Support NeoGAF

[StreetsofBeige]

I think half of them don't want to admit what is happening because ERA is their real life and their actual real life is miserable or non existent. Its sad TBH. To admit otherwise will crush them.

Yup.

Thats what happens when someone takes something too close to heart. When it comes admitting defeat, it's like a vampire just got a giant Home Depot 2x4 drilled into their aorta.

Family and friends? Makes sense to be close.

A video game message board? Political party? PM or President? Who cares. Flip flop between sites or whichever candidate is best. Hell, it's not like users own the site or personally know the politician as a next door neighbour.

Instead of just flipping sides for whats best, it's like they'll MAYBE mosey on over with the tail between their legs.

That should be too sad.
I don’t want to be believe that is really true

Very true especially for nep. She has been on a power trip since the day she was made a mod. It's all the power she has in her miserable life

 

[Thaedolus]

How do these people make a living? We know it's not by moderating Era.

She apparently makes furry suits. Half the users on there claim to be disabled and living at home too, so that takes care of rent and gaming funds.

 

[RoadHazard]

On what basis. Did you already formerly ask to have your data removed and no one replied with in the statutorily prescribed time? Usually they have what 10 days or 2 weeks to reply IIRC.

I asked to have my account wiped after I was banned from there (this was a while ago), and they never responded, but when I later checked some of my posts they were by "Deleted user" or whatever. So I guess they did what I asked, but of course I have no way of knowing if they still have for example my email on file (and if MOBA now has it).

Try and sign up again, if they deny or ban you for having an alt account you know they still have data

Looking at the furry videos posted that is definitely her parents house. Living is cheap when you don't need to pay the bills.

 

[BigBooper]

I always thought most mods were volunteer. Not the case?

 

[Metallix87]

AceBandage just ate a thread ban on page 133 for pointing out that the mods are actively trying to combat any actual thoughts and discussion about the situation. Apparently, that's "trolling". Can someone screenshot? I'm at work.

 

[Punished Miku]

You guys remind me of the people that feel bad for the monsters when they're dying in Monster Hunter.

Heh, yeah... Do I want to voluntarily give them my data AGAIN though?

 

[Dr. Claus]

Not every person is the same fucking person you idiot. If you have proof of an era poster who came back here and bashed NeoGAF then fair enough. You are as bad as some of the folks that paint GAF with the same brush. Some people like me went to Era simply because there was more activity there and just wanted to discuss games. I migrated back here a few years ago. I was banned in both places NeoGAF as well as ResetEra from the leftie loonies.

Difference is, Era openly supported and promoted the harassment, deaths, and suicides of people. They actively engaged and pushed racist, transphobic, homophobic, bigotted statements. By openly continuing to use that site, they show that they don't care about any of that and thought it was OK to support a site that pushed it.

They deserve a second chance at redemption, maybe realize that they actively were being shitty people by using the site. However, trying to dismiss all that and act like it isn't a big deal? Blatantly being hypocritical and lying to "get in" with another community? Nah, fuck those kinds of people.

Re the GDPR stuff, isn't it where the data processing takes place that dictates what data legislation they have to adhere to? As the parent company is now registered in the EU, everyone (including non-EU/EEA citizens) should have the same protections.

 

[Rikku-X]

I still can't get over.

"Nope.

No.

No, no, no.

Oh no, you sweet-ass summer child.."

Agreed but the difference here is that I cant be bothered to check GAF user names vs ERA user names etc and read ERA post histories and stuff.

Basically the opposite of how GAFFers were treated by getting banned from ERA just for having an account on here. The fact they did that is a joke.

I 100% agree.

If the users start something against the rules here you ban it… you don’t need to care about his past in others places.

You just need to care about your own forum.

No its actually regarding the data subject (so you). It depends on where you are located.

That is why some US websites for example dont work for Europeans now because technically the European website reader is a data subject even for an American company.

But yes in practice a European company will apply the same data policies to all the data they treat. But regardless even following GDPR they have access to all the data. How its managed from this point forward will be the new question.

 

[K' Dash]

That should be too sad.
I don’t want to be believe that is really true

from time to time they shared a glimpse of their real life, after that you knew they had nothing else going on for them.

Sad, deserved or both? the jury is out.

This.

The data is sold… they have access to everything.

Now you need to trust in the data security policies that company have… that is probably not that much different from the policies for data security ERA has.

And yes they can use that data for some things… for example for Business Intelligence for example… of course it is not difference of what ERA could do with the data anyway.

The big take is that the owner of the data changed and how much you trusted Resetera over MOBA.

Or course both can sell your data to the black market lol that is why trust is a key for data security… you need to trust who is holding your data.

This makes the whole sorry affair a hell of a lot sadder. They’re so dedicated to Reee that they changed their complete personalities, and are even willing to live harmoniously alongside known sex offenders and pedophiles. It really is a sad, sorry situation, but I have no sympathy for those kind of people.

