We've been pretty blessed with Quinton and Redcrayon being the two mods I remember (in)frequently interacting with this community and always in a helpful and understanding way.

Sadist when you get a chance it might be a good idea to threadmark one of the decent summaries on the current situation so people can feel a little more in the loop.
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.
Not sure if you're asking for the link or just posting to see it, but for you (and any others) I will do my best over the next little while to regularly post the link.

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!

Out of respect for you, Redcrayon and all the other good people left on this thread, I will still post here and be there for the direct. Last party for Nintendo Era? We'll see.

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.
oooof

that sounds like a bit of a nightmare endurance scenario

I'll make an account and follow the link just in case but hopefully we don't lose the whole thread

not that it isn't super understandable and a huge mess

but yeah

I thought it was because of the direct, but it's something far more sinister.

I knew something was up when I couldn't find the new Media Create thread...

I'll reiterate this. Tomorrow should be a good day for us and it should be what brings us together, to celebrate, shitpost, despair, and bring the cycle about all over again.

I'd never ask you to stay if the way the site is run makes you uncomfortable, but I'll stick around at least for a few days while we see what happens.

I do want to keep up with the chaos of both here and Discord for the Direct, so I'll probably be reading and participating in both like

Redcrayon has personally reassured me everything is OK on a couple of occasions where I unwittingly upset people. Very compassionate moderator.

Lurker for years here, just want to say thanks to the people that have engaged in healthy discussions and shared their insight. I've mostly used Era to keep in touch with the hobby, never really used discord more than to speak with my friends and am sad because I do like the forum layout, but will give it a try. Thanks for sharing

I understand the MC community leaving but I don't see why we'd leave this thread, discord is not a good substitute. I'm staying for sure 😭

The biggest lesson for those of you in the Nintendo OTs is to just fucking report the trolls and give DETAILS so that patterns are easy to establish/provide context for mods, because they don't lurk in here. Many of us do little to nothing, expecting others to do the legwork which leads to festering users.

This place is generally fairly positive but cliquey. If youre new and planning to be sarcastic, add some /s until you actually have a history and don't let it be all you post in here. I don't want this place to disappear into a chat room

I for one hope there can still be a community here, I much appreciate the back and forth talking about Nintendo on this specific subforum on Era. And I hope that can continue going forward.

It's a big part of my every day life - fits my job perfectly nice to.

Maybe we could do a private subreddit? To be honest that sounds worse. I just want a non-toxic place to shit post with my friends 😫

I am not really much of a modern Nintendo fan but I love to follow the general discussions. I especially loved reading posts from the likes of Neiteio. Posting in here now to join just in case many more posters choose to leave.

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

I once balanced reporting on serious industry allegations in one tab and ghostwriting some silly "Top DS RPGs" thing for a content mill site in another. You might actually be on to something.

Echoing similar sentiments Quinton, I can understand that moderation is a thankless job, and the ones who've lurked this side of Nintendo have been good for the most part, it's just tough having to see such strife across the board.

Yeah, it is. ;_; I hope things work out optimally for everybody here, no matter what that looks like. Obviously, I'd love if that means folks stick around. But whatever's best.

Out of respect for you, Redcrayon and all the other good people left on this thread, I will still post here and be there for the direct. Last party for Nintendo Era? We'll see.

Yay!

I'll reiterate this. Tomorrow should be a good day for us and it should be what brings us together, to celebrate, shitpost, despair, and bring the cycle about all over again.

We must reset the clock at least one more time!

I have created threads parallel to writing newspaper stories that won a state award for investigating and ousting five-sixths of a corrupt board of trustees.

Multi-tasking feels good man.

did the last sixth of the corrupt board of trustees escape on a helicopter, laughing as they hanged onto the helicopter ladder?

OK I guess at this point i'll be the one to ask: what the fuck was the last post in Media Crate all about?
Another discord screenshot showed another mod belittling tbe community and calling them slurs and "manbabiee." That mod engaged people in the thread about it, quit being a mod, and then the other mods are trippling down on ripping the community apart with their final message before the lock.
