F.A.Q.
Why does this board exist?
/gamergatehq/ is the main public hub for #GamerGate on 8chan, replacing the destroyed /gamergate/ board. Established by #GG veterans exiled from 4chan in September of 2014, it exists alongside our other sites to serve as a primary discussion, planning, and coordination hub for #GamerGate and #NotYourShield and related activities.
Who runs this place?
I'm a namefag from /v/, and the person responsible for updating the advertiser lists used for Operation Disrespectful Nod I also wrote the Archive Downloader script used by /v/'s archivefags. I've been with #GG since August 30th of last year.
Why should we trust you, you fucking faggot?
Because I don't have an ego. I'm just a faggot on an imageboard. I don't Skype, I don't IRC, I don't own a website, I don't get in shitflinging matches, and I don't get butthurt over dumb shit. I don't want to be a leader and I don't want to be sucked up to. I'm a moralefag and a Cleric who tries to make himself useful. #GG collectively is what I care about. I'm a fucking twig, same as the rest of you. Only together do we form a mighty faggot. I also lurk obsessively and post daily, so I can always be reached through 8chan itself. No "IRC cabals" or secret meetings. I also keep board and staff decisions public, and not locked behind closed doors like most boards.
Who are the mods?
Oldfag /v/eterans here from the beginning, and explicitly unrelated to any e-celebs or current board staff anywhere else. Its a clean slate, where the only loyalty is to #GG and the board's users.
What are the rules?
Check'em. https://8ch.net/gamergatehq/rules.html
All reasonable requests for rule changes will be listened to and considered, though not always implemented.
Will you go full retard and screw us over like the last board owner did?
Absolutely not. And just in case, there is a contingency plan where the 8chan site administrator has my permission to seize the board and take care of it in my stead if I am somehow driven off the deep end.
Why come here over the other boards?
GGHQ is designed to have tighter moderation than the competitor boards. Fun is very much still allowed, but the staff are committed to keeping the place reasonably clean and tidy so #GG activities don't get flooded out by shills, trolls, e-celeb gossip and shitposting. Bans are given as warnings more than to kick any poster off the board, and users generally get the benefit of the doubt when situations are borderline against the rules. We try to keep it organized without being hardasses, so everyone can enjoy themselves and still work on #GamerGate.
If the community ever goes somewhere else, will you fight for part of the community and split us?
Nope. #GG lives or dies together. If the majority tells me to fuck off and goes to a different board, I'll lock this place in case of need or convert it to an archive and go post in the new hub right beside you. #GG first. All other bullshit a distant second.
I have a question, suggestion or a complaint, or I want to contest a mod decision.
Make your case right here in this thread. I check it several times a day, and any well-reasoned request will be listened to and considered. The staff knows we aren't perfect, and decisions are reversed or clarified fairly frequently.

Minutes will be released to the board, but later on. As far as what we've sorted out?
Oh, yes. The times are a changin;. :3
Leader 05/30/15 (Sat) 22:08:54 0c3fb4 No. 179762
>>179701
Is there any chance that the full logs from the roundtable will be released? Such a gesture of transparency would do a lot to hinder future division shilling.

Releasing the entire DM logs would be interesting… Won't happen though.
It's like I always say:
Never say in a DM what you wouldn't say in public.
Leader 05/30/15 (Sat) 22:50:22 b094ce No. 179806
>>179799
You wouldn't have any guarantees that they aren't doctored though, so what's even the point.
If you want transparency make the meeting on a public IRC chatroom and only voice other mods. This way anyone interested can watch the meeting.
But that's never going to happen either.
Leader 05/30/15 (Sat) 22:59:13 0c3fb4 No. 179816
>>179806
Even so, it would be good to pour over the logs to get a better understanding of their outlooks on the board and moderation. Yes, there is always the possibility that they may be doctored, but unless they decide to fabricate the majority of the conversation and are able to do so convincingly, it should still serve as an insight as to what their perspectives are.
Leader 05/30/15 (Sat) 22:59:51 400a96 No. 179819

Leader 05/30/15 (Sat) 23:49:10 0ccbe6 No. 179901
>>179826
It's right in this thread: >>179701
Minutes basically means a log of what was proposed, discussed, and decided on during a meeting. Doesn't necessarily mean full IRC logs, though
I'm assuming Acid knew what I meant when I asked.

>Acid Man already mentioned he would release the logs

Exactly, which is why anon asked for the full logs instead, which acid at no point agreed to release.
Your previous statement is either retarded or intentionally missleading.

Yes, but not for a while until everything is blown over.
Also I was dumb and didn't realize xchat didn't have logging on by default, so the first 30 mins or so of the meeting is missing (the point I started to wonder and thought to go check it). I WILL give you guys the rest at some point though.

Almost everything was unstickied.
New board policies and sticky limits. Individual dig threads will now get temp stickies instead of trying to centralize, and major-long term #OPs will be centralized instead of being spread out.
We're cleaning up everything and cutting permanent stickies to three.

>>181486
That's a pretty naive statement… That isnt how this kind of ideology seeps into gaming and other industries. You cant just focus on the gaming related stuff, you have to push back on all fronts, otherwise you are just wasting your time. All the "happenings" in the world dont mean shit if they still maintain influence in game development and ect, and you can only prevent that by discrediting them more and more.
Leader 05/31/15 (Sun) 18:21:36 2eece3 No. 181605

That's what /pol/'s for isn't it?
Leader 05/31/15 (Sun) 18:25:06 c18600 No. 181610
>>181605
pol is many things. People who started using the hashtag from Baldwin almost immediately took to calling out SJW's as a whole. Maybe not everyone but many did. This is why people like Milo, Cathy, Sommers, and ect initially got involved, because we were talking about subject matters and people they have to deal with all the time.
If it isnt evident that the people coming after the game industry isnt just doing it too the game industry, I dont know how else to convince you. Beyond that, I dont see any point limiting gamergate boards conversation in terms of dealing with these people. Not everyone jumped in on the hashtag for the same reason, no reason to try and force your reason for being in gamergate onto others.

Leader 06/02/15 (Tue) 11:36:08 2a6acf No. 184277
I've been reading this board since the beginning, but its become apparent its fucking dead now. I don't know if it's the stupid mod politics, or the movements dying out, or something else entirely. All I know is every time I come here it's always the same boring topics with no new content. What happened?
Don't believe me? Look at the catalog. Majority of the threads are days and weeks old. Hell even the board list shows the numbers dropping.
I'll probably get called a shill and be banned for this, but whatever.

Just got rid of dramafags and idiots and regulars are enjoying the rise in post quality already, we just got rid of the cancer.
You're either free to stay and actually get gamergate done or maybe you can go to KiA and twitter, you can get your internet points there or something if you prefer others to do your work.
Leader 06/02/15 (Tue) 11:42:23 400a96 No. 184283
>>184281
i'm just saying, the reason this board seems dead is we probably have too many people content to watch from the sidelines instead of get involved
Leader 06/02/15 (Tue) 11:50:23 2a6acf No. 184289
>>184282
Like I said before, I've never been involved enough to even post, that includes KiA, twitter (I don't even have a twitter, fuck twitter), etc. I couldn't care less about stupid upvotes and e-cred.
My point is that fresh content is at an all time low, to the point where I don't even read this board much any more. I can read a few threads and come back weeks later and they're still there with little new discussion.
I should add that I avoided all the forum politics the last few weeks because I don't pretend to understand any of it, and have no idea who is right or wrong.
Leader 06/02/15 (Tue) 11:53:08 390e58 No. 184292
>>184289
That's because of the general nature of gamergates less content recently and it's places like KiA and twitter who mull around with their slackavism or their upvotes. You can either bitch about how there's no new content or you can make it yourself.
Leader 06/02/15 (Tue) 11:54:57 2a6acf No. 184294
>>184283
Fair enough, you're not exactly wrong. But like I said; if I didn't post before. it's not any easier now with a quieter community.
It's catch 22 I guess, you need content to make content…
Leader 06/02/15 (Tue) 11:57:40 390e58 No. 184296
>>184294
And I admit it's not at all. All the noise happens on the loud fronts but HQ really isn't a front so expect it to be quiet, really. This is where organization is done to actually get OC and good info to those louder fronts. /v/ usually gets to work with OC and posts them here too so there's that.

