Peanuts in 2021 money for a site with that much traffic, literally CJAYC got nearly that much for selling gamefaqs over a decade ago

I dunno. Are resetera anything but forums? Speaking for GameFAQs, there's actually quite the treasure trove of info here.

Or maybe this is just me thinking my own contributions mean something.

I didn't click on the link to find out who the new owner is, but I wonder if they will clean house of the mods and admins on that site so they stop insta-banning people for not being extremist left wingers. I can't imagine that site gains that much traffic considering.

Your contributions were used in the negotiations to lower the acquisition price.

But to elaborate on the point I was making earlier, we've got info here about TONS of old games, way back from the current stuff that I've been writing for. Rare stuff, too.

I'd be interested to know how much that was worth.

NeoGAF was the cool place to go if you wanted to visit a gaming forum where they ban you for wrongthink. Then the owners got caught grooming children for cyber sex and it got shut down. All the people who visited NeoGAF and thought "too many people were allowed to have thoughts" got together and created ResetERA, where you can literally get banned for saying "i disagree". Now it's the laughing stock of every other forum because of how draconian and authoritarian the moderation staff is.

I wouldn't be surprised if Red Ventures execs don't even know Gamefaqs exists, and probably think it's just a part of Gamespot's site.

ResetEra isn't going to be merged in with NeoGAF or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site.

The C-suite? Probably not much, but there are some managerrs who got involved with things like making sure bounties got paid out. Then that all fell apart. >_>

ResetERA is done. Lot of drama behind the scenes. Mods banning sales and nintendoERA were the last straws. People are leaving because, the mod staff is just incompetent. They're draconian and ban at a whim. Most the people on ERA stay in the various community discords. I betcha the site becomes a racist alt-right circle jerk like Gaf.

Neogaf is full of geniune alt-right racists. Reseteras crime is being run by idiot mods. But, this is gamefaqs where anyone who isn't alt-right is a dirty SJW. This is the same board that has people posting racial slurs and being racist.

I mean literally you people go out of your way to cry about SJWs. So fuck off.

4.5 million seems pretty good for an overall niche message board that's only 4 years old. There's only 54k members and only 7.9k people are online on it right now.

You obviously don't spend much time on the internet because you have no idea what you are talking about. ResetERA is known as being far left not far right. This has been known for years.

And if you think the majority of GameFAQs is alt-right then you are an extremist beyond belief. CE has far more left wing people then right wing.

He's talking about the skeleton of NeoGAF that was taken over by alt-right vultures after the exodus

or at the very least, the least circle jerky

Neogaf not Era. read my post again or gtfo. Oh, and Gamefaqs is absolutely infested with alt-right loons. Step out of your bubble and go check the gaming boards. Top threads are screaming about SJWs.
