I'm surprised that place even exists still. It's an absolute hellhole nightmare. Every single day it's just one struggle session after another. From what I've observed, if you so much as say the wrong word and someone is in the wrong mood your ass is banned.
That community is by far a thousand times more toxic and disgusting than any of the hate-fantasies of "dUh gAmEr GaTes!" that they believe in their broken brains.
Sure, people may get into small arguments and disagreements here and there, but at least they get over it like adults and move on. They don't act like they're the victims of an actual hate-crime.
Can you imagine legitimately feeling hurt by mean words on the internet? I mean for real. How little of an actual life would you have to have in order to let words on the internet literally hurt you in real life? It's one thing to get a bit pissed at someone being a retard; it's something else entirely to feel emotionally impacted and say it triggered PTSD or some weird nonsensical crap like that. Yet, those people exist in droves in that place.
I've seen entire conversations where they spend entire paragraphs justifying a one sentence opinion and how they're not trying to hurt anyone's feelings. I can't even imagine the type of narcissistic nutcases that exist that people would feel compelled to preemptively placate them in such a way. It's all so vain, fake, and plastic. It's done more out of paranoia and fear of being ostracized — basically making sure to conform to the usual dogma — than it is actually caring about others; it's as disingenuous as it gets.
To get $4.5 million? No wonder the owner sold that shit. The person buying that shithole is buying a literal dumpster fire that's been on the brink of a complete collapse for a few years now. Their far-left Marxist inspired system has made the jannies and mods synonymous with the typical "elites" in those times of systems. It shows how quickly any community set up with such vacuous guiding principles like the ones they put in place immediately devolves into an authoritarian hellhole of censorship and corruption by those in charge.
I remember that Japanese Sales drama crap that just happened recently elucidating just a small portion of the corruption behind the scenes that's concomitant to that community — and from what I've heard, that's not even a fraction of it overall. There's been much more over the years.
From what I know of Resetera, the owner created it but otherwise took a step back from active participation in his own community. He knew it was a cesspool. But there's money to be made, damn it. He made out like a bandit.
Because there's always an incoming stream of elitist pricks who think their farts smell better than anyone else's and know how to run the gaming industry better than anyone actually in it.
I don't know about that. I think they require you to dox yourself by using something like a work email to sign up. Mainly so they cancel you if you cross them, but it also has the effect of making ban evasion difficult.

Yup. We all know damn well anyone screaming about toxicity is the toxic one themselves and they'll poison any community they're allowed to participate in. I've found that the louder SJW's scream about a community being toxic the more chill it is. Like you said we're all adults here and don't need some loser posting from his mother's basement playing kindergarten teacher because some soy sucker's fee fees got hurt. We also tend not to attract these toxic cry bully types since they can't bait someone into getting banned for responding to their shitty behavior.
Didn't they ban like half their users not to long ago
ResetEra's home page tells you how many members they have and also the latest member, who has a number associated with their account starting with 1 from the first account.
They claim 54,581 members, while the latest member is #104124. This means that 49,543 or 47.5% (!) of accounts have been banned or deleted.
It's almost certainly an underestimate. If an account is gone that's a permanent ban, and they issue temp bans all the time for all kinds of retarded reasons. There was even a thread calling for even longer bans for "bigots". The proportion of users who have been been subject to some kind of ban at some point is probably north of 90%. I'd be curious to know how many just don't come back after being subject to a temp ban imposed for bullshit reasons.
If you count temp bans it's probably over 90%. I'd be curious to know the percentage of people who just never return after getting temp banned for an utterly retarded reason.
Think it is just leftists helping each other or do they think it is good for business somehow. There can't have been that much traffic as to justify 4.5milion.
I would absolutely buy such a place just to troll them incessantly and drive it into the ground. Or even better, fix it and become a positive part of the culture again. Money well spent.
ResetERA is worth less than FurAffinity in my opinion as ResetERA's brand is significantly more damaged than FurAffinity due to it being a known terrorist forum, and it has a lot less users.

How do they have any members left at all?
Because there's always an incoming stream of elitist pricks who think their farts smell better than anyone else's and know how to run the gaming industry better than anyone actually in it.
Alt accounts from people that were banned.
I don't know about that. I think they require you to dox yourself by using something like a work email to sign up. Mainly so they cancel you if you cross them, but it also has the effect of making ban evasion difficult.

"World's largest gaming forum"? Didn't they ban like half their users not to long ago plus tons of people everyday for dumb shit
ResetEra's home page tells you how many members they have and also the latest member, who has a number associated with their account starting with 1 from the first account.

So yes, about half is no exaggeration.
It's almost certainly an underestimate. If an account is gone that's a permanent ban, and they issue temp bans all the time for all kinds of retarded reasons.

They all go to back to Neogaf after being banned from Resetera, having learned nothing from their experience being banned for some arbitrary reason.
That is an obvious lie. The largest gaming forum is r/gaming on Reddit.
If you count temp bans it's probably over 90%. I'd be curious to know the percentage of people who just never return after getting temp banned for an utterly retarded reason.
Why would anyone buy that dumpster fire?
Makes sense once you realize where M.O.B.A. Network is from: Sweden.
Think it is just leftists helping each other or do they think it is good for business somehow. There can't have been that much traffic as to justify 4.5milion.
Wow they got more than tumblr…
I have enough to buy it…oh the trolling that could be done.

I think I'd advertise admin and Trust & Safety jobs on /pol/ and then sit back and watch the hilarity ensue.
It will probably stay the cesspool it always has been. This could still provide some giggles, we will see.
Never heard of it.
TIL RetardEra still exists for some reason.
TIL you can sell retardation for millions
Retardera and Faggit. Two peas in a pod.
Who the fuck would buy reee era? it should be worth negative equity, lmfao....
did they buy it to get the email list or something? no fucking way is that trash site worth 4 and a half million dollars, even with inflation.
And not one of those jannies will look in the mirror and realise they've been conned into years of unpaid labour so that someone else could get rich.
I think to remember that the founder was outed as an active Chinese spy?