Full disclosure, I'm the OP of that thread.
I posted that to prove to my friend that if asked, GG would show an anti-harassment stance, and post piles of proof that show otherwise. I post here frequently, Acidman can confirm that with my post history.
Of course the thread getting shitposted and purged just made him more aGGro so thanks for nothing. In his words, "Yeah, so much anti-harassment evidence they can only post three pics".

There are a couple of threads that are 404'ing for me (#182969 and #182435) and I'm not seeing their removal in the mod logs. I don't think they were old enough to be knocked off the catalog (only a few days old) so I'm wondering why they just disappeared.

We don't dox or harass people who oppose us (those who do are either trolls or falseflaggers). That doesn't mean we have to fight doxing or harassment.
GG is not an anti-harassment campaign, just as it isn't a harassment campaign. It's a consumer revolt against unethical (primarily games) journalism. Whoever isn't satisfied that we're not what they want us to be can kindly fuck off.

I guess this is where I should ask:
>For those who want to go more in-depth on the political aspects of #GamerGate, go see our allies on /pol/
So we're having a little discussion on /leftypol/ about this current ordeal and this (along with a few examples of /pol/ circlejerk) came up as a proof that /gamergatehq/ "has clearly taken a political stance". Which, frankly, is a valid point I have no good answer to.
So, how do I respond to that? Or are you actually allied with /pol/ and the left-wing people should just avoid this board altogether?

Hell, as far as I can tell, most of us are anti-authoritarian lefties that prioritize freedom enough that we can work with folks we don't fully see eye-to-eye with against a common enemy.
I am under the impression that you're something of a newfag, or at least not in the know, to not be aware of GG's history with /pol/ starting on halfchan.
/pol/ was the final refuge from blanket proto-gg censorship on the old board and that relationship remains functional to date.
I hardly spend any time at all on boards that aren't /b/, /v/, and /hq/ so I don't know what /leftypol/ is about.

To clarify my (not the board's) rough political position:
Government is a necessary evil and we should strive to have as little of it as possible while still maintaining just enough of it that the common man has as strong advocate.
Big government is just as big a problem as big business and I'd rather they were at each other's throats than in bed together.
That said, the only politics I'd like to see here is a unified front against dishonest and corrupt agenda pushing within media.
At the moment, that fight puts us at odds with SJWs. This is a pity since I agree with the spirit of what they are after but NONE of their overzealous, blindly immoral actions.

Alright, thanks.
I just rarely visit here (only interesting threads that get linked on /v/, basically), so I find it hard to speak about this board in particular, and we currently have some concern trolling regarding /ggrevolt/ and GG as a whole that I wanted to counter. Needless to say, your answers should be enough.
(But let's face it, 4chan /pol/ and 8ch /pol/ are two different boards. You may complain we split off, but the fact remains and the current /pol/ has a specific ideological leaning at its core, not just by virtue of majority rule.)
(Regarding /leftypol/, we're mostly anarchists, so regardless of how you view our Leninist friends, no worries, we're not going full gulag any time soon.)

If /pol/ is feeling a little underrepresented, that shouldn't be surprising: they do not make up the majority of GG, they never have, and they never will.

Nobody at pol thinks gg represents them nor do they try. The far left is always trying to claim it is a left movement against the far left or onyl about ethics.

The old guard of game journalism needs to either radically reform or burn. The corrupt-ass indy clique needs to be dragged into the light. The SJW cancer behind both issues needs to be sent into remission.

Leader 06/11/15 (Thu) 12:29:55 69b5fb No. 197642

No. It fights for the freedom of expression and freedom of speech. Those who push for video game bans or censorship are what we're up against. Censorship is the tool of the oppressor.
This time the censorship is not pushed by the usual suspects of radical right wing religious conservatives, but radical feminists. Gamergate consists of various people coming from all over the world and different ideologies to oppose those who push for censorship in games.
Polygon can write whatever useless tripe it wants about why games to them are sexist. But framing developers for things they have not done, or getting caught with other corrupt practices in the meantime is something Gamergate does condemn them on.
Radical sex-negative feminists can keep crying in their tumblrs all they like. But the moment they push for a ban of some video-game or demand some artistic aspect in the game has to be changed, is when Gamergate confronts them. If they want games to be about perfect feministic utopia, then they're free to start developing games themselves. Its a free market and free market thrives on meritocracy.

>This time the censorship is not pushed by the usual suspects of radical right wing religious conservatives
There has never been a real push to cnesor by the religious conservative right, specially in video games. Jack Thompson was practically alone. It's almost always been a democrat in the states. You are thinking of Australia maybe for conservatives trying to force that shit. Closest thing conservatives censored, and it was self censorship, was D&D.
Blaming the right wing for something the left has consistently done, to make it seem like the left wing progressives are not so bad, is a pointless.

Granted theyre not always "right-wing", country specific-wise. For example, our Christian Democrats-party isnt exactly on the "right" side of the political spectrum if you compare it to the US one. And of course the cultural differences, in many ways even our more radical left is more right than many of the right-wing parties of the US (mandatory conscription one good example).

Auerbachs latest Twitlonger on Gamergate and journalists bitching about the fact AAA doesnt bother demonizing us:
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1smmqdt
>Which is to say, corporate corruption is *professional*. The journos and their favored devs made such easy targets for Gamergate because their corruption was absurdly inept. The AAAs and mouthpieces like IGN and GameInformer and PCGamer run a professional outfit: sure, it's all a big PR con job, but they aren't going to have journalists reviewing games by people they're publicly friends with (or if called out on it, they'll apologize, add disclosures, blah blah), and they eventually realize to cut out the Doritos nonsense, even if a bit too late. Moreover, they aren't going to be dumb enough to run a bunch of articles on the death of gamers. (That would be the "passions" trumping the "interests.") As far as incompetent corruption goes, the journos were the low-hanging fruit. Investigation into AAA corruption would take boots on the ground that Gamergate doesn't have. The journos made it easy. Indie scenes have always celebrated themselves, but they usually don't make themselves targets to quite this extent.
>So Gamergate has been pretty convenient for the AAAs. Gamergate is doing the dirty work of distracting, annoying, and quieting a chronic irritation for the AAAs, and the AAAs just have to sit back and keep quiet. This drives the journos crazy, but there's not much they can do about it, short of politely griping in articles like Nutt's (or impolitely griping on Twitter). Meanwhile, the AAAs are cutting off Kotaku and Polygon even as gamers stop paying attention to them. The journos' strategy has backfired. There must have been some collective delusion that they thought their influence could actually pull some weight with the AAAs, even with Gamergate as a potential lever. As I've said before, I don't know what they were thinking. They ragequit their audience.

