Abundant :optimistic: aside, just treat no-no games like explicit images on a booru: make them completely invisible unless you’re logged in and enabled the “view explicit games” option in your account settings.
That's not enough to satisfy the trannies. Their issue isn't that they can see the game, it's that you can play it. There can be no compromise with them here because that would require the game to still be on the site.

Another long time user and contributer for developing sets and helping with the various events in LadyNadia has offered their thoughts on tele's wall. Like a lot of people, they're disgusted by Scott's response and the site's general lack of remorse towards tomojin and other users losing hours of work and sets they've created.
 
Hahahaha. Very tolerant. Stunning and brave even.
You don't have to be tolerant of people you let yourself believe are horrible, evil, racist, bigot, transphobes who will literally kill your dog. That's the great thing about being left leaning, there's no sense of nuance! Just black and white, no real need to think!

I don't think these are fools understand repercussions. They're like children. Sure ban Tele, a reasonable, nice guy, not being inflammatory. Just trying to have a conversation. Imagine all the other developers that'll leave if he gets banned. The trannies will be left with a dying site, and have to pick up all the slack.

6 months from now all the good developers left, and only trannies are making sets.
Site user: Excuse me mr, Mrs xim/xer person....thing. Some achievements on a set you published are broken, could you fix them?
Tranny set creator: ExCusE ME!? YouR criticisM makeS ME feeL unsafe! BANNED!!!
Trannies: Why isn't anyone joining RA anymore? Must be the natzees.
 
The website (including the backend) and client-side libraries that emulators use are all on Github. Anybody could spin up a new retro achievements site tomorrow, but they'd have to set up the actual achievements again. Somebody like tele who's been an admit a long time could probably get his hands on a database backup. Even if he can't at this point, anybody from the engineering team who doesn't like this direction could do it as well.
 
Nobody is going to do that. People will talk about how that's possible, and it'll never get done. The shit with TCRF blackpilled me hard and I was offering to help pay for servers and stuff because while I don't have the abundance of time to do the technical work I at least wanted to help alleviate the financial woes of someone who was in the opposite predicament. Sure, forking RA is entirely possible. But it ain't gonna happen. People will bitch and moan, RA will bleed users until it's an insignificant (or much less of a significant) blip, and some other thing will come around that people will get interested in.

XKeeper & Company win again, because those parasites have all the free time in the world for their crusades because nary a single one of them have a fucking job or any sort of real life responsibilities like a career, marriage, or family/kids to take care of ("adulting is hard" is their life motto). People like Scott, as retarded as he is, just don't fucking care. He has actual shit to tend to in his offline life and this isn't a dealbreaker for him. None of us, the people who give a shit about an internet that doesn't suck donkey dick, have the resources to invest in making it not suck because we're all busy with more important shit. This is entropy winning in slow motion.

I'd be willing to lend a hand with an RA fork too, I could probably even swing a similar-sounding domain that's already ready to go if I can pull the right strings with a buddy. But I'm not sure if it's even worth the trouble to look into.

edit: I had a momentary bout of ESL and fixed typos

Guess this is what I get for trying to put achievements in Nintendo games.
Oh well, could never get RA working on my Vita anyway.
I wonder if we'll get to the point where loading Clover up or something with one of the banned hashes gets your account banned. Good to see them putting funny Pokemon 4chan hacks on the same level as the real life child pornography PS2 game!

"The only exception is if a game contains content that is illegal to own or distribute, regardless of its rating status."

Time to be consistent, RA!

I can only imagine the fallout that would come from banning or otherwise silencing tele. We're beginning to see the site bleed devs and dedicated players from the recent bouts of retardation.

Don't worry.I just came up with a brilliant idea! What if we get Donald Trump to tweet about retroachievements! The trannies will shit their fucking pants/fursuits! *smug*

In all honesty, though, i've been on the site for the last five or so years, and I can attest to what this user's saying. I've never seen anything personally because i'm not a develope, and i'm not on discord. But i've heard whispers here and there from other devs quitting about being fed up with the community. Never quite knew what to think of it till now.

I wouldn't count your chickens on this. There are currently more set devs than they really need, considering the annual output and the direction the site is going. Learning how to make a set isn't difficult either, provided you can do basic addition. Tele has the hardest job to teach, but it's not impossible. 6 months of training someone to manage hashs and breaking in new devs, maybe dumping that dumb Jr. title, and the average player won't notice the difference.

¿Can someone confirm how involved has Scott been with the community in the last years?

Because i don't think him, someone that supposedly "cares" about RA would see the growing amount of deadweight troons setting camp on the page, the users and devs taking their shit and leaving and the growing resentment of the users who are one bad move away from joining the latter and think that the page is going to end well

Unless that's what he actually wants to happen

You mean well, but you're aiming at the wrong target; the only way to overcome people like this and their ideology is to do what places like the Farms are good at--documenting and cross-referencing their strategies and their origins. You can't expect to beat back a forest fire with just a few cups of water at a specific spot.
XKeeper & Company win again,
No they fucking don't--the only reason they "win" in the first place is because their duplicitous nature makes them appear to be in more places than they actually are, but they're like a shark; intimidating to watch and hear about, but they have to be on the move, they have to be continually be part of "the relentless march of History" in one form or another, or they die due to not actually having any substance of their own to rely on. This--
because those parasites have all the free time in the world for their crusades because nary a single one of them have a fucking job or any sort of real life responsibilities like a career, marriage, or family/kids to take care of ("adulting is hard" is their life motto).
--in other words the grounding in the here and now of everyday life, is what they lack, and what will ultimately end up killing their desire to fight and strive and destroy, all in the name of their utopia that is nothing more than a collective dream that has turned into a nightmare for millions of people.

No, it's something terribly worse; an outright declaration that all we've accomplished as a species has been a mistake, and the only inevitable solution is to roll it all back and eliminate everything and everyone that believes otherwise. The ideology that has infected this and so many other parts of society is, put plain and simple, a cult that worships death--and those who fight so hard for it do so because they have no other hope.

They are to be understood and pitied, not feared.
 
¿Can someone confirm how involved has Scott been with the community in the last years?
On an administration level? Minimally, this entire incident has been the first time he's vocal about issues in the community in quite some time, even years. Usually, the other members of the staff handle operations for him. The dude is a normalfag for the most part. Much of his contributions and dev work were in his earlier years. The big reason why this has wound up poorly for the userbase has been the fact that he's just ill-equipped for policing troons and having principles.
 
The guy who's actually been running things for a while is tele, and he's the one who's become the figurehead the disillusioned devs and users are rallying around. Is he likely to succeed with a replacement service? Nope, but this is a case where the guy doing the mundane, boring work that keeps the site churning is ready to bail. It's not redditors getting mad and making a new subreddit or somebody forking a git repo to use a politically correct code of conduct.
 
I tried going through some of the replies to the announcement on bluesky. I've never been on there before, nor do I have an account. It sadly is just an echo chamber. Basically agree with us, or your a nazi, lets start making a list of people that support this. Attempting to bully Nepiki (hamster guy) into banning people. Trying to look at all this stuff made me want to take a break from this shit.

I had the intention of screencapping some stuff but was just disgusted. You can view all the stuff on blue sky without an account. I don't even know if it's worth it for anybody to look through. Maybe to get a laugh.

Stay safe kiwi bros and broetts. Let's all remember to go outside once in a while, and interact with people we may not agree with so we don't become like these retards .

He made a joke set for a joke game for April Fools two years ago and then spent two days being angry because people were telling him is was fucking terrible.
