affiliation. Anything pushed by Fox News or Hannity is suspect though.

Basically a major problem in this country is that right-wing media lies about absolutely everything. There's probably no greater force for dishonesty in our country.

All major media (Fox, NBC, ABC, CNN, et. al.) is right wing propaganda. There is absolutely zero actual journalism coming from the networks many call "liberal."

I think they allow someone to contest names if you can prove your longstanding connect with the name. But you would obviously have to register under a different name first.

In all the drama and lulz of the past few days, Jack saying he doesn't have a hard on for Hillary is probably the funniest thing I've seen on all 3 boards.

Would you say I have a hard on for Obama?

I supported him even more vehemently, particularly in like 2009-2012, and then again in 2014.

Supporting one politician = normal, but supporting another = shilling and having a hard on?

Considering adblock, the low CPM on Adsense and such and I imagine the lack of contacts in the ad industry for gaming and such, they might be better off just doing it with Patreon or something like that for a while. I can see the active users donating a few bucks a month and that can add up, at least covering server costs and a bit extra.

If moderation stays benign as it is now I would be amendable to paying a small membership fee to ResetEra. GAF-level moderation would be another matter.

Where am I wrong, Stro?

Weird how you manage to get yourself involved in 20 posts a day about Hillary even when not addressed to you, and have been doing this daily across multiple threads for multiple months straight, but you really don't care about her.

Don't know what their hosting solution is but they better start setting those ad accounts up.

Hosting a party that the majority of the whole gaming part of the internet want to join in is inevitably going to make a number on them.

Hey, I promise I won't use Adblock for a while as I did on GAF :doge

Only skimmed through it but the site's boring. There's no action. I'll give it some time before we have circular debates about random shit that will actually be entertaining to watch.  :doge

....I'm just kidding, Tyler.  :patel

No, I don't think they should get greedy and start slapping on ads. Will stink to high heaven.
A patreon type thing to get people to voluntarily part with their money while you hype up how the new thing won't have shitty virus ads.

They should temper their expectations of money, greed will tear the site apart if they aren't careful.

Whatever floats the boat. Got to be a good long term solution in place at some point.

Outrage culture still there. People that aren't playing any games telling other like-minded people how they "thought about getting the game, but are now voting with their wallet"