Yeah. His fact checking is poor and in some of his videos he simply mocks people he doesn't agree with without offering any sort of rebuttal to their points. He antagonizes neutrals and feminarcissists who genuinely believe they're doing the right thing. I think of him as the Big Red of GG.

I find most of his videos rather well put together and cited. On the other hand, I could see you point if all you saw were videos where he points out something crazy and says "yeah, that sounds like what a Social Justice Warrior would say" or something along those lines.
He has a ton of videos where he really does provide evidence and reasoning to back-up his statements but some of the newer videos have had a bit more editorialization imo.

An unfortunate announcement Acid Man ## Board Owner 06/21/15 (Sun) 06:47:56 699ba5 No. 206882
GGHQ has retired its first moderator.
For the past few weeks one of our mods, account Mod06, has been doing a lot of heavy lifting for the board. A lot of spam deleted, a lot of well-deserving faggots banned.
But a lot of innocent users too. Ban lengths given had been, in many cases, disproportionate to the rulebreaking, and bans were given in general even for relatively innocuous posts. In the past two weeks I was presented over fifteen complaints, twelve of which I found to have merit, against Mod06's zeal. Tonight alone I've lifted two permabans given, in my opinion, unfairly. We spoke on two occasions about toning down the moderation, but it wasn't to be.
06 is no longer a mod on the board.
This doesn't change the fact that this person put in a SHITLOAD of work to make this board a better place. I'm grateful for what they've done, and the staff was lucky to have them, especially during the purge. But the purge is over. Tight moderation doesn't mean harsh moderation, and we always have to be mindful that outside of the worst cases, the board's users don't mean either this place or the #GG cause any harm even when they bend a rule or two.
Mod decisions have to reflect a certain amount of tolerance that shows respect for the userbase. With as much as the staff of a hot-button board like this sees and has to deal with, this can be an easy thing to forget. This was 06's only sin. I don't believe anything they did was malicious, and I firmly feel they had the best interests of the board at heart. But it couldn't be allowed to continue.
Thank you for all you did Mod06. I hope you'll still be here posting alongside us as anon until this war is won.

Eh, Sargon isn't obnoxious or aggressively ignorant, and will always try to be calm and polite to people. I consider myself a fan, but have to agree that whenever he stops going for the low hanging fruit his arguments leave a lot to be desired.
He also gets salty pretty easily, almost every time he debates he gets jerked around and then makes a video about how he was actually right.

Most preferable moderation would be harsh- but fair moderation. Rules should be the same for everyone. Those willing to bend the rules and say make a "boycott thread", should first ask about it on e-celeb and make their case, to show they have a good reason for it, -other than yet another attempt at stirring shit.

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask, but I had a thread approximately a couple of days ago that is strangely gone now. It was about a Toronto Star short article about 4 indie devs going to E3. Pic of Agiri in the starting post.
Only remotely controversial thing I can guess about it was one reply in the thread, that seemed to have low reading comprehension implying I somehow automatically hate -all- independent\smaller sized devs and games.
Just curious and strange to why I can't find the thread now, and even though last time of checking it only had 7 replies. It's hard for me to believe it just slid off since I see far older threads still up. Could be just a glitch or honest mistake, I'm just curious about it.

We have a spam setting enabled that will prune a thread at page 5 if it doesn't have enough replies. Keeps the board from being nuked by topic spam. It probably got eaten by that.

It sucks, but all we can really do is ban their bots and autosage the bottom of the catalog.
It started right after revolt took off and has persisted ever since. Our best guess is they do it to try and bait us into deleting the bumped threads. I banned one guy doing it near when they started and got a big wall of "FUCKYOUACIDKIKE!" spammed in response, so at least a part of it is from the usual suspects.
A time-variable automatic autosage option would be really nice, tbh. Maybe I'll ask Hotwheels about that.
Leader 06/26/15 (Fri) 04:02:32 dba77c No. 211256

Time-based autosage would be the best solution, but is there also the option to reduce the total number of threads the board can hold at once?
I know the point of this board is to be able to hold onto information long-term but frankly given the time it takes for a thread to reach the bottom of the catalog, it becomes long since outdated and there is plenty of time to archive anything relevant.
Having fewer threads total in the entire board would make sense since total board activity is on the decline (no use running from the truth), it would mean that autosaged threads would drop off the catalog more quickly. The downside is that the board is less resistant to spamming but I think it's better for the board to adapt to the current situation rather than wait for a hypothetical.
The other thing is, and I understand that this is going to be asking for a huge amount of work bordering on the impossible or unreasonable, but maybe have mods manually autosage some of the oldest threads every day? Although that's an extreme solution and probably not a good suggestion.

True to a point.
The fact that we've lost a bunch of legit users is worthy of concern though, all vitriol from the revolt minority aside. They're in double digit users now, and we're at ~560 ourselves (on a Sunday, which are always slower). So the cure wasn't utopian freedom to shitpost, which is spiffy. Now we need to figure out what is .
Summer has turned into a Stalingrad like Christmas, only this one is going to last longer.
Bring in new blood between now and September and keep operations and digging going. How do? Taking suggestions.
Ideas of my own:
>Host a #GG strategy round-table meeting in a sticky. Get faggots in and think up new #OP and dig ideas and plan out dates and order of execution.
Since we're fewer in number we'll see better effect by concentrating our autism tighter on one thing at a time.
>Run a "return to Twitter" campaign to get anons who abandoned the Twitter front (there's lots) to get back on the horse and spread the message again, so our network doesn't weaken.
A lot of anons aren't shy about deriding Twitter as cancer, which it is . But its also our media front to reach the outside world and we need it. Abandoning it only helps aGGro move easier.
>Shill the board in the hashtag and on KiA and other media platforms so people know they can come here for the good stuff?
That last one bothers me a little for some reason, but seems like it would be good for the board.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.

As long as you don't mistake rule changes as the go-to response like you did with the nuke (which, I'll be honest, seems a lot more faggoty in retrospect), I'm fine with either of the first two options. Third option I'm likewise leery about because shilling the board inevitably changes the board composition due to immigration, which can lead to possible changes in how d2d matters are conducted on the board, and those always cause drama when they happen. And nobody likes drama when it's happening to /gghq/.
However, I'd like to float the question of why it's so urgent that we raise our numbers. Most of us who are still here are GG stalwarts who aren't going to back off anytime soon, while most of the regulars have either lost interest or are taking a break (again, remember that many sites lose traffic during the summer due to people changing their schedule for stuff in meatspace), so it would seem to not be a serious problem if we're still being productive and the user loss has mostly leveled off.
Remember, we are never going to be a well-oiled machine. A brainstorming session might do us some good with the new happenings, and it's probably a good idea to refresh the twitter front if people are abandoning it as much as you say, but don't expect miracles to come of either option.
Things are going to be slow during the summer, but that's not necessarily the death knell you fear it to be.

