Nep is a much bigger deal than me :P
I didn't even know this was actually happening until I saw you posted it there.
Yeah I don't understand this lock either. This thread is moving too fast and isn't the place for this discussion.
Imagine being so technical you forget to see no one else sees as you do and a lot saw resetera as a community run (and in their minds owned).
Does code CAG16 get you 16% off pre-owned video game forums? Asking for a Swedish friend of mine.
Yeah, that's a very unfortunate lock. The "don't discuss how the forums are run" rule has always been a disastrous idea that should've been left back at GAF, but this discussion goes to the very heart of the forum and should be seen by as many users as possible.
Want to know what's interesting to me here? Your defense of your argument isn't "I remember Cerium making a statement saying he would pass on ownership" or "Here's admins and mods saying the ownership would pass on to them". Those would be actual proofs supporting the idea that Resetera was promised to be the inheritance of the community.
To this, I don't really know how to respond except to say objective reality exists outside the minds of people, even a group of people.
Why is it that the "different opinions" that will get people banned are always in topics centering on race, bigotry, equality, and sexual representation?
There is.
Meh. It was going to split discussion from here. I think a thread about the owners should probably be discussed in the announcement about the new owners.
People have got to stop making everything so cynical and nefarious. Admins have poured their hearts out in here and we still have people thinking they're shady as shit or something.
Crazy how nature do that.
When the only way of knowing about this is some small banner at the top of the page about an "update on ownership" that actually leads to an 88 page thread that can't be found anywhere else? Yeah forgive me for thinking Cerium and others just wanted to sneak this announcement through.
Yeah we're gonna sneak through a 4.5 million dollar acquisition.
Not as yet. It'll be nice to have more resources for stuff we want to try, though.
Considering that the thread has 88 pages of discussion, I'd say that we've done a godawful job of it, then.
Yes…because of the thread that was posted, and then almost immediately locked, in off topic
What harm does it possibly do to have this discussion be more visible?
what is more visible than at the top of every page
Okay, but I emphasize again, you're not telling me Cerium or admins said this, you're just telling me 'a lot of people' said they expected it. Even if that's true and you could bring back those discord rooms to prove it, a bunch of people assuming something isn't substantial evidence that's how that thing is or that it was even presented as that thing. It can just mean that they were making a bad assumption (not just bad as in it turns out to be untrue, but bad as in they had no cause for believing it in the first place)
Don't take people for fools, come on.
We need more people on board is what he's saying. Having, say, a bigger tech crew will take a load off of us in many ways.
So you just closed the banner message about the change of ownership, and now you're complaining about it?
