NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

I don't know that she's being less retarded, just differently retarded. The people saying "pay the mods" presumably want it paid out of the site's revenue. For Nepenthe to demand the users pay her (and notably not any of the other mods) directly is asking them to effectively "pay" twice for the benefit of her "service".

If Dear Feeder was looking to cash in and was offered millions and millions of dollars and didn't sell out I'd start worrying that he had started glowing.

It's not like this forum isn't the end result of a series of migrations. It'll probably happen again some day.

It's nice he provides what he does here, but I wouldn't begrudge him the opportunity to surround himself with a harem of hambeasts serving his every whim, bathing him in bacon grease, and entertaining him in the jiggliest of ways.

To be fair atleast Null is the type to take lesser payout to ensure it gets sold to people like Thiel rather than people like Soros, so yeah even his foolish empathy for Chris shows Null has standarts,

Which reminds me is Brave credit stuff already working in Eastern Europe ?
 
How is no one talking about ResetERA making $700K a year with a 80% profit margin? That shit is insane. That is lowtax levels of dummy thicc stacks for doing nothing.

No, the CCP loves that the US is drowning in that degenerate shit, and will gladly fund and encourage more of it here.

They only crack down on that stuff whenever it seeps into their own country (or de-facto colonies).

At the NBA we feel it is important that we let the millionaires being paid for chasing a ball be allowed to voice their politics, even if those politics are directly disrepecting the society that allows them to make millions for playing a children's game, unless those politics run counter the CCP's mandates in which case we're going to post-haste ensure those house niggers apologize, shut the fuck up, and toe the goddamn line.
 
Also lol @ these people describing purchases by their Nintendo Switch equivalent and not in regular monetary terms. Truly life is stranger than fiction.
There's something poetic and sad about people paying to post on a video game forum and complain about video games, instead of having the money to buy a console and play said video games.

I can't believe a old school forum in this day and age could be worth so much. Kiwifarms in a just society should be worth $20 Million lol.
In a roundabout way, it realistically is. Cows like Randi Harper have historically offered 5 figures to have their ED pages deleted, and byuu was fake offering six figures to have his removed here. Thread by thread the farms is an extremely valuable site but finding someone willing to take the heat in the public rags for buying it is the hard part.

Is funny how in pages and pages the reality that Cerium did not give a shit about them and sold them at the first opportunity like a crypto that is going to crash evade them

You did it for free and are getting NOTHING
But don't you see? The opportunity cost of not selling the forum would be not being able to spend $4.5 mil. to further the great tranny crusade. Clearly, Cerium is doing this for the betterment of the community.

Whether or not it's immoral to not pay jannies wrangling your site for hours on end everyday, the facts remain that:

-The jannies applied to being jannies knowing full well that they're volunteering their free time to wrangle the site
-Just because a jannie is spending 12 hours a day cleaning up spew from the site, it doesn't mean Cerium should start paying them for it

Generally, places where community members apply for moderator also don't expect you to slave away for hours on end cleaning up reports, banning users etc. You're just doing it in your free time, the community/owners/admins thank you for it, but you aren't really expected to do it 8 hours a day, everyday. Cerium got lucky (?) that 20 something people are so zealous in keeping up the order on the site, but Cerium also could've just asked for more volunteers if said group of mods weren't enough.

I don't disagree that after the userbase grows to a certain size and no one else wants to be a volunteer mod you could start paying the mods to put in the time, but the lesson from this ordeal is to respect yourself and your free time enough to not slave away hours on end moderating a fucking "gaming" forum. Get a job. Get a hobby if you don't need a job. I hear fishing is "in" right now. (yes, I know some of these mods get their pecker up from having some perceived "power", but you know)
 
When you're too much of a faggoty gimp even to cope with RetardEra.
Maybe Cerium didn't need to pay the resetera jannies because they were making enough money off of Lowtax.
Imagine Isamu Fukui of all people turning out to be the most based of chinks, selling out his userbase to a corporation while troons cry pathetically.
I absolutely love that the mods successfully turned "holy shit this site was making a lot of money from ad revenue, maybe the people running it should get some of that" into "you should directly pay the mods yourself"
And they aren't getting a dime no matter how loud they whine!
So Cerium got 4.5 million for his forum. Lowtax is so rich off of his forums in lives in a McMansion and fucks tranny hookers. What does Null have?
His soul.
 
It makes sense in the context of a couple current conditions. One, gaming is a hot, hot sector right now, ever since the beginning of the pandemic. Lots of companies with lots of games looking to buy up lots of ad inventory. Two, Era can sell itself as having a very targeted and therefore very valuable audience, especially since you have to dish up FBI background check level dox to post there.

Plus, once the new parent company has it running on their own hosting and IT infrastructure the overhead is practically gone. Pay B-Dubs in the occasional Xbox gift card and the field hands keep working for free.

Honestly, if that 700K is a real revenue number $4.5 mil is if anything a pretty conservative valuation. Cerium wanted to get his money and get out now.

700k might have been a real number for the first year when every woke clickbait site promoted them briefly and they had all their new members and hadnt started mass banning everyone. They had game journos and developers and e-celebs around posting and shilling the site on twitter but even some of the most woke twats around soon realized the userbase were psychotic and washed their hands of it.
Even the bare minimum usefulness of ERA as a news source for sales and game announcements has been diminshed recently, banning some sales topics and an ever growing but never defined list of games banned from being covered.
The new owners say they know membership has "flatlined" but that's an extremely generous interpretation. "Bottomed out" would be more accurate
 
I see retards on twitter seeing this as a win if it destroys the website, it's like they have no recollection of Tumblr and how the exodus from there basically ruined the entire internet since all of those crazy people just spread out and went everywhere else. Every forum on the internet should stop accepting new members for a while just like this site does when something happens with reddit.
 
Holy shit, the levels of cope are at fucking BIBLICAL levels here. Nepenthe doesn't look to the chink that just pulled down a cool four and a half mil for compensation (that they painfully obviously want, but can't say that), but instead looks to the unemployable, BET receiving, mentally ill trannies for spending money.

These last 10 pages have been a riot. I honestly never saw Resetera ending like this. Bravo.
 
It funny that all these cunts will continue to jump ship, until they find a place they like and that sells for a couple mill, then do it all over again. I hope this cycle continues forvever, and they learn nothing from it.