I don't think activity is something mods have much power to improve. The whole idea of the purge increasing activity seemed hopelessly optimistic to me at the time, it's ruled more by the number of interested people not spending time on other things and the number of events to discuss.
>Host a #GG strategy round-table meeting in a sticky. Get faggots in and think up new #OP and dig ideas and plan out dates and order of execution.
GG has an abundance of leaderfags and a lack of workers. Productive stuff tends to happen because the person who wants it done actually works on it and makes it happen. New ideas created on command after 10 months aren't likely to be particularly good. It's not new but if anyone wants to do work and doesn't know what to do I'd like to see someone else doing the sort of solid digging that @Boogiepoprobin is doing.
Brainstorming might inspire more people to work on things, but it's perfectly possible for none of the new ideas to be good, and the discussion might not inspire much activity or get anywhere. Doesn't seem harmful so long as people don't bandwagon onto a bad idea or get too dissapointed if it doesn't get anywhere though.
>Run a "return to Twitter" campaign to get anons who abandoned the Twitter front (there's lots) to get back on the horse and spread the message again, so our network doesn't weaken.
No. Frankly twitter is a terrible platform and anyone spending time shouting into the void there reduces the number contributing to a better platform like HQ. Especially when they get burnt out at the stupidity that the platform structurally encourages. Per-person productivity is higher for fullchan than twitter, so encouraging people to spend their time there is the opposite of how to respond to less active people.
>Shill the board in the hashtag and on KiA and other media platforms so people know they can come here for the good stuff?

Most of gamergate's energy came from 4chan /v/ and /pol/.
Most of that has dissipated as people lost interest.
Strange it lasted as long as it did, I thought it would be over when the TFYC got funded, rapeape the 4chan mod said 8chan would be dead in a week. People underestimated GG.

Gonna have to disagree with this in the strongest terms. The only people we talk to here are eachother. We took over Twitter in the first place to get #GG's messages out of our hubs and into the normalfag wild. It can't possibly be overstated how important it is to keep control of the one mass media platform we have.
>However, I'd like to float the question of why it's so urgent that we raise our numbers.
Numbers means more experience being shared, more brains and eyes analyzing content and ideas, and more mouths spreading what we come up with. Numbers aren't the end-all-be-all and I don't think we should ever compromise ourselves to get them, but they are at least somewhat important to maintaining our effectiveness.
>I don't think activity is something mods have much power to improve. The whole idea of the purge increasing activity seemed hopelessly optimistic to me at the time
Agreed, but the staff knew that seeing an upswing was a long shot going in. At least we didn't end up like revolt, so we overcame that particular trap with it. It didn't have the hoped improvement in our size, but it did stop the death spiral we'd become caught in, which is a net win.

It's the truth, hell just go ask anyone who isn't currently active in gg.
You went full ows and full leader, no one wants to be part of a movement that's just circlejerking around leaders, arbitrarily restricting content and actively hounding out those wanting to take action.
I was in gamergate to fight for free speech which solves all of the other issues involved because when people have the right to reply and the place to do it people can't get away with all the other shit. Once gamergate became pro-censorship and started acting like sjws I eventually realised it's just not for me. Your numbers will never recover (gamergate that is ) nor will your quality of discussion. You drove away the people who cared and contributed most either through your own vanity/stupidty or in some cases I suspect wilfully.
At this point I just hope gg dies soon a sfrankly it's an embarrassment to see something I fought so hard for right from the start become not only a joke but the very thing I was fighting against.

Ya at the end of the day folks I have to be frank. This anon is right. I have been a regular poster here since the board migration and I have to say,at first I could really appreciate the new direction that was being taken wrt community managment. It really did (initially) improve the quality of discussion and got alot of things back on track that bladee and co had let go sideways.
But that said the risk was that if certain people's egos got to big it would all turn inward, the idiots among us would be the most vocal people, and shit would fall apart. And that seems to be exactly what happened. Shit /v/ is now apparently saying "gg is over after airplay" and shit like that. Its obvious at this point, painfully so what went wrong here.
I think its time we refocus our efforts on things like some of the investigative style stuff /pol/ is known for and covering the many happenings of the descent into madness western society is going to have in the next year or so. Shit, we practically have a responsibility to at least cover this shit, no one else does (at least the entire story that is).
So I think it is time to move on sadly. Don't know what else to say, I can't stay in denial anymore at this point. Seems to me GG ran its course by the time the last board imploded, and it should have ended then.

The fucking hypocrisy of that statement is hilarious coming from you. You are the one who purged those you didn't like. You are the one who encouraged if not helped /v/ to raid and witch hunt anyone with a different opinion. Fairly certain you shilled for KIA mods on their reductionist crusade or at least worked heavily with them considering how similar your statements as "leaders" were not to mention within 24 hours of each other. Oh and why don't you suggest going back to basics like boycotts, oh wait you and your lot forced all those guys out too.
Keep just throwing shit out there like it's not your person fault (and every dick who went along with it too) while things continue to fall apart.

I agree with this but it happened much earlier on when twitter/irc circlejerkers tried to make themselves the leaders.

This board didn't even exist then. I think the most GGHQ's ever had is around 1800 and the numbers on /gamergate/ were already declining in January/February away from the peak point you're remembering. From there it's been a steady decline and activity in general seems to be that way everywhere but KIA, who grows with the added benefit of being more anti-SJW and one of the main places to discuss reddit drama. People have mostly settled into their little groups. I don't mind the smaller size as much because it's easier to keep focus and getting co-opted is becoming harder. Just important that we don't lose the ability to have fun.

Everything was. We were expecting the "Christmas Stalingrad" as early as the beginning of September. We had a pretty solid recovery by the end of January, with SVU giving us a nice shot in the arm.
I don't think anyone saw a summer slowdown coming. Traffic dipped hard right at the end of May, and nothing on the board changed significantly around that time vis-a-vis rules or anything else. We laxed up moderation continuously after that point and the bleed continued. The only major event that seems to coincide is the beginning of summer and schools in the US getting out. Alternative theories are welcome, but that is all I can personally see.
KiA is actually our only front running strong. The tag is hovering just above 10k a day, down 60% from our "normal" a couple months ago. And of course, this place dropped significantly also.
We need something to either reel back people who lost interest or to entice new blood to become active with us. #GG doesn't have leaders, but the hubs exist to allow a solid "base" community that can collectively perform leader-like functions. Specifically: Keeping people coordinated, combating shills, and spreading the word. The latter part there includes recruiting new membership and cleric-ing the current as required. KiA is off the deep end of the SJW tangent right now especially with Pao's Sword of Damocles hanging over them, so in my mind it falls to us.

True, but we do have the power to change what we present and the ways we present it. One idea I floated to the mods was to adapt #OP Shills in a Barrel to SJWs in gaming. Pick a couple targets and dig into them for dirty laundry to spread, the way we looked for COIs with the journos. An idea I got in return would be to try throwing #GG's weight into the PCmasterrace effort for the PC game port review system, and then use our involvement as a platform to reach that audience.
I think we have options, we just have to choose carefully what to go with so we don't step on our own dick elsewhere.

You place blame without any evidence other than a very rough correlation in timing, when other major factors were also in play like summer break starting. Then you assume that you're correct and make follow-on arguments based on that premise, expecting each to be taken on its face.
Personally I think you hate me and your confirmation bias would blame me for 9/11 if the timing roughly added up. Feel free to provide any evidence to the contrary that ~1000 other people all felt the same way you do and packed up and left because I'm such a horrible BO.

The irony of these kinds of statements is that they suggest that this great number of extremely important people would be able to do something on their own terms. But of course, no such thing ever happens. The closest thing to a split emerging was /ggrevolt/ and we saw the abundance of worthwhile content produced by THAT.
It's the same song and dance every time: "all the REALLY important people have deserted you. I can't name them because they're anon, but I have suspiciously accurate awareness of their number at the same time. Everyone who mattered and had true and lofty goals is gone, but at the same time these mythical paragons will not do jack fucking shit despite the fact that I declare them to be the true force that ever accomplished anything within GG. You have driven them out because you listened to "leaders", instead of listening to the nonspecific people I vaguely refer to who were not leaders, the difference between them being vague and confusing."

