By W Go To PostNever could stand Shinobi. NIbel always seemed cool though, kind of no idea who Zhuge is?I like Shinobi, but as someone who never bothers to write down a whole lot of criticism and doesn't surround himself with negativity, I doubt he's gonna be a good choice for that role.
Nibel is a nice guy and a good choice. ZhugeEX is kinda like Nirolak, also works in the field and is mostly occupied with sales and stuff like that.
Bioware post-Baldur's Gate (some credit to KOTOR) is the hottest of dumpster fires. If you want to complain about "ethics in game journalism" start with Jade Empire receiving a better score than every classic PC CRPG (and 9.9 just isn't high enough). Just another reason GG was immediately obvious trash.
But I really don't have a problem with Shinobi.

By Grimsat Go To PostHmm, wasn’t Zhuge banned from gaf?
He was. I think for being an unreliable news source. He's a legit financial analyst now on the mobile games market in Asia, but that only happened after he got banned.
Well sounds like sales stuff will have a home soon. Gonna have to go there just for that I guess. Would have been nice to have it here. Oh well.
By reilo Go To PostSorry friend. I get it via Typekit, which is included in any Adobe Subscription iirc, although Inpay $40/mo just to use it on here.You're turning Slaent into a place of haves and have fonts

Hello gaf..fers and everyone else! Been following this thread all day. Was there a thread about ots?

By Francis Go To PostGaming-Age put out a "statement" before EviLore.I like this as a starting point. It would be nice to see GA re-launch the forum and do it right. NeoGAF had deep issues, but to walk away from them is cowardly. A fresh start, tied once more to the GA origin, could do a lot of good.
By Megatherium Go To PostIf someone ascribes to a belief system and you judge them on those beliefs, that’s not stereotyping.
We aren't talking the KKK or Nazi's here who have an active platform of racial hatred. Stop trying to claim that part of their base is the platform. It's not. There is no denying that their affiliation attracts those people but nothing being part of that group does not automatically make you a part of that subgroup just like practicing Islam does not automatically make you a member of ISIS.

Greetings friends! So…wild night? A lot things are happening behind the scenes right now. Just wanted to share that myself, @nibel and @ZhugeEX will hold administrative roles in ResetEra if all goes well. I agreed to play a part in all of this because while things were a little shaky in the past, this can be a fresh start for everyone and we can shape the community, positively, going forward. Stay tuned! heart
insider Nibel at it again
By Ignatz Mouse Go To PostIn all my years on GAF going back to Gaming-Age, I never caught a ban– except for that time somebody hack a mod account and banned everybody who liked Sony.Grubdog. Good times. That was a crazy day watching people and posts disappear in real-time.

Go look up “Souther Strategy” and then come back and tell us that racism isn’t a core part of their platform. Hell, look at Trump’s announcement to run for President and how he disparaged Mexicans, and tell me how racism isn’t a part of the platform.
If you think racism isn’t a core part of the Republican platform, you haven’t been paying attention.

Racism very much is a core part of the conservative platform.

Hi friends, for full transparency we are looking to hopefully see this thread die down by the end of the week.
Why? Well, that has been our stance with regards to these kind of threads since founded this site.
While this has been by far the largest and most welcomed transition to this site from GAF, it is indeed not the first. We have experienced this a few times before and each and every time we have welcomed whoever wants to come and go as they please. That still holds true to this day.
However, after a while we’d like to see this megathread discussion about what happened when where and how die down. There’s a lot of things for people to get off their chest, especially under these circumstances. We’ve always given people the space to air it out and let opinions fly. Sometimes people overstep a line and we have to remind them to chill a bit. That has happened here and that’s okay. We dealt with it and we’ll deal with if it happens again.
With that being said, you’re free to keep the discussion going but by the end of the week we will probably let this thread go, and if you’ll have us as your new home after that we will be more than honored.
Carry on but with respect to each other.

By Script Kiddies LLC Go To PostI wouldn’t say they are all evil racists, but I will say that labeling yourself with the moniker of a group of racists is suspect, and remaining a Republican with Trump as your leader of the party definitely speaks volumes on where they stand wrt my humanity.
While I don’t think they should be wiped out with a hurricane, I do think that if they voted Republican during the election they should be banned from receiving FEMA money, since you know “small government and bootstraps”.
Here comes the "I'm black therefore it doesn't apply to me..." mental gymnastics.
So... Waypoint, Sl&ent, and ResetEra... man, what a mess. Appreciate forums for putting up with us, though.
Well, what's done is done. Unfortunately one man's disgusting behavior and selfishness destroyed an entire community.
By Script Kiddies LLC Go To PostAs a black person I feel totally fine in stereotyping people who choose to group themselves in with racists.I dont ever think this is fine. Also it would be great if you'd stop using your race as a stopgap to allow you to stereotype.
Also let's keep this argument as simple as possible and dont make it like I don't know how bad the republican party is at the moment.
Stereotyping is one of the biggest thing that lead people to become racist cunts. It would be wise if we dont repeat their mistakes.
I think some people just want to argue on this thread. GAF down for the weekend has got them in withdrawal.
Start a thread for PDP or whether or not to sterotype republicans, maybe? Not really about GAF at this point.

