2038ae No.44
Update 2Another poll was opened including more choices. the board /gamergatehq/ apparently was endorsed by mark kern and the owner of /v/ so I suppose thats sort of relevant. Here is the new poll:
http://strawpoll.me/3947753/And the previous one:
http://strawpoll.me/3947266/Please be sure to revote on the new poll as well as it has more selections.
Likely won't change anything wrt this board.
Based on the poll:
http://strawpoll.me/3947266/https://8ch.net/gg/index.html Is the new board for now.
I will wait 24-36 hours before going back to a pure archive format board. Per earlier discussion this board would be purely for dumping info and alternate dig threads instead.
Many thanks to everyone who voted and good luck all. Hope we soldier on.
Previous post:
Hello all. Old /pol/ack /v/irgin here.
All I want to do is create a space where you guys can discuss whatever you want however you want regarding this shitstorm. No bullshit no eceleb drama no pasta nonsense. I have no vested interests in control ect beyond one simple thing: tone police/handwringers ect (like people who go around calling each other shills when they dont agree) aint allowed. Besides that anything goes.
Ask me anything.

We have already had three community managers burn out and shit the bed (Niko, Drybones, and Bladee) What contingency do we have the same will not happen here?
c99513 No.51
Shits all fucked up now and we need a new board run by trusted people. It needs to be run as boring as fuck by anons unaffiliated by e-celebrity bullshit. We need anons running this place autistic enough to follow the rules you put in that paste bin. Is /gg2/ gonna be the real deal?

>>47>and shit the bed (Niko, Drybones, and Bladee) What do you mean by that?
I never followed the mods on twitter or something so I really have no clue.
c8f469 No.53
>>52Niko was in charge of /gg/ and joked about giving it to Teridax. That led to the migration to /gamergate/, which is jointly run by Drybones and Bladee, who seem to have given it over to the GNAA.

>>47>>51>>52Bottom line with me is I don't care about any e fame e nonsense ect. All I want to do is provide a place for you guys to do whatever you want to do. Everyone and anyone is welcome. As for contigency, ultimately if this board burned down like others have we would fall back to v.
Highly doubt that will ever happen since I have no interest in control or power but hey other people have said that before.
Per rule 7, you guys can help choose who you can for mods to some extent (least I would like to do this) and any rule changes/structure changes would be voted on as well.
Gonna also hold a strawpoll on which board people may want to use (this one included).

1. Who is this bladee person and why is he so important?
2. Why is one single thread of drama enough to kill /gamergate/.
3. If we're going for the diversification angle, let's keep ourselves reminded (preferably with a sticky or so) of the other gamergate boards, since it isn't so sure about several boards, who the owners are.
Here are the ones I was told of:
/GG/,
/gg2/
/burgersandfries/

>>64/burgersandfries/ is not a place any of us are willing to go to, it would be filled with shills left and right. We've moved past the Literally Who's long ago, we barely even mention them unless they start stupid bullshit that matters.
/gg/ I thought was still owned by the original owner that nuked his own board the first time this happened. Reason being he tried to get a GNAA fucker to help moderate the board, the same people that appear to be shilling around the board we had.
/gg2/ I know not much about, it's a new board. I am wondering just who the board owner is, what the contingency plans are to if this happens again for future needs, and what the board owner can to do reassure us that none of what just happened will happen. I also wouldn't mind to know if they'll have help in moderating the place to some degree while they're away doing shit.
/gamergay/ is the only other place I heard of, and the same things I want to know about /gg2/ go for that one as well.
2038ae No.81
Alright fixed the bug. Anyway that being said I am up for whatever board people want. If another board wins this goes back to being an archive board/backup board.
However I can give you all my assurance if people choose this board, I will see to it that it stays up for the long term and that it respects the wants of the community.

It would be more widely oriented so people could come in and do research/digging on anything not just games media stuff. Would be pretty neat to have. If people choose another board or things fragment further we could also do that here.

Alot of projects many of them sadly not yet public have been sidelined lately, so I spent the last couple days working on those, thats primarily what I will be doing these days. Might do one more stream down the line who can say. I prefer getting work done.
And of course doing whatever you guys want.

Theres a quite a lot of buzz going on in /gamergays/ as well. In order to prevent our community from splitting up, any suggestions on how we deal with this situation?
My suggestion is fill the strawpoll someone set up. Then the most voted board wins, and board owners from others keep these as backups and promising ones get moderatorship in the winning board?

>>94oh this actually sounds exactly like I was thinking. my main hesitation is I don't want to draw traffic from hotwheels, my one true love. another problem is I'm trying to start earning money so I don't have time to dedicate to administration. I think it would be effective to have a space set up where it would be
easy to link and reference material. kind of like an archive for archive today that also allows for a bit of discussion.
I also don't want to put in time 'brainstorming' how to make things work - I spend as long as that as on actual design, haha
Finally, it would remain a rock for gamergate. I'm not sure how to best prove my commitment and lack of drama, but it's real