Sure.
I still think DevDex is a good idea. You guys have a bugaboo about it but it would be nice if some would join us in the IRC and help us out. We only want to improve the gaming industry here.
Another idea that only I really did and never gained any traction is taking CL's info about IndieCade and the IGF and IndieFund and e-mailing the FTC about it. They're looking into Kickstarters, it's only logical they could also look into this as well. They haven't looked into it at all, I really think there should be a push for this.
Also, I know people have programming skills here. I know people don't like Drybones now but I think StartButton was a good idea, but Based Gamer came out and it's a glorified Bleacher Report for games.
No one bothers talking about making some sort of consumer list for consumers, by consumers, when it comes to games. The closest we ever really get is something like /v/'s recommended games wiki, but I think there needs to be something more comprehensive than that.

Same fucking thing EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. You talk about all these important people who left, but every goddamn cunting time you're asked to say who they are, you run behind Drybones' skirts. Every time the ayytists' apologists yap about how they worked so hard, Drybones is the single solitary guy they can mention. There's sure an assload of bitter, useless cunts claiming everything they say is golden by hiding behind him.
Not to mention that he began to have his vague as-yet-unexplained moaning about GG even before Blade imploded, so I have no idea why you would blame Acid for that.

I actually didn't mind DevDex at all in principle. The concern with it is keeping a hard line so it doesn't interfere with REBUILD. The shilling and animosity that was coming from where it started also cast suspicion on its intentions. I maintain that its a good idea in principle and I hope it succeeds as a separate initiative from #GG.
>Another idea that only I really did and never gained any traction is taking CL's info about IndieCade and the IGF and IndieFund and e-mailing the FTC about it.
Is there anything actionable in the information? IIRC the only argument against doing that was that we didn't have any hard slam-dunk kind of evidence to pass to them and didn't want to push it just to see it debunked and the IGF off the hook.
>Also, I know people have programming skills here. I know people don't like Drybones now but I think StartButton was a good idea, but Based Gamer came out and it's a glorified Bleacher Report for games.
Drybones is a sad case, but the choices he made were as one-sided as it gets. Even I kept sticking up for him until he went full autist and shut down his infrastructure out of butthurt. I'm still utterly undecided about BG, but I'd agree that more pro-gamer sites ran by #GG allies would be a good initiative to push.
>No one bothers talking about making some sort of consumer list for consumers, by consumers, when it comes to games.
Only tricky part of that is REBUILD. The only way to perma-death the journo network is to make them obsolete by building a direct link between devs and gamers. Its something that SHOULD happen, but not yet IMO. Not until the tide of devs is more publicly with us and stable. When Rebuild has won on its front then we should supplant the journos for dev criticism as well, I think.
>But whatever, I'm just a salty shill cuck, right?
Yes. :^) But your ideas have merit.

This post may initially give the impression that I'm calling for GG's end but this is not te case, read it in full before commenting.
I think that the reason why people are losing interest in GG is due to GG supporters not actually needing GG anymore. Think about it for a second. If you support GG you're most likely already aware of all of the corruption that's going on in the gaming press. You know not to trust articles published on Kotaku/Polygon/Gamasutra/Destructoid/whatever. You already know that there's a good chance that the author of the article/review wrote it while having an undisclosed conflict of interest. You don't need the gaming press to reform because you already know that you should ignore it.
The only people who might duped by the gaming press are people who aren't aware of all of its corruption and it's for these people that GG should exist. What we need to focus on are projects like deepfreeze which work on spreading awareness to the issues that are central to GG. Our success is not dependent on how many of us are there, but on how well do we succeed in having our message spread.

I have a general knowledge question. Why is it a conflict of interest if journalist A, say, supports person B on Patreon, then gives him or her positive coverage (without disclosure)?

Personally, we don't need any more "allies" to GG.
Our concern shouldn't be to recruit. That has been done ages ago. The initial fire from September to November has long since passed and despite the bitching from happeningfags and dramawhores everywhere we will never get it back . It's just not how controversies usually work.
The longer gamergate goes on, the more uninformed the outsider will be. We will not be vindicated for what we did here: instead a year or two from now most will just go "lol yeah that thing with GG and SJWs was crazy shit". The facts will be irrelevant: neutrals will just see us and SJWs as two coins on the same side and leave it at that for their own convenience.
As you said, we don't need vast numbers anymore or be a raging inferno. We've accomplished and done damage more then any anonymous faggots on the internet should have been able to achieve. Our successes need to be pushed with not only continuously spreading awareness of the bullshit (it's so much fun reading how comment sections in journalistic websites have morphed and changed ever since gamerGate) but also for rebuilding for a better media and gaming.

Gamergate 2.0 is a thing in the future. And by that time Gamergate will be remembered more fondly as people will realize in hindsight the damage this SJW moral panic has wrought.
Take IRL moral panics like Satanic Ritual Abuse for a good measure. Corrupt media also played integral part on that one.

Yeah but what we need in order to succeed is not new a new fire to expand our ranks, we just need to energize our current base. According to 8chan's board list we had 654 active users in the last 72 hours. Let's suppose that only ten percent of these people become dedicated diggers. That's about 65 new diggers. @BoogiepopRobin from twitter, who is a great digger, does digging about twice a week with the intention of finding new COIs. If the new diggers in the hypothetical scenario that I'm proposing will follow the same routine, than within about a month or two will be able to have deepfreeze grow significantly, probably even twice or more of its current size.

Well, it started out being about corruption and political correctness damaging the hobby/art of gaming, but at this point, it's more about rescuing feminism (and other equality movements) from insane SJWs.
At its heart, GG is really a Progressive movement, which makes it really ironic whenever anti-GGers claim that GG is "right-wing" or "Republican astroturf" or whatever. We're working for a future where people will *actually* be equal, whether they have vaginas or penises, no matter what their skin tone is, whether they like pickup trucks and country music, or having anal sex with members of their own gender. SJWs are working towards a future where all of that stuff *always* matters; we're working towards one where none of it ever matters.

Aside of reddit having numerous different communities ("communities"), and keeping everything under the same umbrella is dumb, it also has a quite a group of SJW, which, guess what, have huge control of the site (moderators and admins), for quite a time by now (it became way more noticeable the last year, but in hindsight they had it for a long time).
SJWs have a lot of control of reddit, but SJW media outlets keep calling reddit a hateful place of racism/sexism/homophobia, this does not compute.

It's to enable further SJW control of Reddit. They want to drum up investors, etc. into removing boards like KiA and The Redpill.

If we are concerned about our reputation then the following quote from this helpful info link may be of concern.
>5) Anti-conspiratorial. They almost always have disdain for 'conspiracy theorists' and, usually, for those who in any way believe JFK was not killed by LHO. Ask yourself why, if they hold such disdain for conspiracy theorists, do they focus on defending a single topic discussed in a NG focusing on conspiracies? One might think they would either be trying to make fools of everyone on every topic, or simply ignore the group they hold in such disdain.Or, one might more rightly conclude they have an ulterior motive for their actions in going out of their way to focus as they do.
The part about JFK might paint the movement as a mock-able conspiracy group.
Not a huge issue but its worth taking a look at maybe? I'm just a twig what the hell do I know.