If your service (or whatever) can be used by people in the EU you have to comply with GDPR, doesn't matter where the servers are. It's about where the user is. That's why a lot of US news sites don't even bother trying, but instead completely block people in the EU from accessing them.

Edit: late

I already asked months ago, wrote 5 emails, asked again then they "banned" my ip. No response from them.

Haha, yeah, just the fact that you IP is banned means they're in breach of GDPR, since they're not allowed to retain that data for longer than absolutely necessary for the operation of the business (and I don't think keeping you off the site would count).

 

[poppabk]

Maybe a poor choice of words but at the time I created an Era account, I don’t think GAF would even load. Maybe that was just due to the migration to the new system or something. In any case, I wasn’t in the know about all the behind the scenes happenings, I was like I guess everyone’s posting here and/or self immolating their GAF accounts with spergouts now. In retrospect I should’ve just stuck around

About a year and a half later I was like huh this new place is fucking crazier and crazier I wonder what’s up at GAF.

I was pretty much the same. I did try and stick it out but GAF was pretty much dead for a long while there. Some of the most recent posts in the top threads would have the last post date as several days earlier. There was one other off-shoot forum created that I tried but it was also super low volume.
When I returned GAF had a strong right wing vibe, but it has mellowed a lot the last year or so. I'm still sad the politics forum got nuked, even if it was for the best overall.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Wasn't your ass over there too?

Like four years ago, yes. Not four hours ago.

Welcome, new person! We forgive on this forum and welcome diversity of opinions.

We were being DDoSed continuously for about three days while Reset was launched.

 

[MayauMiao]

So resetera former mod using racial slurs ok, user mentioning being annoyed at thread derailments because of the word “dude” not ok

 

[Facism]

Hit too hard by the music confirmed

C'mon, Nepenthe, just admit it. You got sold, you got scammed. Just release your anger. You will feel better! And it might earn you some actual respect for once.

Probably going to drop her flap and bash her arse out with the biggest dragon dildo she has, named after her uncle

GAF was receiving too much requests from outside to the point to the server get busy (not responding anymore).

I wonder if that attack and the Resetera launch have anything in common? Coincidence? Part of the plan?

 

[KrakenIPA]

Before I got permabanned for having an opinion during the Nepenthe - Morrigan trans scuffle that happened over discord about 6 months ago I was guzzling the koolaid. After lurking GAF-then-ERA for years and finally getting the chance to post, I made some great threads and funny observations over there, but getting permad was like getting kicked in the dick. Being welcomed back to GAF was definetly a win, this place is great, and I hope we get some good people that need that same win that I needed back then.

Dumpster fires don't usually burn all weekend. Glad I got something to do to kill the downtime at work.

If any mods need to take a piss break from lopping off heads of any little shits that would try to bring their brand of bullshit over here, I'd gladly don the cowl with a smile.

She named this one Isamu Fukui

Its okay. I was a Ree member when that site just launched. GAF was on lockdown anyway. I however didn't account suicide like lots of other fools would do, since you never how Ree was going to pan out.

Ree started off... okay ish. All the good OT creators, insiders etc... they all migrated. They had the leaks, informative OT's etc, it was like it used to be here. But I was never as active on Ree as I was on here. It diminished after some weeks, perhaps months. Because I slowly started to notice that every thread would be hijacked, while I was there just to discuss games. That site started to piss me off more and more. I saw the dog piling and parotting and then it hit me; this is old GAF. They were the ones ruining the site, and not EviLore per say (perhaps for not silencing those, and for keeping some corrupted mods around). But at the same time, they do seem to be the ones with inside information and all. Its a sad state of affairs that so it seems lots of insiders, devs, writers etc are SJW cucks.

Should I've stuck around? I dunno. GAF wasn't all that hot when it imploded. But I should've known Ree would end up being what it is. Its those same prominent members running the show.

You big balled mofo. That furry got burned like Vader on Mustafar. I'd give you an "Animal Control" tag.

So it looks like IP is kept, but email address no? Or Transistor is full of shit?

 

[blacktout]

You guys remind me of the people that feel bad for the monsters when they're dying in Monster Hunter.

This is honestly why I've never had much interest in Monster Hunter. I'm more a monster capture and exploitation guy than a monster murder guy.

That said, I have absolutely no empathy for Era mods.

I feel bad for every cow and chicken that died for me so i always eat everything and hope the bones, skin, fur and feathers are used and not wasted. Monster Hunter is my name and hunting furries is my game.

Let’s not be using that word, eh? I know the ‘slap a wig on and call me a woman’ trans loonies at Era deserve to be dragged as hard as possible, but that term is pretty offensive to decent, non-crazy, actual transgender folk.

It was around that time that I became active on GAF. Near enough all the twats seemed to migrate to Era and you were free here to have an opinion. For me GAF improved overnight. Maybe there wasn't as much insider info and there wasn't as much activity but at least you could say what you wanted without being heckled for not echoing.
