So sad reading the MC thread and that last mod post Yikes.

Anyway, posting for discord too.

I live to make you all weep

of laughter

of joy

of fear,
recognition,
realization that you too are the fabric of the abyss

of shitposts long past and yet to be

of the gift and curse of trust in others

of every dark cloud's silver lining and ceaseless storm

here we weave and toil
to crest direct and trough reset
reassured and ravaged in moments repeated
as surely as the pattern of the seasons
…whenever it is that the seasons are

the smell of fresh dill on the breeze
carries us forward, though our field burns
as we ask one another how much smoke
could constitute a fire

here in the end we have found each other
cheering cruise in mirth while battered by the waves
chins dribbled with the fruits of our sacrifices
as we ask one another whether or not
those fruits belong on pizza

when there is no way forward
there is one way forward
subsurface and sublime
an abyss all our own
Get this delightful person a motherf*cking threadmark!

What happened? I see people saying some community is destroyed and asking for Discord?

*Edit* Ok. Just read the post above mine.
Resetera being dogshit is nothing new, so I don't know why people are surprised.

Everybody (loosely speaking) is moving to discord until we've decided if we are want to make the move permanent.

Read the last 5 pages of the MC thread. It's fucking garbage and imo warrants a mass exodus.
Aww, thanks, Skittzo. :') Im going to miss every regular's posts here, if things do change! I always loved reading the discussions and random shit y'all were posting, haha

Check out what b3llydrum said a few pages back. Something big is going on in the Media Create thread that has mods going on a rampage and banning people like crazy. (Correct me if I got any details wrong, though! The scenario is just as foreign to me.)

Ok i will do. And i might follow you to discord in the meantime. It's sad because i like the community here :(

I hope Fire Emblem and Xenoblade show up. I expect at least one of the two.

Then I can also see something Kirby, DK related to show :)

Another lurker posting for the discord. Might be on there already but it never hurts to double check. Really sucks to see yet another community being driven off the forum.

Given the last post on the MC thread, it seems the opposite is happening
Same. I like the forum format and it'd be a shame to lose it, but I don't know if I want to stay because of the way the mods have handled this, and I think losing the community here would stink.
So this might be a stupid question, but who "owns" Era (technically or otherwise)? Now that I think about I actually have no clue. It's not Nepenthe, is it?

If not, can this be escalated further up the ladder somehow? Surely they can see how insane this is???

I can't speak for everyone, but I personally do not feel you have any responsibility here Quinton. I've always liked you and thought you did a very good job moderating. I hope you can understand why we find the apparently official staff stance on the MC stuff unacceptable, though.
fuck, I uh posted this before I saw that the drama had gotten even more dramatic, I guess the timing was more relevant than intended

uhhhhhh maybe, if you're all leaving

I really appreciate forum format because it's more forgiving with the speed my brain works at

and I kind of hate discord

but if everyone's leaving I guess I should give it a shot
Please join! I don't love Discord either but at the very least we can do this temporarily while we find a better solution

Posting for the discord link as well. It's unlikely I'll return to the MC threads even if they continue to exist given that last post (and a multitude of other reasons) but I really love the community and discussing numbers with everyone when I have the time.

This is art. And I don't even mean that in a shitpost-y way.

I'll never forget the time you made me die of laughter in the break room over one of your sleep-deprived, delirious attempts at a two-line joke. :')

I'll probably lurk in the discord, but hopefully enough people remain here for it to still be relatively active

I have zero complaints about you, and I think you've been great!

<3 To be completely honest, I spend less time modding than most on staff. I wish I could do more to help but as soon as my writing career took off... it's just not been easy to set aside time. So I kind of vanish from the discourse simply by virtue of not being especially active.

I appreciate the kind words, though! I'm catching up on everything that's gone on, and I won't say anything on the matter here except this -- and I really hope that's fairly understood! -- wow, what a mess.

I am on the discord as a last resort, but good grief I hope it doesn't come to that. I f*cking hate discord it's tailor made to give me anxiety. Not to mention previous times I've popped my head in I've seen people who were banned from here for very good reason so yeah wasn't really a place I wanted to frequent.

Let's all agree that we stay, for the time being. Seeing how this ultimately turns out.

We all now have the Discord link as a backup if things turning out worse.

And with that, I'll take my leave for today.
Good night. ^^

Here I thought today we'd coast on the Direct announcement, sink into despair for a moment, make a few cracks about Subway, then the day would be done. Didn't think there'd be a mass exodus because of stuff going on around the board.

I'd like the link for the Discord as well. If this place goes down I have to have somewhere to go for pre-direct hype. Thanks.

Honestly no idea if the Discord would fit it into my life the way forum-posting/trawling does, but it's really disheartening to see how things are going here.

This place is worthless without the community, and the community's brought a lot to me and really helped me engage with my hobby in a much more fun and meaningful way. I'll be deeply sorry to lose that part of my day to day life.

I'm in the same boat. Just not willing to adjust to a format that is imo not conductive to the kind of mix of discussion and shitposting I love about this place. Plus, I'm pretty sure I was banned from the Discord for posting a screenshot on Era which I didn't know was against the rules but I never checked if it was temporary or permanent lmao

I hope we can all at least enjoy another Direct together tomorrow! Whether or not it's the last the community celebrates on Era, I'm selfishly demanding this because I didn't get into Nintendo fare in a big way until three years ago so I'm still playing catch-up relative to how many Directs y'all have seen together.

Then again... I'll probably be on standby for article-writing during the whole thing... so how much will I even get to post here, anyway? Well, hmph, I'll try!

I think people are just assuming that right after the MC thread, the most likely target would be this community so might as well keep the option open or jump ship in advance.

I trust that you can write your article with one hand and shitpost in these threads with the other!