The board self-destructed twice, and for the past 11 months has always been surrounded with drama on way or another.
Of course faggots were going to abandon it. gamergate boards have proven too unstable because of the nature of this controversy, compared to the likes of KiA which while having some drama has not spilled spaghetti all over the board yet.

Oh, I'm well aware. I'm not trying to say that KiA is better or anything: all avenues of discussion for gamergate has it uses.
I'm just saying: KiA has proven to be a very stable community. The gamergate boards on 8chan have not. They have burned down twice because of drama involving the board owners, bled users since the holidays, had two separate accounts of board rivalries, and both boards of this rivalry had a lot of criticism flung against it (whether legitimate or not is irrelevant).
It's no wonder why people bowed out and probably stick to Twatter. It's generally inevitable. I think this is further proof of how amorphous and controversial Gamergate really is if it can't be contained by a single anonymous board on 8chan.

If anything it proves that Kikewheels' libertarian philosophy actually doesn't work in practice. People want stability, and libertarians don't give a shit about that since they are borderline anarchists who are comfortable with complete chaos. KIA may be a hugbox, but they don't have to deal with constant board migration and shills. On Twitter shills are easy to spot and people gravitate towards e-celebs which, despite them being attention whores, are able to instil some form of control since people listen to them.

I'm one that migrated most of my GG to KiA, and the main reason was much more simple:
Its a lot faster to see what is going on 'today' there than it is here.
Here you have to filter out the ton of bullshit that goes on whenever there is no happenings.
There is ordered by relevancy.
But whenever there is a happening, I certainly do come here due to the immediacy of content and the more autistic nature of how the information is parsed.

Don't agree completely but I see where you are coming from.
Twitter relies on e-celebs. KiA, like all subreddits, is more hugbox but it's much harder to shill and keeps it more stable.
Then you have the gamergate boards, which were imageboards with much more free-reign and anarchy. No matter how good or bad the board owners did it all ended the same.
It's not just gamergate boards either. Other boards on 8chan have been destroyed, others have sprung anew. It might just be the nature of this site, especially with a board as controversial as gamergate.
Leader 07/21/15 (Tue) 15:53:36 464862 No. 233146

I think this is because KiA grew partly out of an existing community in TiA, which already had a curation structure in place. I guess the same could be said for the gg boards and /v/, but it's not as clear as it is on plebbit. The curation on KiA has also been much better than here. The board burnings caused us to lose a lot of people and momentum. I don't think many people think this board will stay going for very long, so I think people are reluctant to engage and become invested in it given what's happened in the past.
KiA has it's own problems though, focusing less on GG and more on other battles over time as they diversify and pick up more people from around plebbit. I don't like a lot of those people and a lot of what they post makes me cringe and not want to be associated with them, so I deleted my plebbit account a while back.

Heyho
August 28th 2015 is coming up pretty soon, and I had this idea boiling in my head. However I'm not sure if I'm the only one who would want to do something like this, and basically asking if we should create a thread for it.
GG meet ups aren't something new, but considering how important that one year anniversary of the "gamers are dead" articles are to us, I would think that a HUGS global meet up in all major cities around the world would be a great way to celebrate our won battles, prepare for the rest of the war AND to show SJW no, we ARE still not dead. Gamers will not die.
Milos book is being finished soon (I think not sure if it is already out if so my bad) it would be great to end it at such a high octane.
I am not sure how to organise something of this scale, but I would be thrilled to help if GG would actually want to.
So what do you think? Potential? Complete Shit? Should I just kill myself? So should be try to make this happen. I looked through the Web and didn't find anything like this, so I'm sorry if it was already proposed. We have about a month.

Please no, not a fan at all. They do nothing for gamergate but make it into an identity and a social hangout, make us lose our biggest weapon which is our anonymity, and bring cringey Chanology aspects to it. GamerGate isn't a social movement.
Just hang out as gamers. Our anniversary will likely be just the same as any other day: sending emails, watchdogging over corrupt game journalists, and blowing SJWs the fuck out. Besides, it's likely not possible to organize something at that scale. Just go to the local meetups.
Of course, this is all just my opinion. You can do what you want, you are your own leader after all.

Unless you have something far more concrete than a video of hypotheticals, Sargon drama is still e-celeb drama and goes in the containment thread. Threads for e-celeb drama outside the sticky are subject to autosage or deletion.

you should tell Gawker then, when they announced their brand change while explicitly naming Gamergate and implying GG is the reason they have to fix their image.

also FTC forcing native advertising to be obvious and crediting Gamergate specifically. like it already is in more respectable news sources.
Gamergate is a redpill dispenser, you can see the full effect of it now in ANY news article that is wrong with a comment section. Unless a mod is being trigger happy, most comment section overflow with criticism instead of the blind cocksucking we used to see.

So I was looking for information on Bioware, EA, and Dragon Age stuff to see what went wrong from Origins to Inquisition.
Gotta say that deepfreeze.it finding some of this information. Got a laugh when I found out gamespot use the entitlement argument with DA2 with a combo of online hate of m'lady.
I will mention that there is consequences for EA and gaming journalist's obsession with calling gamers entitled trolls.
1. The Old Republic was not the WOW killer that gaming journalists promoted it to be, and is now advertising free to play with the rest of the free to play mmos.
2. Noticed EA took a longer time to developed Inquisition as it was not rushed out in less than 2 years like DA2 was.
3. Bioware employees with high ranking position leaving. Both Casey Hudson and Jennifer Helper left Bioware at times that where EA was under the most pressure from consumers from there recent games that had been released and negatively received by many consumers.
4. No release of official sales figures. You get the first week and nothing else. Interesting enough, Inquisition's first week sales are somewhat disappointing when compared to what other games have sold in there first week. The mediocre destiny shoved more units and half the game got cut. In addition, no other official sales numbers have been given other than it's first week.
5. Other notable things. BF4 had a glitchy as all hell release. EA's Origin service on PC had a return policy before steam and even offers prices competitive to such EA did something right? .

Bit off-topic but I remember when foreign gaming "journalists" came here in Finland and interviewed Colossal Order about Cities Skylines. Karoliina Korppoo admitted openly that if EA wouldnt have fucked up their newest SimCity so badly, their own game probably wouldnt have sold as well as it did now.
Something more on-topic for Gamergate:
Those same reporters kept pushing leading questions about how horrible is it to be a female game developer and how much harassment shes got. And they didnt want to take Karoliina's "nope, never been harassed."- for an answer so they just kept pushing it.
Most game developing teams here are small and made by a group of friends, so its pretty similar thing to the rest of eastern- and northern Europe. Of course theres no fucking harassment when all your colleagues are your childhood- or school friends and you co-own your small company with them. Something the dumb fucks of US "game journalists" refused to understand.

STAFF ANNOUNCEMENT
For those wondering, this was promised back when we did the purge. Since using an IRC room to coordinate the staff was new, and at least a little bit against the board's original intentions, I gave my word that after everything had settled down and we were all back to business that I would release the logs to the board to give you guys a measure of transparency.
The logs consist of the following:
>The pre-purge planning and discussion among the staff, minus the first half hour of "hello"s and the executive overview because my dumb ass didn't realize I forgot to enable logging
>The actual execution of the purge
>The handling of the various trolls, spammers, and other fallout we dealt with over the ensuing several days
What has been redacted from the logs:
>Personally identifying information of the staff, including IP hashes, client info, and parts conversations that would reveal personal information
>Sensitive discussion of board settings and activity (anti-spam measures and so forth)
Everything else, whether mundane or embarrassing, was deliberately left alone. Feel free to observe your board staff shitposting in their natural habitat.