I’ll probably commute to ResetEra for sales discussion since that feels like the place the best discussion will land at. Will stay here for the discussion though shits chill.
Oh an addendum to the above: one thing we do not want to see (especially in this thread) is bringing by old beefs and retreading on arguments that originated somewhere else.

You're not telling me anything new. Racism HAS been an official part of the platform at one point just like it was for the democratic party. It is not an official part of the platform NOW. That does not mean there are not still racists and people who believe in segregationist ideals. But it is not a party platform. It is not. If you can find it in any of the official GOP information please send it to me.

By NaughtyRskl Go To PostHere comes the "I'm black therefore it doesn't apply to me…" mental gymnastics.And here you go...yes, let the hate flow through you.
Because you just equated being black, something I didn’t choose, to a political ideology that is chosen.
So yeah, you won’t be here long. Enjoy it while you can.
By NaughtyRskl Go To PostHere comes the "I'm black therefore it doesn't apply to me…" mental gymnastics.Certainly with the origins and dynamics of racism in the United States, it certainly is hard for a PoC to be racist. Sure they can be bigoted or stereotype, but there is only one main group that can actually display power via racism in the US through it's institutions. And it's not black people on a scale that really registers.
By John Rabbit Go To PostShinobi602 just posted in the discord that he, ZhugeEX and NIbel are all going to be admins at ResetEra.
Not bad, tbh
By Mammoth Jones Go To PostWell, what's done is done. Unfortunately one man's disgusting behavior and selfishness destroyed an entire community.What's good, homie? Good to see ya..
By TheMikado Go To PostWhat do you mean "unless" hate speech is hate speech no matter how you want to justify it. Don't you see that's the problem??Without specific posts I don't know what you're referring to, but if a poster posts some eye-for-an-eye stuff about politicians ought to suffer through a hurricane, in response to politicians lack of empathy for hurricane victims, that doesn't come across as "hate speech" to me, it sounds like frustration over a lack of humanity and the idea that these out-of-touch officials might need to experience hardship to understand hardship (or develop a conscience).
Once Resetera launches this will probably slow down.
Also I heard Bish is coming but only as a member, not a mod.

By NaughtyRskl Go To PostHere comes the "I'm black therefore it doesn't apply to me…" mental gymnastics.You're not helping at all.
Anyway I do think we can take the conversation elsewhere. I apologize but I feel very passionately about this topic.
I wonder if anyone can top one of my bans from NeoGAF in terms of ridiculousness. The mod thought I "simply needed a break". Yes, that was the given reason. No actual instance of violating ToS, they just didn't like that I occasionally held dissenting opinions, especially in poligaf. That's when I knew the moderation was full of shit. If there is going to be an actual replacement, they need to have as much transparency and accountability as the mods here on slaent.
Also, every forum should have a venting thread, where frustration can be released in its rawest forms. A bit like the wild west (even insults are allowed within reason). I saw something like that at another forum I used to go to and it was a brilliant tactic for ultimately keeping people in line. Don't like the mods? Go to the venting thread and possibly have a conversation with them. Got beef with another member? Go to the venting thread and hash it out. Since there was an outlet to release these raw emotions, it was contained within that thread, and outside of that thread, the atmosphere was super tame and mature. Hopefully we can get something like that here in the future.

The real problem "conservatives" have trying to discuss things online, especially somewhere like GAF, is that reality has a liberal bias. There are no receipts for virtually any part of the Republican platform. It's all demonstrably garbage. And that platform is becoming less subtle by the day.
From Reagan onwards it's nothing but trash.

So implementation of of policies be damned, if they didn’t explicitly write out “fuck black people” on their party website, then racism isn’t a core part of their platform?
Yeah, we’re done here.
Yo can we chill on the politics and racism 101 in here? I’m trying to catch up on the last 20 pages or so and this last page is... how? How’d you get here?
By bobbychalkers Go To PostI'm liking what I've seen at Waypoint so far. One thing that I hated about Gaf's gaming discussion was that a lot of threads just turned into lists after a while. Over there, they seem like they are trying to promote actual discussion. Their mods were super clear about not the influx of new users turning it into Gaf though. The sales thread and SMT5 announcement thread didn't stay up too long.The philosophy behind not going into sales data and Metacritic scores seems interesting, and I'm glad it has a place to be honest. Like personally I'm way more interested in the artistic ideas/societal discourse around games, and while you would get good discussions about these aspects, people on gaf put so much stalk into how games preformed in reviews/on the charts, complained about cost:playtime ratios, ect. that it would color their opinions of the games themselves. Consumor advocacy is fine and all but at times it felt like a bunch of old men who didn't make the time to play many games anymore but still followed the industry just to get worked up haha. Which is cool! The more perspectives the better.

By ned_ballad Go To PostIn my 6 years on the site, I was never banned.
You just get a feel of what threads to avoid and you can usually manage okay.
Truth right here. If a thread ever got heated, I just observed as opposed to participating. Was never banned once.
(Not that I'd like to brag about that: while I posted a lot, I was really shy about making threads and wish I had a little more courage with that. Maybe with ResetEra things will be different?)