4chan has scripts of google analytics running on it. Basically, google is getting data on 4chan. This anon claims that google blocked us because we do not have those things on 8chan and thus google is getting no benefit out of us.
Now, I personally think its more likely somebody is spamming googles CP takedown requests (however you can do that) than google caring about the little bit of lost info here.

Hey, different Anon, not even gamer or 8chaner..just wanted to check in on you all and ask if anyone can tell me if I've got this timeline straight:
>Quinsperacy threads sledge cross company collusion to bribe industry reviews is Anti-Trust pricefixing, a serious fucking crime, intended to prevent, by conspiracy federally protected free-market capitalism. Back up these alagations with names, dates and photos gleaned from a tell-all about how one of the few females allowed to break into Greenlighting was a …well it was a sex scandal, and opponents of "Gamergate" focused on the origin of the original proof.
>Industry responds that games are just a small side division of their companies, and games journals and sites unimportant specialty publications.
"It's just a 20 Billion dollar-a-year industry, like the entire combined State and Fedral primary school expenditure, or the U.S. domestic Drilling & Minning GDP, nothing big."
>Game media responds with several near identical articles, with the same sources, hinting at an even more extensive media co-ordination, working FOR the people they claimed to be objectively reporting ON. WikiLinks later confirms this with email list server lists and leaked emails.
>Quinnpracy threads, now stylized as "Gamergate," after a #trending, adds "why, if our demographics so closely match national demographics, are executives and designers almost exclusively white men? Why was there only the one way to get a game distributed, and that particular game, when there were so many more, much more popular with the fans, games designed by women?" to growing list of questions. Begins letter writing campaign. Asks if illegal collusion might ALSO be described as a co-ordinated conspiracy to keep many qualified minorities out of the Industry.
>Some of the questions are addressed by publication regulation (ads are finally labeled ads, across ALL publications, not just gaming).
>Department of Justice only comments "kids toys are not a concern."
>Industry figures make mocking jokes that minorities either don't game, don't care or don't matter. Attribute letter writing to a few "neck beard, basement dwellers from Anonymous-a group of ansty teenage anarchists, using multiple accounts."
>Several campaigners angrily reveal their names and faces; many experience harassment.
Rather than being scared off, many more gamers, from beyond the original letterwriters join them. Hashtag #NotYourShield trends, referring to original 4chan users post.
>"Indipendent" critic who had previously fund raised on 4chan for a long delayed YouTube series become increasingly vocal and belligerent. Claims the "cis-white hetro-mysogenists of 4chan filled an entire page with dick-pics, just to scare her off." Because that's what strieght men do, post and discuss an entire board full of pictures of penises, contrasting and comparing them, for 24 hours a-day, seven days a week, for decades. For her. Her increased ire is due to cross-board fund raising for a charity, chosen because she had incited a damaging DDoS attack against it, and massively libeled it. Charity was notably similar to one that she administered funding for. Loudly and widely claims that no-self respecting feminist would ever have touched 4Chan sourced funding. Any claims of hypocracy are ignored. Asshurt intensifies. Cute little "level" is born.

>>GG is not an anti-harassment campaign, just as it isn't a harassment campaign. It's a consumer revolt against unethical (primarily games) journalism. Whoever isn't satisfied that we're not what they want us to be can kindly fuck off.
I'm not the person you were asking, I'm a completely different troll. I'm just wondering what CAN be done.
The public perception seems to be slipping worse again…I tried to defend you guys by pointing out, in the publicly available data, that while there ARE a large number of tweets tagged #GamerGate to the users complaining, a LARGE number, they also originate with the same cloud of users. Just circulating overthere.
There is little cross over between them and the much larger user-cloud with nodes of outspoken 'Gators.
They look, I explain, and they STILL ask me, "Why don't the GamerGate-rs just stop though? No matter how mean she's being, think of that poor girl's feelings. She thinks she's helping people." I point out she isn't getting tweets from most of the main cloud…it's just them, sending the tag back and forth to each other. The nucleus of the main cloud is almost entirely Blocked.
Oddly, the same could be said for their tweets. You aren't seeing them because the sender has ggblocker…going back to the original data in the aGG-biased, "GG looks like a hate group," and the rebuttal paper "GG looks like no other hash-path ever seen, it's a neural net-look how egalitarian, no leader-nodes at all, no signal-path, look how uniquely democratic it is, I'm not pro, but my wife is," data set that both sides agreed was accurate, long before anyone else had that blocker script. You guys can't help it if someone who is mass blocking all of you is using the tag back and forth to each other!!
There is STILL finger pointing and "I'm seven and I just watched Law and Order, why is the person in this video saying this? Shouldn't it be the other way around?"
I found that I couldn't even accurately describe the history…I'm too apathetic for activism and was hanging out over in /co/ (yeah, 4chan is misogynistic-/sug/ threads don't even remember that Rebeca is a grrl until another reviewer makes a big deal out of it…we never knew until "fries" we still argue WHICH tripfag she is, we just recognized the art style…and still don't care, only that "ookie-ookie-one-of-us")-my idea of "gaming" is more /tg/ even on-line.
I was just wondering, if I got you started, if someone could correct and clean up a boards-side view of what's going on here. Something we could point askers to, or that people could condense into quotes, or infograpxs or memes…there is some nice art in the next thread, how can trick someone here into making some catchy little pics that will spread outside of the community explaining things, so there's no steady trickle of newbies asking?

Please, for the love of christ, if you guys are going to insist on posting these sorts of threads on /pol/
stop fucking demanding shit from us
All you are doing with that crap is pissing people off and coming across as d&c. I don't know if it was somebody from here, /v/, or a shill that keeps posting these threads, but this is roughly the 3rd or 4th one of these I have seen in the last couple weeks, and they all have roughly the same posting style and the same condescending attitude.
Not asking you to just outright fuck off or not post things, not asking you to suck anyone's dick, just asking that whoever is doing this stop spamming so many threads out and stop being nasty and intentionally derogatory as fuck, because you sound like a shill and are derailing our board.We have a large number of ops, digging, and current event threads that go through /pol/ each day, if you want to be part of that stop putting up threads designed to make people fight each other or making demands of people who are busy with other things.

Well, back to my drunk history version of outsider's view, not a game-journalist, not a mattress feminist, not even a gamer…just an innocent bystander's attempt at an account from another angle. Probably inaccurate, not intended as insult to anyone…just a record of moods seen from the stands, and free to grab and improve on if it helps anyone who wants to know where to start looking.

Look man I get that you guys, or at least some of you have been trying this new "pro unity" thing or whatever lately but here's the reality.
/pol/ exists outside of the gaming world. Sure we helped start GG and were involved, but there was always going to come a time where most of us went back to our own devices.
Now that's not to say that you can't still discuss GG related happenings on /pol/, people can and do (for example the "think serious" video series was discussed there), but the issue is when you come in and start asking people to come back….it doesn't sit well with alot of folks.
And that's IF you do it nicely. But its fine don't worry about it man I am glad you understand. Just wanted to be sure we weren't getting shilled by the endomorphosis faggot or one of his goon's they made some of the prior threads.

Both those posts you linked seem to be from clear sperges and autists. It could have been anyone making that thread. id 449fb8 seems to be trying to claim credit, and he already admitted to not even being a regular or even a gamer >>279749
If morons automatically fall into "D&C" and start generalizing each other's boards because of one autistic thread clearly from someone not from 8chan and falling for it then I don't know what to tell them.
If it becomes a huge problem on your board then just report it and move on. These threads aren't anything new: on heavily shilled boards like /v/, /pol/, or GG boards these threads popping up are quite common and anons just need to be vigilant. Every board get's shit, transparent threads like this (even GGHQ), just laugh at the sperges being sperges and report.
I honestly don't see why this should be GGHQ's concern. Considering how many people bought the bait in that thread and kept it alive past 300 posts, I find that just as worrying then the sperg making the thread itself.

I'm not baiting, there are plenty of anons on revolt who contribute to GG as a whole, do operations and help with 8chan wide projects like Deepfreeze since the time that they started. The 3-4 people who falseflag as Revolt here have created a shitty image of those of us who actively do things, even if we don't like the way HQ is moderated, because there are still some of us who come here to help with operations but we can't discuss all of our ideas nowadays because "revoltfag" has become the new term/buzzword replacing shill (aka "people I don't agree with") and overreactions stemming from those few trolls made this happen and its quite frankly one of the reasons why people don't follow GG here as much as they did earlier in 2015. This branding of us as Ghazi is ridiculous, the only one you should blame are the flat out falseflaggers and autists because they are not the real /pogostick/ nor are they GG. We may disagree about how you handle this board, but we don't want to cause shit only the real morons do. Marking us as 4 people is just gonna make people angsty again like this guy >>290221 seems to be and with that it will drive out newcomers and those who've stayed on this long and its awful that we've degraded ourselves this far to become divided.

Is there something going on to ensure halfchan, especially halfchan's /v/, returns to their rightful owners?
As you know, when the Japanese guy took over, things have been more lax. No more straight deletions of threads talking about/shitting on SJWs. More and more people are speaking up against censorship, and SJWs can't do anything but resort to their ad hominems and shaming tactics. Some are still deleting GG-related threads and posts though, but that's okay.
4chan, believe it or not, has become mainstream, but not mainstream enough that it has to abide by the Politically Correct/PC rules. Normal people would find themselves there sometimes. It is important to project the image that the SJW ideology is a fringe and unacceptable one to normal people and other visitors from other sites. This means the majority of posts there should be anti-SJW, by debunking their statements with real facts or pointing out their insanity.
This is actually happening right now. More and more people are talking against SJWs and some of the SJW mods/janitors may have been removed and replaced. Some probably came from here and some are probably the normals. Truly, the new owner has no love for SJWs, or at least wants to remain neutral. And it's good. But it needs to go further.
Reclaiming halfchan doesn't mean abandoning fullchan. It just means reclamation and expansion. It just means keeping SJW influence in check to insignificant levels. It also doesn't mean you have to go tell them to support GG, are pro-GG, or anything like that. In other words, no one should know you're from here, but you should BTFO SJWs whenever you can.
Post like a "normal" and BTFO SJWs. Just counter SJW attempts to legitimize censorship, games journo corruption, their other crazy beliefs, and diminish support for corrupt organizations they support. If successful, the next step should be Reddit. In fact, both should be done at once.

Pic related, lean some empathy and put yourself in someone else's shoes, the skimpy "armor" bullshit was a joke well before gamergate came along. On a more serious note, what we should fear are not indie devs, but big publishers, because they have the sheer riches to buy off websites and reviews. Indies a a godsend to gaming, mainly because they offer ACTUALLY INNOVATIVE games with unusual gameplay. e.g.Dungeon of the Endless, Binding of Isaac, Dwarf Fortress (yes, I'm including Dwarf Fortress, that game is insane).

Get your facts straight dumbfuck, Jack Thompson appeared in one anti-Sarkeesian documentary that was made by two bozos who are seen by most of GG as a joke. Thompson has no involvement in GG whatsovever.
>what we should fear are not indie devs
You're a fucking idiot you know that? Nobody here has any kind of fear of indie devs. What we don't like is when journos write articles about indie devs they're friends with due to the obvious conflict in these kind of situations. What's worse is that in so many cases journos don't disclose those friendships in relevant articles, thus not allowing the readers to judge for themselves whether or not those articles are slanted due to friendship. And before you tell me that this is a made up gamergate concern, I'll have you know that gaming journalist Chris Priestman alraedy said in 2013 that this is a problem: https://archive.is/y7ERp

This is going to bring up a sour topic and get me accused of shilling, but to be frank I'm not happy with how Acid has been acting this past couple of days. Mainly, I'm not happy with how much dramafaggot, grandstanding and baiting he's doing to fuel drama.
When Acid first got the board, the consensus was for him to avoid getting into drama and twitter slapfights the best he can, something that the previous board owners failed to do. And for a while, he did.
Many people disliked Acid, mainly in the beginning it was the ayytism/burnout/shitposter crew since they were told to fuck off from here so he was often dragged into their pointless drama, but usually not by his own design. But now this past couple of days he seems to be willing throw himself in it, making things worse: engaging in dumb slapfights on twatter with dramawhores in order to score some sort of "BTFO" points and trying to lead some sort of autistic crusade against stupid faggots instead of trying to do his one job: stay away from drama and run a goddamn board.
Not going to lie, I feel like you've lost sight of what you are supposed to be doing here and shills are going to take advantage of that no matter what you do. No matter what, the discussion is going to get derailed and filled with dramafaggotry. And no one is going to go away, instead it's just going to fester more tribalism and infighting. In the end I just see massive potential spaghetti spilling, drama, and ultimately nothing getting accomplished. This past week has been nothing but infighting and shilling abound because faggots need their two cents in an internet slapfight with autists.
I think you should really think and consider taking a more backseat approach to modding: less tripfagging, less avatarfagging, no more engaging with shills or the inter-politics around gamergate. Everything you say is used against you pretty effectively and derails us often, yet you won't quit it even if it starts to be detrimental to the users here and elsewhere, and for gamergate. I would even go as far as to say that maybe you should consider deactivating your twitter for a while and taking a break, since you promised to not use it to contact anyone yet I then see my feed of you arguing with an autist and I question why I even bother. I also have a fear that someone is going to use you as a useful idiot in dramafaggotry fights and feed you purposely misleading info if you aren't careful. I mean, despite saying no cliques, you allowed yourself to be contacted by Zan on twitter during his drama with Nackt despite you saying you wouldn't do that and /v/'s protesting it.
Honestly I'm pretty disappointed with how much of a dramafaggot you've been lately and I fear more of the GamerGate discussion is just going to be derailed because of it. Everytime you get involved with drama it always makes things worse, never better. People keep telling you to calm down and stop sperging out over things a bit but you never listen and ignore them.
I like you a lot Acid and think you've done the best you could but honestly right now I'm pretty frustrated with your behavior lately. It just seems like the 3rd GamerGate BO may being going the dramawhore route just like Niko and Blade before him. Dramafags and sperging ruins everything.
Just my two cents from a slightly butthurt anon, take it however you will.

Twitter is was and will forever be gg's greatest mistake.

Yeah, Twitter was a mistake. Tumblr ironically does seem more chill.
I'm just sad since Acid is completely ignoring some /v/ anons now no matter how much they tell him to stop his sperging. He's on some crusade when he needs to just make sure the board doesn't implode. I fear that he may be getting used by third parties and that him perpetuating drama and saying the stupid extremist shit he has been saying lately will make the board implode and make him spill spaghetti.
I just want a GG board and Board Owner that isn't engaged in dramafaggotry for once. Is that so hard to ask?
